Office Annoyances

[Dehalo212]

Yep, I'm at work....enough said.

[Nick@Night]

Apparently we have two new temps starting today, I really hope there's truly a reason we need them.

[Nick@Night]

Brilliant, the temps I mentioned above don't even have computers at their desks, we're paying them to read through the post-closing manual. Money well spent.

[pathetic]

haha nice

i have facilities near my desk taking their sweet ass time taking down the xmas tree and they are blabbing about the holiday...annoying!!!!!

[CrushLive]

office pools (that i run)...where people claim they've paid.

[CrushLive]

my boss not responding to emails.

[rconverse]

I'm stuck working with this pricing analyst who knows nothing about creating/running queries or utilizing Microsoft Excel. Fun times. :BANG

[crushMe814]

i can't stand this bimbo in my department that we hired about 2 months ago. she is seriously the dumbest person i have ever worked with and whenever she talks i can just feel my ears bleeding. how do you ignore someone like this? i am so tempted to say something to my boss about her, but i want to keep my job and get a good review haha

I got in trouble today for not telling my boss somebody sucked at their job.

We should compare notes. I swear to God I supervise the most incompetent person on the planet. It's a good thing she is 4 hours a way from me, or I would have snapped by now.

[crushMe814]

Just mess with her. Make good use of your time with her... :lol

we do, it's actually very funny b/c she believes EVERYTHING! one of my co-workers told her today that she met Jared the subway guy at the subway in our town and saw a man wearing a viking hat at a jimmy john's. it was priceless. have any good suggestions? :)

4 hours away?

[dmbmuskie]

4 hours away?

It sounds strange but it's true. We have an onsite location at a customer's facility, and it is just her and a truck driver/warehouse guy.

[Nick@Night]

I think we're up to 8 or 9 temps now, yet I'm told the budget for the department is pretty tight and the potential raises will be minimal. Great.

[JTR&PIG]

I work with a man who still thinks poop staches are in

[Nick@Night]

What the hell is a poop stache?

[Beefsteak1138]

Like a dirty sanchez?

[JTR&PIG]

What the hell is a poop stache?
a poop stache is similar to a 70s porn star moustache just thick and looks awful like it was plucked out of a 70's movie

[JTR&PIG]

for me it is a personal hatred of getting screamed at 9:15 right when you walk through the door and get cursed out about a mistake then you try and fix it and they want you to do something else....ugh i can't stand that

[pathetic]

my boss is a dick...

killing my high

[dmbgodagirl41]

Nothing is more annoying than being asked questions/being yelled at when you still have your coat on. FTL.

[Nick@Night]

I love the way this place "celebrates" the trivial holidays of the year. Got a small cupcake with a shitload of green frosting on top (I wonder what that signifies?). Where's the booze, you fucking scoundrels?

[JTR&PIG]

Nothing is more annoying than being asked questions/being yelled at when you still have your coat on. FTL.
especially by a man with a poopstache...i can't stand that

[JTR&PIG]

i hate when your trying to leave and you boss is giving you shit. I cannot stand when they yell at you...you yell back, and they have the nerve to say "don't you yell at me."

[Nick@Night]

You got in an argument with your mom?

no my boss at work, read what I wrote

It was a joke, Howdy.

[JTR&PIG]

It was a joke, Howdy.
ah...well atleast you didn't say anyone else. I hate my boss...seriously he sucks

[Beefsteak1138]

Everyone's requests are "drop what you're doing and help me right now" urgent. :shrug

[Nick@Night]

Tell them your Beetus is acting up.

[JTR&PIG]

my boss has a poop stache and thinks he is god's gift to this earth.

[Nick@Night]

I hate where my desk is now, right by the fucking door to get in the place to all morning long I get to hear the churning of the revolving door as people shuffle in by the shitload.

[Beefsteak1138]

I hear you. I'm right by the kitchen/break room which has a Wii in it.

[Nick@Night]

Your breakroom has a Wii in it? Ours barely has a TV that works or vending machines.

[Beefsteak1138]

Your breakroom has a Wii in it? Ours barely has a TV that works or vending machines.

Actually, it's called the "Library". It has a bookshelf with a few trade magazines on, and Wii with two lazy-boy type seats.

[Nick@Night]

There's a lady who sits across the aisle from me that's been complaining about the people who walk by being distracting for her, she must bring it up everyday. Yet, she's spent the past half hour going on and on with someone at her desk all loud and annoying, which is a way bigger distraction to me than someone merely walking by. Shut. the. fuck. up.

