sonicl - haha yeah i can see why you say that. are they watching you?

nefeli - yes for good! but as a reminder of who is the boss and who is the slave he just dumped a massive box of papers on my desk which means that i will be away from my desk and unable to post on here for ages. also does everyone in your office smell apart from one?

quick! reccomend me some music for a monotanous boring ass job!!! and see you later i may be some time.

Glifted - Under and In

flipped out bride works for doing such work.

also i wish i could send you some of my work nefeli but emails dont work here so you will just have to go hungry. i dont have any money either so unless you take payment in drinks and cd mixes then i am scupered.

my boss goes around whistling whatever song is on the radio at the time, except he does it slightly out of tune everytime and its so fuckin annoying it not natural.

What do you do? Not to your bosses, I mean, occupationally.

My boss is pretty cool actually, pretty much lets us do what we want as long as we don't completely take the piss. The assistant manager, however, is really fucking annoying (but weirdly, only when she's in charge). She times our lunchtime to the minute, wont let us have fag breaks, tells us off for chatting and generally makes me feel about 4million times more stressed than I should be.

where do you work lucyrule?

I work in a newly created position of sorts, so everything I do is unprecedented and therefore without instruction. I make things up as I go along, and most days I am on the verge of anxiety-related coronary episodes.

However, I work alone, in a building of all males, which is absolute heaven compared to working with women.

I don't care about your babies or your "disobedient" husbands, nor will I pretend to. I do not want to celebrate your office birthday with a lovely home candle. I won't notice your new haircut, and if I do, it probably looks shit anyhow, so don't ask my opinion. I do not care if you look fat in that skirt.

I am entirely egocentric, and your estrogen-laden lives mean nothing to me. Now piss off.

i just put in my 2 weeks at one of my jobs, yesterday. not even 24 hours later, my boss calls me and asks me to cover for the guy who just quit (he didn't show up) and i told her that i can't because my best friend is coming into town to work on a project and i never get to see him because i'm always working and i have a test at 8am anyways, so she should ask her son to work...he only works two shifts a week anyway.

and one of my coworkers admitted to being racist and my boss still won't get rid of her.

Haha...one thing I don't miss about working in an office is women bringing in their children to show off. Fuck off, your screaming child is distracting me from my messageboard posting.

oh my gawd, I'm so jealous. I have it the other way around.

I have worked in medical offices for the past 11 years and have always been the only guy.

unlike my coworkers, I don't thrive on drama and never want to take part in the pecking games that are played.

at my current job I rarely take the iPod headphones out so I have an excuse for not hearing people (I'm even wearing them in my ID badge picture), but it's a fine balance. if you NEVER talk to them, you get talked about.

so far....so good, but I'm just waiting for the drama-hammer to fall.

Not that I'm condoning it obviously, but is that grounds for termination? Or is that simply being an ignorant cunt?

I would love to hear your professional phone voice. Seriously.

I won't even take payment for being in the presence of a child. Why on earth do these women think you WANT to be beset upon by them, especially when you are virtually converging with intellectual giants of the internet?

I work for Greenpeace, but not doing anything cool like living in trees, but badgering people on the street for their bank details. I don't like telling people because I always get tirades of 'chugger' related abuse, but it's a really great job!

I like your handle. It's dreamy.

What do you do that enables you to listen to your iPod all day?

We just got rescue masks in for pets. How cute.

thank you, I've had it for years and can't shake it.

I am a "manager of billing services" (complete with minions) for clinical medical services (unless you are calling from Medicare, then it's Billing Samurai or Office Warlord depending upon my mood).


PRO TIP: secure yr own mask first, before placing a mask on yr pet!

i guess not, but sometimes she refuses to take foreigners' and minorities' orders, which should be more than grounds for termination.
