Tin of Christmas popcorn that refills itself weekly, a sign over the coffee pot that was Terry Tate, office linebacker pointing at you screaming "YOU KILL THE JOE, YOU MAKE SOME MO'!" One of the guys in the office that's in the work fantasy league and won it last year has the legitly 2.5' tall trophy front and center on his desk, (it's also a traveling trophy in it's 8th year). Also we like peanuts in my part of the the office and the boss always keeps it stocked with peanut, and then he also treats that part of the office floor like it's Texas Roadhouse or something cause by the end of the day it's littered with peanut shells.

Not really hilarious like a trophy or a couch, but it's kind of gross. A fellow coworker came up to me and told me he was in the bathroom and some dude went into the stall and stood next to him and jacked off. Like, to completion while my coworker was taking a crap in the next stall. I had some suspicions about who it was and then I was taking a crap and something kind of similar happened to me. It was the guy I suspected but I'm not sure he was jacking off. I'm guessing he has a medical condition, like a colonostomy bag or an open wound that he has to tend to? I heard paper tearing and maybe lotion being applied. I still got the hell out of there as quickly as I could. And yes it was the guy I suspected it was but I am not real sure how to proceed.

I would just roll with the assumption that it is a medical condition, because I would probably not be able to work there anymore if I went with the masturbation theory.

Who can do it once? It was multiple days. Coworker, then me, then coworker again came to me right after it happened saying, "IT HAPPENED AGAIN JUST NOW!!!"

You aren't reading the sign properly. The sign is saying that you have to sit down to pee in the toilet. It's not saying you can only use the toilet to poop. It's actually a pretty awesome sign. I would like one to anonymously put in my office bathroom, not because I really care, but because it's hilarious.

I'm guessing it's more about piss all over the toilet. I think it's a worthy cause.

tangent: I hate it when I go to the bathroom and there's piss all over, but I know someone's waiting. I'm not going to clean it up, but if I was the person waiting, I would just assume it was the guy that just left the bathroom that pissed all over the place.

I know the special needs teacher at the local HS.  He tells me that many of the HS special needs kids have, as a component to their Individual Learning Plan thingy, that they have to be allowed time to whack it in the bathroom.  Like more than once, daily.

What I am saying is that maybe he is high functioning austistic or something?

WTF

Ppl w strong enough feelings towards meaningless things are the best.  I mean, some took the time to make a sign because they had to hold in a crap for 1 extra min one day.

I would like one to anonymously put in my office bathroom, not because I really care, but because it's hilarious.

I already printed it out and put it up in the bathroom.  Will it get taken down?   :dunno:  Probably not at my office.

I'm guessing it's more about piss all over the toilet. I think it's a worthy cause.

tangent: I hate it when I go to the bathroom and there's piss all over, but I know someone's waiting. I'm not going to clean it up, but if I was the person waiting, I would just assume it was the guy that just left the bathroom that pissed all over the place.

That plus errant pubes.  Nothing worse than someone else thinking you just shed your bush all over the office restroom when you didn't.

A couple months ago after a long meeting the guy next to me stood up to leave and took one step and hit the floor really really hard right on his shoulder.  Turns out his foot had fallen asleep during the meeting.  Was hilarious.  Hurt his shoulder pretty bad though.

Ok so one up my coworkers put up these easter window sticker gummies things about two years ago. In that time it was vandalized with permament marker facial features then served as flypaper catching and killing all the fruit flies that infested my potted bamboo plant. Now the whole thing is decomposing and sagging/melting/dripping down my window.

At a previous job where I was OP manager which included HR duty, I had a gal who returned from maternity leave and would wear appropriate business dress attire but she was constantly nipped out.  One of her nosey PITA co-workers (always in everyone else's business) came to me and asked if I could tell Nips that she is offending other people in the office.  I told her "NO!". She then asked if she could take up a collection to buy Nips a padded bra and anonymously leave it on her desk for a hint.  I've never had a better day than when I got to fire PITA.

I walked in on the old man who was the founder and prez of a steel company we shared the floor with, attempting to crap in the urinal. When I walked in he said... "Oh, I can't do this here." and went into one of the stalls (pants still down).

He was really rough ridin' senile so it was more sad than funny at the time.  But now, I think it's funny as crap so I posted it in this thread.

I'm a little late on this but here you go.  So one Friday back in September a few of us went to BWW for some delicious bone in wings.  There was a guy there doing the blazin challenge.  We then decided that we should have our own Buffalo Wild Wings Blazin challenge at work, but with unlimited wings.  Contest was how many bone in wings you could eat in 20 minutes.  The winner ate 31.  It's also important to note that while people decided to dress up in costumes, it was not Halloween.  Sometimes people here just like to dress up in weird things.


We bought 30 dozen wings and ran out.

our accountant has her volume up 100% 24/7 and it is some awful jason mraz song and she just lets it ring all the way through. going on 3 years now that she's had that ringtone and her stupid kids call her all the time and when she doesn't want to answer, she just lets it ring. full volume. entire office just looks around and shakes their respective heads. the worst

We had a technology sub-contractor on a long-term project who was really strange.  He had an old flip phone, and his ring-tone was some freaking love song, but in that weird 8-bit flip phone unsophisticated type music.

He seemingly refused to ever use vibrate, even after we would drop like a million hints and comments about using vibrate.

The worst part of this is that dumbass had it set to play his full ring tone on text messages, not just calls.  So every rough ridin' text this bad person received play this long elaborate love song, in that old timey 8-bit flip phone style. 



The other really strange thing he would do was carry around pictures of his 60's something camaro.  He'd bust them out at Mexican restaurants on work lunches and show them to waiters, but never waitresses, and never to gringo's.  Only Mexican men.  If he found himself without his pictures, he'd strike up a conversation about cars with the waiter, and always in Spanish.  Again, never to white waiters.  It was his go-to pick-up move, and it must have worked a fair bit, because he did it all the time. 



His contract wasn't renewed by the client, and he claimed it was because they were racist against latinos (he was like vaguely latino...like maybe one grand parent was latino or something.)  The sad, but also kinda funny part was that while the client was not racist at all, they were really bigoted and didn't like gay people.  I was like "You are getting warmer" when he'd talk about them being racist....didn't have the heart/courage to tell him "bro, it's because you are gay."   :frown:

Oh, and while we are talking about strange phone behavior at the work place, we had this old guy who had obviously just got a new Droid phone, because every single text message he received played that robot voice "DDDDDDDRRRRRRRROOOOOOOOIIIIIIIIIIDDDDDDD" word every single rough ridin' time he received a text message (10-20 times a day).

One of the other really horrible things about Camaro guy was that he would do the over-the-top spanish accent on words that weren't really spanish.

Like lemonade.  He would order leeeeeeeemonda.  Like the waiter would have no idea what he wanted if he just rough ridin' said "Lemonade, please."

And, he would repeat words back to you, I guess to correct your pronunciation on them.  But again, on words that you really didn't need to pronounce in spanish.  There was this one restaurant that was called Lola's, and he would repeat that back after you said it, as if he were correcting your accent....I mean, there is really one way to pronounce that rough ridin' word.

Semi-interesting coworker phone story:

Went to a conference with a group from work and we were in a session listening to a speaker with about 2 hundred or so other people, and one of my coworkers is texting and every time he gets a text it makes a sound like peeling out tires.  And its really loud and everyone is staring.  So I say "hey why don't you put that on silent" and he says "I don't think you can for texts" and I said "ya you can" and then I put it on silent for him. The end.

Purchasing Dept where I work has one of those dry erase calendar things hanging in a public area.  Everyone is supposed to put their vacation days on it.  Everyone uses their name followed by "off" on the days they are going to be out.  This includes the guy named Jack.

reminds me of the time we stopped at a gas station in texahoma on the way to the fiesta bowl. 8mp took one look at the bathroom and ran back out to the car. he spent 5 minutes trying to figure out how someone could do that before giving up and declaring that it wasn't possible for a single person to spray so much crap.

At my old job, an older guy worked for me.  He was just generally loud/obnoxous/kind of gross...anyway, he has a son that was horrible; 30 ish, loser. They would get in screaming matches over the phone frequently during work, much of the office could hear.  So, I tried to be polite, and sent him an email during one particularly long call asking him if he could maybe take calls like that on his personal phone outside or in the breakroom.  I thought he got the hint, however, shortly after hanging up with his son, and he'd gotten my message and I think even replied, saying he was sorry and that "David is just a dumbass" he calls up his wife and lets her know that he just got in trouble for yelling at their son during work. He is generally a loud speaker, so everyone also heard that...

Not funny, but the lady in the next office is always on the phone with or having her very trashy family in during lunch. They are always having some sort of legal troubles they are trying to hash out.

Today, one of her nieces was in there talking about how one of her baby daddys wanted full custody, and she signed some papers that she thought didn't give him custody, but did. But then some friend told her she should deny she signed it. I can't keep up, and I don't care. But you should hear the conversation. It is like a bunch of idiots trying to make legal plans that are destined to fail. :chainsaw:

How's everyones day?", "Jesus, stop it, " :facepalm: ", "stop", so on and so on.

Then this rough ridin' guy throws this wammy in there:

My last day with the company is tomorrow, therefore, I will most likely not be completing this training. I will be listing “email etiquette” as the second reason for my departure.

Largeish-not mangino-large but hefty,  dress pants, blazer, with a cartoon tie (like bugs and daffy with a wood sledge hammer), long gray hair in a pony with a gray 'stasch, not too crazy right?

well he brings his lunch in a small pink striped victoria secret bag... :sdeek:

I was too dumbfounded at the time to be tactful enough to ask about his motives without possibly offending him.  He wasn't some huge fan of theirs, yet seeing them was apparently the only focus of the trip rather than part of some scheme to go party in New Orleans or have fun on the road or whatever.  I will follow up tomorrow.

If you offered me $100 to walk across the street from my house to see a Widespread Panic concert, I would tell you "no," and I'd call the cops to shut down that concert.

If I wanted to hear a piece of crap replica of the Alman Brothers and Dead, I'd just listen to them, and not listen to those assholes.  I do not like songs that last 30 minutes.   Nor do most human beings on the face of the planet.