[scrock25]

I hate it when co-workers come into my cube and just start fucking right on my desk.

[unccrombie]

I hate it when co-workers come into my cube and just start fucking right on my desk.
thats a cue to join in. take advantage

[crushMe814]

at least you don't sit right across from the women's bathroow and the break room. it is a constant smell of garbage and ass. women are gross!!

[JTR&PIG]

corporate accounts speaking...just a moment

[JTR&PIG]

now thats a fucking place to work :thumbsup

[Beefsteak1138]

Not really an annoyance, but just something I can't comprehend. One of my coworkers has worn the same sweater 4 days in a row now, I shit you not.

...for the sake of god, hope it was washed

[Beefsteak1138]

I have no idea. No joke, I think I've only seen him wear 3 different tops....2 different sweaters and one polo.

[Nick@Night]

I have no idea. No joke, I think I've only seen him wear 3 different tops....2 different sweaters and one polo.
I work with a guy as well who seems to rotate the same 3 outfits or so. I forget what I wear from one week to the next, but I actually notice his lack of change.

[scrock25]

I've still got the problem of people fucking on my desk.

[Shagadelic]

This old lady...she's a hypochondriac who walks around holding her side just waiting to be asked what's the matter. At our Thanksgiving luncheon last year she set out all her pill bottles at the top of her plate seeking some sort of attention, I sat on the other side of the conference room. Also another woman, who really doesn't do much, takes it upon herself to create a life altering situation about twice a week. Last week it was the 45 minutes search around the office for my Director. He was at lunch. The time before that it was a lecture on the necessity of keeping the blinds drawn so the poor people don't break in and steal what? Our fucking computers you dumb bitch.

I guess the long and short of it, is my co-workers!

[efraser77]

That one dude who's always listening to Dave Matthews.


Wait...

[mr. testaverde]

the socially awkward lady who sits in the desk next to mine, who cant hold a conversation with anyone unless its directly work related.

[JTR&PIG]

I have no idea. No joke, I think I've only seen him wear 3 different tops....2 different sweaters and one polo.
slip him a gift card to macy's or a store

[crounsa810]

Concerning the Sweater thing:

I have a calendar right next to a cup of colored pencils. Everyday I write down in the color of the shirt I'm wearing the type of shirt it is, then I don't wear it again for at least a week.

Now, as for my annoyance:

I don't work in an office, but I work in a library. I usually work on the one desk on Tuesdays, but one of my coworkers injured himself so he's out for awhile, so I have to do the desk work & HIS job too, which is putting the books away, which is fine. BUT today I go in & saw that the person who was putting the books away before me pretty much didn't do anything. Then I was told the woman who was on the desk before me was busy doing something else, so she didn't do everything that needed to be done upstairs. So, today I did 4 peoples work. Such joy. I can handle 3 peoples work, but the fact that the person putting the books away before me does the same thing EVERYday, I kinda wonder what she does instead


And yes, I realize that's not very well put together. It confuses even me now that I'm reading through it again.

Make that 5 days in a row now.

[scrock25]

[JTR&PIG]

Make that 5 days in a row now.
does she or he smell?

[crounsa810]

For real? That's a little psycho.

Yes. Yes it is. I just don't really want to be that guy that wears the same shirt seemingly all the time

[Beefsteak1138]

does she or he smell?

Not that I've noticed, but I don't have the best sense of smell. I also haven't been paying attention to his pants, but I know he's worn the same pair all this week so far.

The dude makes decent money, I assume. It's not like he can't afford new clothes.

maybe he is a cheapskate or something like that. Or he is cheap. How does he act when you get lunch does he offer to pay or does he bring his own?

[Beefsteak1138]

Only been out to lunch with him twice and each time the boss paid. I don't know if he usually brings his own or eats out.

While this may not be the case with your coworker, if I'm at a store and I find a sweater or cute shirt that fits me well and is a neutral color, I'll buy 1/2 a dozen of them....

of course I am also female and have an insane amount of clothing, so I never wear the same style shirt two days in a row, but whatever. Maybe it's the same case?

Yeah, I wondered if that was the case.

Do you buy the same color? I have a few of the same shirts, but I always vary the color.

[FellOffTheWagon]

Ummm yeah, the fat holes at my work insist on having a potluck every week. Then those monstrosities all cackle after how their husbands don't find them attractive anymore. Maybe it is all the tonnage that they have added by having the potlucks. Dumb bunts.

God bless.

