If I knew where Rusty worked, I'd pay one of his colleagues to send him gifs where "LSU just fuckingkilled it again" and ask him if wants hit up that Dane Cook show in town. And everytime Rusty didn't laugh or agree to go, he'd say "whoa, easy there, princess. We'll wait for a week when you're not on the rag."
I would actually enjoy this, tremendously. I think I've mentioned my coworker from Indiana who is just full of ridiculous quips all day. I've actually been toying with the idea of a twitter account, but that would be kind of mean. Examples:

Hey Indiana, you going to go watch the space shuttle fly by today from our gorgeous rooftop deck?

Nope. I've seen one before, and I've actually been in one before. At the 1984 World's Fair.

yeah. i also really enjoyed him absolutely shooting down rusty's idea of rooftop space shuttle viewing because he's already seen one. it's like "are you some kind of idiot michigan cat? i've already seen one of those so why in the world would i ever want to see another one again? idiot!"

The 1984 World's Fair featured the "Enterprise" shuttle, which never actually flew in space. It was never outfitted for space flight, either.
"Endeavour" flew in 25 manned space missions.

Also, agree with Saul that Enterprise is kind of a bullshit shuttle.
so the guy that grew up near the cosmosphere wants to wax like he's some kind of space shuttle expert? i've really seen it all now. might want to stick to just talking about the packaged dry ice cream that they used to sell in the gift shop because really at the end of the day the cosmosphere is a complete joke and not even a good one at that. like a knock knock one or something but with the punchline not even making sense.

I hate to be a one-upper, but my coworker worked for an auto race instructor at some track around here which gave him access to racing lessons. His teacher said he was one of the best he'd ever seen, but his son couldn't get along with the instructor and left. His son was also a pretty elite high school hockey player in Indiana before moving here.

If I had an 11 year old who could throw 91, I would be doing exactly the same thing. Unfortunately for her, there is greater than a 91% chance that she is full of crap and her son can't even break 60 mph.

i know a guy here (in kansas) that will buy a random decent used car, say 15k or so, then drive it down to his family in mexico where they sell it for nearly double value, then he flys back up here. and does it again in a few weeks.

He's constantly bitching about it. Granted, he has a home that's paid off a block from the beach, kids in private school in Mex, but he spends 3-5 hours a day waiting in lines wondering if his car is going to be torn apart and it just keeps getting worse. He's a mess.

I usually set my can of soup down, while i clean my bowl from the previous day. While i was doing this, the head of HR came in and was fixing soup too. Apparently we brought the same brand of soup because while im busy cleaning my bowl and look over and see her opening my can of Loaded Potato with Bacon. :sdeek: I notice she was looking at the can kind of weird, but kept going. Looking at the end of the counter, i notice a can of some Santa Fe chicken Light crap...

Wouldn't you want to go ahead and clean it after using it? Where does one keep a dirty soup bowl overnight at the work place?

Ha ha, the conversation actually started because I mentioned I was reading a library book about the Vietnam war. I mentioned how the Vietnamese people had basically been fighting some version of our war with them for like a thousand years and he starts talking about south vietnamese hate the north vietnamese and the mass murder thing.

For those of you who have never traveled to the west, or southwest, cattle guards are horizontal steel rails placed at fence openings, in dug-out places in the roads adjacent to highways (sometimes across highways), to prevent cattle from crossing over that area. For some reason the cattle will not step on the "guards," probably because they fear getting their feet caught between the rails.
A few months ago, President Obama received and was reading a report that there were over 100,000 cattle guards in Colorado . The Colorado ranchers had protested his proposed changes in grazing policies, so he ordered the Secretary of the Interior to fire half of the "cattle" guards immediately!
Before the Secretary of the Interior could respond and presumably try to straighten President Obama out on the matter, Vice-President Joe Biden, intervened with a request that ... before any "cattle" guards were fired, they be given six months of retraining for Arizona border guards. 'Times are hard', said Joe Biden, 'it's only fair to the cattle guards and their families!'
I mean, I actually think he thought it was real.
Oh, he also told me the Dow was going to lose 90% of his value this year, and he knows this because George Soros and Warren Buffet are unloading bank stocks.

If somebody came up and high fived me after every sale they made I would high five them right back and then go pound some brewskies with them in celebration. We would be pretty wasted by noon every day between my sales and the other guy's sales.

Not a quote, but I don't know of a better place to put this:
Someone who works on the shop floor is having a confederate flag themed wedding, including a tiered confederate flag cake with beer cans as the pillars holding up the tiers.
Are you going?
No
Any chance we can talk you into it? Bet you can drink a crap load of canned beer and post some cool pics.

