that's a lot more purpose than me sitting on the damn wolf web

^also, that annoys me too. one of the higher ups here has zero ownership in the company but always refers to everything as his.. "my plant", "my building", "my money", etc.. he does it to the point that all of his friends actually think he owns the place.

was pretty funny once when one of his friend came in asking for the owner and the receptionist (owners daughter) said the owner wasn't there.. he said oh, [guys name] isnt here? and they told him how that guy isn't in any way an owner and just works there

Stories from the Weekend, as told by the most unengaging coworker

3/15/2010 8:31:57 AM

YEAH WE SEALED THE DECK THIS WEEKEND

SINCE IT WAS SO NICE OUT, YOU KNOW

I MIGHT GRILL IF IT KEEPS UP

3/15/2010 8:38:30 AM

When asked about my weekend at work, I like to recap our Sunday D&D session in one breath, just a fat run-on sentence.

Well, the party got waylaid in this town called Crest by a magical storm, and God damn it wouldn't you know the winds broke the ship's mast, but the mayor offered us a discount on repairing it if we'd take care of the Sapphire Witch—whom, by the way, he blamed for the storm in the first place—so we checked out the ruined keep atop the cliff formerly belonging to Lord Crest, presumed dead at the Sapphire Witch's hands, but wouldn't you know it came out that Lord Crest had a hand in fathering the Sapphire Witch with a witch called Maribelle—who, by the way, is apparently half demon or something, so that's a whole other...thing....

I am in the middle of a supervisor shit sandwich . . one interim supervisor has ZERO sense of urgency and the other interim supervisor gets completely and utterly hysterical and overly emotional. I'm not really sure what's worse. I'd rather not have ANY interims and just be the only functioning supervisor for all the goddamn facilities.

3/15/2010 9:06:29 AM

OHO I DON'T EVEN WANNA THINK ABOUT HOW MUCH OF OUR LIVES IS SPENT ON HOLD

BOY, THOSE CRAZY BANALITIES OF BUSINESS AM I RIGHT

3/16/2010 1:37:34 PM

This is a really important meeting that you really shouldn't be late for

Ah yeah, I hate that kinda crap. People schedule meetings at times I'm not supposed to be here all the time. And they are ALWAYS meetings that I have to attend.

3/18/2010 11:16:36 AM

please keep volunteering me for things that i don't have time for.

One of the ladies has a voice recording of her kid as the ring tone on her cell phone. Of course she leaves it on at full volume while away from her desk for long periods of time. Everyday there is several minutes of " Mommy! Answer the phone. Your phone is ringing. Mommy! Answer the phone. Your phone is ringing..." over and over in whiney kid voice.

I would be tempted to "borrow" it one day, run to the bathroom and record a message with a voice distortion thingy-ma-bob saying "TURN THE RINGER TO VIBRATE, TAKE YOUR PHONE WITH YOU WHEN YOU LEAVE THE DESK, OR WE MAY HAVE TO HURT YOUUUUUU"

3/29/2010 9:21:52 PM

My boss has a cold. A flu. A sore throat and a cough.

Call it what you like, but he's sitting there at his desk (6 feet diagonally across from me) and he's typing an email (both hands on the keyboard) and COUGHING every 30 seconds or so. And he's not covering his mouth.

Jesus Christ man.

DUDE my coworker has the same thing. Every single day its "MOM PICK UP THE PHONE. ITS YOUR FAVORITE DAUGHTER CALLING. MOMMMMMMMM MOMMMMMY MOMMMMM"

3/30/2010 12:40:50 PM

^SAME HERE!

OMG

I wonder if it's the same god damned ringtone

"MOMMY ANSWER THE PHONE! MOMMY ANSWER THE PHONE! MOMMY ANSWER THE PHONE!"

3/30/2010 12:41:51 PM

haha why would parents want to hear their kids whining their name when they call...don't get they it enough when they are together...

If I asked my mom to do that she would be like "fuck no! I don't wann have to hear you more than I have to"

3/30/2010 12:43:26 PM

my coworker got her ringtone online


its not her daughter's voice.

3/30/2010 12:44:03 PM

my coworker got her ringtone online


its not her daughter's son's voice.

3/30/2010 12:45:02 PM

even if it isn't your kids voice...I would get so tired of hearing my kid yelling "moooom MoooooooM MOOOOOOOOM!!!" I would not want a ring tone doing that everytime my kid called.

3/30/2010 12:45:17 PM

terrible music ringtones aren't really much better. it's also a nice touch when they get progressively louder as they go unanswered.

3/30/2010 3:56:23 PM

I would definitely say something

Why would you not?

3/30/2010 4:00:46 PM

ha ha, glad i'm not alone on that.

^its a first world problem, nothing to make waves about.

3/30/2010 7:15:00 PM

put her phone in jello

3/30/2010 7:29:19 PM

people running the microwave and yelling in the hall while i am trying to watch the 70-min version of the phantom menace

4/5/2010 2:12:53 PM

people who use the last spoon, plate, bottle of water, roll of toilet paper, etc and don't restock. it's fine if we don't have more but be a decent human being and put more out, lazy ass motherfuckers.

don't use the last of the toilet paper, get out a new roll, and leave it sitting on the handicapped rail with the old tp tube still on the holder thingy.

4/5/2010 2:15:36 PM

the owners 5 damn yap yap dogs going nuts 8 times during a conference call.

4/7/2010 3:13:51 PM

my boss sits across from me.

instead of discussing needing a project done from me, she sends me an email. words work too people.

4/7/2010 3:23:07 PM

perhaps she wants her request documented

4/7/2010 3:57:36 PM

^^yeah, she's documenting when she asked you to do something

4/7/2010 4:12:30 PM

which is a smidge annoying. there haven't been issues of me not getting things done in a timely manner (with the exception of one time). and then when i email her a question because her request was vague - she doesn't answer me. so if we were able to have a conversation about it - it'd be able to be done quicker.

4/7/2010 4:13:48 PM

yeah, your gonna get fired....she must of told you in the past and you have screwed up so much that now she is forced to document it so the company can eventually fire you.

4/7/2010 4:17:31 PM

Kind regards,

4/8/2010 2:56:21 PM

Corporate Outing at a Bon Jovi show next week, cool

Corporate Outing at a Bon Jovi show next week on the same night as the NFL draft, not cool

4/13/2010 2:25:15 PM

okay, i didn't take sick leave. i'm still here

4/13/2010 2:29:29 PM

Someone cooked garlic bread every morning for the past two weeks, so the whole building smelt like garlic. I guess someone has a Sam's Club membership and is now sitting on a 80lbs. box of frozen garlic bread.

I was fine with it the first week an a half, now the smell is starting to make me sick. Wouldn't be so bad if it weren't every day.

4/14/2010 12:10:13 PM

I hate when people talk on the phone in a public bathroom while they're peeing. It's just gross.

4/14/2010 12:29:16 PM

haha this guy in our meeting keeps starting thoughts and stopping them and he is confusing the shit out of us.

4/16/2010 11:48:46 AM

is he high?

4/16/2010 11:49:33 AM

loud woman down the hall cackling...

my office door is shut and i still here her clambering on

sounds like a horny wookie

4/16/2010 11:49:44 AM

^^ i don't think he is... i think this is how he "functions"

4/16/2010 11:50:59 AM

constant ice crunching, eating really hard pretzels, hard cereal, hard candy...all from the same person. STOP IT

4/19/2010 3:50:37 PM

smack it out of their hand and say STOP IT
