HerName1011.

There was a spreadsheet of all of the passwords for everything connected to the organization. And then one password without any login or any program/website for it to correspond to, plus there aren't any passwords that are like it. All of our passwords are completely different. SO I tried it and it worked lol

There is a lady near my office with no concept of volume and she has a very whiny voice. She has spent most of the day using speakerphone for conference calls. I can genuinely say I hate her.

Co-worker insists on dialing the phone and letting it ring on speaker, then picking up when they answer on the other end. Annoying as hell, and completely pointless.

The VP of operations has taken an office on the other side the wall of my own office. I hate his voice. I can hear his stupid southern yelling through my wall.

It doesn't truly get fun until you've got people that are in adjacent offices that separately dial in to a conference call, put it on speaker, leave their doors open, and turn the volume all the way up. There's a slight delay and even an echo because they both have it so loud that it gets picked up by the other person's mic.

I don't see how anyone even understands each other when they get that echo effect in full swing, let alone how they don't buy a clue and either share an office, mute their mic, or shut their doors.

Coworker asks me to keep an eye on his process for a minute...later find out he went to go play a few games of ping pong for about 30 minutes. That and the other guys my level constantly use their lunch break to play games and then eat at their desk, which our bosses have previously had problems with. I, on the other hand, am here to work so I eat at my desk then get back to work. A few months ago it was an hour of baketball at lunch, then they would get back to work all sweaty and shit.

Now they're starting to take the final 30 minutes of the day when the bosses are gone to play ping pong. Shit is getting annoying since I'm putting in more work than they are.

Its called a lunch break for a reason. They know whats up. You're the sucker for doing their work and eating at your desk.

While true, they're chronically going over the break. I do go home or go dick around on my computer when eating at my desk, but now they are extending their one hour break to 2 hours or more a day

^^Seems like they should plan around their processses a little better. Also, I find it strange your company keeps buying toys for them to play with and then gets mad about it. ITS A TRAP!!!!

^he knows how to have fun during his break and still be back in time.

My coworker who I truly love gets calls from her 26 year old daughter on the reg..

Today it's about having a cookout this weekend and her daughter doesn't know what to buy to make hamburgers.

The daughter was crying and having a mental break down because she wasn't sure.

Hmmm

We let our receptionist go about 2 years ago and since then we all rotate working at the front desk.

There is one lady here that has the worst smelling breath and I always seem to work at hte front desk after her. The phone smells like her bad breath

The group of moms that take their kids to the preschool where I work, who I also babysit for, are the most paranoid, gossipy women I have ever met.

I actually did take a real break yesterday and played some ping pong...then a boss saw me hanging out with the other coworkers and asked if I had finished this project I was working all morning on.

Now I get to volunteer my lunch break to work with the CEO on some secret project off-site. Fortunately its actually pretty interesting and I'll get paid for time if it works out later.

I think at most offices that's code for strippers and blow with the boss.

I work with a serious raging workaholic. This guy has no life and is starting to ruin mine. He failed to correctly plan moving our application to a new server and I had to work over 100 hours last week. I came in at 11am on Sunday and worked all the way through the night until 3pm on Monday.

Every time this guy walks into the office, a feeling of anger just sweeps over me. I think I may need to start looking for a new job at this point. Yesterday he told me that his wife cheated on him because he works too much. What the fuck is the point of living if all you do is work? What is the fucking point?????????

Do you ever have to check yourself when someone sends an email out they think is funny and it includes a meme you've seen a million times?

People who claim to have 130, 140, 150+ IQ's (most likely based off one of those online IQ tests they took) but are either very slow or do sloppy work full of mistakes.

lady at work has all these conspiracy theory type conversations with me

today it was M&M/Mars and Hershey's. Apparently they now make their candies in Mexico and are tainted with rats and hair.

I just said maybe we need to start looking at the taxes and costs companies incur by staying in the US. She said NO NO NO THE HEALTH REGULATIONS ARE WHY THEY LEAVE!!!

There is a magnet on the dishwasher. It says CLEAN on the top half and DIRTY upside-down on the bottom. The idea is that you rotate the magnet to indicate whether the dishes inside are clean.

Some dumb motherfucker is forever starting the dishwasher and setting the magnet in the middle. Motherfucker, the dishes are not in some transitional state. No one is gonna open the dishwasher when it's locked and running. When that fucking thing stops, the dishes will be clean, so put the magnet on fucking CLEAN. Anything else is DIRTY. Fuckin' A.

User error on main campus caused a bunch of people's card access to get inadvertently revoked. Considering most of the doors and all of the elevators are on the card system--not good. Thankfully mine was not one of them, but there've been a lot of people loitering around doors and elevators today waiting for someone with a working card.

Ugh there is a girl at work who thinks she's the hottest/cutest/awesomest person to ever live. Worst example of engineering girl syndrome I've ever seen in my entire life. She lives for attention and if a conversation isn't about her she tries to steer it towards her. I mostly just ignore her comments about how cool she is but jeez it's like every guy here is constantly drooling over her and supporting every single thing she says. I can't be the only person here who gets annoyed by this.

This dude got asked a very simple task to see if we could pursue a proposal, and instead he spent all morning researching why or how he could avoid doing it. Really, guy? The wikipedia article you referenced says at the very end the exact method I said you could use to get a general idea of whether or not this would be feasible. Whatever, I have enough on my plate not to worry about this.

These UNCC engineers are a little off sometimes.

Everyone does, they're just smart enough to find the original source material for the article, not link to the actual wikipedia entry.

Just like college!

I can't stand it when people ask me to do things at work. I show up everyday to eat the free snacks, and drink the freshly brewed coffee, as I sit in a soft chair to browse the internets. These people are slave drivers.

not an annoyance, but euphemisms are abundant this morning.

i feel so juvenile for laughing at someone having a slip in our meeting when saying "master data"

related: i just named this project "ball and shaft material change"

because, well, i'm replacing the balls and shafts on a bunch of control valves.

yes, i could call it a stem, but shaft is an acceptable term and ball and stem just isn't as blatant.
