Spanish and Brazil?Dearest cheap Spanish co-worker,It's fine to make personal calls during the work day. We all need to check in at home occasionally for a minute here or there. However, the fact that you call Brazil at 4pm every Tuesday and Friday after your boss leaves is unacceptable. Oh, I have no trouble with the actual phone call you are placing, however, the fact that your voice raises by about 50 db and you start talking like you are smacking a pinata at a street festival during Carnival is unacceptable in a dead quiet office space.I love the spanish langauge and spanish women :thumbs up: , but not when you scream and yell and laugh for 40-53 minutes twice per week while I am trying to make calls 3 offices away.Thanks to tone it down.. don't make me do something we both don't want me to do. You have a chance to keep this job, don't blow it.Gracias,Dought Man

My office has 3 of these damn funds. I've been here a little over a year and just found out about hte third.1. Coffee fund- I don't mind chipping in my $5 every few months. I drink LOTS of coffee.We have a "Sunshine Committee" around here. Every year they come around and ask for $10 to put into a fund. They use the money to buy flowers or cards for births, deaths whatever. Last year the Sunshine Broad came around and told me that the donation went up to $15. I asked her why. She said "We hired more people this year.":excellentposting: we got hit up today for a 'donation'Hi,
I've had about enough of signing cards, chipping in to buy people lunch, gifts, flowers, etc.
I HAVE SIGNED FIVE CARDS THIS WEEK!
I HAVE CHIPPED IN ON TWO LUNCHES SINCE LAST WEEK!
I HAVE BEEN ASKED TO GIVE "10 or 20 bucks" TO BUY A GIFT THIS WEEK!
I WANT TO OPT OUT OF THIS RIDICULOUS TRADITION!
It has got to the point where a meeting was convened today to figure out a system of payment so that one person doesn't get stuck paying for the cards every time.
JUST STOP BUYING THE ####ING CARDS! STOP!
We needed to waste 10 minutes for this??? SERIOUSLY?!
I don't feel any better seeing a "Get Well" card on my desk when i come back from a couple days of being sick! I Idon't need a birthday card from you people! We don't need to drop $200 on a gift because someone's ex-mother-in-law died!

I must have given her this look:for about 5 minutes.
Also, it's awesome that you went to see Bon Jovi and had a kickass time the other night, but I'm tired of hearing about it. For reals.Person:
You vote for "Dancing With the Stars" contestants? Really?
Die.
I used to be the "anti-social guy". No one asked me for anything. I was not invited to any lunches anymore, etc etc etc. I did get along with people just fine for work but I would hear a couple grumblings here and there. Thank God I'm not in that group anymore. I don't mind chipping in if someone is having a baby or someone close passes away but they go overboard here too.

2. Birthday/Card Office fund- Every couple months they hit me up for $10. Then when it's your birthday they buy cake/ice cream/pie for the office. We have no dining area. Everyone either takes it back to their desk or eats it on the reception area counter![]()
3. Just found out that the BUILDING (multiple offices) has a Sympathy fund. They wanted their $10 too.
THREE F'N FUNDS!!!!CRAZY!!!! I've probably chipped in $100 in a year and a half.
Oh yeah, I also got a memo couple months ago that was sent to the whole building asking that anyone who wanted to should call personell to donate sick time to somebody that works upstairs that I have never met...Ok, nice sentiment, but we already have a SICK BANK. Donate one day per year and you get back up to 90 days or something a year. And we have disability insurance...
mmm. Never asked about the coffee fund. I guarantee if I didn't drink coffee I wouldn't contribute. However, there is a conference room off our office that other groups/offices use for large meetings. Really pisses me off when those folks start emptying our coffee pot. It's not even the $$$ for the coffee. They leave the damn coffee pot empty. Which reminds meI used to be the "anti-social guy". No one asked me for anything. I was not invited to any lunches anymore, etc etc etc. I did get along with people just fine for work but I would hear a couple grumblings here and there. Thank God I'm not in that group anymore.

ear co-workers,I know you have all worked here for 20 years. I know "Tony" has always made the coffee and Pam will if he's not here. I also know I "just" started here a year and a half ago. But I drink coffee, so if I empty the pot I make some more.There are 12 of us that work here. All of you have graduate degrees. How in the hell can 9 people with all of this education not really "know" how to make coffee here. ITS A 12-cup "MR COFFEE" maker. YOUR NOT MENTALLY CHALLENGED!!!

This stuff is out of control. It's a job, people. You are there to work not eat cake.Oh and the reason I gave the Sunshine Committee woman that look is because she didn't understand the math of the whole thing. Just because we hire new people does not mean we have to donate more money. If we go from 50 employees to 55 it's safe to assume those 5 new people will be donating as well.My office has 3 of these damn funds.

Maybe it's because I'm dumb and bald but huh?I am so glad I quit my job. It turns out that people will pay you to go to school.

Dear guy standing next to me--I've urinated before, plenty of times. I acknowledge that it can often be quite a relief. But don't you think the grunts and sighs loud enough to interrupt the conversations of those on the floor below are overselling it a bit?
) i understand this well.There's a goofy wierdo here that uses the bathroom no matter if there's someone else in there or not.. that's bad enough.. but instead of quietly going about his business, washing his hands and getting outta there he's moaning, groaning, ####ing on the urinal cake so as to maximize the splashing sound instead of aiming for the back wall and making no sound.he then proceeds to comb his hair BEFORE washing his hands.sorry for your troubles, GB, butDear Maintenance Dept Snow Removal Guy,
Thank you for removing my passenger side mirror with your plow truck. I'm sure the GM and owner will love the repair bill on their desk next week for $1200. I'm also really looking forward to the 3 hour round trip drive to Denver and back so the auto body shop can repair your ineptness. I'll be sure to submit my gas expenses as well - perhaps lunch too.
All the best,
M