Apparently one of them hooked up with a guy for the first time last night and not only did this guy not know what he was doing, but he also had a really small package. Apparently this guy has to walk the plank now and now all the girls feel like they should share their awful experiences and all the small weiners they have seen. They're using awkward analogies too... "Like, I've seen a movie before and thought it was bad, but I went back to rewatch it again and i found a place where I could enjoy it" etc.

My First Day:

Heyyyy guys!

Well, today was my very first day. I was originally told that I would be going to a client site today but unfortunately, that does not begin until Wednesday so I am stuck in the office for another day. I originally thought that I would be doing absolutely nothing but stare into space for eight hours but I was wrong. That would have been more worth my while than what I did. I did jack crap. Jack. crap.

I stepped in the office at 9 am and stared into the abyss for a good solid hour before I even attempted to do anything. I let the emails roll in with zero care in the entire world. About an hour into the day, I thought it would be a wise career move to maybe check them. Nope. I was assigned the task of looking up 2300 client year ends and putting them in a spreadsheet. The title of this assignment was "Postcards!!!" (email title from my manager. Exclamation points were seriously over-utilized and my superior was a little overzealous).

Now you guys have known me long enough that concepts understood by 10-12 year olds might go over my head so of course I had a question. I wandered around the office for a solid 10 minutes trying to find this woman so she could give me guidance on this mindless and meaningless task. She was nowhere to be found. This confused me even more so I needed a mental timeout. After 30 minutes of sitting on my ass, I decided to wing it. (Manager wasn't in the office...found this out after I wandered around the office like an idiot). I hope I did this simple assignment right but if I didn't, I don't think anyone will care because only the worst "Postcards!!!" have fiscal year ends on them. What a shitty postcard.

Lunch time was awesome because it was paid for by the company and it took 90 minutes.

I hope to hear from all of you soon!

i stumbled on a gold mine today. here's another one. disclaimer, i changed the names and company info (most of it anyway)

Quote
My First Engagement:
What's up fuckazZzZz!

OK, so I meant to send you guys an email about my very first day on my very first engagement but crap got out of control last night. I ended up hitting the bar with a potential roommate (yes, I might be moving out of the shed) then I ended up getting real drunk in the shed. Embarrassing, yes. Fun, kinda? Anyway, that's my embarrassing/alcoholic reason as to why I did not reach out and network with my peers.

Back to the engagement. Guys, if you thought I was in over my head after orientation, you should see me now. I am just comically unprepared and hilariously incompetent. The worst part is, it is only TWO of us at the client site. TWO! Do you know what that means? It is me and some poor senior who fields my stupid rough ridin' questions at least every two minutes. Company XYZ really crap the bed on this one. How do you assign one senior to possibly one of the worst auditors this side of the Mississippi?? I need a sit down with someone Dave Alexander to explain to him that I need more support. Check that, I am sure that my senior (Mitch) will do that himself. I bet he is so sick of my nasally voice and my workplace gaffes. If I had to rate myself on a percentile basis, I would rate myself somewhere in the fourth or fifth percentile. That's shockingly below average. I can't be the worst though. There is no way, right? I'm sure Bombshell has to suck at auditing. For Christ sakes she wore leopard print pants to Betty Anderson’s seminar. I might not know how to connect to VPN or even put my correct phone number in my signature (some poor HR woman in my office had her cell phone number distributed to so many people who shouldn't have it) but I know what appropriate clothing is and I know how to not look like a hooker. At least I have that going for me...which is nice.

OK so yesterday I showed up to the client 20 minutes early. I felt like this was a solid move. It showed that I am eager to start and ready to rock out some audits. No. This was a poor move. My senior was 10 minutes late so I ended up looking like a rough ridin' dick, sitting alone in a big ass conference room, billing them my rate for looking up the cheapest liquor prices in a 15 mile radius. I am dedicated to my job, right?. Anyway, he shows up and the crap show begins. He literally assigned me 20 forms to look at and edit. Excuse me? Do you know what I am able to do? I will photocopy the crap out of a document but I can't perform a walkthrough for dick. One of the more epic quotes pertaining to my ineptitude was said today by Mitch. "Cameron, you signed off on EVERY SINGLE document in the caseware database! You haven't even done anything in the last 30 minutes." That was a solid move.

However, the best display of my inability to comprehend any small procedure occurred when I was given a 0340 form to do. This was a poor move by Mitch. He legitimately thought I could do it. He was in for a surprise. Earlier today, I learned that Mitch was up until 12:30 cleaning up after hurricane Cameron got a hold of some documents. Poor guy. Anyway, back to the 0340 document. I got it back and it had 34 comments. THIRTY. FOUR. How the eff does this happen?? The thing was, I actually tried to complete this document successfully. What had happened was I actually did nothing correctly. On top of that, I typed over some of the progress that Mitch had made on the form so I took us back a solid few steps. Future CEO right??

Anyway, Mitch deserves 10 accolades for having to put up with my remedial ass. I don't think he was ready to be paired with someone as devastatingly behind as me. He was not amused when I told him that there was "less than a 5% chance that I complete the whole 0340 form flawlessly." I bet he's cleaning up all the messes I made today right now.

So this is all for now. I'm sure I will have some more solid stories later. Do any of you know of any janitorial jobs available??

Your favorite person who is bad at his job,
Cameron

So there was an email sent to everyone in my company and sister schools informing them to complete online tranings that might be passed due. I walk in today and I have like 80 emails with ppl replying all "done", "I completed mine", "stop replying all", "lol stop replying all everyone", "lol. How's everyones day?", "Jesus, stop it, " :facepalm: ", "stop", so on and so on.

Then this rough ridin' guy throws this wammy in there:

Quote
My last day with the company is tomorrow, therefore, I will most likely not be completing this training. I will be listing “email etiquette” as the second reason for my departure.

and then boom:

Quote
Please note for all of those that are using this chain inappropriately, moving forward all emails will be sent to your supervisors and Human resources. Thank you   

Dumbasses!  :lol: :popcorn:

This guy may spend much of his career searching for a place where people are universally observant/conscientious enough to avoid including e-mail addresses in mass e-mails' to:/cc: fields and replying all to such e-mails.  Sadly (or hilariously, depending on your perspective), it's almost certainly the case that any large organization with large e-mail distributions and without safeguards to curtail this kind of thing has the ocasional self-sustaining moron self-identification e-mail thread.  When this happens, I just grab some popcorn and sit back and watch with glee as the cacophony of stupidity crescendoes.  I remember two massive threads - one with thousands of recipients - that went on for days / hundreds of e-mails (including scores of PhDs saying things like "Pls remove me!  Why are you e-mailing me?  I did not sign up."  And "Me too").  Dumb/careless people are everywhere.  Just amazing/cringeworthy/delightful.

Pro tip: If someone from your team dons a dunce cap and joins the parade, you're pretty much forced to rethink your hiring standards and interview process.

My First Day:

Heyyyy guys!

Well, today was my very first day. I was originally told that I would be going to a client site today but unfortunately, that does not begin until Wednesday so I am stuck in the office for another day. I originally thought that I would be doing absolutely nothing but stare into space for eight hours but I was wrong. That would have been more worth my while than what I did. I did jack crap. Jack. crap.

I stepped in the office at 9 am and stared into the abyss for a good solid hour before I even attempted to do anything. I let the emails roll in with zero care in the entire world. About an hour into the day, I thought it would be a wise career move to maybe check them. Nope. I was assigned the task of looking up 2300 client year ends and putting them in a spreadsheet. The title of this assignment was "Postcards!!!" (email title from my manager. Exclamation points were seriously over-utilized and my superior was a little overzealous).

Now you guys have known me long enough that concepts understood by 10-12 year olds might go over my head so of course I had a question. I wandered around the office for a solid 10 minutes trying to find this woman so she could give me guidance on this mindless and meaningless task. She was nowhere to be found. This confused me even more so I needed a mental timeout. After 30 minutes of sitting on my ass, I decided to wing it. (Manager wasn't in the office...found this out after I wandered around the office like an idiot). I hope I did this simple assignment right but if I didn't, I don't think anyone will care because only the worst "Postcards!!!" have fiscal year ends on them. What a shitty postcard.

Lunch time was awesome because it was paid for by the company and it took 90 minutes. We did go to a seafood restaurant (which smelled like crap but it was free) and I ordered a cheeseburger smothered in ketchup. At this point, Emily decided to tell everyone about my absurd ketchup addiction so I fielded questions about my disgusting eating habits from complete strangers who also work in my company. What a great first impression...I'm the guy who orders hamburgers at a seafood restaurant, defiles them with a half bottle of ketchup, and I eat slop like a pig. Life is glorious.

After lunch, I was informed about those CPE training tests we have to take. What a load of crap. I thought I could wing them and pass. Wrong. So wrong. I got a 20% on the "judgment" exam. Nothing like another test that implies my inability to complete my job with moderate, even minuscule, success. But a 20% when you try? eff me sideways with a lunchbox, that's devastatingly horrible. Then I realized that I have only two more opportunities to do this? Christ. After I got around the ego demoralization, I made the conscious decision to surf the web for a solid 3 hours. I found an invention that is available for $35 that gives you the ability to vaporize alcohol and inhale it and get drunk. That's the last thing I need...more ways to get mumped up that are fiscally responsible. Seriously, you might see me on the news one day all cracked out on Jim Beam offering sexual favors for a hit of alcohol. This is the crap I thought about all day.

Well, that was my first day! So fun and enlightening. I really put all the knowledge I obtained while at the Q Center to great use. Even my handy "ask your superior" panacea didn't aid me in my struggles. I hope that all of your days were equally as entertaining.

The mailman also gets better pay and benefits. You would get to retire on a pension. If you enjoy walking the neighborhood and filling people's boxes with crap they won't bother reading, it really would be a great job.

This really proper guy at my office that everyone hates because he has such an incredible vocabulary that it makes them assume he's patronizing him asked me if I use Twitter. I said yes. He mentioned that his son was soon to be the valedictorian of Rockhurst High and some classmates had made a fake twitter account using his son's name and picture. The account featured many tweets regarding hot mothers (he used "cougars" with a  :confused: tone  :lol: ) who he was going to seek out after his speech to make out with in the janitor's closet, etc. Some of them were about professors he regretted not pursuing while he was in school. Anyway, he asked me to locate the account and do my best to get it removed. As I read through the tweets it was so hard not to bust up laughing but couldn't since he was right there. He mentioned that his FBI friend was looking into it but hoped I could help.