Wear a confed flag shirt one day and tell her "Southern Pride" - Invite will be on your desk the next day

Crushing suds with people from work is the best part about working.
The great thing about happy hours here are that we usually have them for people shipping out at the end of their tour, so you get tons of great repressed gossip about co-workers.

Best thing about ninja would be when you're with someone when they turn they're eyes just for a second and then look back, BAM, you're already gone.
or you changed into a pirate outfit real quick and you're pounding grog and they're looking around like a dumbass

I was :dubious: because the obvious answer is ninja. I thought everyone knew this but apparently not.
Pirates have upward mobility within their organization/industry. Ninjas are always gonna be regular old ninjas. Sure, you may be able to jumpkick high, but that ninja glass ceiling is always gonna be their to make sure that your jumpkick isn't too high.
Haven't you ever heard of a ninja master?

that's a great idea. once each poster is assigned a color, goEMAW will mail them their respective colored belt which they then must wear while bbs'ing on this webpage. if a poster levels up or down, they must surrender their old belt (in like new condition) and goEMAW will mail them their new poster identification belt.

So there can't be a black belt because there are black people in the world? :confused:
How can you have a ninja belt ranking system if nobody is a black belt?
anyway here's some more great examples
white belt: waks (just the worst)
yellow belt: scottwildcat (short fuse is a classic yellow belt trait)
orange belt: jtksu (says "dude" a lot / rambles)
green belt: Nuts Kicked / ellrobersonisinnocent / raquetcat, etc (promising, but maybe hasn't found his/her "voice" yet)
blue belt: wacky (sort of like too fast to live, too young to die type thing going on here, except in this case, it's too moody to be an upper echelon poster and too prolific to be a shitty poster)
purple belt: dlew (his love of KSU could never be questioned, but at times this holds him back from true posting greatness)
red belt: dax, michigancat, etc (the Mariano Rivera of posters in that he only does one thing, but dammit if he isn't the absolute greatest ever at it)
brown belt: daris/clams/lsoc, etc (versatile, quick trigger finger, extremely knowledgeable on a wide range of topics, with a posting style that demands your attention, and a voice that needs no introduction. these are your brown belts)
black belt: steve dave (42,000 rough ridin' posts you guys)

Is an orange belt big enough for use while deer hunting or will I need to include a hat with my ensemble?
Wear it as a headband and you would be fine.

Really, your company should be embarrassed for not providing cream, wackysquawk. I drink my coffee black, but making employees buy their own cream seems kind of cheap.They do, that's the weird thing.

At the top of the email was a giant confederate flag. At the bottom was a picture of her and her fiancee, him in Larry The Cable Guy, sleeveless type shirt with it unbuttoned down to his stomach and a confederate flag hat.
Did she ask supervisors to please post for employees without computer access?

Hello All!
Not sure why this is a problem but in almost all of the collaboration areas with the blue boards the markers I ordered are now missing. The neon markers are more expensive or I would have ordered them for everyone b/c they are super cool and fun. I will not order more for now so you guys will just have to miss out on the fun neon boards because someone stole your cool markers to hoard them for themselves (selfish). We are all adults. Silently return the markers and there will be no serious punishment.

Just because it doesn't offend you or roughnecks doesn't mean it isn't offensive. (And you're being a bit presumptuous about what other people find offensive.) I wouldn't be upset about it, but I know some people would. And I'd likely have a problem with it if I was his boss.
The fact that this guy said it in a context where someone questioned whether or not it was offensive means he probably shouldn't be saying it, especially in a management role.

Had a divorce settlement conference, we were four hours in and had most of the issues resolved. We were discussing holiday visitation with the kids and Easter came up. My client, mom, says she wants easter weekend every year. Dad and his attorney call bullshit and they want to split it every other year. Mom starts to lose her cool and I am trying to calm her down explaining how such a split is customary and then she blows her top.
She stands and yells, "you are a rough ridin' jew, you don't celebrate Easter. You are just trying to be a controlling rough ridin' bad person, this whole deal is off and I know you have another 401K that you are trying to hide. rough ridin' stingy jew." Then she left.
Opposing counsel then asks his client if he is really jewish.

