Nobody really taught me how to use the phone system, and I have no idea how to forward this voicemail to someone else.

3/12/2008 8:49:27 AM

3/12/2008 8:50:07 AM

Altigen. I know I have a manual for it somewhere.

[Edited on March 12, 2008 at 8:55 AM. Reason : Well, I found it, but it doesn't say anything about how to do it... ]

1. SalesLogix
2. Lotus Notes
3. "Custom" phone system


going from a large public company to a small private firm is rough.

I hardly know shit about computers but around here I'm the 'expert'

Dude just got an external hard drive and there were like 4 people huddled around his computer trying to get it to work

I plug in the usb and they look at me like I'm some kind of wizard

i hate that teachers 1) dont know how to use the laser printer yet continue to fuck it up & 2) allow their children to use the laser printer unsupervised

3/12/2008 8:42:01 PM

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

Happens with people and the urinals here too often. I was in a stall once just idling between drops and i hear someone come in, piss, and then leave. Not even a half-hearted attempt to flush. What the fuck, man? I almost called out to tell him to flush, but didnt want to risk someone above me recognizing my voice.

When the development team in sweden rejects error reports because they dont want to work/look bad and use any and all tiddly errors in the report to reject it.

the other bagger who smokes pot in the back room every 20 minutes or so. i don't care about him smoking thats easy enough to fix with a call to the cops. its the fact i had to bag 3 registers alone during prime time that made me mad

3/17/2008 1:07:05 PM

the guy who walks out the door right by my cube to smoke every 42 minutes on the dot...then wafts the smokey air back in the bldg towards me

3/17/2008 1:10:51 PM

oh god

calling a coworker by their secret nick name

i called james, milton (like from office space). we've been calling him that before he even started here in january.

oops

3/18/2008 7:25:08 AM

he's gonna take your stapler and burn that place to the ground.

3/18/2008 8:00:56 AM

we seriously considered ordering him a red stapler before he got here, but they were all really expensive lol

3/18/2008 8:03:10 AM

just get a regular one and paint it red.

lol

3/18/2008 8:08:19 AM

Twelve pages of this sad shit. Most of it be shit you wouldn't even have to be putting up with if you had the guts to say something to the people bothering you.

3/18/2008 8:12:15 AM

How did you know he was like Milton before he started working there?

3/18/2008 9:16:25 AM

is it really THAT hard to hit the trashcan with your empty sugar packets???

3/18/2008 9:18:52 AM

yes

working

3/18/2008 9:21:47 AM

Boss in meeting: "I've been working for the last two weeks on this report.."
me thinking: "uh, no, I did that report..you just took credit"

3/18/2008 9:23:17 AM

My day is a constant struggle to maintain a comfortable temperature because they keep it so cold in here, though apparently the people on the other side of the building are always hot.

So in general it's get cold, turn on heater, get stuffy, turn it off, feel really comfortable for 3 minutes, freeze again, repeat.

3/18/2008 9:23:23 AM

i thought ^ was just a girl thing

3/18/2008 9:35:10 AM

I'd say being consistently cold is a girl thing. But not the cycle of cold, hot, cold, comfortable, hot.

And usually I like it colder than most women.

[Edited on March 18, 2008 at 9:39 AM. Reason : Most women here have their heater on all day]

3/18/2008 9:39:21 AM

Shouldn't it be their heaters?

3/18/2008 10:41:33 AM

Not if it's one heater they collectively possess.

3/18/2008 10:42:41 AM

I'm thinking they each have their own mini space heater or something.

3/18/2008 10:43:17 AM

those motherfucking women who come in to the office wearing a nice shirt, a skirt and a pair of goddamn dirty ass tennis shoes.

3/18/2008 10:45:03 AM

Don't you mean their own mini space heaters?

3/18/2008 10:45:22 AM

no

3/18/2008 10:49:10 AM

...

3/18/2008 10:49:39 AM

They don't each have multiple spaces heaters.

3/18/2008 10:50:11 AM

You suck at parallelism. Should be each has her own mini space heater.

3/18/2008 10:51:50 AM

What's wrong with using they each have their own <singular item>

3/18/2008 10:58:43 AM

They each is just redundant is all.

3/18/2008 11:00:10 AM

is just redundant is all

3/18/2008 11:01:39 AM

How so?

3/18/2008 11:01:43 AM

It's not redundant. It's grammatically wrong.

[Edited on March 18, 2008 at 1:05 PM. Reason : so yes, I was wrong, but I treat TWW like conversation]

3/18/2008 1:04:52 PM

So you write AND speak poorly?

3/18/2008 1:15:01 PM

I think it's OK to use number error in speech (and every editing teacher I've ever had does it). And I write on TWW like I speak, at least for most things.

3/18/2008 1:17:55 PM

wut

3/18/2008 1:18:46 PM

so i wonder how much grammer nazis get paid these days...

3/18/2008 1:20:30 PM

No soap again...and I work with million dollar making motherfuckers !

I have to put on my maid pants and run to target now

3/18/2008 1:21:13 PM
