I'm a fan of Steam Powered Giraffe, but I would not wear this out around town. SPG is a steam-punk band btw.
we had a late staff meeting today about "treating people with respect". I work with 20 women, I'm the only guy. The topic was directed towards the 20 women, I just kept my mouth shut in the corner hoping we would get out in time. Not a fucking chance.
That's not even the worst part. I think the worst for me is all the bad humor and all the fake laughs I have to give throughout the day.
Hi, yes, my coworker's friend is pregnant with her fourth. She's 22. Currently planning her second marriage and not yet divorced from her first. Conceived her third child while cheating on her husband. Her four kids will be within five years of age. I don't know who this bitch is but I want to find her and falcon punch her.
I know those feels right now. The last thing I want to do is fake interest in your tuba playing kid or what kind of food he likes. Get the hell out of here lady.
We have a runner that had a 2 year old child when she started here a little over a year ago. After working for about 3-4 months, she's pregnant again (different father). Has the 2nd kid, takes her 2 month maternity leave, has been back a little over a month, and just announced that she is pregnant again with what will be her 3rd, and with a 3rd baby daddy.
At what point do you fire a woman because she spends more time on maternity leave than on the payroll?
She's also like 24 years old, fairly chunky, and has a titty tat that our office manager had to tell he she couldn't show off at work.
There is a guy in my department that doesn't talk a whole lot but when he does, 75% of the time he uses a Donald Duck voice. It's weird as fuck. It kind of reminds me of JP talking like a robot in Grandma's Boy
The Youtube guy. We have one guy in our office that pulls up everything on the internet and then makes everyone watch it awkwardly around the lunch table. Just today: -"Man, that Michigan-MSU play was crazy." One guy commented that he hadn't seen it. Oh! here it is, watch how crazy it was. -"What a dumb fake punt by the Colts last night." "Oh, you didn't see it?! Look at how wacky this is!" -"Yall seen the preview for that new DiCaprio movie?" "No? Here, watch this 3 minute clip!" He plays SNL skits, old Chappelle Show skits, everything. If it comes up in conversation, and there's an associated video online, you can bet your ass he's going to make you watch it. Meanwhile, everyone just sits around awkwardly while the iPhone plays the fucking video.
Had to listen to the woman who routinely takes loud personal calls recount her trip to the Grand Canyon for 15 minutes. Hope she loses her voice.
I found out last week that this new girl thinks I'm a huge asshole because of me constantly having to get onto She-Asshat for being annoying. She won't come to me directly with any issues and asks someone else in their department to do it because she thinks I'm going to be mean to her. Fuck it, I guess you either get fired or you end up becoming the asshole yourself.
I hate how long everything takes working with 20 women. We are out of x supplies, my solution is order more x. With 20 women, it turns into a big deal, drama, random unrelated stories. Its never simple. Its never easy.
What would be great now is if some new poster posted "there's this asshole in my office at my new job. He's mean to everyone. Especially this poor girl he's always berating. I'm just going to steer clear of this ass hat until he gets fired."
Yeah she probably does think I'm an asshole. I went over and ripped all of She-Asshat's e-cards and memes she printed out from Facebook and taped to the Windows. I threw them in the trash, looked at new girl, and said "Shhh" to her and walked off.
"Since I am the unofficial “Spam Mail Queen” for the agency I wanted to pass along some unofficial “Didja Know” information." I get phone calls every week from individuals that ask to be added to my distribution list. They are usually comparing notes with co-workers and discover that some in their office got a specific e-mail from me and others did not. I mean why wouldn’t you want to be on my spam mail list? You find out about great things like free NASCAR tickets, free paperclips and rubber bands (which are still available for those needing them) and all sorts of other good and useful type stuff. You can’t ever complain that I don’t keep you informed on what is going on in the agency. she then goes on to explain how her emails are sent out, mostly by a distro all source she doesnt realize if they werent getting the first ones how are they reading that?
Exact same thing. They turned it on this morning and just left it on and now it's 81 outside and 78 in here. My gf said it was the same at her work too.
They block the view. She put some more up recently too so we have an amazing view but no one can see because she puts them up so everyone who looks over there has no choice but to see them. They're up higher that her cubicle walls. These are of her family, and I'm gonna tear them down too.
Oh yeah? Our AC/heater is always fucked up. Nobody (that I know of) will mess with the thermostat and it will be freezing or steaming hot so occasionally we'll have to go adjust the thing by a few degrees. The overstepping secretary's solution? Put a lock box over the thermostat. Was about 5-10 degrees colder in my boss' office this morning than outside of it. The secretary also tries and fails at enforcing a no space heater rule.
