haha but not so much. if it has to do with a negative stereotype or addiction recovery or court, i might know about it, but i'm not so much a know-it-all

7/22/2008 1:09:57 PM

from the lady and her supervisor!:

"Just go ahead and set it up; I am sure no one will notice."

done and done!

anal@wheremishaworks.org is now a valid email

7/22/2008 1:17:15 PM

probably, but I got an email from a higher up saying to make it because they have set regulations in email structure.

this is making working through my lunch more enjoyable

Supervisor: This computer isn't working. You are a man, you can fix it.

Me: Hmm, uhh. It looks like the monitor isn't plugged in.

Supervisor: Yes it is, look!

Me: No, that connects it to the graphics card, it needs a power cable.

Supervisor: Not, look, its plugged into the harddrive.

Me: That's not the hard drive.

Supervisor: Yes it is, look at it.

Me: That's the tower. The harddrive is in the tower.

Supervisor: We'll anyway, it's plugged in so why isn't it working?

Me: Its NOT plugged in, you need a power cord that goes from HERE to the outlet (points to plug in back of monitor)

Supervisor: Where do I get one of those?

Me: What happened to the other one? Never mind, just use one from those old computers piled in the corner.

Supervisor to other supervisor: Thanks, I told you to ask a man.


Ghhhaaaa I hate my job

7/22/2008 1:35:52 PM

^ Wow. That's ridiculous

7/22/2008 1:57:29 PM

^^ It isn't until you have your first job in a cubicle/office that you realize how right on Dilbert actually is.

7/22/2008 1:59:11 PM

yea ever since i started working in an office setting, dillbert has been hilarious to me

7/22/2008 2:06:30 PM

^^ so fucking true

7/22/2008 4:02:46 PM

When someone knocks on my door while I'm on the phone, but I can't figure out who it was because I asked everyone I actually talk to.

And also, when everyone I need to talk to is out of the office.

And when I call a number that's listed everywhere, yet it's still apparently wrong.

loud sneezers

7/22/2008 5:27:03 PM

When someone is in a file that I need to modify or delete. Or when the computer just thinks someone is, because nobody who could conceivably have it open does ... or they're lying.

7/23/2008 11:24:23 AM

the woman in the cubicle beside mine is talking about the pants that she just bought, and apparently it takes at least 20 minutes to describe them

7/23/2008 3:17:53 PM

i hate writing a 500 word email and getting back the very conservative one-worded reply 'sure'

7/23/2008 3:20:54 PM

^^^ Yeah, that shit pisses me off. Normally they just have so many goddamn windows open that they don't even realize they have the file that I need to modify open on their computer.

[Edited on July 23, 2008 at 3:37 PM. Reason : o_O]

7/23/2008 3:21:06 PM

im bad about leaving a couple things open, but its not my fault it got setup that way

no one reads emails that long.

you're wasting time

7/24/2008 8:31:40 AM

Yeah, that is exactly how I reply to most of my e-mails.

7/24/2008 9:56:15 AM

Sometimes you use a whole sentence.

7/24/2008 10:06:51 AM

So I sent out an email to let everyone know I had a rather large print job, and how about I run back to my desk, then go to the printer and someone has taken it off the printer and like stacked it on the table. The shit was collated!!!! I had to go through all those copies and separate them again.

WTF?!?!?! How hard is it to just sit it on the table. I guess they thought they were doing me a favor and completely failed

7/24/2008 12:50:25 PM

^i hate hate HATE that shit. i've had countless print jobs all fucked up b/c someone thought they were being helpful when really they're just wasting time. if i printed it, then it's mine. if you printed it, it's yours. let's keep it that way.

and don't bring stuff to my desk. if i left it up there it's b/c i'm printing out more stuff and need to bind it all together. having to run back and forth trying to find all my papers makes me mad.

7/24/2008 1:24:35 PM

People who ask if they can respond via e-mail and then proceed to not respond via e-mail.

