1) First of all, how friggin close to the movie "Office Space" is your job? Sorry, I had to get that question out there.
Pretty damn close...I have three bosses, I hate the color printer (which reminds me of the fax machine in the flick) and I absolutely adore my stapler (I don't let anyone else touch it for fear of losing it or that they will break it)...oh, and I could set the building on fire.
2) Do you have any hotties in your office or building that you check out?
God no! It's a small office...and one of the peeps is my brother...the others are like family as well. Plus, I don't find them attractive in the least.
3) Ever get in trouble for being here, or other kinds of web browsing?
Nope. Though one of the bosses told me to lay off the ebay. I refused. I'm quite open with them about my internet use. They don't care as long as the work gets done (knock on wood).
4) What the hell, specifically, are you supposed to be doing right now you slacker?
Preparing for the silly sales meeting on Thursday...
5) If you didn't have this board, how would you entertain yourself to make it through each day alive?
Talk to my bro...he keeps me sane here...with or without the board.
6) Ever do an office prank at this or any other job? Ooh, do tell...
Well, long story, I'll try to keep it short...at the time that people were mailing anthrax and it all seemed to be coming out of Florida, we happened to have a sales rep who lived in Florida. She sent in an expense report which I opened and then laced the envelope with coffee creamer to look like a suspicious white substance was placed in the envelope by the girl...then I put the envelope on one of my bosses desks. He flipped...I could have been arrested for that one...but damn it was funny...really, it was!
7) Ever snap at someone or tell off the boss or do anything to demonstrate that you are a human being and not a mindless worker?
Yes...I'm not one to keep my mouth shut. I once told an ex-boss of mine that I was going to shove her Celine Dion Christmas album straight up her ass if she didn't stop playing it at top volume all day.
8) Where would you rather be right now?
Nowhere fancy...just home.
