so what's going on in your places of employment?

[lizard]

except for kitty star who has been laid off.

we are having our new office heart defibrillator installed as I type! Apparently it is a model which speaks to you.

 

[FalseTodd]

we just moved offices so everything is kind of a mess

 

[avi]

things are ridiculously busy and temp workers filling in for people on vacation are fucking up my good vibes.

 

[FalseTodd]

the only temp we have right now always does some weird hand thing when we pass in the hall. yesterday it was the "snap fingers on both hands and then point at you with both hands" thing.

I've only been polite to the guy. maybe he thinks we're like best buds. it's creeping me out.

 

[lizard]

man I hate oily guys like that.

 

[avi]

ugh, I could not handle it.

the temp guy we have is filling in for the overnight guy, so he's a bit off from the sleep dep before we even get into anything else. and on monday I had to do three days of work in a day for a coworker who got stuck in atlanta and couldn't get back in time. besides my regular work, of course.

 

[Baliset]

i am printing up promissory notes for the 2003-2004 school year that are still missing, i'm on hold with the department of education, i'm waiting for ryan and john to come by and get my car keys to go investigate a van, and i am contemplating taking a poop.

 

[lizard]

we had a fund raising bake sale and all the fat women elbowed their way in and monopolized the cookies and pies.

 

[mindspell]

I am on project that is going to shit from all angles and the project managers are trying to put the blame on everybody but themselves, and that includes me. All I am trying to do is to make this thing work how they want to and make it secure.

The company is in a fund raising period for the United Way and the people in charge on this floor are fucking pushy. Just for that I think I am not going to give anything.

There is also unfounded rumors that I am sleeping with an ex-coworker.

 

[minxnim]

same shit. everyone here has AIDS and is dying.

 

[avi]

fucking temp always answers the help line and refuses to hand it over to me even though he has no clue what's happening and I'm waving my arms in the air at him

 

[lizard]

the office defibrillator has cool illustrations for its use.

 

[azal]

The power went out here for about 20 minutes, now everyone is rushing and hustling to get the 6 o clock news to run.

Meanwhile, at the corner desk, azal is chillin like a villian and kickin it on the kayo dot board.

Main stories today: budget rebalancing debates in the parliament and a protest held by kosovo serbs regarding the coming parliamentary elections in the province.

 

[lizard]

the cleaning guy came in my cube this a.m. and called me "guitar man", and then asked me questions about wireless mice, even though I told him I have never used one.

 

[azal]

I am convinced of the fact that at least 60% of the people who work here still don't know that I speak Serbian.

And I feel pretty good about that.

 

[lizard]

the next time the power goes out, begin bellowing provocative political slogans in serbian.

 

[NAD]

I'm getting a new office this week and direct deposit is still fucked.

 

[lizard]

I dragged my feet about direct deposit but since I got it I have no complaints.

 

[avi]

direct deposit rules so hardcore

 

[Baliset]

i'm on hold with the department of education for like the 10th time today
