puckloo39 5,686 Report post Posted September 8, 2010 I was never really a fan. The person below me has a short temper. You'd be a fan of Dilbert if you worked here. It's all real, and when you live it, you have to laugh at it. I consider you very fortunate, that the scripts do not resonate with you. That's good. I don't have a short temper with people who can't help themselves. Otherwise most people I talk to daily would be dead. They can't help being how they are... so I move on and deal with it. Anger doesn't help. The person below me wants a cupcake right now. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
miller76 463 Report post Posted September 8, 2010 I just ate lunch, and I am stuffed. So no thanks. The person below me has loudly passed gas in front of people, and was embarrassed afterwards. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SouthernWingsFan 854 Report post Posted September 9, 2010 Probably in the past, really wouldn't be embarrassed so much by it now. I'm not intentionally going out to do that in front of people, but if it happens, it happens. Accidents happen sometimes. The person below me wants to take this upstairs.

55fan 5,133 Report post Posted September 9, 2010 If you want to go upstairs, you'd be on my roof. My bf was supposed to come over today and seal it, but it's raining, so we'll have to put it off. If you want to take it upstairs, you go right ahead, but you'll be carrying 2 heavy cans, a brush, and a roller, and you won't be coming down until it's done. The person below me finds humour in odd places. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

miller76 463 Report post Posted September 9, 2010 I can't eat the same thing over and over. It makes me angry, when my options are limited. The person below me has a tattoo they regret getting. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
55fan 5,133 Report post Posted September 9, 2010 (edited) No tattoos here, but if I had tattoos, it would be not regretted due to the fact that they would be a Winged Wheel, a Detroit Lion, and the Luther seal in not-so-visible locations.

55fan 5,133 Report post Posted September 10, 2010 Dog tired. I spent the morning after work on the phone with the stupidest woman on the planet. Then I slept for 2 hours. Then my bf came over and fixed my roof. Then I couldn't go back to sleep. Then I slept for 40 minutes. Then I got up for work. Now I am home. As soon as Johan has his run and is ready to hit the hay, so am I. The person below me likes spicy foods. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

puckloo39 5,686 Report post Posted September 10, 2010 yes, glad it's Friday. Wish I didn't have to come to work, like most of the rest of Austin. It seems people around here don't work five day weeks, so the good thing is there is no traffic on Fridays. The person below me has a hard time with the concept of "team" in an office where 80% of the staff don't show up for work half the time. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
55fan 5,133 Report post Posted September 10, 2010 (edited) Oh, no. That means that you have 80% of the people showing up 50% of the time, and 100% of the people showing up 50% of the time, which means that 75% of the time, you have 90% of the people present, but if each gives 110%, then you have 100% effort for 75% of the time. If you work a standard 9-5, you then have 2/3 of life spent away from the office 5/7 of the week and 100% spent away from the office 2/7 of the week. Since this leaves only 5/16 of the week spent at the office maximum but in reality, only 75% of this actually happens. So your team is really only 5/12 there. And this is assuming everyone gives 110%. Tuh. And people want coffee breaks? I am more familiar of the factory version of "team". In a factory setting, the concept of "team" involves shifts. Each shift thinks that they do more work than the others and that the other shifts are favoured and get by with more. The shifts are grouped into departments, none of which do related tasks, so each department feels that they are more important than the others, but are ignored in favour of the pet departments. The departments then are collectively known as workers, who feel that management are stupid tools who are out to get them. Conversely, management feels that the workers are ignorant grunts who can't do anything right. The sad part is that everyone is correct in their assessments. The person below me likes Papa John's, but feels guilty about not eating Little C's. Edited September 10, 2010 by 55fan Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hockeytown0001 7,652 Report post Posted September 10, 2010 I eat Little Caesars for a number of reasons - Mike Illitch, Red Wings, it's good, and I have a friend that works at the one I go to. Although if I have a choice, I usually tend to go for Pizza Hut. I do like Papa John's, though. The person below me prefers Pizza Hut over other pizza places.