This really proper guy at my office that everyone hates because he has such an incredible vocabulary that it makes them assume he's patronizing him asked me if I use Twitter. I said yes. He mentioned that his son was soon to be the valedictorian of Rockhurst High and some classmates had made a fake twitter account using his son's name and picture. The account featured many tweets regarding hot mothers (he used "cougars" with a  :confused: tone  :lol: ) who he was going to seek out after his speech to make out with in the janitor's closet, etc. Some of them were about professors he regretted not pursuing while he was in school. Anyway, he asked me to locate the account and do my best to get it removed. As I read through the tweets it was so hard not to bust up laughing but couldn't since he was right there. He mentioned that his FBI friend was looking into it but hoped I could help.
If I had twitter his age I would have welcomed this prank with hopes that it would lead to some hot cougar action.

I don't think it's open yet.

Another fun michigan fact: a family we know has a family "cabin" that is 17 miles from their regular house. And they go there to "get away from it all" like 2 weeks a year.

So an employee somehow got stuck between doors, and not for the first time either.  Then she managed to free herself using a vegetable.  Was the zucchini within reach or did she already have it on her in case she got stuck again?  Oh BTW people at this office are somewhat used to glass doors bursting.

So much going on here I don't even know where to start.

A little after I informed them, I got called into one of the owner's offices via phone intercom as sort of an informal exit interview slash "what would it take to to keep you" type meeting. Well about halfway through the meeting, my co worker comes through my boss's phone intercom and says KITNfury's speaker is still on, and then hangs it up. My boss never ended the call. It was a quiet morning in a small office so I imagine everybody heard the convo.

I would have pointed it out and gave a brief pause before saying, "man, it's amazing the type of spam that gets through." That way, you could gauge her reaction, give her the cop out, but still let her know that you know.

Missed opportunity.

I don't think I posted this already, but anyway, I gave notice that I was leaving my company a few weeks ago. A little after I informed them, I got called into one of the owner's offices via phone intercom as sort of an informal exit interview slash "what would it take to to keep you" type meeting. Well about halfway through the meeting, my co worker comes through my boss's phone intercom and says KITNfury's speaker is still on, and then hangs it up. My boss never ended the call. It was a quiet morning in a small office so I imagine everybody heard the convo.
I actually think it was spam, but all the same I was just kinda like "an I the only one that sees that?" Haha.

Were you talking crap on your co-workers?
Luckily no haha.

A guy I work with was dealing with a walk-in lady who wanted to file a complaint, but she was irrational and began yelling for no reason.  The guy put up with it for a couple of minutes, and then said "I don't eat oysters".  The lady stared at him for a minute, and then turned and left, figuring the guy I work with is even nuttier than she is.

barfy-not-necessarily-hilarious: I've been out of the office awhile and left a bag of pistachios on my desk. In that time our bldg developed a mouse infestation and i returned to find that they had gone to rough ridin' pound down and my desk was covered in mouse turds :barf:

the guy I share an office with had a mouse turd on his mouse pad!

Also there is a public stack bar area and the mice bypassed the mouse traps and destroyed all the snickers but left all the other snacks and candies alone, so snickers really must be the best snack.

I have located their most likely game trails and emplaced peanut butter baited mousetraps for judging these fools.

No, it's not really funny.  It's more of a "I'm silently judging you" as a result of a quote, and many folks here either share my sentiment or are guilty of the same behavior.

Just saying, it's much better to have a predetermined set of words.  Otherwise, it becomes some type of clinical psychology word association exercise.

so the guy who sits next to me very nonchalantly says "huh, there's a naked dude on the phone in that apartment over there."  We all had a good laugh about this guy who prolly got more work stuff done on that phone convo than most of our office.   I think the attached pic is too blurry to be nsfw.

Apparently at that same apartment a few years back, a different tenant lived there.  With his woman-friend. On a Wednesday afternoon, she was [family-blog]ing him a [family-blog] at that same window.

I walk briskly at work as well. I'm talking about the people who take like 15 minutes every 2 hours to powerwalk laps around the building for exercise.

I'm a big fan of walking fast, but this practice ethically requires that you are also very aware of your surroundings and cognizant of blind corners/footpath intersections.

Booger problem in men's restroom

Guys,

We have a problem with folks picking their nose while using the facility and wiping the boogers on the tile above the urinals in the men’s restrooms.  Kleenex works well for this issue.  Every month the facilities guys clean/remove the boogers when they do their regular scheduled rest room check.  I’m sorry for this ridiculous mass email but this activity needs to stop. We would appreciate your cooperation with this matter.  Have a good day. Thank You.

Tomorrow I’ll be going through the office trying to record each of us singing part of the song “We Wish You a Merry Christmas” to do a mashup similar to this (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KeaehxEdpgo) for our annual holiday card.  Obviously, it won’t be nearly as funny as Captain Piccard, but I think it will be more entertaining and personal than just a fancy photo of the garland, ribbon, and lights in my house (which was last year’s card, although I did receive several compliments on the pretty picture).  AND I’m envisioning this being a representation of (company name)’s “fun” side so feel free to bring out your Christmas sweaters and ham it up.

People are not happy.  The admin people already put on a real shitty Christmas party (sing along at Alamo Drafthouse), and now this.  We are engineers, not the cast of Glee.

People are not happy.  The admin people already put on a real shitty Christmas party (sing along at Alamo Drafthouse), and now this.  We are engineers, not the cast of Glee.

What kind of company sends out a Christmas card with a picture of some crap a random lady that works there had in her house?  Also, pull your balls out of your zipper hole to really up your ham factor.  #lifehack

I should mention, the HR lady is the owner's niece, so nobody calls her out on these types of things.

ugh, small businesses are the absolute worst

I don't think the size of the business is the issue.

EMAW co-worker recorded himself whistling Christmas carols, burned it to a CD, and swapped it in a white elephant gift exchange.  Even 'shopped an awesome cover for the CD.

So today, a coworker who no one really likes because she is a "know it all" and never stops talking, came to my cube to talk about a matter. I'm pretty point blake and told her my thoughts on the matter, which was actually in her favor. However, she found the need to blabber on 10 minutes more, after I had made the decision for her, just to remind me her thoughts on the issue. I mean, it didn't stop and I just gave her this student. Why were we still talking about it?

Anyways, My sweet coworker (mid 50's, church goer, etc.) does one of the most uncharacteristic, but awesome things for me. She called my cell phone (Where finally my coworker walked away) and said: "Hey! I'm your dr.s appt reminder. I could tell you were over talking to her. You're welcome!".  :lol:

Not hilarious, but amusing story that happened today:

I was on a conference call with a lot of people I didn't know today, I chimed in and this guy was being pretty belligerent and questioning me like I didn't have any idea what I was talking about. I in turn got pretty belligerent and used lots of facts to show that THEY didn't know what they were talking about. It was a lot of fun, really.

Since I didn't know who I was arguing with, I asked who it was after the meeting. Turns out I got into a shouting match with someone at my boss's boss's boss's level. :cool:

So the power went out today and the toilets are all automatic flushers.  There is a button you can push on it to flush but it won't auto flush with no electricity.  So one of the secretaries is pooping when the power goes out and then refuses to leave the bathroom with the turd floating in the single room bathroom and instead cracks the door open and starts asking for advice about what to do from the adjacent offices.  One idea submitted was for her to fill up a trash can with water and try to "force flush it."  I helpfully explained that wouldn't work and asked if she had hit the button.  I feel bad for the humiliated old ass secretary, but boy oh boy the other secretaries were either trolling or completely unhelpful. 

Do not go to battle with the secretaries.  They are ready to frag you when you are taking fire.

Boss sits down at stall right next to mine. I'm frantically cutting my deuce aka relaxation time short. Here's the kicker. As boss lets out disgusting slimy fart/crap he takes LARGE inhale followed by an "ahhhh."

No one can see me, but I'm visibly shaken. I quickly get sorted and get out of there as fast as I can.

without missing a beat she says "that's what I've been told" and just smiles. I had no response and just kind of laughed it off and she walked away  :sdeek:

Do people ever drink the office booze at work, though? I worked at a place that had beers in the fridge, but no one ever touched them.  It was as if they were just office decorations, or a way for people to feel that they worked in a relaxed work environment. Boss was a huge alcoholic, though, so there's that.

I don't know if this is hilarious, but ever since my coworker moved next to me in his new cubicle, he's played the "Knights tale" soundtrack everyday, all day, for the last 3 weeks.  :curse: I mean, I don't know where that movie hold with him in his heart, but I'm about to tell him Heath Ledger is dead.

There were at least 4 different half eaten candy bars and 6 mostly empty bags of m&m's. Tupperware containers and cans and boxes of food everywhere.

This story started out preparing for :sdeek: but turned into :lol:

I walked by the window and glanced out and saw one of those itty bitty smart cars just sitting on the on ramp(no shoulder) of the interstate up here.

I was fully expecting to see someone blast this tiny car at 60 because they didn't see it so I kept watching. Time went by and one of the AAA trucks showed up behind it so I thought he was saved. The AAA dude walks up to the car, talks to the guy for a min, then gets back in his truck and drives off leaving the dude there.

I was absolutely puzzled and again, waited for the inevitable to happen.  5 mins later a trooper in an SUV shows up behind him, so again I think the guy is saved.  Sure enough the trooper talks to him for a min, then walks back to his car and gets in starting to pull off like he is leaving. The trooper was actually just re-positioning himself. He then eases his bumper into the rear of this rinky dink smart car and just starts pushing it down the highway like a boss.  It was great.

Guys I'm going to be rich  :excited:



Kindly Accept & Acknowledge my Proposal!

I am Roy. Claude, I am an accountant with the Standard Chartered Bank in the United Kingdom, I am the accountant of a late client who passed away 4 yrs ago without living any trace or heir to a huge funds under my possession as his personal account office with my bank.

I understand that through Internet is not the best way to link up with you but because of the confidentiality which my proposal demands but i choose to reach you through this medium because i have sent same letter one month ago with no response from you, but I am not sure if it did get to you since I have not heard from you. Hence my reason for contacting you through the Internet which has been abused over the years.
I am contacting you again based on the fact that you bear same last name as the deceased hence i will like to put you in as the heir to the sum of £5,600, 000.00 sterling pounds. In the last testament of our deceased client name now withed and will be review upon your reply.

