Co-Worker RANT

Okay, so, the bosses are gone for a business trip. Does that mean it's screw off time or what??? My counter-part took it upon himself yesterday to take 1-1/2 hours to detail the company truck, and today, after I TWICE asked him for some help on a project, leaves to go back to his desk because he is working on a personal project, and doesn't want the boss of the other division to see someones boat carpet laying in the middle of the office floor while he re-draws it for some damn reason. How the hell do you tell the uppers that this jack-off is screwing around when the bosses leave???

haha, tuff one. But if it was me, I'd keep my mouth shut. They'll figure it out when his work isn't getting done.

Make sure your on top of your own work.

HECK YES IT"S screw off time when the boss is gone....WTF !
Maybe going a bit to far doing boat stuff in the office ....unless it is a boat company!
Anyway....don't be snitch, relax a bit and enjoy the boss being gone! If the dude is that much of a jerk he'll dig his own grave!
Where do you work anyway?

Here's a rant from me !

I work in an office where my counterparts like to have a huge mess on their desks because they hold off sending their work to other departments until the last minute. I on the other hand finish all my work and send it out as soon as im done leaving my desk alot lighter than theirs. Then they have the audacity to tell me that im not busy. Damn right im not busy because i get all my work out. So my immediate supervisor calls me into my boss's office and we talk about how i need to ask for more work when i have nothing to do. So then my boss ask me what i did today. Did you get this out,and did you get that out,and did you send these out? Thank god my boss loves me and when i answerd "YES" he turned to my immediate supervisor and asked her " Then what is the problem"? I guess im sorry i do what im told when im told !

ok, here's my coworker rant. we have one lady in our group, who in all honestly has a complex that she has to proove to everyone that she knows her job. I will give her credit and say she does know it, quite well in fact. well, she has to be the first one to go to training classes or our boss is holding her back. She has to be the first let in on a project or our boss is holding her back. She has to be in the middle of everything or told about something going on in one of her "offices"(phone switches) or that person who did the work is holding her back...on and on...she has the highest seniority so she picks the earlier shifts , yet works past the later shifts just to prove that she's the hardest working in the group... I mean WTF, we're a union shop...we're going to get paid whether we work or not

I just got back from a 1.5 hour lunch where I am now eating my lunch at my desk and listening to the new Linkin Park cd, surfing the web. WHAT?

Good grief . . . where do all of you work? Kindergarten?

Cry, cry, cry . . . whine, whine, whine . . . .

Is this what Corporate America is about? No wonder we're getting our butts kicked.

Oh, and Dinty . . . slip her about 500mg of diazepam. That'll shut her down. Also rest assured she will burn herself out in a few years. (Always fun to watch).

The thing that really PISSES me off, is I had to track him down TWICE to get his butt back to where I needed him. You want to f/o, great, but don't do it when I need your help.

You guys are a bunch of smart-a$$es... That's why I love it here...

Time for a smoke break now.

Oh wait, I don't smoke. Okay, maybe I'll walk across the street and get a coffee.

You should sit by the genius that I used to site by (until I get an actual office with walls and a door). His wife home schools and I guess he is the principal. He talks to his wife 4-5 times per day for at least 10-25 minutes each time.

I used to document his side of the phone calls as a goof.

Here are a couple of good ones:

This one is titled "The Red Shirt"

Begin = 10:27 AM
- Hello.
- Yes, it is Coca-Cola red.
- Sweetheart, if we paid for the internet connection on the phone, you could have taken a picture of it and sent it to me.
- Does it say wrinkle-free?
- It’s not a button-down?
- It’s a pull-over. Oh. Well, get ‘em both.
- Well, that is your standard red. It’s not maroon and not orange. It is the red of the red on the flag.
- Well. Well. It’s not bright red. It’s the most generic red that you can get. There’s no orange to it, there’s no maroon to it. It’s just red.
- Why don’t you go ahead and get it and I can return it if I need to.
- I’m a 16 ½, 35 long sleeve. The sleeve is 35. Extra Large. No, a 16-16 ½ won’t work. Sweetheart, if it just goes small, medium, large or extra large then get an extra large. A large will not cut it. I need to have a 34-35 sleeve. Do they have talls?
- We can try it but unless it is a true 16 ½ it will not work. Do they have a 16 ½ - 17?
- I’m afraid that a 17 ½ would be too big. The guy at Men’s Warehouse said a 17 was too big.
- Go with the 16 ½ to 17 but I’ve got to have the long sleeves.
- Is…is…is…is the red something that is going to function at Christmas? Ok.
- That’s scary. What you’re really going to be looking for is a deep red without any purple.
- Well. But, um, do you want to job back to JCPenney’s? Okay. Unless it is unusual enough to get me that shirt. If you want to get it then there’s a good chance that I will take it back.
- I have a meeting in Deland on Friday, by the way. It’s at 11:00. I probably will not be back by lunch. I just wanted you to know.
- Right. Okay.
- Do they have one that will go with…I mean I’m wearing my charcoal dress suit, right? Yeah. Okay.
- Tonight. What’s on for tonight? Then let’s, you and I, or just I. The Dollar Store shopping center. The one with the really unusual shirts, I can run up there.
- Are you going to be killing time tomorrow? Alright.
- Yeah, I think the shirts too…that’s what I’m hoping to find the banded collar. I have seen some like that that would be really cool.
- Okay. I could if I had to. Well, the thing is I will wear red and black. Kind of dirty pool that they are making people wear their school colors.
- Well they said it was your favorite football team part.
- Okay. The girls are done at just before noon? I don’t want no short sleeves. Yeah.
- Plus they are on sale. The what? No, I like the black one but not the white one. The black one is heavy enough.
- Well…And I’m an extra large. Don’t forget that I’m an extra large not a large. Extra large. I like dark colors.
- Hello? Hello? (loud sigh..I think he lost her)
- Hey, yeah…don’t worry about it. With those kind of shirts I like dark colors. I really prefer the dark colors.
- Alright. It’s 10:42. Yeah. Yeah, right.
- No problema…no problemo.
- Yeah…Yeah…Hello?...Hello? (He lost her again and called back…again)
- Uh-huh. But did you get 2? Oh, they both like monkeys? Do they have a bear? What were you getting a bear for? Oh.
- Right. You need to get her one so she can communicate with it. I don’t think they have a polar bear.
- I think they added a unicorn too. Alright…yeah…
- Bye love. I love you too. Bye.
End = 10:46 AM


If you like this one I have a lot more.
