it's annoying when parents don't understand that they too are disabled just like their children
and even if they do understand that it still sucks

i hate accidentally slipping in internet slang into a professional conversation.

it's become a part of my vernacular which is put aside normally, but every now and then something slips.


yesterday on a phone call,

her "so we'll have this call tomorrow to gather functional requirements, establish a price point, and make an offer"
me "you know how we do"
her "....... so that's a yes?"
me " yes."

hahaha


that's awesome

1/29/2008 11:46:20 AM

What's wrong with that? I just posted the o rly? owl in a sametime conversation with one of the developers from our l3 team.

1/29/2008 11:58:01 AM

^^^hahahahahaha that's great

1/29/2008 12:07:41 PM

allrighty then, yabadabadoo to you too goodbye!

1/29/2008 12:08:40 PM

i told my boss he needed to "keep it real" once.

1/29/2008 12:10:00 PM

There's a woman here who will corner you in a boring one-sided conversation for several minutes if you're not careful. Always talks about her damn kids. Has a weird hairdo that looks like a bad wig, but I'm pretty sure is her own.

I also hate how I have to sit with my back to my cubicle entrance, it scares the shit out of me when people pop in to ask about something. This also means my screen can be seen by all passersby, so I have to listen out for people walking past and pull up a work-related window. I'd get one of those 3M privacy filters if they didn't cost $80.

rearranging not an option?

1/29/2008 5:24:32 PM

Having to dumb myself down to communicate on a level with the stereotypical NC people

I'm not talking Charlotte or Raleigh people...I'm talking about what people think of when they think of North Carolina...Nascar and Barbeque people...I think Hickory is their Mecca

1/30/2008 4:12:49 PM

new ones:

-when people have their speakers on so i hear every little beep or chime from their fucking computer doing whatever in windows.

- when someone doesn't refill the empty coffee pot

- when i get stuck refilling the coffee pot

- when someone asks me to do something then comes back every hour to see if its done like i have no other assignments going on.

Unfortunately that's all too common. Texting too...I know it's faster to abbreviate, but I just think it doesn't come across well.

i hate everyone today, i want to go home.

2/7/2008 1:08:42 PM

BAHHHHHH

the guy who works in the office with me is sniffing LITERALLY every 30-45 seconds

it's getting annoying

[Edited on February 7, 2008 at 1:39 PM. Reason : i wonder what he would do if sniffed every time he did.......]

2/7/2008 1:39:04 PM

Bitch down the hall eating an apple.

I hate that noise.

2/7/2008 1:46:18 PM

haha I have an apple every day around 10 or 11. I can hear the guy in the next cubicle groaning a little when I do. I'm done in two minutes, it's not that bad.

2/7/2008 1:48:11 PM

Terrible noise.

2/7/2008 1:58:10 PM

lol

2/7/2008 2:10:48 PM

Well the guy next to me warms up the most annoying smelling dishes in the microwave and the smell lingers a lot longer than my noise lasts. So it all evens out.

2/7/2008 2:44:40 PM

i used to work at this one company, and there was one person who seemingly had never heard of daily showers or deodorant... i never worked so quickly or took so many smoke breaks in my life

2/7/2008 2:46:03 PM

So, okay, the spot I work at has 3 owners. One of them couldn't quite put up the same amount of capital as the other two, so he's working off his debt to them as a manager. But he has the least amount of people skills! You don't have to micromanage every single aspect of the entire place, dude. And learn to control your temper when the slightest thing goes wrong. You're a manager, there is no excuse for swearing at your employees, at least not if you're trying to project a professional image. I was actually a little happy when he sprained his ankle and couldn't run around after us all the time.

2/7/2008 2:47:11 PM

people at work think there is nobody on the other side of a wall and the bathroom(since they arent cubicals just long flat tables) with one long cubical like side.....they tend to fart to the bathroom and the mens one we always here the flushing as they leave the restroom, which means they didnt wash their hands(to hear the flushing at about the same time they exit.....didnt have time to wash hands)

2/7/2008 4:10:11 PM

based off a post i just made

do any of you work at places that pull hawaiian shirt day-esque stunts? (mostly aside from the casual friday kind of stuff, but go ahead and mention that too)

2/8/2008 9:36:48 AM

Yeah. Mon-Fri is wear whatever the hell you want day at my work.

2/8/2008 9:42:36 AM

we don't have a dress code whatsoever, but there are some folks who think every day is hawaiian shirt day.

2/8/2008 9:42:49 AM

I had a prof like that.

2/8/2008 9:50:11 AM

Today:

1) The guy with the jackhammer 15 feet from me on the other side of the brick wall.
2) The fact we don't have a full staff, but that each staff position is required to have a dedicated phone line . . . with no answering machine . . . with late 80s style touch-tone phones with ungodly loud ringers . . . that don't get answered.
3) The fact that the construction in the building means I have to literally, climb behind my desk every time I want to get back there.

2/8/2008 11:09:41 AM

the water from the water cooler tastes like mold.

2/8/2008 11:21:16 AM

someone barfed in the hallway

2/8/2008 3:43:55 PM

Haha, that's a rather unusual complaint for the workplace.

2/8/2008 3:44:53 PM

when people come in and look at me like an idiot because i "didnt know" that office was included with every copy of windows XP, not a separate product.

2/8/2008 3:45:56 PM

Upon passing the Men's bathroom yesterday, I overheard the building manager tell the janitor "There are solids on the floor".

2/8/2008 3:46:38 PM

ahaha

grody


i've really gotta whiz, but even the smell of vomit makes me queesy

and of course

it's right infront of the bathroom door.

even though im sure the custodians have cleaned it up by now

i'll know

i'll know

My work is the same way. It's great, but easy to fall into the sweatpants and t-shirt and not shaved every day trap.

2/8/2008 4:41:10 PM

someone forgot they are not in middle school and didn't flush the toilet after taking a big crap