I can't even begin to tell you about the fatness at my work.

[FellOffTheWagon]

I can't even begin to tell you about the fatness at my work.

And do not confuse this with pudginess.

[dmbgodagirl41]

Yeah, I wondered if that was the case.

I only buy the same color if that's the only shirt they have in the style, but yeah, generally I mix up the colors.

[dmbgodagirl41]

I can't even begin to tell you about the fatness at my work.

This is going to sound horrible, but I have recently noticed the LARGE shape of America in general. Every where I look, I see morbidly obese people. And I don't mean people who are a little chubby (heck, I'm no stick figure), I'm talking the people who huff-and-puff when they walk, their arms don't go straight down when they are standing still, and the people who seriously look uncomfortable just existing.

:shrug Makes me kind of sad.

[JTR&PIG]

most people love that operation where they reduce your stomach and you drop weight like none other. You just have the horrific stretch marks and severe wasting to deal with, when you take off your shirt. A second reason is why americans want the gastric bypass surgery to be covered by insurance and most doctors too...to make money on fatness

[JTR&PIG]

Only been out to lunch with him twice and each time the boss paid. I don't know if he usually brings his own or eats out.
you gotta do a little recon and get the dl on the guy and see if he is frugal.

[Beefsteak1138]

Just saw him, 6 days in a row now.

[FellOffTheWagon]

And when our office orders food, these fat messes RUN to the food table to get there first. They giggle like school girls too when the food arrives. As a matter of fact, the potluck table used to be next to my desk, but it was moved because I used to comment when people would go back for 2nd and 3rds.

Massive lulz!

And you have great usernamce. :thumbsup

[JTR&PIG]

a hint would be to leave a webpage on his computer with a picture of a new sweater or put it on his background on his computer

[FellOffTheWagon]

Ohhhhh you.

[Nick@Night]

I guess we're having a pot luck tomorrow, the annoying ball of sunshine bitch who used to sit across the wall from me before I moved desks keeps sending out e-mails for people to sign up to bring stuff (has been all week). I don't want to sit in a conference room with my co-workers, eating food and just feeling awkward as no one makes small talk because very rarely do we spend time as a group.

"Hey, Elsa, looking fatter than normal now that I get to see you up close...keep up the good work."

*grabs handful of potato salad because no one signed up to bring plates*

Ditto. If finally caved and signed up to bring macaroni salad, which of course I forgot so I have to run out to the store to buy some before lunch today.

[Beefsteak1138]

Today is casual day so I'm guessing he'll be wearing the same sweater with jeans instead of his usual pair of olive-colored khakis.

I didn't sign up, I haven't even looked at the list to see how many people are participating. If possible, I don't even want to go, just stay seated at my desk. But, as always, once it's time for the people to congregate, I'll get that one person who will go around seeing who is still at their desk and ask them if they're coming.

Person: "Hey, you coming?"
Me: "Oh, no, I didn't bring anything."
Person: "That's ok, there's plenty of stuff."
Me: "I'm not that hungry, it's fine. Really."
Person: "You should really come for a bit, everyone is in there."
Me: "If I had a grenade, yes, I would stop by long enough to pull the pin, evacuate, and slam the door behind me."
Person: "Great, see you there."

I never hang out at those things. I usually don't even sign up, I just sneak in, bogart some grub then head for the hills.

[Nick@Night]

I never hang out at those things. I usually don't even sign up, I just sneak in, bogart some grub then head for the hills.
That's tough to do for me because we hold it in a conference room that's not exactly moving around friendly, so me sneaking in is impossible because there's one door and everyone stares at you when you open it. Straight up leaving would make me look like more of a dick than I am for avoiding even going.

Edit: I can smell whatever someone brought in for this thing, I do not want to be smelling it all morning.

[Beefsteak1138]

Today is casual day so I'm guessing he'll be wearing the same sweater with jeans instead of his usual pair of olive-colored khakis.

Ding, ding, ding!! We have a winner!

For those keeping track, that's 7 days in a row wearing the same sweater.

[Nick@Night]

Ding, ding, ding!! We have a winner!

You should walk up to him and casually ask, "So, do you have an entire closet full of those the same way Homer Simpson does blue pants and white shirts, or are you a complete fucking dirt ball who sexually molests that shirt every night because you love it so much?"

[Beefsteak1138]

Someone is bringing pigs in a blanket to the lunch. Fucking score.

you should put a mark on it or something if he takes it off and see if it even gets washed...or put a tag on it...haha

[crushMe814]

Didn't see him yesterday so I'm not sure.

