We have a woman in my office that commutes to Durham from Greensboro. Whenever the schools in Greensboro have a teacher workday, or her kid is sick, or whatever, she drags her kids in for the entire day. Usually her kids are quiet but I kind of feel bad for them because it has to be boring as hell. Apparently this all came to be when she used to work from home on teacher workdays but then someone else in the office got all pissy that she was getting "special treatment." Now nobody is allowed to work from home

I hear a child's (~2-3 yo) voice echo down the halls

children's laughter


when you're trying to work surf TWW

12/8/2011 9:59:24 AM

12/8/2011 10:00:17 AM

lol at cocoa badger

12/8/2011 10:01:03 AM

lol I get so close to doing that BigMan

12/8/2011 10:01:04 AM

you should challenge that kid to a stippling contest. That'll keep him busy.

12/8/2011 10:01:56 AM

The cocoa badger is beautiful.

12/8/2011 10:02:46 AM

He has highlights in the brown streak too y'all

I mean that's a winning badger right there

12/8/2011 10:03:36 AM

The cocoa badger doesn't just win, that's a motherfucking fatality.

that should give you rights to give this kid an atomic wedgie every time you see him.

12/8/2011 10:04:04 AM

You're completely ignoring the kid's pic

IT'S DARTH HELMUT FOR FUX SAKE

12/8/2011 10:07:05 AM

lol i'm rolling from that cocoa badger!

12/8/2011 10:10:21 AM

Cocoa badger now hangs in my cubicle as a reminder of that awful day

I'm so glad you all agree he's a winner

12/8/2011 10:11:03 AM

Kids are always up in here, its the worst. One of the partners has this punk 6 year old named Lyle who always steals my good pens so I'm left with these piece of shits that dont write. Furthermore, his sister Leslie loves to hide under my desk and scare the shit out of me. I swear to god one day I'm just going to grab them both by their collars and throw them off the balcony.

12/8/2011 10:13:24 AM

You need to start booby trapping your desk.

12/8/2011 10:14:14 AM

i had the impression that most workplaces didn't allow this sort of thing

12/8/2011 10:16:34 AM

We're pretty laid back over here...and the kid only comes in from like 3:30-5 after school is over

I need to photograph my losing entry from yesterday

12/8/2011 10:20:41 AM

can i get a high quality scan of cocoa badger up in here?

12/8/2011 11:02:19 AM

LOL yeah I'll go scan it right now

[Edited on December 8, 2011 at 11:14 AM. Reason : but where do I put it?]

12/8/2011 11:09:07 AM

Most of the kids who come into work are well-behaved

12/8/2011 11:13:52 AM

my officemate's daughter is very cute. I really do not care for kids, but I let her play with these plastic bugs I have in my office... and she can now tell me the scientific name for them.

and then she names them after sponge bob characters and talks to them.

Luckily my work at my desk is pretty dull, so I like to take a break. She is a better officemate then some of the other people in here. My office mates socialize and gossip a lot, that is when I leave and do lab work.

not quite, writing a thesis and running statistics over and over again because you can't figure out why SAS hates you is not that great. But the little girl makes me laugh.

12/8/2011 11:30:06 AM

I have another losing entry This kid loves Star Wars, so I caved and we had a drawing contest. I entered this, and it lost because Yoda isn't wearing the correct colors. No shit...this is Yoda's bitch named Yodette. She likes pink!

2/2/2012 10:32:06 AM

2/2/2012 10:36:44 AM

i like how DB19 capitalizes the first letter of her drawings' names but not her own name

2/2/2012 10:37:24 AM

it varies

I signed the drawing and sent it home with him for his little sister...my name was capitalized then

We need to bring back Terry Tate. He'd smash this kid into the wall and scream "THEY AIN'T YOUR PENS, LYLE! YOU DON'T COME UP IN HERE AND TAKE A MANS PENS!"

2/2/2012 10:41:57 AM

I like DB's handwriting

2/2/2012 10:55:00 AM

[Edited on February 2, 2012 at 10:56 AM. Reason : Cocoa Badaer]

2/2/2012 10:55:53 AM

I should bump the pen pal thread

2/2/2012 11:11:52 AM

Cocoa badger don't care

That's bullshit!! she should be allowed to work from home or take a PTO day.

people that bring their children anywhere in public where they're going to clearly annoy people

Cocoa Badger isn't a total bitch like the Honey Badger. She cares, but only a little bit.

Nice! I don't pay attention to that shit

2/2/2012 5:45:10 PM

lol for some reason i noticed after i read your reply to my thread

2/2/2012 5:51:03 PM

there was a kid in our office like a year ago or something

Maybe 7 or 8 years old. Anyway, he thought that he could just jump on any computer that wasn't being used (like you were away at lunch or in a meeting). Anyway, long story short. He went on some game site that his big brother had told him about and ended up getting a virus.

The person whose computer he used got pretty pissed. But now she knows to sign off her account if he's in the office

Note to self:

If kids are heard anywhere around, password protect the workstation ASAP.

2/2/2012 5:56:36 PM

Note to you dumb motherfuckers:

If you're not alone in an underground bunker on the moon, password protect the workstation ASAP.

2/3/2012 2:29:15 PM

My boss brings his kid in sometimes. He is the most awful child in the world.

2/3/2012 2:32:22 PM

it's against company policy to bring children into our office. sometimes a spouse will pop in with a coworker's kid so people can see them for a hot minute but they're pretty strict about the no kid thing.

2/3/2012 2:37:01 PM

It's true. Any kids in her office over 10 minutes and they're dragged out back and shot in the face.
