Hilarious Things At Your Office

[chum1]

People are buying tickets to micro wrestling.

That’s the most hipster thing ever right?  No?

[puniraptor]

i think more bro than hipster. unless they are buying and going ironically, then hipster

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!

Goodness. Sounds like an excellent arrangement.

I am SUPER hungover from micro wrestling last night. I saw a coworker's boobs. She's like the VP of Finance or whatever.

[IPA4Me]

Well that's a twist.

I bet the boob showing VP of finance is not having a very good morning.

I'm pretty certain he works for the Cincinnati Dunder Mifflin branch office.

For chum's sake, let's hope not.

Ok, I didn't think it had to be said, but SOME kind of background seems to be in order here.

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 had lunch with a girl in finance today. She was all offended because the CEO owner guy frequently does things like come and have them make out a check using $25,000 of company money for his own, personal use.

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.

I was in a band in high school and we called ourselves "subtly headbanging"

I worked for a Fortune 100 company two jobs ago. My last two jobs at small, private companies have been FAR more enjoyable in pretty much every way.

Man, I want to do that.  I need to be grateful for what I have right now tho.  My job probably won’t exist in its current form in 10 years (maybe less) due to AI and offshore pressures....I should just make as much as I can for as long as I can, I guess.

He's moved all of his stuff out of the conference room. They're not going to let me stay in here all by myself for much longer.

Moving to a cube or getting a new roommate?

Have you made eye contact at the office with the CFO since you saw her tits?
