Dear fellow teacher, when an administrator position opens up, don't apply for the job if you only want more money. Ask for a raise!
The back story is we had a job open up and they said they felt we had a lot of in house people qualified for the job so they would fill this position internally and then hire a new teacher to take over for the one that was promoted. So when they announced who got the position she said "I don't want the new job, I just want more money, so I would like to keep my job I have now and just take the raise" They told her that isn't possible and she declined the new position, and now because they didn't bother to pick a second choice we all have to reapply. Thanks

damnit I'm definitely the 'fake golf swing guy' at my office.
I've busted it out a couple of times, but only if I'm talking about golf. I think that's allowed.

Working from home and just logged into a web conference. First slide says "Organzing for Success."
This is going to be a long hour.

Yep, you give a sub group of people a little power(cig haters) and the will ride the self righteousness to the end of time. FYI I don't do ecigs.

Hey newsflash to my contemporary in the satellite office.
Just because something is your priority, does not make it mine. I am truly sorry you can't do "your job" without my help. Learn basic computer skills and maybe I will have some sympathy, but telling me YOUR BOSS wants it done before the end of the week, does not mean I am going to work overtime and stay late after work helping you to get it done.

Seriously the reverse here. The power here are the smokers. We have a company wide ban on smoking at all our facilities, anywhere on the property.
But people still smoke outside every building - even the HR building.

ONLY...and I mean ONLY if you're talking golf with a hot lady, and you help her with her...ahem...mechanics, like THIS...
...Or if you have no shame and will do the same with a dude. That too.

They shouldn't smoke there then, I don't know what else to say. The only smoker in my company goes on the dock and there is no one else around. Even when I smoked I never did at work.

We had a guy that did it all the time, every mirror he saw. We made fun of him so bad behind his back! He is a cool guy too, and a scratch golfer. We would try to see how many different pictures of him doing it we could get. ETA - found an old picture- notice the eyes focused on the mirrored door he was in front of!

You and I seem to have different definitions of "conference call".

Dear With Regard To Lady,
How much are they paying you to use the phrase "with regard to" in every sentence? With regard to lunch today, will you be having a sandwich?

With regards to this subject, I've got a co-worker who starts almost every e-mail with, "Dear XXX, I hope this e-mail finds you well."
I've got so many smart### questions on that...Can one e-mail locate a person better than others? Or is it that the e-mail checks on you to make sure you're not sick?

Dear Coworker A,
I just witnessed the boss confront Coworker B about a minor screw-up, after you ratted him out. I know how much you dislike Coworker A, as you have made no secret about it, and I am sure that you took great delight in the opportunity to make him look bad. However, this does not paint you in the most favorable light, and in my experience this sort of thing tends to come back and bite you in the ###! Now we are all going to have to watch our backs and cover our asses, rather than cover for each other. Thanks for being a team player!

Okay, so the boss was evidently going through some files and found something that Coworker B (the rat) screwed up, and just confronted him about it. Neither of them were very happy, but the boss just left saying “Shut up! I’m not happy with you right now!”

If you receive a suspicious looking e-mail with a .zip file attached to it, don't open the .zip file.

Can you even say "If you receive a suspicious looking e-mail with a file attached to it, don't open the email."

Was nice working with you guy, but having a goodbye conference call with an ominous message telling everyone that they need to be on the call, even if they are not at work they need to dial in anyway.
You weren't that important to us all.

Wow...Now I feel horrible for missing such an amazing opportunity. Total region on at once with all using same dial in, so would have been totally untrackable.

Dear colleague --
I am sorry that you caught Influenza B. That really sucks, and I know it's going to mess up the remainder of your week. That said, it was not a good idea to come to the office on your way home from having been diagnosed by your doctor to drop off some exams and gather your mail from the front office. #### you, seriously.

Dear Rain Man,
Nobody likes your over the top stats that you produce with your testing results. Quit wasting everyone's time and just do your ### #### ####### job. When I ask you what time it is, I don't want to know how to build a ####### watch.
Go jump in a wood chipper.

Dear accounts payable,
When one of our vendors hasn't been paid after repeated requests and you allegedly sent the check on January 23rd, don't try and pretend that it maybe just hasn't arrived to them yet by February 16th. They are less than 5 miles away. It takes one business day 99% of the time. Please don't think I am dumb enough to actually believe that you had sent this check. Asking me to have him wait until Wednesday to see if it showed up was a pretty obvious ploy. It was Presidents Day. So of course you couldn't mail it Monday. If you mailed it Tuesday, he would have it Wednesday.

You should have told them he would sue if he didn't get it Tuesday - they would then have to get off their (likely) fat behinds and hand carry the check to his door...