[Beefsteak1138]

I never thought I would see the day, but after a minimum of 7 days in the same sweater he is wearing something different.

next time i would recommend it, just to see if it is washed

[Nick@Night]

My manager sends out an e-mail today at 4:40 pm with an FYI that is supposed to be a casual week (never got the formal announcement that usually lets us know when it's happening). Come on, bitch, get your head out of your ass.

[JTR&PIG]

my boss has returned from his vacation and I am sad to say I am back to being depressed

[crushMe814]

i love when my boss tells me i have to work late and come in early this week to work on a very important project that needs to get done by the end of the week while she does jack shit all day and bitch about the project now being done yet. get off ur lazy ass and do something you bi-polar whore!

[JTR&PIG]

the thing that pisses me off most is my fucking pole smoking porn 70's poop stache retard boss talks he is an idiot and I want to punch in the face. I cannot stand his ass every time you feel good about yourself he brings you down...and he is supposed to be a boss...what a crock of shit!

[Beefsteak1138]

It's warmer out now so he's been wearing polos. I think he has 3 of them which he rotates.

[JTR&PIG]

No. He's getting married soon, so I'm pretty sure his fiancee has taken control of his wardrobe.

[Nick@Night]

Taking control of his testicles isn't enough?

At least in the wardrobe department, this guy needs all the help he can get.

She must be a patient woman.

So Friday is my last day in this god-forsaken division. Radiology on Monday! With that, my manager is being a total bitch to me, and sending me "friendly reminders" as though I 1. don't know about them or 2. haven't done them already. For example, I go an pick up paychecks every single week (and have for the past three years...so over 80 times), and she just sent me an email today CC'ing my boss, saying, "Katie: don't forget that you still work here until Friday and have to get the checks on Wednesday".

Really? I do? You mean that since my last day isn't until Friday and we get paid on Wednesday that I have to do what I have been doing for the past 3 god damned years?

She's gonna get a piece of my mind on Friday, I can feel it.

[Beefsteak1138]

Fuck you for not working for the beetus department anymore.

[dmbgodagirl41]

Fuck you for not working for the beetus department anymore.

I'm sorry!! :( I was getting laid off from the beetus department, so I had to move!

Apparently, helping to get 25 million bucks for anti-beetus research wasn't good enough. :shrug

corrected. ;)

Even if I did answer those phones, what if they were important beetus calls??!

[dmbgodagirl41]

Last week, I sent my manager this email (copied and pasted):

Hi Sharon:
I sent my parents a package using the FedEx account, so when you get the bill, just let me know and I can cut a check to JHU to pay for it. Fred said it was fine, and that it would be easier than me having to go to a FedEx station to do it.
~Katie

She wrote back that day:

Katie:
That should be okay. Glad you checked with Fred first to get approval.
Thanks
-skb

No joke, got this just now:
Hi Katie-
Could you let me know about a random FedEx bill I got saying you sent something to your parents? Did you get approval for this?????? We will need a check from you to JHU to pay this.
Thanks.
-skb

[scrock25]

Did you reforward her the email?

[dmbgodagirl41]

Did you reforward her the email?

Yeah, I made sure that when I responded, I copied and pasted the old conversation. I also CC'd my boss to give her a taste of passive aggressive medicine. He just came out of his office, rolled his eyes and said, "next week, we are so fucked".

[Nick@Night]

What a tard, it pains me that she has the same name as my mom who's not a tard.

My back faces a main “hallway” that leads to the exit so I have no privacy at all, I’d give anything to have more than 2 walls protecting me.
I guess my dream came true now that I have more than 2 walls now.

So i replaced a guy in our purchasing departments computer yesterday. His mouse and keyboard were completed trashed (like dirt/muck all over them) so I replaced them to. I come in today and this is an email he sent me:

Did you give me a new mouse? It seems that it takes twice as much effort to click. I would prefer the old one back.

Please advise

How lazy is that? I gave him a brand new mouse and keyboard and it apparently takes too much effort to move your finger slightly harder than before, wtf

He just sent me another email explaining about the massive amount of clicking the purchasing department does (as opposed to everyone else who doesn't click at all). He then told me to dig the old one out of the trash (definitely not going to happen)

:lol If I ever got an email like that, I'd lose it and die laughing.

