Today At Work

Where do I start?

I guess I could make weekly entries to make these shorter. I probably have enough material to last a year.
OK here’s something.
My name is NOT chicky, honey, pretty lady, doll or sugar. Nor did I ever desire to acquire such an address. Using the nicknames you use (for everyone I have overheard) does not endear you to me, or them I am guessing. It may make you feel above others, when really its just insulting. Just consider the fact that I am nearly a decade older than you. If you had one ounce of respect for others you would use their names to address them. Instead you’re the type of person who uses phrases like, " I’m not trying to be rude, it’s just that……"
Wisdom, which comes with age, tells you that if a person starts out that way, they’re about to insult the ever living snot out of you.

Crazy Officemate

She is a nutjob. We work in the admin department, yet you’d think we work to make her life easier. Reports late from the manager? "Hellooo! This is your BFF! Where is your report?" or "I want to be on my boat. You need to get me your stuff early." Think you’re on good terms? Think again. That bus has backed up several times.

Noisy bracelets clack clack all day. Think it’s work she’s doing? NO! She’s running her side business. "I’m a NAME OF SIDE JOB.", "I do graphics!", "Oh who did this work last? This was acceptable? Who approved this?"… all from someone who knows nothing about our industry yet she can tell you what is wrong in a snap. "I didn’t know I’d get this job. I just put my resume out as a lark." "I was brought in to bring action [pronounced actttt-shuuunnnn]."

The worst part is she is a bigot. Nasty racist comments. Wanna complain? No joy, her office BFF is in payroll and she’s even more unpleasant. Stepford housewife with a I Smell Garbage look on her face. Thirty minute lunch policy? - nah, these gals take at least an hour. Office chats minimum 6 times a day. Both sneaky and nasty. But boy can those voices hit helium Chipmunk peaks. Bigots, liars, side job, bus rolling. Vroom!!

I have worked at a collection agency for many years and it sucks, at first i had plenty of work to keep me busy. Over the last year or more the work has disappeared and i find myself mainly surfing the web each day, checking out pointless sites like this one. I dont have to call people to collect money instead i work as an office worker working on completly boring crap. My advice to people out there is don’t take a job with a collection agency, these type of businesses are dirty and corrupt and a complete waste of your time

this job is pointless

I came here to post a story but I noticed no one has posted anything since January. Hello? Is anyone here?

Lazy People that Gossip Should be Fired!

I work with a group of women who complain everyday that they are busy. (I’m a woman too, but I sit at my desk most of the time minding my own business, until lately) What are they busy about… Well when they go off and chit chat for an hour at a time and make up lies about people when they are suppose to be working, they spend the rest of the day IMing each other about the coworkers they hate, and they send me work to do because they do not have time to do it and they talk about how inefficient I am? WTF. Look in the mirror. I accidentally came around the corner to deliver some documents not knowing I was going to run into them and before I knew it they accidentally blurted out that I was sleeping with one of the managers!!!! I am friends with a guy at work, but there is no way anything going on. I am married with kids, and very happily I must ad. 20 plus years and couldn’t be happier. Was I pissed! I hate the saying that Perception is Reality, because it’s not! They are out to ruin my marriage and I did nothing to these people. I don’t even go to lunch or break with anyone, I go by myself!!!

Did I mention that I am hourly and they are salaried people, which if they were actually working as much as they are suppose to that would be fine. They take twice as long of lunches as they are legally allowed, doesn’t matter if you are salaried or not, you are still expected to work the complete 40 hours a week. You are allowed extra time if you work longer for some reason or another, but that never happens and they do not do any work from home. So that’s not an excuse either. they are just screwing with the system and they would only need 5 or them if they all worked instead of the 10 of them. I spoke my mind and now none of them are talking to me. My kids are more mature then they are. Mgmt can’t seem to see what is going on here and they don’t care.

Fair’s fair

If you get to make fun of my bald spot in front of everyone then I get to point out how much you look, sound, and act like Joe Pesce in Goodfellas.

Pointing out to everyone that what I said was inappropriate but what you said was OK because you’re my manager only makes you sound like an idiot and makes people like you even less.

BTW, everyone calls you Pesce now.

Feelin’ groovy…

I resigned several months back and all I hear from my former coworkers, the good ones, is that things have only gotten worse.

Still out of work, but hearing the horror stories assures me that I did the right thing.