However, she thought the lyrics were "motherfucking V.I.P.". I asked her what song she was singing and she replied with, "50 Cent's P.I.M.P". I then turned around and walked away.

when i worked construction, i think i was the only one that didn't drink beer on the drive home (i was also the only one that didn't have a 30minute+ drive home because construction workers only live in podunk towns apparently)
"Yeah, but you can't get drunk off beer"
Actual quote from CNSBoss when I was a painter in HS. The guy said it to a customer when she noticed his Big Gulp cup was full of beer that morning as they looked over our progress so far.
It was approx 9am.

Had an amazing journey through "you won't believe this but" baby name stories with a group of nurses. Orangejello and Lemonjello, La-a and Shithead all made an appearance.

No but did get a "feather not dot" Rain Cloud shout out. Also had a great moment when one nurse asked the other in the middle of the shithead story "was it an Asian, you know an oriental family?" Maybe she thought they were a family of misspelled mushrooms.

Old White Man: I think it may be a cultural difference, in some cultures, south of here...They have people to clean stuff and they believe its below them, the cleaning people will clean. Its a cultural thing.
Old White Secretary: I don't know what you mean. We don't have many mexicans that work here. We have some from Ecuador, but not Mexico.
Old White Man: Well, its the same, I believe its cultural, some cultures....South of here....believe that they are above cleaning up after themselves. They have "People" For that and they wont do it.
Old White Secretary: Well they need to clean up their own messes. I don't care if its their culture back home, if you make a mess clean it up.
Old White Man: I agree, it may be okay....south of here....but if they make a mess they need to clean it up. (Ramp Manager) needs to know it may be acceptable where he is from, but its not here. It's cultural.

Babies can get diaper rash yeast infections if they are on antibiotics. The antibiotics kill the good bacteria along with the bad and it allows the yeast to show up when it would otherwise be consumed by the good bacteria in the baby's system. Yeast grows in warm, wet places like diapers and vauhjes if unchecked. Something like that.

So this week she had to leave early once and now today (Friday, again) she called in sick because she got whatever the kid had. So either kids are the best excuse ever to get out of multiple days of work OR it sucks having kids because they get you really sick a lot.

Daycare is pretty shitty about the whole situation in my experience. I mean they get your kids rough ridin' sick and then won't let you bring them in until they're better, yet still charge you for when they're out. They have all the leverage though. Like if we threw a fit about it, they would tell us to eff off and give our spots to somebody else on the waiting list.

:dunno:
Post by: michigancat on August 31, 2015, 04:30:20 PM
A senior manager and BFF of company owner asked me for a report to send to a client. I only had partial info, so I asked for clarification on the additional info from her. The info I got was completely unhelpful. And I independently discovered that supplying a thorough report is something she may not want to do. So, here's the thing. I don't know if she is intentionally trying to obfuscate the truth or she just isn't aware of a mistake made by someone else in my company.

Right now, I'm thinking that I may try to say that I don't think the client will be satisfied with the report as is, which is true, and try to feel out the situation a little further.

A senior manager and BFF of company owner asked me for a report to send to a client. I only had partial info, so I asked for clarification on the additional info from her.

That position is currently open and she is sort of my boss in the interim, but not completely.

No. It's also possible that there was never a mistake and only deception from her from the beginning.
Post by: slobber on August 31, 2015, 05:05:45 PM
"How thorough do you want this report to be? I just want to know before I dive into this tonight and tomorrow."This is really the question. Look, I don't know how old you are, but you don't want to work at a place that makes you lie to keep your job. Ask her the question. If she wants you to be thorough, then be thorough. If she says she just wants a brief recap, then keep it brief, but include something that vaguely references your concern, but you don't have to spell it out.
If you get fired next week, tell them thanks. Get a different job that doesn't make you feel uncomfortable.

but she doesn't necessarily know that chum1 knows she is trying to feign ignorance. So he could feign ignorance in kind. Worst case (in her eyes) is her evil(?) plot(?) is innocently foiled. Or she just says, "yeah, give me the report as is".

For all I know, there's a good reason for a scheme. And, assuming there is a scheme, she thinks it has value. Otherwise, she wouldn't do it. So, she'd be losing something she values.

Not any more than absolutely necessary.

NEW DEVELOPMENT! I was out this morning. Just got in and saw an email from the client asking her VERY SPECIFICALLY for the info they want which she seems not to want to give them. My dilemma is gone.
You should walk over to her desk and say "So, did you see the email from [client}?" :fatty:

UPDATE!!! My coworker/"boss" sent me an email to proceed with the report she wants even after the client specifically requested more! She didn't mention the client email at all. So, I guess it is her intention to be shady and I'll just give her what she's asking for. Whatever.
i mean the plus is that you have some "dirt" on her if you ever need it.