Our IT guys here are awesome and have a great sense of humor. Last week, I submitted a request to be added to a couple groups in the email system, and when it was finished, one called me up to check and I said things were cool. Then, he told me that he had to go because he had to go teach someone how to turn on their computers. :lol to which he added "one of these days, i'm bringing them a gun claiming its a new CPU, and telling them the on/off button is the trigger, but it only works if pointing in their mouth".

hahahahahaha

[Styx Cover Band]

Well I just replaced the guys mouse. I'm not doing it again if he doesn't like it. I sent him an email to have him change the 'double click' sensitivity in the control panel but I received the following response:

Double click isn’t the issue but, I tried it and there is no difference
Problem is single clicks that require more effort

The guy who was doing it for the last year or so always had the soap filled, always had the paper towel dispenser filled, you never had to worry about that. All three soap dispensers in the bathroom are now completely empty, one of the paper towel dispensers is empty and the other is damn close. I just hate right now knowing guys that are cracking one off in the king of the castle stall can't wash their hands properly due to the lack of soap. Fuck this place.

[gregory311]

We have about a dozen printers in our office. More than enough to go around. One is a brand new BizHub 5500 for color printing only. The rank and file have to manually release projects but if a traffic manager does it from her desk and it requires a specific paper or paper size change, everyone else has to wait. This is usually the time when the traffic manager mysteriously disappears for a half hour while the rest of us get fucked.

On top of that, people send emails and word documents to it this specific printer. What the fuck? You can't send that shit to one of the eight other black and white printers? You need an email in color?

[JTR&PIG]

soooo, who is this guy and is he single?
no he is married to a woman that dresses like a teenager and has leather skin...

The window washer guy that is staring at me as he washes the window right next to me. He's a total creep. He also frequents the porn shop next door 2-3 times a week and knocks on my window and waves on his way past the office. Oh and he also feels the need to open the door and yell "windows" every Friday. The entire front of my shop is one big fucking window....we can see you are washing the windows no need to open the door and yell "windows!!"

I'm replacing a computer for an older secretary in one of our remote offices. The hardest part is having her unplug everything from the old computer and plugging it into the new one. She just told me that this should be a man's job. Funny thing is everything is color coded, but she just asked me where she plugs the green cord (speakers) into, she then listed the different colored connections on the back of the computer, one of them being green.

I really wish this thread wasn't stashed in chat, it belongs in the main forum. Anyways, how useless are out of office replies these days? You put one on your e-mail because you're going to be gone for a certain amount of time (usually conveyed as part of your automated reply) and hope the people you correspond with will read it and make the necessary adjustments to your absence. I'm willing to bet nearly all of them don't, even if I put "***PLEASE READ***" at the top so that when it pops up in their notification preview window they'll at least open it up and see what's inside rather than just hit the x-button to delete.

I had a cunt e-mail me on Thursday morning (my out of office said I would be gone Thursday and Friday of last week and that I'd begin addressing e-mails on Monday). I get back and start working through my e-mails in the order I received them and while getting caught up I get an e-mail from her again, forwarding me the e-mail from Thursday that I had not yet addressed requesting an answer ASAP. There's a lot of shit I get worked up over but this is the shit that puts me in the red.

um, yeah, that is pretty disgusting. lol, it's probably even worse because it's a female!

a male attorney here likes to throw his near-empty soda cans at his waste bin(across his office)...normally when I do that, it's dead center, with a simple "whoosh" into the trash bag. not him, he likes to hit the backboard, aka the WALL and sometimes the rim of the trash. needless to say, it's annoying as f#ck because he drinks at least 3-4 sodas a day, and has coke splatter all over his wall. disgusting. and now i'm just bitching to bitch :D

Yeah, she's all kinds of nasty. I've had to stop conference calls to yell at her for it since she's right next to my cubicle. It's by far the most disgusting thing I've ever heard from someone I've had to work with. I smoke and don't make that noise except maybe first thing in the morning when I wake up, but it's in the privacy of my bathroom.

I hate people that abuse the high-priority/red/exclamation mark on emails. I work with a lot of media agencies, and every one of those a-holes marks every one of their emails with those things, and they're all mass emails with everyone blind copied. And I would say at least 75% of them are not actually high-priority. At this point, those little marks have the opposite effect... instead of immediately addressing them, I give them a mental "F-you" and put them off unless it's a legit emergency, which it never is.

On the flip side, one of my office favorite things are accidental reply-to-alls. We get company-wide emails from HR all the time and I love it when people respond and forget to take the office copy list off. Usually they're nothing, but every once in awhile they are hilarious. It's the little things that get me through the day.

