It's always freezing in my office. Think they put a thermostat in here just to tease me.

Ha. The pacer. I've seen some pretty bad cases, like the person walked by so often you wondered how they ever got anything done. I remember forgetting all sense of restraint one time after about the 10th time someone walked by in the space of an hour. I just looked up, glared at them, and said "Really?" as they walked by. Still restrained I guess, but ordinarily I would have ignored it.

It's one thing if you have a bad day and need to visit the restroom a lot, it's entirely another thing if it's the same person, day in day out, walking the Boston marathon in the hallway.

^ That reminds me. The person in the office with the thermostat having a space heater, so their office is nice and toasty while everyone else is freezing because the heat never came on.

When the landscape company comes to blow the leaves around the parking, they get shit all over the cars and everything.

My boss is out today and I have no direction. The task I had to get done takes like an hour tops. So, the other 7 hours have been spent generally dicking around. I'm trying to look busy, but I'm running out of methods.

I've e-mailed my boss (has his work laptop at home) about other things I could be doing. No responses since 9:30 AM.

Start jerking off. They'll leave you alone after they get that eyeful.

Instead of being an actual wall, the part of my office facing the hall is glass and the woman beside me paces the entire day. No naptime for me. FWP

12/14/2010 1:35:41 PM

^^The company is doing construction here so, my desk is in the middle of a main walkway and I have a guy who is sharing a desk with me who sits directly to my left. That'd be really awkward. Maybe if the guy next to me was actually a hot chick or something.

ear plugs, make a big deal about putting them in, basically when he's talking to you sometime just dead stare at him and slowly put them in, staring him down the entire time

When people give the dumbest excuses to get out of work:

- Snowed here yesterday. A guy who lives walking distance away from the plant decides to drive to work to let his boss know he can't come in b/c of the conditions.

- An operator needed to get out of work b/c this person had a toothache but had no teeth.

- Another operator will be coming in 2.5 hours b/c their leg is hurting

Funny but seriously retarded

We have a guy that works here who is basically a waste of space. One particularly annoying attribute of his is that he'll refuse to answer the phone, even if everyone else is already on a line.

Right now it's just him and me in the office. He received a direct call to his line. Rather than answering it he ignored it, so it got transferred to me. I pick it up, of course it's for him, I ask him to take the call, and he huffs like I'm SO inconveniencing him by transferring HIS customer back to him

^meant to put "weather conditions." This is the time when it snowed here in Boykins 2-3 weeks ago.

1/3/2011 4:52:14 PM

^I think the confusion is that you said that he drove to work to say that the weather is too bad to drive to work.

1/3/2011 7:26:13 PM

^correct.

A real bitch when the office is locked down to keycard access only on "holidays"

1/4/2011 11:16:23 AM

when people walk past my office door as i'm trying to shut my eyes for about 10 minutes. DON'T YOU TELL NO ONE!

1/4/2011 11:35:31 AM

Me: "Yes Sir/Ma'am.We can assist you with _____. However, I do not have access to that information myself, but I can get you in touch with a _____specialist who will be more than happy to assist you with ______."
Customer: "Yes, but I really need to know how _____ works and what ____ means."
Me: "Yes Sir/Ma'am. Which is why I'd like to get you in touch with a _____specialist. They actually have access to more information/resources than I do and would be better eqquipped to help you with ____."
Customer: "Well I really just need to know____. It's a very general question."


What I WISH I could say next: "It may be a general question. I may actually know the answer. But sir/ma'am, this is Fidelity Investments, a rediculously huge corporate company with rules and regulations. I am not allowed to address anything outside of my general job discription whether I know the answer or not. And while I would love to answer your question and get you off my damn phone.....I cannot. So please, STFU and let me transfer you. K, Bye!"


Instead, I continue repeating myself until the customer finally gets a clue or until I wear them down.

last week I had to go to Knightdale to show some guys how to wire in some charges.