My major aim is to see that the funds is not confiscated by the bank or the Government because after 5 yrs without claim, the funds will be sent to the reserve bank as unclaimed hence i will like us to share the proceeds of the funds since i can not do this alone without your help as the heir to be.
Upon your acceptance to work with me in the profitable business idea , I will furnish you will all the necessary information and what is required to get this done within 14 working days .

Please do forward me your contact details for more information with regards to this business deal including your full names ,telephone numbers and your address and name of who you want as the next of kin to the funds and i will file in for the claim on your behalf to enable us begin this project.

I will expect to hear from you soonest.

Yours Truly,
Roy Claude

I just had a call from the leawood police department. "Sir, we have a reported accident with your 2002 pasat, etc." After listening to the VM I ran down to the parking lot (Thinking I did something wrong). Nope, a lady scraped/hit the side of my car with her rough ridin' beautiful Tahoe. I talked with the cops and said "My car is a piece of crap. I can probably just wash that off, I'm not worried about it, but i'll take her info". So I walk up to her car to apologize, that her nice car had to get dented in by my shitty car that was parked in between the lines (I know, sounds crazy) and guess what? It was a coworker.  :lol: She was so embarrassed. That poor thing, called the cops to report herself hitting my shitty car. I made sure she laughed about it when she got out of the car.

One time I got rear ended, didn't see any damage, and told the guy I wasn't worried about it. Then, I changed my focus from my car to the guy and notice that he looked very grimy, was missing quite a few teeth, and was definitely over the limit. He said, "OH, THANK YOU SO MUCH. I REALLY DO APPRECIATE IT. MY LICENSE IS SUSPENDED." He wanted to shake my hand. I just wanted to get out of the road.

I rolled forward and gently nudged a lady at the stop sign at 87th and Antioch a couple years ago...she got out and was making a huge scene. I walked up to the front of my car and my front grille was cracked (stupid plastic) and her hitch on the SUV had the grease rubbed off...she was still raising a scene and complaining about how she needed to see a doctor because I hit her too hard...blah blah blah

Luckily, a police officer was in the parking lot watching that intersection (because people rarely actually stop there) and saw the whole thing. He walked up and told the lady to calm down. She was freaking out on both of us saying she was going to sue and that she was hurt and that i'd be paying for all the damage to her shitty old Kia. GMAFB lady! After I told her I was an attorney that deals with this stuff every day and the cop said that he saw the whole thing as well, she realized her BS wouldn't work on us, she just got in her car and drove off without saying anything. Haven't heard anything else about it since that day.

Jokingly, the cop said, should I follow her and arrest her for fleeing the scene of an accident?  :lol:

The beauty of this whole deal is that i'm not an even an attorney :lol:

In the future, if I ever get pulled over in OP/Lenexa, I hope it's the same police officer. Then I can joke with him about remembering that time with the car accident and the lady freaked out...it will be great!

Halloween costume day! This may be the nerdiest costume I've ever seen. This guy has a shark's head coming out of the front of his shirt with fake blood and all and he has a toy chainsaw as a prop. Sharknado, right? But GET THIS. He also has, hanging from around his neck, a photo of himself talking to Ian Ziering at a comic book convention in front of a Sharknado backdrop. Haha.

The photo is terrible, too, because he didn't buy the official $100 promo photo, but had someone else take it from a distance on their phone. You can't even see his face in it - just the back of his head.

there was also a funny halloween exchange about inappropriate parties. Another coworker who went to probably the WASP-iest school in the world was like, "so the sailing team can no longer have gangster parties" and the original guy (who did the niners fan quote) was like, "well, there's not any black students on the sailing team, right? So when would they have an opportunity to have a gangster party" or something like that. I had trouble following his logic.

Company wide email. 3 people have responded to everyone that they will not attend or should not be included. 6 people have replied all telling us not to reply all. I am considering sending a "Royals won the World Series" message. I think our friends overseas need to be alerted of this.


Gonna win 'em all!
It escalated last evening. I had deleted several of the responses, but I think it is around 40 right now. Lots of
"Please take me off this list."
"Stop replying all and please remove me from this list."
"Me, too."

Of course, a couple of people are just furious and have went to all caps: "PLEASE STOP REPLYING ALL!"

At least one helpful person did a tutorial on how to filter email so it goes directly into your deleted folder.

I hear people say ping. Also, if someone is following up on an email they sent that hasn't yet been responded to, they'll forward that same email and put "ping" in the body. Nothing else. Just ping. These pinging acts are only done by the younger people.

Seriously though I'm glad that term hasn't made it into my company's lingo (yet).  If I ever see or hear somebody use "ping" I will mock them by reenacting that line of the movie.  It will be me doing an imitation of Sean Connery doing an imitation of a Soviet sub captain.  It will be as ridiculous as it sounds and hopefully make the person who uses "ping" to become aware of just how dumb it is.

The internal remote access server we use at my company is called SEAM portal.

When people want to log in from home, often times, they won't say "I'm going to SEAM portal in, when i get home"  Or "I'm going to remote in, when..."   they say

"I'm going to SEAM in, when i get home"

Say that aloud.  And its not a minority of people, most people verbalize this concept in this fashion.  I am aghast at this on going double entendre that apparently no one but me notices.

i can't recall verbatim.  all sentences were variations of:  can you ping this person or i'll ping that person.  my understanding of his usage was that it meant contact & communicate with no specific medium of communication specified.

i don't think you'd ping someone in the same room with you by voice, though.  i think some distance and electronic means of allowing communication to transpire across that distance is implied.  also i think you can probably only ping someone to initiate communication.  if someone pings you, i don't think you responding is also pinging.

What about the guy who said ping in response?  Did your boss say "hey carl you need ping this certain person and fill them in on the details" and carl said "OK boss I'll ping that person"? What wouldn't he just say "OK"?

It was more like "That will be a hand job." i.e. You will have to do the calculations by hand, not an automated process.

And laying pipe was used in the sense of "laying groundwork" to get someone to accept some bad news.

DOG FRIENDLY OFFICE: DOG PEEING ON THE CARPET

^dogs are gross

Perhaps making it more hilarious is we're in a temporary shared space with other companies and the dog pissed next to another company's desk. The dog also just runs free and digs through other companies' trash and stuff. ha

Also, I found out today that apparently the dog has been doing this regularly and the owner has no idea (because he just ignores the dog most of the time.) I also learned that when he moved from the east coast to the west coast, he had a psychiatrist friend write him a note that the dog was a mental support service dog so it could go on the plane. Like, he just brings the dog into restaurants now and says it's a service dog. And of course since it's not trained as a service dog it goes and smells other peoples' food and stuff. Great to watch.

well as many of you know, i work on my family's sorghum ranch.  the other day i was eating lunch with my gramps, age: 91, and some of the ranch hands (gramps calls them "Howdy Doodies").  we were all finishing up some of mom's homemade enchiladas.  they are the Howdy Doodies favorite thing that mom makes. this time though, gramps bit down into a chicken bone that had snuck it's way into mom's enchiladas and hurt his mouth.  anyway, as we're taking the plates to the well to rinse them, gramps says, "time to go harvest some more Sore Gums".

my God, me and the Howdy Doodies haven't laughed that hard all season. 

also there are tons of dogs on the ranch, gramps calls them "devil tornadoes".

Dog pro-tip:  if your particular municipality requires that you register your dog, and thus pay a registration fee, you can pay some money on some website and get your dog to be certified as a service dog thereby eliminating that annual fee, which will save you money.

I was very angry.  Not really at the city or the fee or whatever, just that one of my neighbors was too chicken crap to come talk to me.  Also, what pissed me off second most, was that they said I had two dalmatians.  Which they very rough ridin' obviously are not.  Third most pissed me off, is that they think I would be stupid enough to have not one but two rough ridin' dalmatians.   Really the fee was like a distant ninth thing that pissed me off.

Well, there are offices on the exterior walls surrounding an open area in the center that has a lot of tables and chairs. The offices are filled with a few different companies and the center is free workspace with a couple companies having people there all the time. I'm pretty sure the dog took a crap next to the table where one of the companies worked, but it's quite possible they went into one of the offices to take a crap because they go in and out and dig in everyone's thrash as they please.

when people call my dogs brother/sister, i always want to rebut them by pointing out that they're prolly gonna eff at some point.  i don't though, because i'm semi-socially appropriate.

we're expected to keep them in the office if we go out to say, get a drink of water or go to the bathroom. Owners don't help.

Earlier today the dogs were fighting over a piece of cardboard. Owner takes it, puts it into short trash can, leaves the room. Dogs immediately grab the cardboard out of the trash, start fighting/chewing over it. Second owner looks confused when someone comments over it, picks it up, and puts it back in the same trash can. Dogs immediately grab it. michigancat takes it and puts it into the real trash so they can destroy something that won't make a mess that their owners will ignore. *sigh*

It's a definite mix. It's less funny when they are locked in my office directly behind my desk and the owners are awol. When the dogs are taking dumps on the other side of the building or digging in another company's trash while they're on the phone, it's pretty hilarious.

Whenever I leave the office and the owners aren't in there with them, I'm tempted to just set them free to run around all day and piss wherever they want in the common area. It shouldn't be my job to confine them. But everyone else seems to think it is their job to keep them confined so I would look like a jerk if I deliberately let them free.

Some animal interaction in the office is great, but once the line is crossed it's super unproductive and sets ppl on edge, both are opposite of what employers want out of it.

Pretty good separation.  I mean, no dishes during work is something you establish early.  Also, separate entrances, etc.  It's pretty great, though.  The kitchen, grill, etc is all a set of stairs away.  It's like working from home, after a while.

it's not that weird for a small business to be based out of a person's house (maybe it's just a construction thing tho).  the last company i worked at in mhk was based in the owners house for like 20 years before they expanded too much and had to build an office.  my current company was worked out of the owners garage and barn for 5-10 years before he got large enough for a big production building, then he started another business in his garage after that on the side and it's grown into another pretty successful business.

