So, what exactly is the work and what exactly is your paygrade?

holy shit, my boss just called me for the first time since the week of july....

and ignore

10/8/2008 1:14:13 PM

yeah July is like the longest week of the year





seeing it start to rain, thinking you left your windows open, taking the elevator 46 flights down, running to the parking lot, then realizing you didn't leave them open after all

Part of an email received this morning:

Quote :

"As you may notice, we have fans blowing the carpet dry and some of the base boards and ceiling tiles had to be removed due to water damage that would cause mold to grow. I ask for you to please bear with any inconvenience this may cause you or your guests, due to the noise and things being moved out of place. Hopefully, it will only be for a day or two. Thanks for your cooperation."

IT'S SO LOUD IN HERE

I'm a cashier in a grocery store. My boss wanted me to plan a bunch of things to better market the store (he's the marketing director).

10/9/2008 6:21:30 PM

If that's your highest skill set then you don't deserve to bitch.

10/9/2008 10:01:59 PM

It doesn't matter what your skill set is, you shouldn't get paid jack shit to do someone else's work FOR them while they dick around on the internet. It's a matter of principle, and it applies to people in every income bracket.

10/10/2008 1:01:07 PM

So, let's say I don't want to spend my free time mowing grass. You're saying its a bad thing if I want to pay someone to do it for me who needs the money?

10/10/2008 1:05:45 PM

No.

My boss is not the head of the company, his boss is. Therefore, he's getting paid more per hour from the company funds than I am while he is not the head honcho. If he was wasting his own money in this situation, it would be different.

10/10/2008 1:07:41 PM

He's your boss he can delegate whatever the fuck he wants to you.

10/10/2008 1:56:03 PM

dealing with a cunt PI that can't figure out the horrible difficulties of a garden hose and threatening to end her experiment.

Also being called back after I'd already been at work for 12 hours with no lunch or even time to get some fucking water because someone can't figure out how to open a goddamn door. I guess keys are too complicated for people to understand.

10/11/2008 10:04:34 AM

i giggle whenever the a/r lady takes a credit card payment over the phone, it sounds like she's doing an amateur porn when they are reading here the numbers:

uh-huh....uh-huh...uh-huh...oookayy.

how long has he been there?

how long have you been there?

how long will he continue to be there after you're done with school?

10/13/2008 7:04:06 PM

Some piece of equipment, I am guessing a printer, is making a high-pitched squealing noise. Headache, here I come.

Probably not much longer. The accountant has fucked everything up so thoroughly I doubt the place can recover.

I think the new guy is partly deaf

his music is shitty and loud, and I have to yell whenever I talk to him, which is funny because my boyfriend knows I have no indoor voice

I hate Wednesdays

Working at the front desk sucks, but at least I have a new copy of Wired to read!

10/22/2008 11:12:02 AM

Other employees who dick around on craigslist for two hours in the back when they're supposed to be at their station

Other employees who take one-hour paid breaks (which we do not get) to talk to their friends outside and walk to the gas station to get more cigarettes

Other employees who are not punished for gross incompetence or coming in drunk to work EVERY day. Seriously, I can smell the bourbon on your breath.

11/2/2008 10:37:05 AM

Not just work, but all the time:
people who change their gmail status to say 'busy', but stay green.

You know how I know you're retarded? You're too stupid to change to red.

cell phones not being on vibrate

11/5/2008 10:14:34 AM

People who drive a new Mercedes, have bling, a cell phone, new clothes, a designer purse...

and pull out their EBT card, then proceed to bitch about candy not being covered by food stamps.

I'm walls1441 and i approved this message.

11/11/2008 1:14:12 AM

people who leave their phone at their desk with a loud annoying ringtone.

11/11/2008 1:15:49 AM

People who reply to all.

Seriously, cut that shit out.

11/11/2008 11:48:33 AM

My contact lens just floated up on my eyeball and I can't get it to come back down, and I don't have any lens solution here at work.

11/11/2008 11:53:26 AM

^^REALLY!

I'm glad it's your birthday. One Happy Birthday would have sufficed.

I also hate when coworkers disappear for hours without explanation, and not on lunch break. I often wonder if they're in a secret meeting plotting against me.

Finally got the lens out!

I reply to all if I deem my reply as comical, which is like 95 percent of the time

I don't others to miss out on my incredible wit

11/11/2008 12:00:47 PM

Yet another fatass person on EBT complained about massive packages of Reese's cups not being covered by food stamps.

Meanwhile, I can barely afford to feed myself and look like I need a sammich.

Something ain't right here.

Anyone who advocates the food stamps program should be forced to work at a grocery store and actually see what these people are like.

11/11/2008 12:02:15 PM

"these people"

I've known good folks on food stamps
people that were working for AmeriCorps or Marine Corps families

should we cut them off cause a few fat fucks have bad dietary habits and an even worse work ethic?

11/11/2008 12:07:10 PM

Not everyone should be cut off.

But a LOT of people should be.

11/11/2008 12:08:52 PM

i hate when older coworkers call me "kiddo" or "honey" or talk to me like an idiot because im younger than them
im also better at my job than you are so i hope all the shit talk makes you feel better

11/11/2008 12:10:55 PM

when you're forced to laugh at your boss' or superiors jokes when they are soooo bad.

sometimes I'll jam the F out of the copier just for fun....like have to call the technician out jamming, you just copy something and fold the 2nd sheet of paper - shuts the office down for at least a few hours or more.

people who everyday eat at their desk. people don't realize a lunch break is meant for yourself AND the employees around you - they need an hour without you there!

people who eat breakfast at work everyday....not only do they make you hungry as hell when you smell the sausage buscuit heating up, but its gross to hear them slurp their cereal.

obviously the "reply all" or they CC the whole damn department on something so basic.

the obvious talking points like "TGIF", "whats the weather supposed to be like", or anything about the damn stock market going down

Then take your ass out for your own damn lunch break if you want time away from your coworkers.
