: 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.