I worked in a big cubicle area with people from lots of different departments. So at 9:30am and at 2:30pm in a designated conference room, anyone who wanted to stretch could go. Only about 15-20 people (out of maybe 100? I'm not sure) went. There was a leader who lead us through the stretches for about 10-15 minutes.

Yeah, that's ridiculous. When you are alone with them, you should "close" the door but "accidentally" not make it latch all the way. That is too confined of a space to expect you to share with a dog (whether the owner is there or not) unless the dog just lays under the owner's desk all day.

There is a training program at my work that is mandatory for people to attend as part of the new hiring process, it involves visiting several sites during business hours.  The time missed is reported to HR for record keeping.

Some guy had been submitting at his work site that he was going to these training sessions on Friday afternoons and heading off for a long weekend.

She's barking now and everyone is trying to tell her to be quiet and the owner came out. Another company told us they were going to get on a call. Turns out the owner didn't tie her to the leg, he just abandoned her and someone else tied her up because she was running around and digging through trash.

Some lady's phone just went off at full blast for a good 20-30 seconds and the ringtone was some sort of Jesus-y rock song.  The last 10 seconds of it was her going "Uh sorry.....sorry everyone.....just a second.....how do I....."


Same lady again, except this time it was a cheap sounding piano version of Ode To Joy and she was able to shut it off after less than 10 seconds.  She's making progress!

Gut reaction, looking at the back of one's own eyeballs should probably be illegal.  What if it disrupted the space-time continuum?  Not worth the risk, IMO.

One of my coworkers is a single mom so she brings the kid in when we have meetings after work. The kid usually uses my computer/desk while we're in meetings. 2-3 weeks ago, I see the kid playing with my stapler for some reason. I don't think much of it then find my stapler is broken the next morning. Last week I brought in some bomb red velvet cookies to snack on during the work day. After our evening work meeting the mom informs me her kid had eaten them.

Her mom works in a different building. Committee meetings are held in my building. I'm the only committee member with an office in the building so I let her use it to keep her entertained. It beats having her in the meeting.

Couple things to this story: She loves French onion dip and she's Jewish. So when I got to the dip section at price chopper, I notice they didn't have just regular French onion Dip. They had French onion Dip with bacon and French onion Dip light. I'm like: "I can't bring back the french onion dip light, they'll give me crap." So I grab the one with bacon. She can't have bacon. Whoops.  :lol:

Our organization's aging staff constantly clicks on viruses.  So our Tech department decided to put a filter on any email that includes the word "click" in it to add a warning on the topic that says [potential virus]

they then sent out an email explaining this which triggered their own [potential virus] filter.

They then sent an additional email explaining why the filter was triggered, and triggered the filter again.

I have to knock down birds' nests on a weekly basis outside of my office doors, otherwise they end up in the building. They've only invaded once since we moved, but the pandemonium was hilarious.

So I seeked out my HR Director to explain a few things for him and why we could and couldn't change some of the verbiage (non-compete stuff). She sent a long email and then left at noon for vacation. This was the start of an email that he had written, after he got the auto-reply back from my HR Director. :lol:

True story I heard recently: a tinyish-but-not-Meade-tiny high school in Louisiana just had a brand new press box built. I saw the thing and it looks swanky in an artsy-fartsy architectural kind of way. However, 5the architects didn't calculate angles correctly in relation to the windows, sooo....when you sit in the press box you can't see the end zones. :facepalm:

My understanding was that there was some medical test to "prove" you are a non-smoker. (Like a stress test where you run on a treadmill???) And for people who do not smoke but are also unable to complete the test for medical reasons, they will give a waiver (or alternate standard).

I am reviewing a set of plans right now where they are batting less than .500 on getting R/L and B/V correct. Might have been better off flipping a coin.

Also, this email was sent earlier this week:

Quote
We all love our office pups and are very lucky to have a space where they're allowed. 


To date, our dog rules have been pretty 'lax, but as we continue to grow, we need to implement some rules for bringing your pet into the office. 


1. Our lease only allows for 2 dogs, so we are limiting to 2 dogs a day. Any more than that and they get a little rambunctious. Our space isn't a dog park. If you plan on bringing in your dog to work please slack and @mention other dog owners so they know who's pup will be in the office that day. When the first floor opens, we can have 4 dogs (2 per floor). 


2. Keep an eye on your pup. This is for their safety and the safety of everyone else in the office. If you don't think you'll have the bandwidth to monitor your perro, best leave them at home. 


3. Help prevent accidents. Every dog here has had an accident (either at xxx street or here). Help keep it to a minimum by taking them out for a walk and making sure they do their business. And if they do have an accident please do the responsible thing and clean up after your pup. 


Also, just some general guidelines we should maintain for everyone's health and safety:

Dogs must be properly licensed and vaccinated.

Owners must be currently and consistently administering preventative flea treatment.

All pets should be in good health. Free of fleas or any disease that is communicable to other animals in the office or to humans. Like humans, pets that are ill should stay at home.

Take pet home if behavior interferes with an employee’s ability to work (i.e. aggressive behavior, growling, barking, chasing, jumping, biting).

One formal behavior complaint results in mandatory behavioral training before the dog can re-enter the office. All complaints can be sent to xxxxx

Pets should be properly potty trained. After a dog’s third accident (vomit not included), a 4-week ban from the office will be mandated in order to allow for appropriate training.

Replace any office items that are damaged by your pet.

Feel free to reach out if you have any questions.


Thanks!

Michigancat, would any of your colleagues get upset if your work just said 'ok no more dogs, it's more trouble than it's worth'?  Why are they doing this?  I just don't understand it.
Well, the top boss in the office actually has his dog in the office more than anyone. He's also in meetings 100% of the day.

He kind of does. But not really. Like, he's definitely emailed the office asking for people to watch the dog when he leaves on long trips and people have done it for him. But no one's assigned to walk the dog during the day or anything.

He didn't write the email, someone much more responsible did.

And all the dogs have crap in the office.

And the dogs on the lease thing was always in place at this office - we just moved in December. Shitty dog owner who was also in charge of the lease at the new place said he had to negotiate to allow two dogs

you have to make it yourself and it seems really time consuming for a tiny cup of coffee. the other coffee choice is drip coffee (that's actually pretty good)

Yeah, I read through way more reviews than I should have and honestly cannot tell if it is an elaborate joke or not.  A bunch of people call it an Italian restaurant and someone even acted like it had Indian food.  Or maybe they did something where they hired a company overseas to make a bunch of fake accounts and a bunch of fake reviews (would explain a glowing description but 4 star rating) and they just got confused over which one they were doing.

Our company x-mas party is tonight. Because you can't just substitute drinking at a company x-mas party with weekly happy hour drinking, the office drinking crew moved up their trip to the bar and went last night instead of tonight. They are flexible! I joined them for the first time in a long time. A few highlights:

* As previously mentioned, the bar down the road has $2.50 double wells. At this point, the bartender just automatically pours rums and Coke into pint glasses for the regulars as they walk in. Like, pint glasses filled to the top, for real.

* The company president, who actually lives four hours away in Cleveland but is in town for the x-mas party, was there and picked up the tab (up to that point) on his way out. There were about ten of us there. I, myself had four pints of craft beer. The bill total, which I saw with my own eyes, was $37.

* The bartender/owner was slightly fretting about having to take down all of her elaborate holiday decorations on a Friday only to turn around and put them back up on a Sunday because Insane Clown Posse is going to be playing there soon and, according to her, "are going to totally trash the place. :/" She assured us that everything would be safe, though, because she has 15 bouncers that she refers to as "SEAL Team Six."

As part of our sustainability effort they put in motion sensor light switches. At least 1-2 times each day I have to waive.my arms to get the lights back on in my office.  You can walk along a row of offices and lights will randomly go out.

At one point I downloaded the switch setup   file and tried to reprogram it.  All I could do was max out the time it stayed on.

I have two huge projects that go live on 1/1. One critically affects all of the company's lines of business. The other is the most important for our department since I've been here. I received this from my boss today at 10:56 a.m.:

Hey guys, I have some PTO to burn up before the end of the year. I'll be working from home the rest of the week. If you need anything don't hesitate to call or email. I'll be available just not glued to the computer if I can help it.

Yesterday, I kept receiving messages from my boss. I expected to see him walk into our shared office any time. He never did. Never saw him all day. The funny part is that I know for certain that he was in the building all day.

OMG. I forgot there was a baby shower today!! (Which, incidentally, is probably why my bosses aren't here.) The big conference room where they are having it is adjacent to the break room. I got back from the gym, hair all wet, gym bag over shoulder, and barged into the break room. I immediately heard voices, looked, and saw the double doors to the conference room were open. I was in plain view of, like, ever-y-one in the entire rough ridin' office sitting there for the baby shower. It was almost over, and I'd obviously skipped out on it for my own personal agenda. So, I just gave a big smile, waved, got my lunch out of the fridge, and left. Some dude stared me down and gave me a friendly WTF look.

Disappointed with no bday lunch update
Title: Re: Hilarious Things At Your Office
Post by: chum1 on January 25, 2018, 10:01:27 PM
The birthday lunch invite didn't really say who was having the birthday. I was like, "no big deal, I'll figure that out when I get there." It was like 15-20 minutes into lunch before I figured it out. The giveaway was when a girl broke a period of silence by thanking everyone for eating lunch with her on her birthday.

They made her a big card and put some printouts of personal pics in it that they'd obtained from her facebook account. And they all wrote semi-dirty jokes inside. For example, Q: what's the difference between a boy and girl snowman? A: snowballs!

Someone came in late because she'd just been in an auto accident. She started describing what happened and then the birthday girl interrupted to tell us about the time her car broke down and she was dressed like a clown and she didn't have a phone and the police wouldn't come because they thought they were getting crank calls and no one would stop because they thought she was just doing funny clown stuff rather than signaling for help.

The next get together is Saturday evening (well, excluding the bar tomorrow night, that is). It's an annual event. At someone's house. And it has a name. Beerfest.

The next get together is Saturday evening (well, excluding the bar tomorrow night, that is). It's an annual event. At someone's house. And it has a name. Beerfest.

