Why is the printer always making 400 copies of something when I need to print off 2 pages. #firstworldproblems

It feels like everything that I'm able to do gets done in 0-36 hours. Every step that involves someone else takes between 4 hours and 6 weeks.

so alone

is there any way to get coworkers to stop including you on chain emails/memes they forward that are as old as the internet? they send them out then chit chat (outloud, big open room) about how hilarious they are right after they email them. i guess i just should just let them be happy but it wasn't funny to begin with.

2/15/2012 2:36:11 PM

^x5 I hate it when I accidentally print something only to realize it was on a 200 page job and have to sift through the damn papers to find mine.

2/15/2012 2:45:15 PM

All our print jobs are separated with bright green paper.

If you are eating lunch in the lunch room, please chew with your mouth closed. I don't want to see all your half-masticated food and hear gross smacking noises.

They just blocked access to Netflix

How am I supposed to catch up on my Veronica Mars or Star Trek DS9 while i'm on the clock now?

2/21/2012 11:22:07 AM

omg that would be the death of me!!!

Thank god I'm in charge of our network

1) Email subject. Use an appropriate subject for the email. And don't reply to an old email for a new topic. Is it really that hard to start a new email? It's a pain to find your cryptically named emails or improperly named emails.

2) Email body. Proofread it. Don't send me horrible grammar and a poorly worded mess. All I'm going to do is email you back and ask for clarification because 1) I can't understand your garbage 2) I don't like to assume that I know what you're talking about because that often creates more work for the both of us or 3) Just to waste more of your time.

3) Temperature. Yes, it's 30 degrees in the morning. Yes, it's 70 in the afternoon. We don't need to have the heat blasting. Set it on 65 and be done with it.

2/21/2012 3:11:47 PM

4) Why do we insist on over-nighting a 50 page report when I could email it much more easily and quickly. The guy has a printer... baffles me.

I just started season five of Doctor Who! Never mind all the educational uses...

2/23/2012 4:59:10 PM

That is right. If you can't keep track of your own emails and ask me to re-send shit constantly, I WILL just reply to the damn thread with "bttt" and nobody will know where I got it from.

I'm Krallum and I approved this message.

Coworker: "What did you use to make this newletter?"
Me: "Word."
Coworker: "Not Publisher?"
Me: "Nope, Word."
Coworker: "Really, because it looks like you used Publisher."

Yeah you got me, I'm totally lying about what program I used to make a stupid two page newsletter.

Don't spend all your time in my class sleeping, chatting, tweeting, and messaging and then get all concerned that the online gradebook isn't up to date.

3/1/2012 10:09:00 AM

I'm not avoiding the traffic.
It's the team.
I get in at 730am and leave at 6pm every day because the majority of my work gets done between 730am and 9am, and between 5pm and 6pm.

3/2/2012 7:55:26 AM

We have someone here from overseas to do some research or something. She was to fly in last Friday but her connecting flight from DC got canceled.

Somehow it's my office's fault that

a) The weather was shit, causing her flight to get canceled.
b) That United didn't get her into RDU until 3am
c) That the hotel didn't have anyone manning the desk at 3am so she couldn't check into her hotel.

And now I'm having to play damage control to kiss this person's ass about all of this

3/5/2012 10:52:00 AM

The woman in the cube next to me is definitely Nina from Office Space.

She isn't fat and ugly, but she answers the phone the same way, every single time.

Due to my coworkers' kids, I've had to come in early and leave late. Fucking kids. >_>

3/6/2012 5:53:12 PM

More embarassing then annoying, but I was pissed at my salad earlier since it had cucumbers in it (after I specifically asked for NO FUCKING CUCUMBERS) so I Blake Griffin'd it in the trash can and carrots and lettuce bits and dressing splattered on the wall behind it. I was going to clean it but got distracted, and just a few mins ago I see the cleaning lady on her hands and knees cleaning it up. I would've apologized profusely if she spoke a word of English, but I just gave her a solemn head nod and kept walking. Kinda feel like an asshole, but what else is new.

3/6/2012 7:49:05 PM

Fui a trabajar esta tarde, y cuando fui a cambiar la bolsa de basura en el bote de basura, me di cuenta de que algún idiota había conseguido aderezos para ensaladas, y trozos de ensalada de toda la pared y la pérdida de sus pepinos. Mientras lo estaba limpiando, que pasaba, y me miró. Yo sabía que era él, porque él tenía la culpa en el rostro.

I hate listening to my boss constantly bitch about having to fire people because "good help is hard to find." No it isn't, asshole. Stop hiring the most blatantly worthless pieces of shit and they may actually perform decent work.

The 3 hour conference call I am currently on

3/7/2012 11:49:38 AM

^^ Story of my life right now.

Also, I hate when you have to go to a conference and in one time block there's tons of workshops you want to go to at the same time, and in the next time block there's jack shit you want to go to.

3/7/2012 1:23:53 PM

No I am not a technician and I don't give a fuck about your facetime or text messages.

Coworker is all the time trying new diet fads

today she's eating steamed brussel sprouts and they smell so bad

I like brussel sprouts too, but these smell awful!

3/7/2012 2:07:39 PM

Yeah brussel sprouts aren't the sort of thing I eat for work lunch.

3/7/2012 2:08:17 PM

gross. I had a coworker who ate garlic and cabbage for a week. I'm not sure which smells worse. Reheated brussel sprouts, or garlic and cabbage.

3/7/2012 2:08:32 PM

I like the smell of garlic. I would much prefer if all my coworkers ate garlic every day instead of smelly junk they typically eat.

3/7/2012 2:09:31 PM

oh she was on one diet that had her eating fish with garlic and onions

she made the entire place smell so bad that people were getting on to her for it....she finally took it to the breakroom

3/7/2012 2:09:39 PM

^^Garlic is great, until a person smells like garlic 24/7 and it's oozing out of their pores basically.

3/7/2012 2:13:46 PM

another day of waiting on an autocad license to come available. shit is getting old and is easily correctable... I might as well just head home.

Garlic and Brussel Sprouts can cause the worse gas in some people...

good luck to the folks who have to work in close proximity to them

3/7/2012 2:20:16 PM

I really wish people would understand that perfume and cologne are in tiny bottles for a reason, you need a very very very tiny bit.

it smells like a toxic dump.

having to redesign equipment & conveyor layout simply because the estimator failed at:

- scaling/stretching/etc. a detailed elevation
- miraculosly changing dimensions between views
- drawing equipment as 'rectangles' and leaving me with a physically impossible conveyor layout.

so now I hvae to be the asshole who breaks it to the customer that some of their shit will be shuffled around because the estimator failed (luckily this employee is no longer with us)

3/7/2012 2:36:02 PM

god damn
the teacher using my classroom during my planning period has allergies
and she is one of those people who literally SCREAMS when she sneezes
so fucking annoying
