Stupid Work Annoyances

Somebody just over-nuked a bag of microwave popcorn and filled the whole second floor with eye-stinging smoke. It's a good thing our smoke detectors don't work, I guess.

Update: no one will admit to putting the thing in the micro. I hate office mysteries.

On the plus side, I did take part in a brief snowball fight while out getting some air.

So you forgot to run around saying, 'help, help, my ass is on fire!!'?

amateur.

Oh I feel like such a fool. Dammit, Rian where were you when I needed you?

Rian Jackson · Post by **Rian Jackson** » Wed Feb 02, 2005 1:55 pm

honey, when you don't call out in distress how can i help you, huh?

buckethead alien · Post by **buckethead alien** » Wed Feb 02, 2005 1:59 pm

Point taken. It's just not in my nature to call out, I am afraid.

One of those 'strong silent types', huh?

Wait a minute, are we talking about in bed or out of bed? I'm confused.

Hey! Hold on! I don't sleep with people at work!!! I can't believe you're insinuating that!

ah, the revelation of the REAL work annoyances!

if you're trying to post within a thread, click 'new post' rather than 'new topic'

I guess i'm basically saying 'read'

Huh? I wasn't insinuating anything. And what do you know about me in bed, hmmmm?

Rian Jackson · Post by **Rian Jackson** » Wed Feb 02, 2005 3:49 pm

nothing. was i supposed to know something?

buckethead alien · Post by **buckethead alien** » Wed Feb 02, 2005 3:52 pm

Maybe I forgot to circulate that memo.

theCryptofishist · Post by **theCryptofishist** » Wed Feb 02, 2005 3:56 pm

Circulate? Memo? Oh honey if that's your plan. . .

*fishy shakes head in sorrow*

No, no. You have to get giggles to drop something juicey yet incomplete into the conversation and then refuse to say more about it. That'll build you a reputation in no time.

stupid work annoyance #4974:

Ouch. Did you get any warning? Last weekend you didn't seem aware of this. Sorry, that's fucked up.

I would offer you the position of serf- but between the shock collar and what little I would have you wear- it would just be degrading. Fun, but degrading.

stuart · Post by **stuart** » Wed Feb 02, 2005 5:29 pm

whatever you do, don't procrastinate on getting a new one.

Awwww.. Guin.. what a bummer. fingers and etc crossed for you to find something soon.

perhaps this is an opportunity to have yourself a little adventure.

just a thought...

Fuck... sorry, Guin... hope you didn't catch that from me... I'm generally not contagious... Good luck, Sweetie... I'll send you the happy vibes that I'm existing on right now...

So, is unemployment a new virus that's making rounds here? Why are there so many of us looking for jobs? Anyone? Well, we are all in this together. Good luck to everyone searching.

samtzu · Post by **samtzu** » Wed Feb 02, 2005 6:58 pm

It appears to be... *sigh*... it's all going to work out, for all of us....

tonytohono · Post by **tonytohono** » Wed Feb 02, 2005 7:58 pm

That is just straight up bunk Guin... I'm sorry.

geekster · Post by **geekster** » Thu Feb 03, 2005 12:18 am

Guin ... I am so sorry. I don't know what to say but really want to say something to give you strength and encouragement. You seem like a sharp cookie and I think you will land something better. Maybe this will work out for the best. But if things really go bad, you have a safety net. Know that.