I'd heard more than a couple mentions of Beerfest from more than a couple people at work over the past few months. So, in my mind, it was going to be maybe 8-10 people from work and their guests. You know just hanging out and laughing about work mostly. I got a clue it wasn't exactly going to be like that at happy hour the night before. I brought it up and and a girl remarked that I'd be getting to meet all of the sci-fi people, who are friends of Mr. Beerfest, husband of my coworker, Mrs. Beerfest. The girl says, "remember how Mrs. Beerfest was talking about the Six-Million Dollar Man lunch box the other day?"

So, my wife and I show up about an hour after the official start of Beerfest. We go in, say hi to Mrs. Beerfest, and I'm scanning all of the people in sight to see who I recognize. I'm not seeing anyone I know. Mrs. Beerfest shows us to the kitchen and where all the food is. I look around the kitchen and still don't recognize anyone. Then, Mrs. Beerfest says the beer is down in the basement and people are hanging out down there. So, I'm thinking "Aha! My coworkers are downstairs!" They were not. Not a damn one.

Instead, we said hi to Mr. Beerfest, who I'd met a couple times before. We immediately started talking about the impressive display of sci-fi memorabilia on the shelves that spanned the entire length of one wall. He picked up a stack of fake money that was used as a prop in an X-Files episode. He asked me if I remembered something, and I think it was the name of the X-Files episode, and I was just like, "no, I don't know what that is." Then he asked me about if I'd seen something that had a really obscure sounding name, like "Wyent" or something. The conversation ended pretty quickly after that. I then met a few of Mrs. Beerfest's relatives and then my wife and I headed back upstairs.

We got some food, and ended up sitting down at the kitchen table. There were like six people standing around and talking. This super tan, super blonde girl with boobs spilling out all over the place was telling a story about how some dental hygenist grabbed a dentist's ass at work and said, "sorry, I just couldn't help myself." She then told that exact same story like three more times to the exact same people. At some point, I noticed that I could see into the living room from where I was sitting. I saw Mrs. Beerfest's relatives in there. It looked like they were having some sort of family gathering or something. I looked a little closer and see that they're in there opening Christmas presents. At that point, I asked my wife if she was ready to go.

Chum's most recent story is the type of thing I would have never ever dared to even do in the first place.  I just rarely ever do outside of work work events anymore.  It's like this: I decide whether I think it sounds enjoyable, and if it sounds enjoyable I do it, but if it doesn't sound enjoyable I do not do it.  I am very lucky that I am at a place presently where I don't have to do any out-side-of-work sucking up anymore.

And "sucking up" isn't the right word.  I mean "relationship building."  I don't have to do that anymore, beyond the walls of the office.  It's a HUGE relief.

This reminds me that one time we went to a work Christmas party at one of my wife's coworker's homes and everyone was settling in with drinks in the living room.  I was checking out the decor and looked up above the fireplace at the mantle and behind the garlands and Christmas stuff there was an oil painting of a bunch of forest nymphs with little fairy wings with big boobs frolicking around a stream.  Then I saw a 50+ teddy bear collection on the master bedroom bed when I went to get my coat.  Legit weird.

Also one of the coworkers husband's went and got certified/trained to be Santa Claus in L.A. and his wife dresses up like Mrs. Claus and they show up and it is pretty cool for the kids.  They also do old west quick draw shooting competitions and Chisholm Trail cattle drives and stuff.  So much better to have true weirdos as coworkers than normal, boring people.

So, President/COO Charlie Sheen door guy is gone as of 1/1/18. Seems like he and the the owner/CEO weren't seeing eye to eye. Since then, the other owner guy, Roy, who before was merely a silent partner, has moved into an office and has been, I don't know, doing stuff.

I'm not really sure how old Roy is. Retirement age. The first time I met him, he walked into my conference room office, said, "So, what is it you do around here," pulled up a chair, and sat down. I immediately thought, "OH crap," sat up striaght, and tried to make myself sound as important as possible. Then, he pulled out his phone and showed me live video streams from about 25 cameras in his brand new airplane hangar packed full of shiny airplanes ready for use in who knows what sort of commercial aviation endeavor. Then, he asked me if I knew anything about QuickBooks, adding that they were having some issues with it at the airport.

The next time I saw him, he pulled out his phone again. More airplane hangar live streams. After that, live streams of a couple hotel lobbies, bars, and restaurants. He explained how he had a camera on the point-of-sale touchscreen in order to monitor if customers were getting charged or comped for drinks. I understand that he also owns a strip club that he won in a poker game, but the streams he showed me were all G-rated. I told him to let me know if he still needed help with QuickBooks. He replied, "Okay! I'm not bashful!"

The right hand man of the now gone President/COO came into my conference room office looking for a box. He was packing up the stuff in his office because he's transitioning out of the company (which is unsurprising given the right hand man thing). He then compared his situation to my boss's. News to me!

So, I went into my boss's boss's office to find out what's going on. Apparently, my boss is not going to be employed by the company, but basically doing the same work on a contract basis (and have other clients). So, it looks like I'm not really going to have a boss going forward. I have previous experience in this area!

I was too hungover to give more of a write-up on Saturday.

I got there long after the thing had started. I was ready to start joking around and laughing with my coworkers. They were pretty much all watching the show, though. Like, not into it by yelling and cheering and stuff. More like just quietly watching.

I tried to joke around with a few people and eventually ended up subtly headbanging and singing along to the metal that was constantly playing with a couple of girls from the office at the end of the table. By that time, the thing was just about over and I had started ironically cheering and yelling smartass stuff. I was mostly way too drunk to notice or care what kind of reaction I got from my coworkers, but I don't think they thought I was as funny as I did.

I don't remember a lot after that. The most notable incident, though, was when I turned my head and saw the VP of Finance posing for a pic with a couple of the wrestlers and some random dudes. Right at the time they all came into focus for me, up went her shirt and out came the boobs in a single, smooth, seemingly well practiced motion.

I have worked at/for two different large private companies over the years that did stuff like that all the time.  If you own the place, then the whole thing is essentially your checkbook....there is no such thing as "company money."  I mean, there is tax evasion if you claim that the 25K check is for a business expense and it's actually for personal expenses, but other than that's perfectly legal/ethical.

When I was just starting out, I used to get bent out of shape about that crap too, though.  Big private companies that are closely held (small group of people) almost always have the peculiarities of the owners popping up in crazy places.  Looking back, I have zero problem with it.  I see public companies do much more ridiculous wasting of money than private companies....the bureaucracy and red tape, and layers of redundant management.   

When I finally get off the road and quit my current line of work, I want to settle down in either a non-profit or a private company.  I want nothing to do with a publicly held company.

A coworker just talked me out of using "xx_420_blazeit_xx" as the name for my work NCAA bracket.

After seeing the name on our ESPN group page, she came over to my conference room/office, sat down, and said, "we need to talk about your 420 blazeit name." She said she thought it was hilarious, but thought others would very much not. So, I changed it to Mario4-2.

THEN, after I changed it, I swear to God a dude came over to my conference room/office, sat down, and said, "we need to talk about Mario. Do you play? Are you a fan?" I am not making this up.

For reference:

Holy crap. (And, yeah, the dude's name had me loling.)

So we have a hip modern office and all the walls are white boards but only about 1/3 of them get used for business stuff.

I went around one day and started writing quotes and attributing them to other people. Started out with "Do or do not. There is no try" -Abe Lincoln 1861.

Other people joined in and now we have a "Inspiration Station" filled with half real and half fake quotes. (https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20180622/6ce40be209fb8df629c12df993948d68.jpg)

There is a dude who was sort of the guru/inside connection for the main software platform my company uses. We are currently transitioning to another software platform. He's been kept totally out of the loop on that. I get the impression that maybe he screws up a lot and people are tired of working with him. So, it really feels like we're phasing out of both the software and this dude. Like they'll be getting rid of him soon. :(

So, yesterday, the office manager lady was going around to notify that people were gathering at this dude's office for his birthday. We head down there and people are milling around inside and outside his door because he's not there. I decide to go back to my office because there's no telling how long it will be before he returns. And also because the whole thing was kinda weird. Why not in the break room like usual? Why no email announcement like usual?

I heard them sing happy birthday from down the hall, wait a bit, and then head back to his office. He's sitting at his desk, has a smallish cake directly in front of him, and there are around twelve people standing around the perimeter of his office. No one can really think of anything to say. Someone makes a comment on the cake. Everyone is like, "yeah!" Then, silence again. It's just totally rough ridin' awkward. So, he's like, "let's have some cake!" And he reaches awkwardly across his desk for some paper plates and starts cutting into the cake. He's just sitting there at his desk, trying to balance squares of cake on a plastic knife so they don't fall off, and there's a group of people are standing around, just watching. I couldn't stay there. The scene was just too pathetic and sad and I couldn't take it.

When I got in this morning, I saw the pitiful, little cake sitting in the break room. The majority of it was still there. I'd guess maybe six pieces had been eaten.

is there somewhere you can go to give away leftover halloween candy?  i need a way to transfer it to children without looking like a child molester.

the only idea i've had so far is to put it in a bag and leave it outside a public library.  good idea or bad?

I think some police depts and/or dentist offices will take donations and package for it a good cause, either children or overseas troops.

This would be hilarious. Love that movie. But I too scoff at adults who show up to the office in costume. Of course, I only work with highly intelligent (both socially and intellectually) people, so we were fine. But I ran into a lot of these mongrels in the elevator bank.

Thought I would share a writing from our pastor at Cross Roads Mason on a series we are working on called UNDIVIDED, a six-week spiritual journey that brings people together of different races and life backgrounds to have meaningful conversations – often leading to healing within our alienated communities.

As Greater Cincinnati is in the national, and even international, spotlight for an interaction between Covington Catholic High School students, a Native American elderly man, and members of the Hebrew Israelites, I believe empathy is needed now more than ever.

I have watched the short video that went viral on Saturday, and I have watched the longer videos that were made public on Sunday. I don’t pretend to have all the facts, but I can tell you one thing I am certain: America is growing increasingly divided in the way we handle and communicate discussions about race, ideology and faith.

In our world of viral snippets, we have lost our ability to listen before jumping to assumptions and filling in the story ourselves. We like to stay in our echo chambers, surrounded by people and sources that tell us what we want to hear. But when we listen to people’s stories with empathy, it changes who we are and by extension becomes a revolutionary act that brings connection in the place of fear, hatred, and division.

