I'm one of those assholes with the fake laugh.

I reserve genuine laughs for close friends and family. I hate everybody at work with the fire of a thousands suns. It's true.

My laugh is far from obnoxious, though. It's very subtle.

I do sympathize with you.

Yeah, I'm talking about this forced boisterous laugh that makes me think she's masking the fact that she doesn't feel human emotions the way we do.

Ha. My boss does that. She also wears high waisted jeans, a Dale Earnhardt tee shirt and a mullet ponytail, everyday to work.

See what I'm working with here? This is why I drink.

I took a sick day on thursday. Wednesday I felt like shit, and I knew that I was not going in on Thursday. Friday I was still sick, but not as bad as Thursday. No complaints, since all I had to do was ride the day out, and then the sweet sweet weekend started.

If I need the day I'll take it, so I can see where the "I don't want to be here, but I need the hours, and I'm being a pain in the ass to everyone else" hate comes from.

The freak in the cubicle next to me has a number of accents he tells people he can do. Texas, Alabama, South Carolina, California. All horrible and all annoying. He pretends that when he talks to people from those areas his voice just happens to mimic the way they sound. God, he is weird.

People trying to do accents is irritating in general. I don't even like it when my friends do it. I'm not totally sure if it's because they're no good, but I'm too close to them to NOT be able to hear it as totally phony.

Yet again, a coworker has burned a bag of microwave popcorn. The whole cubicle farm REEKS of this now.

It looks like management has said something to the offender this time, at least.

Where I used to work, there was this guy who I'd refer to as The Office Smithers. This guy (who for some reason had no problem dating) despite having a horrendous B.O. problem was also doing strenth training or some shit like that. Anyways, the guy would microwave tuna or some other kind of protein. This got to the point that either the kitchen or the space where the guy worked smelled like cat food.

My workplace has been heavy on going "GREEN" this past year. I believe in taking care of the environment, but is it really that beneficial when you stop stocking the disposable coffee cups only to give us a nice mug that we have to clean using tap water/soap and then dry with paper towels?

Also, the condescending dude on my team that smiles through heated debates and arguments over my brainstorm ideas... I wanna smash him in that smirky grin. Should you look so pleased to be criticizing? Especially during meetings? Dick.

Our office and the one across the hall have been issued bathroom keys, which are presumably supposed to keep homeless people from using the restrooms as motel rooms. The problem is the slobs who work across the hall (video game developers, 'natch) are more disgusting that your average hobo. Almost every day, one of the urinals will be overflowing, and some guy will be bathing himself in the sink.

Still seems like a waste of water. FL's always crying about a shortage of that.

I may just bring in a towel to work, though. Good advice. The Hitchhiker's Guide says I shouldn't be without one.

I don't work in an office, and my bosses are pretty accepting of us calling in sick, but it has always been my dream to come in and toss my cookies in the middle of a sales meeting or on my boss's desk.

Actually, we were just bought out by another distributor...salient point is that the buyout occurred just after Thanksgiving, fully merged ops begin on 2/2.

It took them until Thursday (1/22) to tell me if I was going to be employed. Which is fine, but it was like trying to get info out of Dick Cheney -

Chavez: "hey, when are you going to tell us about our employment status?"

Boss: "Well, we won't have that determined for some time."

C: "How long?"

B: "We don't know."

C: "Well, who's making the decision on us?"

B: "I think it's manager x, but I'm not sure."

C: "So in other words, not only can't you tell me, you can't even say when I'll be told or who will do the telling?"

B: "....."

C'mon, ya twats, we deliver beer. It isn't that fucking important.

Do the math on how much paper product could be saved if it were somehow deemed appropriate and socially acceptable for everyone to carry a personal towel with them all day. Or hey, even a handkerchief. A cloth napkin. Something.

I believe it. But in this germaphobic/antibacterial society, it seems too many people would be afraid of that notion.

Or even if we found it social acceptable for our inanimate objects to be moist.

I was at a bar last night where they did not have paper towels or air hand dryers. They had a shelf with washcloths and a bin under the sink to toss them in when you were done. I assume they just do a big load of laundry at the end of each night.

A couple of years back, I got a pretty nasty sunburn. Since I'm bald, every three hours or so a fresh layer of skin would start to peel off of my entire head. This left me with two choices: I could sit at my desk looking like I had some sort of horrific skin condition, or I could walk into the bathroom with a tube of moisturizer every couple of hours. That was a fun few days.

Thank God for employment and over-time pay though.

...fucking producing partners who give the go ahead on $400 worth of lab fees when a transfer and some AVID color correction would have plenty fucking sufficed, for less than half the price. This is in addition to having to eat the cost of a worthless roll of 35mm mistakenly ordered for a 16mm project.

Having to do this and then being told that out of a 5 point scale, you cannot get any higher than a 3 even if you've busted your ass all fucking year. WHY THE FUCK ARE THERE 5 POINTS THEN?!

The 5 points are reserved for the oral specialists in the office who spend a lot of time "in conference" with the department head.

Unemployed friends high-fiving each other over unemployment benefit extensions.

I know times are tough, and it's a much-needed bit of assistance, but if they called it "welfare" (and it is), would people be so fucking jazzed to be on it?
