The Workplace

Oh and what's up with women wanting the heat turned up in the workplace? It's 77 degrees up in this bitch.

:laughing2

I got a big scare at the office today (which is where I still am and I think I'm about to lose my mind)....

For a couple of hours our company's IT people had a ton of websites on lockdown. I obviously couldn't check my yahoo fantasy baseball team but I also couldn't check my Yahoo email. I couldn't get on the Post's sports page or log onto my second home, The Warpath. I couldn't get onto a client's website since it's a retail store. Basically I couldn't get anywhere, except for espn.com, which was weird.

I can understand the fantasy sports websites and ebay, amazon, etc. but Yahoo email? Our company handbook specifically says it is ok to check person email accounts from company computers as long as it doesn't interfere with work.

Anyway, all back to normal... for now.

LOL...your civil rights have been violated...call the justice department.

LOL...your civil rights have been violated...call the justice department.I know it's not a big deal but this kind of thing really pisses me off. Our company was hit hard because of the economy, just like everyone else, so this is one of those little things that just makes you say "seriously, this is what our corporate office is worried about?"

Did they have a virus scare? Our network has been on shutdown a few times cause some dumbass had a an infected VMWare image and IT couldn't locate it.

Where the heck is my stapler!?!?!?

(I actually DO have someone who swipes my stapler at least twice a month. I always know exactly which office to retrieve it from at least).

WC is a nightmare, claims go on forever, the medical providers are corupt, and the attorneys are ambulance chasers. Spitzer pushed through a lot of legislation before he left but the system still needs a lot of work.

From the side of an injured worker with an UNINSURED employer once that required legal action...I can agree with the nightmare part.

Fortunately for me, my lawyer was a former WC JUDGE, so he was toast from the start. Still took a year to reach a fair settlement for me.

My job is so unbelievable. I'll try to sum it up by first telling you about the folks I work with:

First, there is this supermodel wanna-be chick. Yeah, okay, she is pretty hot, but damn is she completely useless. The girl is constantly fixing her hair or putting on makeup. She is extremely self-centered and has never once considered the needs or wants of anyone but herself. She is as dumb as a box of rocks, and I still find it surprising that she has enough brain power to continue to breathe.

The next chick is completely the opposite. She might even be one of the smartest people on the planet. Her career opportunities are endless, and yet she is here with us. She is a zero on a scale of 1 to 10. I'm not sure she even showers, much less shaves her "womanly" parts. I think she might be a lesbian, because every time we drive by the hardware store, she moans like a cat in heat.

But the jewel of the crowd has got to be the damn stoner. And this guy is more than just your average pothead. In fact, he is baked before he comes to work, during work, and I'm sure after work. He probably hasn't been sober anytime in the last ten years, and he's only 22. He dresses like a beatnik throwback from the 1960's, and to make things worse, he brings his big dog to work. Every day I have to look at this huge Great Dane walk around half-stoned from the second-hand smoke. Hell, sometimes I even think it's trying to talk with its constant bellowing. Also, both of them are constantly hungry, requiring multiple stops to McDonald's and Burger King, every single bloody day.

Anyway, I drive these folks around in my van and we solve mysteries and stuff.



I stole this joke for the record.

I enjoy my job for the most part. The folks I work with are pretty cool. It's a family owned business and we have several special divisions. Mine is the construction side, mostly carpentry and repair work.

The owner is an older guy, pretty short but really knowledgeable and for the most part he stays out our hair until things get really fubar'd. Then he shows up and makes us all look like dummies when he bails us out.

We got this hot chick that works in the office. Blistering hot, blonde hair, wears short skirts everyday. I'm not real sure what she does at work but I do know she's serviced every guy in the company, myself included. She's pretty much the company whore.

We got these two other idiots that work in a different division, one of em sleeps all day at his work station and generally doesn't do a damn thing. He's part of every fubar situation we have here. The other is a damn pessimistic sunuvabitch. He hates everything, just the other day I told him I'd have no problem offing his emo ass with a claw hammer.

Anyways I have to get back fixing all the houses that Gargamel and Azrael fucked up. I hate those guys.

Not as funny as the first and stolen again.

Wait, you've taken her out on dates? :laughing-