(which usually isnt bad, but this is in a future sewer tunnel that is 5 ft diameter and about 250 ft crawling to the rock face, which is murder on your back)

we fire the first shot fine, then they say they have got it for the 2nd, at which point I leave

they call me at 8 PM saying they cant get it to go off, so I tell them I will be there in the morning.

I get up at 530 AM, drive up there, climb in the freezing ass tunnel, hook up ONE FUCKING CONNECTION THEY MISSED, go boom, then have to come out and be nice to the customers and all that shit.

There's a basket of candy at my work. It is currently empty

Maybe I'll go to Walmart during my lunch break and buy some clearance Christmas candy to restock it with.

1/6/2011 9:47:39 AM

I despise how a customer will call in to me about their 401k and then proceed to talk over me and interrupt everything I say. If you know every damn thing there is to know about the 401k, why the hell are you calling me?!?!?!

1/6/2011 9:47:54 AM

My coworker who knows everything about everything. Even though it's painfully obvious he doesn't. And then when you correct him on something (because he needs to be corrected on it because he is telling someone the wrong way of doing it) you should probably just be prepared to get the what for.

1/6/2011 9:51:47 AM

This is so bad it's almost funny...

I'm part of QA and our testing of the upcoming release is going... poorly. Every new build we get has a ton of problems and we keep sending it back to dev because the systems are so unstable we can't test the new features (if they're even there). The boss has been asking us to work weekends and today he said the build is testing so poorly that we might as well enjoy our weekend. Then the defect-tracking server went down without warning for maintenance.

So I am in gradschool, just to give a background. And sometimes younger students will come to me and ask me a question that requires me to give a brief 5 to 10 minute answer/lecture chalk talk type stuff to fully do it justice. This is not the problem, this is kind of a part of my responsibility to help out younger students.

However, there is a guy in the lab that will consistently butt into our conversation and wait until I am done answering the question, and blurt out "yeah, that is the way that I always do it" like he fucking knew the whole time.

1/15/2011 1:56:37 PM

The lady in the office across from me cuts her fingernails with her door open like every other day

Is that an acceptable practice? Or is it just annoying because I hate her for other reasons too?

1/17/2011 9:03:25 AM

When you say cut, do you mean cut or clip? Like does she actually use a knife?!

1/17/2011 9:04:06 AM

who cuts their fingernails with a knife?

but yes, clip

1/17/2011 9:09:09 AM

^^^ Ohhh....that "clipping noise" makes my skin crawl. I can't STAND it.

1/17/2011 10:45:44 AM

who clips their nails every 48 hours?

1/17/2011 11:07:38 AM

the bitch across the hall from me

1/17/2011 11:08:56 AM

Had to go to an hour long seminar on HR showing us how the new HR software works... and I'm not HR.

SNOOORE

Guy who sits in the cube across from me always wants to borrow my laptop charger. BRING YOUR OWN FUCKING CHARGER YOU SHITBAG! AND STOP SLURPING YOUR SODA LIKE YOU HITTING A BONG YOU FUCKTARD! imad

1/17/2011 10:17:16 PM

who the fuck thinks its appropriate to clip fingernails at work? Leave personal hygiene tasks at home, and do them there.

1/18/2011 7:07:16 AM

1/18/2011 7:08:18 AM

lol

1/18/2011 7:10:43 AM

it's not like the idea of it grosses me out or anything. if she did it with the door shut, I'd have no problem with it even if I saw it. but it's annoying as hell to actually have to hear it all the time

1/18/2011 8:42:49 AM

Could be worse, at least she isn't using her teeth.

1/18/2011 8:44:39 AM

My boss is stuck in the 80s. He uses a dictaphone which I then have to set up on my desk and work like a sewing machine with a pedal to transcribed his notes, letters, etc. I want to hook him up with dragon speech software but there's no way we could put it on his computer because that's really old too and has the max of 512 mb of RAM
