ahhh annoying speakerphone coworker

ha ha
try this one on for size: I'm in a dilbert style cube with a 42 yr old woman who still lives at home. she has a redfaced complexion and laughs at everything anyone says to her, especially if its from management. And she hiccups, all day long.

and then there's a manager here who walks around all day singing "zippity do dah." whenever he sees someone he says "how ya doing? I'm doing terrific, but its gonna get better!"

blech
 
Department of Defense.

we've also got:
a female GS-15 Director who has no college degree, promoted to meet quotas. I once wrote an award nomination including the phrase "his herculean efforts" and she read it as "herclean"

a midget black woman who goes into spells

a woman who was promoted as my computer technical lead, primarily, I'm convinced, because she has nipples the size of wine corks (she forgot to wear a vest one day)

a computer specialist who has the annoying habit of talking to you while either a) digging for ear wax or b) giving his genitalia a vigorous rubdown
 
I would like to say I know from a scientific standpoint, but I don't. all I know is, someone will walk into her cube and she will be sitting there, completely unresponsive. the rescue squad on base has to be called, they take here away (probably so the alien implant memory can be downloaded) and she shows up for work the next day, no prob.

someone told me it was a form of diabetes but I don't know that for sure. I don't talk to her much because she is very unpleasant; because she's so short, she has one of those napoleonic complexes.
 
I have never seen a group of people do so little actual work than the summers I worked at the Library of Congress. I'm fucking serious, I know it's a cliche, but it was mind-boggling. I spent literally half my time there writing email and listening to the records I was supposed to be cataloguing, and they gave me an extra $250 as an award for being such a hard worker.

That and I worked there in 1999 and they were just going to make the transition to Windows95. They were using OS/2 for fucks' sake. Not even OS/2 Warp, mind you. OS/(fucking)2.
 
yes xfer, I be a nuclar missil technicshan. :)

that's the military side, I'm a civilian...actually I've worked for the Dept of the Army, Defense Finance & Accounting Svc, and Defense Logistics Agency.

there are some good things. have a coworker (female) who is a pretty hot little blond, she was after one of my former cubemates. she came in the cube one afternoon, grabbed him by the crotch and said, "what the hell does a girl have to do to get laid around here?"

that was a clean the coffee off the monitor moment for sure.
 
Hey Lizard, I was actually contemplating getting a job through the DOD as perhaps a translator or some kind of teacher in Belgrade, Serbia and Montenegro.

can you pass my resume on to someone?

TOTALLY SERIOUS POST.