When we previously could trust the news media we let them influence or give us a basis for a lot of our thoughts and decisions. However since fake news has become so wide spread since Dan Rather was admittedly deceiting his viewers (regarding George Bush military records 1992 ) that most people have not or cannot read between the lines and consider the source and then determine what what is right and wrong ,that people now have to consider the source before they are influnced on makeing a decision as to the right or the wrong of any event taking place.
It’s a sad day in America when possibly ALL the facts are out that the FAKE news media will not apologise for possibly ruining these young mens lives.
Not reporting the BAD history reports on the native American and the 5 blacks.

The company I work for just recently moved into what is technically my office.  A very nice, newly renovated space, and I keep getting asked when I'm going to start working at the office again . . .

My office is in a building with like 5 other tenants and over the weekend somehow a random dude got into the building lobby and pooped and peed a bunch in the elevator and then tore the elevator up and then pooped and peed all over it again. He was found passed out in a second floor hallway this morning.

There were a bunch of police and paramedics in the parking lot when I got here. I'm always the last into the office in the morning, so luckily just hearing about it, though the elevator had not been cleaned up yet. The lobby smells like doodoo.

How do you know he pooped/peed, then tore up the elevator, then pooped and peed again? Could he have pooped a good one at the beginning and then took care not to disturb some of the poo during the demolition?

Also, it is incredibly rare that I have to poop while I'm drinking. Lucky for me, I suppose, considering bar bathroom typical condition.

hey gang didn't want to yuck up chum1s office thread but I just have this thing I need to share. Its about this guy in my office...we'll call him Ted. Ted has 2 modes: super happy or super mopey. There is rarely anything in between.

Ted has had relationship troubles in the past. He is twice divorced. My guess as to why Ted has relationship troubles is because he does not have any real friends in his life so he is very lonely and also a completely unconfident loser. His feelings are very fragile. If he ever receives criticism for his work he takes is like a personal attack.

Despite the fact that my office is generally very light-hearted and we joke around a lot, nobody jokes with Ted anymore b/c if anyone does he pouts and gets very bent out of shape and takes it personally no matter how innocent or playful the comment. For example, the week before memorial day we had friday off to make it a 4 day weekend, so it was already a short week. At some point during the week one of our younger folks was playing with snapchat and going around using that filter to take pictures of all the boys as girls and girls as boys. ha ha how neat. So she gets around to Ted and get a pic of him with the girl filter on, of course it looks silly and people laugh (just as they have laughed at literally everyone else's photos) and Ted just sits there brooding for the rest of the afternoon. He later confides in one of my co-workers that it was, professionally speaking, the worst week of his life, that he felt like nobody respected him. It was a 4 day week and nothing else remarkable had happened that week - like none of his projects were going poorly, he didn't have any stressful deadlines, it was just an otherwise quiet 4 day week at the office and it was the worst week of his life.

Title: Re: Hilarious Things At Your Office
Post by: BIG APPLE CAT on June 04, 2019, 02:46:14 PM
anyway, the following week (also short since monday was memorial day) Ted was going to be out of the office in Florida to do a facility assessment. Before leaving for Florida he mentioned to a co-worker that, despite his crappy week, his weekend was okay because he had a good date with a girl...took her to a baseball game and things seem to have gone well.  Ok good, at least the worst week of his life was followed by a good 4 day weekend and then he'll be in florida so maybe when he gets back he'll be in a better mood.

Well, we don't hear much from Ted while he's in Florida, but when he gets back Friday night his facebook is lit. That girl that he went on 1 date with and then he left town to florida...well purported they are now boyfriend and girlfriend. Ted could not be happier. His FB statuses all weekend are just gushing about how amazing she is and how spoiled he is etc etc.

At some point she got him some stupid <engineer joke> coffee mug. hur hur. he could not be more proud, I'm not sure he has set that thing down yet this week, just walks around with it directly below his chin at all times.
Title: Re: Hilarious Things At Your Office
Post by: BIG APPLE CAT on June 04, 2019, 02:54:57 PM
or collective curiosity is piqued. We want to know about this lady.  Well, turns out she, too, is also twice divorced. Her first marriage she had a child. I am not sure how old the child is i just know the child exists and lives primarily with the father. Her second marriage...well, her second marriage STARTED JUNE 2nd 2018 and ended later in 2018. From what we have gathered, he was not abusive and he is still alive and well. Looking at her facebook, there are a bunch of photos of her and husband 2 from from 6/2/18 up until about 12/15/18 and then they just stop.

Now, lads, I am in no place to judge people for getting divorced. I didn't get right on my first try. But what i did do after the first marriage was take a hard look at myself and figure out what i wanted/needed in a relationship and it made me more cautious before jumping into the next one. I'd like to think i grew from the experience.

Anyway, now I have Ted sitting 15 feet away from me, going all in on a girl he's known for slightly over a week, and they have 4 divorces between them.

he'll aim between the eyes. Here's the part of the story that makes me so uneasy. Ted is an ex marine. And Ted also has PTSD like he has to leave early some days to go to counselling and he is very much a gun enthusiast. I have not personally gone shooting with him but other coworkers have any they tell me he is a crack shot so on the bright side, when then relationship eventually goes to absolute crap (and it will) at least i won't suffer it will be swift.

i doubt he would ever admit that he listens to country though he likes to put on his headphones and whisper sing-a-long to his deathmetal*

*probably not actually death metal but i'm not a music snob and i don't understand what differentiates the different sub-genres of metal music i just know that in general the singers are shouting something unintelligible to the untrained ear that sounds like they are doing a cookie monster impression.

Only like 14 people have to farm to feed the whole world now, and they just press a button to tell their GPS combine to turn around at the end of the field.  We have Tom, Ben ji's dad, and sd's dad, so that is almost 1/4 of the world's farmers.

I know of a dude that sits in his GPS combine and chugs a 30 pack like daily.  Seems problematic but also probably how I would deal with being a farmer.

we have considered this. like a few of us went to lunch when he was in florida to have an earnest discussion about how likely he is to kill himself and possibly others. The hard part is that our HR is pretty much complete trash. I'm sure like most HR departments they don't really exist the protect or provide assistance to the employees but rather to protect the company from any legal action being taken against the company. So basically nobody ever says anything to HR b/c they immediately turn it into a chess game to ensure the company is clear of any liability rather than dealing with the actual issue.

Lucky for us, Ted loves talking about himself and is a very active facebook user so we are vigilant to check fb every morning because if he is going to do something its pretty much guaranteed that he would post something cryptic and mysterious beforehand.

active shooter = no action loser
step 1) approach suspect
step 2) engage in discussion of a shared interest
step 3) continue discussion while moving towards suspect while getting into a disarm stance
step 4) disarm suspect
step 5) call the pigs
step 6) tell suspect he has 2 minutes to gtfo before pigs arrive
step 7) don’t tell the pigs anything.  snitches get stitches
step 8) if you see suspect out at bars, buy him a couple shots so he’s happy and won’t do it again

Not to step on clams' toes but I know a pretty good steven seagal move that works every time.  Make sure they are close enough so you can reach the gun then you (really quickly) slap the back of their hand with one hand and the front of their forearm with the other hand.  It will make the gun fly across the room and then you throw them over a table or through a window or something.  Also before you try this move make sure they aren't holding onto the gun too tightly.

should you be looking for some sort of gap between their hand and the gun, or just looking to see if their hand isn't clenched around the firearm?  also, what if the perp notices you staring at their hand/gun as you inch closer to them, what should you do?

I just look for white knuckles.  The saying at my dojo is:  If their knuckles are white, they are holding the gun too tight (so don't try the steven seagal move)

ok, the gun is being held too tight, the perp notices you staring at said gun and says, "hey man, why are you looking at my gun, are you gonna try something tough guy?" then points the gun at your balls.  now what?

seagal?  why not use the same disarm stance that Violin (played by McConaughey) used to disarm the supermax prison guard?

Great stuff from everyone. Lucky me i'm kind of at that "sweet spot" in life where i have enough friends starting new chapters in their lives and makin chillens. I should be able to get - at minimum - a 5 baby rotation so i can just bring a baby in to work every day. I also have some friends that are currently pregnant so by the time these 5 get too big I should be able to start phasing them out.

Bonus: with all this free childcare i'm providing i will be able to cash that in if i ever have any babies of my own and need a last minute sitter.

but you guys i am burying the lede here...ted never gave anyone an update on the "personal matters he had to attend to" yesterday. Someone tried to text him about it and he gave them the exact same response as what his email said.  Playing it suspiciously close to the vest.

Little movement on facebook over the last 24 hours. He is at work today, looking a little red like he might have spent a little too much time outdoors yesterday.

We have confirmation that his girlfriend is a teacher. Nobody has been able to confirm this as of yet, but we have strong reason to suspect that the reason he took the day off yesterday...was to help move his girlfriend in to his house. We are working tirelessly to try to confirm, but definite rumblings they could be officially cohabitating.

i don't deserve an explanation, i just really want one.  Its very out of character of him to take a day off w/o providing notice. And he overshares everything.  He will bully his way into a conversation and talk/shout over everyone to share some stupid detail about his weekend that didn't really have anything to do with anything. So for him to go from constant non-stop overshare when nobody asked, to suddenly curt and guarded when someone did ask, is very out of character.

if we had any felons in our office i would be amazed.  before they will even interview you, you have to submit to a background check by some 3rd party company they retain for the sole purpose of running background checks and they are very thorough.  So, either we have ppl working here who have very good explanations for their prior convictions or we don't have any convicted felons.

if he was arrested for heroin im pretty sure that is a felony (just checked and yep)

Less than 1 grams is a level 4 felony
1 to 3.5 grams is a level 3 felony
3.5 to 100 grams is a level 2 felony
100 grams or more is a level 1 felony

Post by: BIG APPLE CAT on June 10, 2019, 11:37:45 AM
this guy is fascinating, id like to know more about just his background

i think what it boils down to mostly is that -- due to his awkward social graces and extreme insecurity -- he has a hard time forming meaningful relationships (romantic or otherwise) and so he's just really lonely. I think he formed some lasting bonds with the guys he was in the marines with but they are all scattered across the country these days.