Came into the editing room today and my mentor had been in there working on editing photos. She's a bitch and gives crappy advice, anyone at the studio can vouch for it.

Anyway, there's several patches of blood on the damn chair. I mean, not just drops, patches. Still glistening. And a finger smear of it on the damn desk next to the computer. I had been talking to her about some details from the morning shoots and she was acting like she was in pain, and I asked her if she was alright, and she told me she had cramps...

I can only imagine what was going through her mind when she realized she had period all over the office chair, rubbed herself to see if she had bled through, and when she found blood on her finger, wiped it on the damn desk.

This woman is in her forties! For crying out loud!

Boo working all day

1900 spam emails...

and they are still coming....80 at a time

7/25/2008 9:51:27 AM

what kind of email do you got? if it not gmail, just get something like thunderbird or outlook as client because they have good junk mail filters.

7/25/2008 9:52:47 AM

the term "task force"

it's like they randomly selected a group, armed them with riot gear, and sent them on a mission to remove gum from under desktops

7/25/2008 10:24:36 AM

my supervisor is a condescending asshole who hasn't been capable of doing his official job in 5 years

but that's okay...i take every opportunity possible to make him look like an ass

7/25/2008 10:25:44 AM

when people take shit off my desk without letting me know.

thanks assholes, you lost my shit and now I've gotta redo it. And yes, the boss knows you fucked up.

7/25/2008 8:27:56 PM

Dell. Not their computers--no, those are fine. Their packaging. Must every fucking thing in the box be in a bag, inside of a bag, inside of a box, with the cord secured with multiple twist ties? Why are the ends of video cables wrapped in little sheets of foam? GAH. It's extremely irritating, it makes setting up a new computer take longer than it needs to, and it's pretty damn wasteful too. Let's generate MORE trash.

7/25/2008 11:41:20 PM

I hate when I run out of water and have to walk around the corner to get more.

I hate when there hasn't been some tradeshow/party/event at work in at least two weeks.

I hate when my director makes us all take two days off to go to his house and drink and learn about design theory.

I REALLY hate that I don't have any set hours and roll into work at like 9:30-10 everyday and its okay.

I hate that I have tons of toys in my office and only an hour or two a day to play with them.

7/26/2008 1:16:24 AM

sounds fucking horrible man, how do you do it?

I get unbelievably angry when people with food stamps buy shit I haven't been able to afford in MONTHS

I'm fine if they buy the essentials, things like bread, eggs, beans, and rice.

But fucking popsicles, Diet Hawaiian Punch, fresh pineapple, and a ton of damn chocolate?


People who think food stamps are a good idea should look at what these fuckers actually buy. I'm glad they take MY money from working 35 hours a week so someone else WITHOUT A DAMN JOB can buy food I can't afford.

7/27/2008 5:00:55 PM

when did they start making diet hawaiian punch ?

sign me up

7/27/2008 5:02:03 PM

One of my coworkers got an offer letter from someone working with Black Berry phones.

I kind of want her to take it because it's better money and a secure job, but if she leaves we lose our network admin and 1 out of our 3 person team and I genuinely like her!

It's also fun working with another girl because I didn't for 2+ years, and I know it's unlikely they'd hire another woman.

7/28/2008 9:34:47 AM

^^^ My favorite is seeing them being used to pay for cigarettes.

7/28/2008 9:37:33 AM

I hate when the secretary steps out back to smoke a cig every fifteen fucking minutes

If her boss was here today, I'm sure she'd find something more important to do than bullshit myspace & update her online dating profile.

7/28/2008 10:09:52 AM

I'm so quitting my job today

7/28/2008 10:20:34 AM

^^^I didn't think that was allowed?

7/28/2008 10:27:52 AM

it's not, neither are magazine tabloids, or other useless bullfuck.

7/28/2008 10:28:55 AM

what does it take to be eligible for food stamps?

say, if I was working an unpaid internship and had limited income (student loans) could I qualify?
