Several years ago I came in and somebody had moved everything on the left side of my desk to the right side and vice versa. I got real loud, basically cussing who did it and got a "talking to."
No I am an adult man. He's like in his late 40s. I had to have a talk with him and now my personal affects are left unmolested.
Same job bitch in the cubicle next to me was talking shit about my OCD told her to never talk to me again. Surprising it took 8 years for them to fire me.
Our department got asked to do a 1097 question survey. I'm sure they'll be getting a lot of responses.
It's currently 82 degrees outside, 78 in our office, and 2 women have jackets on and one just turned their space heater off
Talk about politics I wish they'd shut up. Way too opinionated. They read the headlines and then talk like they read every detail. They go beyond the stupid southerner stereotype with their anti-gay talk, especially. It's crazy how people can be so likable, but so god damn ignorant... and they're okay with that. In fact, there's nothing wrong with it, because "the bible says" Every time they talk about that shit, I want to bash their faces in.
We had a neurosurgeon about 10 years ago, little Asian fellow who thought he was 50 Cent. Every surgery he performed was soundtracked by Get Rich Or Die Tryin' ...it was great
One of my attendings is a smaller asian guy and its hard ass 90s rap every time. One of the nurses told me my mashups were "the most god awful music they'd ever heard." I don't play those anymore.
Sorry to hijack the thread but https://soundcloud.com/bruneaux/sets/bruneaux-the-art-of-noise best mashup album since Girl Talk-Feed the Animals
Got blamed by one of my staff today for her not knowing how to run a certain report. She's been running an alternate report and then editing it for 2 years. Every other person in the office does it the correct way. We all went to the same training. When I asked why she didn't do it the way we learned in training, she claimed she didn't learn that in her training. We were at the same training. This is just one example of it always being my fault when she doesn't know how to do something or doesn't know how to use our new software (which is now 2 years old)
We just discovered that she made her assistant an eighteen page "manual" for working for her. It includes "goals" and "expectations." She's been a lawyer for nine months.
She-Asshat called IT yesterday and was on the phone with them for like an hour trying to get them to basically make an easy button for her. She wanted them to make a button that she could just click once and it does everything instead of her having to click on something then click on something else. I feel so sorry for the poor tech that she was on the other line trying to explain how that's not possible.
you know that you can eat out and it doesnt have to be fast food right? hell you can even save some for later if you really wanted to.
Yesterday a lady in my office came over to the woman who sits next to me and said, "Heyyyy Mary, just so you know I'm realllyy trying to get back into walking. So if you would like to walk with me let me know." Woman walks around our tower for 10 minutes and returns to her desk mentioning how good that makes her feel. This woman exaggerates every fifth word that comes out of her mouth. "It's coollllld in here." "Mmm someone brewed a gooooood pot of coffee." Anytime anyone within 20 yards sneezes she damn near announces to the whole office, "GOD bless you." I could add a new anecdote everyday in here about this woman. She hangs up every certificate of completion she's ever received. Two hour work mandated ethics class that the whole company received a certificate for? Fuck it, frame it and hang it.
If there's one place somebody can be that kind of crazy, it's in a law firm environment. So, we'll see.
For whatever reason, this made me giggle. Guy in the cube behind me is probably recounting the moment on a message board somewhere.
a couple women that love to complain have gotten it to the point where the thermostat stays between 74-76 in the office. it drops below 74 and they start complaining immediately or turn on their space heaters. it's fucking ridiculous. one guy actually got an air conditioner for his office I might have to do the same.
I work in state government, and it takes an act of congress for someone to fuck with the thermostat. I've never had enough of a problem with the temperature, hot or cold, to even think about complaining. One women who used to work in my unit would walk into meetings wrapped in a Scooby Doo blanket. Way to keep it professional.
Posted about her in the random thoughts thread, but their is a woman who works in my office (luckily not in my department so I don't have to see her very much) that only eats pizza. Literally. I'll walk into the kitchen at 8:30 a.m. and there will be a personal pizza right out of the oven, cooling down, waiting for her to gobble it down. Not even a breakfast pizza. When we have food functions here she won't eat anything and she'll pop one of her pizzas in the oven. She also orders Hungry Howies for lunch if she doesn't have any pizza left in the freezer. She's fat, but not huge and probably about 28.
I want to say Totinos or something shitty like that. I haven't looked in the freezer in awhile though. She's actually not here this week, but when she comes back I'll provide some photo evidence.
Used to eat these all the time in college; $1 per pizza. Still will grab one every once in awhile for nostalgia.
My boss adjusted one of our FW rules while I was on vacation. Basically we allow a contractor RDP (remote desktop) access to a server from his IP to our server only. I checked it and my boss allowed any IP in the goddamn world RDP access to this server.
I get hit up by headhunters/recruiters a lot. This guy is absolutely the biggest tool of a human i have ever come across http://willreedjobs.com/ From the section called "Who is Will Reed?" "Will Reed is that one guy everybody knew in school. Picture the friend who landed big-time internships every summer in college. You admired him because he was a triple-threat: he managed to prepare for a career while still being friends with everyone and, and the fact is, he genuinely enjoyed helping people. He’s a few years out of school now and already tearing it up in the real world (as expected). Now you and all your friends are constantly hounding him to send their resumes around to his connections to land them a sweet job like his. People trust him because he shoots you straight and gets you in touch with the right people. And Will Reed would love to help you, too."