He does not seem to have any real friends that he hangs out with in person. Whenever he mentions his "friends" they are like - no joke - just other bar regulars. Like they don't make plans to meet up at the bar they just go there because they were going to do that anyway and these are about the most meaningful in person relationships he has.

I know nothing about his first marriage, but i've gathered that part of the reason his second marriage had problems was because his dad moved in with him at some point and having his dad and his wife all living under the same roof put considerable strain on the marriage and it ultimately didn't work out. I also know that he really wants kids.

I've only known Ted for about a year and a half, and this is the first time since last summer that he has been in relationship mode.  Last summer was not dissimilar - he started dating a girl, he wouldn't STFU about her non-stop for like 3 weeks, she eventually was like holy crap this guy is way too clingy and ghosted him and that was the end of that.

IMHO, the weirdest thing about Ted is how ridiculously insecure he is. this.man.cannot.take.a.joke. at all. heaven help us if someone just randomly broke out into that name game song from the 60s or whatever -- they'd get around to ted ted fo fed, banana fana fo fed, me mi mo med, Ted! and he would just sit there pouting and brooding for the rest of the day feeling as though he had been personally attacked.

not on the spectrum, or at least not diagnosed.  But some of his behavior is consistent so who knows.

I do know that he has PTSD from his time as a marine, but i'm also very curious about that because i know he was never in any sort of hostile/combat situation so i'm wondering what aspect of his training/service resulted in him having PTSD.

PTSD is tricky, i have it but had some combat. I know guys that have separation anxiety which is classified as PTSD so that also could have affected him. Ted is a tricky case just going off what youve said he acts like.

I get the impression that he is in "his element" when he is with his marine brothers. From what I gather from FB, when he updates his status (constantly) its usually the same handful of guys that like/comment and they appear to be his marine bros.  I think he would much rather travel in packs than be on his own

we do, but i think his crippling anxiety gets the better of him. last year our party was at a reception hall and he pretty much just stood around quietly the whole time, didn't say much, and then made the irish exit around 10:00. (Event didn't officially end until midnight but usually the boss is feeling festive and ppl are kind of expected to go to a nearby bar for after party until the bar closes) I believe he is a totally different person when he is in more comfortable environs.

some interesting developments from yesterday that I was not expecting.

Near the end of the day yesterday another co-worker asked him: so what are your plans tonight? hanging out with your girlfriend?

He lowered his voice and his response was stern but calm. Said she was going to stay at her house tonight, see her dogs which she hasn't seen in a while. He also mentioned something about her daughter.  Something to the effect of she is still getting used to the idea of her mom dating. Not that she had a problem with him personally, just the concept in general. He also tacked on to that saying that "he aint even worried" and also said that he thought he had been making a good impression with her daughter.

So, that was all interesting. De-bunked our theory that they had moved in together. Also learned that her daughter is a bigger part of her life than I had originally anticipated.  I mean, that all makes sense like unless mom has a really bad drug problem or something like that it would just make sense that the mother is very much a part of the child's life.

But from how much time they had been spending together over the last couple weeks i couldn't imagine that she was spending any time at all with her daughter.  Who knows...maybe dad had the kiddo for a couple weeks or something.

next week i think will be the watershed moment of the relationship. Despite his protests, Ted has to go back to Florida to do another assessment for the entire week.  One of two things will happen it will either naturally pump the brakes on this otherwise runaway train of a relationship and maybe establish some level of balance...or the sudden loss of momentum will result in his anxiety spiraling out of control.

Basically right now this feels like we have 3 red squares and 2 blue squares. Weekend trip for the birth of the niece is going to make it 4 red squares. I'm not sure if Ted having to go to Florida for a week is going to be adding or subtracting blue squares. i really dont.

New record, estimated $1.5 million in annual salaries (before at risk) on a conference call to discuss the waiver of a signature on a $275 a month order (big customer overall and they're all worried they may not pay if they don't sign for this order).

2 people from legal and 2 from finance, a sales director and an ops director.   Everybody tossing it back and forth afraid to make the call.

man, was really hoping for a more eventful weekend. Did not post a thing about the birth of the g/f's niece.  Now Ted is on his way to Florida for a week but maybe he will go crazy w/ FB status updates.  Only real event to come out of the weekend that i am aware of is that they both have the same profile photo (weird/gross) and also she wished him a happy (dog) father's day. you know, because he owns dogs.

now that they have the same profile pic we are assuming its just a matter of time before they have a joint email account.

what if Ted killed BAC?

he was in florida all last week and took today off. He was pretty quiet on social media over the week HOWEVER, some interesting developments from the weekend:

1) the g/f has a job interview TODAY for a position at a school close to his house. I don't know many teachers so I'm sure how rigorous the interview process is but i mean, presumably she could land a job teaching 3rd grade in his neck of the woods

2) her daughter's birthday was this weekend and Ted was there.  From what i understand her daughter is like, old enough to have graduated from high school. No idea how old the g/f is, Ted i think is either 35 or 36 and judging by photos she looks to be close to the same age so maybe she was really young when she had her daughter idk but either way Ted was invited to the birthday festivities.

I have a front row seat to an astounding contest involving a supervisor, two secretaries,and a police detective.  The supervisor tried to bone this detective for months, but her secretary beat her to the mark.  After the secretary landed the detective, the supervisor found out and started spreading rumors that the secretary was psycho, creating a horrible work environment for her.  She quit.

The next secretary was also an attractive female, who promptly seduced and boned the detective that was the apple of the supervisor's eye.  Supervisor found out, and it turns out this secretary is psycho too.  She had to go, and after the supervisor created a hostile environment for the second secretary, and she quit too.

How was this problem solved?  Third secretary is lesbian.

guys it was a mostly uneventful summer for Ted but i have some huge news...

First, a quick summary of the lesser events that happened since the last Ted update:
*Ted's gf (we will call her Nikki) did, in fact, get the teaching gig at the school near Ted's house
*She has since officially moved in. No word on if she was able to sell her house or what her plans were for it.
*They now have a family cell phone plan that Ted pays for. This plan includes Ted, Nikki, and Nikki's 20 yr old daughter who works at Hooters. Still unclear whether or not the daughter has moved in under Ted's roof as well, but best intelligence we have suggests she does not live there but does spend a lot of time there.
*Yes, katdaddy, Nikki's daughter does actually work at Hooters and no, I have not seen her i have no idea if she is  :fatty:

okay, now for the huge news, you guessed it...this past weekend TED AND NIKKI GOT ENGAGED. This is a bit later than I had originally expected, although still well within the margins of "this is going to end in a supernova disaster"

correct. Around april Ted was vaguely mentioning some dates he'd been on with girls he'd met via bumble and i think tinder. Mostly just venting frustration that a lot of girls on there just accept a date b/c they want a free dinner etc etc. Around Memorial Day he got a little more specific about Nikki...not 100% that she was one of the girls he had gone out with in April but good chance she was.  Basically things really started to pick up around memorial day.

Booger problem in men's restroom

Guys,

We have a problem with folks picking their nose while using the facility and wiping the boogers on the tile above the urinals in the men’s restrooms.  Kleenex works well for this issue.  Every month the facilities guys clean/remove the boogers when they do their regular scheduled rest room check.  I’m sorry for this ridiculous mass email but this activity needs to stop. We would appreciate your cooperation with this matter.  Have a good day. Thank You. 


Where do you work?  Gross Toddler inc.?
Apparently I do. I've never noticed any myself, so I guess kudos to the facilities guys for keeping it clean. I'm betting its like one guy. I bet he's beaming with pride today.
So this popped into my head today. After I posted this, I got an email from some upset level dude. It was sent reportedly to anyone that forwarded the original email. Yes, they had IT determine who forwarded the email. Anyway, in the email from this dude, he was more embarrassed that people let this little secret out than he was there was someone that wiped their boogers in the wall. Yes, it's worse to talk about a booger wiper than to be a booger wiper. Tempted to just post this guy's name and company just to be petty, but I won't.

Also at this place, some higher level dude negligently left a bag of guns laying around for someone to find (and someone did). It got swept under the rug pretty quickly and details were kept quiet, but nobody got fired.

I no longer work there BTW.

My wife has had 3 meetings and will have at least two more about a 10 minute presentation/slide deck. Not me, but I find this hilarious.

She didn’t think it was that funny.

It is crazy, but I do think that the culture of meetings in these places is completely insane and could easily be fixed.

Sad thing is ppl call these work meetings when everyone knows in the back of their minds they'll just bullshit meetings that have no purpose.

Theory: it takes a certain kind of person to send read receipt requests with literally every email.
I’ve never once sent a read receipt and those that request them should be tarred and feathered in the town square

I can say with 100% certainty that I would not irl like a person that sends read receipt requests on emails.

That is sociopath behavior
I have a person who regularly sets his email importance level set to red exclamation point which is also sociopath behavior

There is a guy that just started about a month ago. He looks like he could comfortably wear a size M polo shirt, but I swear all of his are XXL. He's like the MC Hammer of polo shirts.

At work this past week there were snacks in the break room and only had lukewarm concession nacho cheese, but there was a bottle of Tapatio. So I hit the tortillas with the Tapatio.

This guy sees it and asks me “is that a detroit thing?”

I think it's funny to respond to pretty mundane emails with 'oh hell yeah', every once in a while.  Like the other day someone emailed me that they had shared a google Doc with me.

It's hilarious to me but I don't know if anyone else thinks it is or they might just think I'm weird.

I started a new job in the middle of last year, and it's not a job that I've ever intended on staying for a long period of time, so I've put zero effort into getting to know people or introducing myself, so whenever I talk to someone new, I give them a different name every time.  It's my own fun little game.

Would be fun to give them your real name, but then make up different "but my friends call me" names.

i just skip that part!  i introduced myself as James to someone yesterday, and Steven today.  Neither of those names are even close to me name.  It makes me laugh inside.  :ROFL:

My BFF from kstate is retiring at the end of this month after 30+ years with the same company.  It is a huge company.  Today they had his retirement lunch.  This evening he texted me this...

Funny retirement lunch story. Sitting around telling stories and three guys I don't recognize stroll in. They grab some food and sit down. One of them asks "where is the man of the hour." I say that's me.  They respond, we are in the wrong room. There was another retirement luncheon across the hall.

Now the really funny kicker. One of them signed my retirement picture. Happy retirement Greg.

My friends name is David.