I have actually learned to not even notice those importance symbols, they are meaningless to me. Nothing I am being sent is high priority, and if the asshole sending it thinks so they are a douche/cunt.

I have basically disappeared in the middle management level of humor around this dump.

[shoegal_97]

Post count = respekt. Anything under 5k posts and you may as well be wearing a training bra yet.

Edit: Welcome back, newbie.

You're slightly chilled, only because you've been around a while (and wherever you were in between).

I'm retiring at 30,000 posts, they are offering me a pretty reasonable buy out of my services.

I figured I would put this in the office annoyances thread, but it is more funny/not common sense then anything. I work in IT so I surprisingly see this alot, if you are going to look at porn, don't do it on your work computer. You would think people would know not to do this, but you'd be wrong

I think a lot of people figure if someone doesn't physically see them watching said porn, it didn't happen. That's common sense 101 that your whereabouts on the net can be tracked when you're at work.

Ah, that is probably the case. I think it's funny because every time I have to fix a computer that has a virus on it, it is because of porn and the person's manager gets an immediate call/email with screenshot of the person's browsing habits

[shoegal_97]

Yikes!!!

Do the people there get fired? I mean at my job everyone knows u are being monitored when u go on the web so if u know that and u still look at porn, u r a dumbass.

I have to post on ants on my blackberry :lol

A few years ago I was writing an e-mail to a buddy who works outside the company so it was going to a non-server exchange address and I accidentally wrote "shit" instead of "this" in the midst of the body. It got kicked back to me immediately for profanity (for some reason it only checks for language when sending outside the exchange, but if you're sending to someone who's part of the exchange it lets it through), then a little while later I get an e-mail from the person monitoring such activity stating that I keep it clean and refer to the handbook if I had any other questions. I thought I was in deep shit and because this person looked at it specifically I was going to be in trouble. It was after that I wondered how much of the e-mail traffic that is not work related they sit there and look at.

Edit: Nothing ever came of it, I'm sure this stuff happens all the time with as big as this company is.

interesting point. we have a lot of leeway here. we all have admin rights on our computer and can do whatever we want really. however, i'm always curious as to what's being looked at.

They took the admin rights away from the computers, any updates or changes to software have to go through the IT department. Up until only a few months ago we were rocking IE6 yet and I wanted to badly to someone get around the admin settings and download Chrome. They finally moved us up to IE8, which is better, but I still hate it.

Yikes, speaking from experience that is a support nightmare. A few years ago we took away admin rights from everyone and our support calls for viruses/malware and just annoying stuff caused by people downloading/installing whatever they wanted dropped to almost nil.

We're pretty relaxed here everyone has admin rights, but we're 90% development here and don't do support or office bs so everyone isn't an idiot and not looking at porn or what not. However, I do wonder if they notice me posting in the marijuana smokers thread :lol I'd say no since it's been over a year and no one's said anything.


Here's my office annoyance of the day: Send an email out Friday to my boss saying how busy I am and that we need another body. He agrees, and wants one in here asap to take half of what I have on my plate. Today, knowing I'm super busy setting up new clients and QA testing our release, asks me to create a bs excel template for him. I said no Matt can't do it about to be on a call and am in the middle of testing, give it to so and so since she plays Farmville on facebook all fucking day. Got a sort of pissy smart ass response from him before he said he'd hit her up.

I'm sorry I can't do your bitch work so I can ensure our release is bug free and that I keep new clients happy so our revenue is always going up :rolleyes

There's a manager here who must bathe in the cologne he wears. His manager cubicle is right by the door to head in to the hallway where the bathroom is, and when I get about 10 feet away I can already smell the guy's scent. If he's been in the bathroom, you can tell he's been there because it floats around in there for nearly half the day. The stuff doesn't lose it's power, it's the same cloud of shit all day long, it's like he reapplies it several times.

older woman that works in my office... who is dumb as nails... asks the same shit over and over and over, and she's been doing the same job for 15 years. I seriously don't understand it...

Anyways, this happens probably 3-4 times a day, but she'll come up behind me when i'm at my desk so I'm :trapped and ask me some idiotic questions that I've already answered 30 times in the last 4 months, and then she pats/grabs my shoulder.

It is so horrible because I know it's coming and I try and lean away/juke it sometimes but she manages to get me everytime... seriously makes my blood boil

[shoegal_97]

:lol
Tell her next time to write it down otherwise u won't give her the answer. I hate answering the same questions over and over again. I won't do it after a certain amount of time
