Nobody talks about work here! And if I don't care for the conversation, I just close the window. Do you suggest I go on a break with duct tape in hand?!

Usage was very different - no possessive form.
"Worth of crap" is an expression, dearest, and it has nothing to do with the possessive form. The possessive form just happened to be illustrated in the example I used to show you "worth of something" used in. Oh, just in case, don’t waste your time to correct the preposition at the end of the sentence in case it bothers you. It doesn’t bother even me anymore. I can be very anal about grammar, but I’m here to have fun, not to be GC. As a matter of fact, me likie bein’ brat, capiche?!

"worth of crap" - Google Search

I might be missing some fancy vocabulary, but please don't argue with me about grammar because I (the foreigner) used to raise the bell curve in school and the native speakers hated me for that...

Now this here, while not really grammatically incorrect, is not common usage. Should’ve been "worth my time." Or perhaps you were being sarcastic?

In any event, after posting tonight what I promised you, I think I’m done wasting my time as well.

There is no objective measurement or definition for the worth of crap.
It depends entirely on subjective agreement between the craper and the crapee.

Oh geeze, I have to start my new job tomorrow. I've told myself to be on my best behavior until I can make myself somewhat indispensable.

This is what is known as the "bait and switch" method of job survival. Dress nice, act nice until you find something to do that no one else can do or is willing to do. Then you can let your hair down a little.

Fortunately I'll be working in an office where few people can read or write well. Let's hope my luck holds.

He’s actually doing me a favor without realizing it. The good news is when a forum starts irritating me more than it entertains me, I quit it. Not really big on “working on relationships”… The bad news is I usually get addicted to another one… Gotta work on this addictive personality of mine!
