She's hitting on you, bud.Me: Hey _____, how's it going?Female co-worker with 20+ years on me: Oh fine. It's starting to snow.Me: Really? Wasn't when I came in.FCW: Yeah, I had a pap smear this morning. It started on my way downtown.Me:FCW: You know how that goes?Me: Not in the least.I also would have accepted "I had a doctor's appointment."
You sure he was white and not Japanese?
What are they screaming about?
One of them printed out about 200 letters to go out to clients. The other one is upset because the one that printed them out can't remember every single one that she printed out off the top of her head because it means that he'll have to go through the alphabetically listed stack and check to see if certain ones are there. Also, he was apparently upset at his wife since he was heard yelling at her on the phone about 10 minutes prior. The one that printed the letters doesn't handle any bit of criticism (especially if it's unjust) and started shouting right back. So then the two of them kept shouting back and forth, stomping around, etc.Good times.Of course, the fact that one of them is my mother in law doesn't make it any easier. I don't want to be in the middle of it unless it's outright ridiculous, especially when it could have been diffused just by dealing with it instead of escalating it into a shouting match and pout fest. 21 more days, and I'm out of here

People really yell at each other in the work-place? Adults? I've been at my job for 13 years and I don't think I've ever seen two people yell at each other. Although about 3 months ago I did have to tell a fellow teacher "you're full of ####".One of them printed out about 200 letters to go out to clients.

Neither one of these two would last a week in a normal work environment. Just one more reason why I'm leaving.People really yell at each other in the work-place? Adults?

you're lucky we do this but take away cheap sex toy and replace it with something dumb like a toilet seat. Also take away all alcohol because it's in the middle of a workday and we all have to go back to work after.

Dear Do Nothing Slack Off UnderlingStart pulling your own weight around here and get a clue so I can do my own work instead of yours and get a good night's sleep.Does bosses count as co-workers?If soear Boss (HA!),Stop being a know-it-all jack-### and taking it out on us when you don't get enough sleep.Thanks GB!
When he dropped the magazine off in the common area with the plastic sleeve still intact, we all drooled with anticipation of ripping that cover off, flipping furiously past the riveting articles, bland jokes and numerous holiday advertisements and diving straight into the pictures of the near 50 year old Alt; at long last naked and in the flesh.
Do this. Then steal them out of the mailbox and bring them into the office, subscription sticker intact.

We had ours yesterday. There were two highlights this year one being when the owner's wife went to sit down, missed the chair and fell on the floor. Everyone around her tried to help her up but he just pointed and laughed uncontrollably. The other one was the older guy that decided he would take a chance and give a gift of a 15 minute massage given by him. He was clearly disappointed when another guy ended up with it.TheAristocrat said:

Overheard at work:
Lady #1: It says here that tonight will be the biggest full moon of the year.
Wack Job Lady #2: Yeah, I can feel it.
Yikes

Dear Eager Beaver -
Hey look, I was just as excited as you were yesterday morning when our boss's old business partner rolled into the office with a recent copy of Playboy, featuring an aging but still oh so sexy Carol Alt on the cover.
To show our appreciation of his gesture, we listened politely as he regaled us with stories of days gone by and engaged him in conversation. Sure, we could have torn into the magazine and ignored him as he caught up with our boss and asked questions about the current market conditions. But we knew we'd all get our turn with Carol Alt, the identical twin Centerfolds and (my personal favorite) Sex in Cinema in due time. Well, all of us EXCEPT YOU!!!
You just couldn't wait, could you? You jumped up from your chair, tore off the cover and, in an act of pure selfishness, sprinted into the bathroom and locked the door. Now maybe you just had to poop and you just couldn't wait to read up on the latest high tech gadgets or delve into that enticing interview with Hugh Jackman. I tend to call major BS on this being the case, but regardless of your motive, you are a disgusting, shameless, self serving pig of a man and I hope you got a paper cut on your crank. You do NOT take a fresh copy of Playboy that belongs to all of us into a locked bathroom. By the time I got it, I was dumbfounded that the pages weren't stuck together or ripped out in spots.
That prized treasure belonged to everybody. We all would have liked a turn at it before it was possibly soiled or tainted. Even if you didn't make sweet sweet love to Carol Alt, the mere fact that you snagged this gem like you were playing a game of "Capture the Flag" makes me want to send a box of gay porn to your house. Butthole.
Season's Greetings,
REB
