In Reply to: A Special Poll For Anyone at Work Right Now posted by Trent Reno on July 21, 2003 at 15:20:28:
sorry people, not really at work, but doing work, so i guess i fit the theme a bit
: When Bomb accidently (actually, purposely) put a nude pic in the post and I
looked at it at work just now, it inspired me to do a poll just for the peeps at work.
: 1) First of all, how friggin close to the movie "Office Space" is your job? Sorry, I had
to get that question out there.
none of my jobs or the jobs i currently am on payroll for are like office space, but it
would be funny to burn one or two of them down . . . i could do it you know
:
: 2) Do you have any hotties in your office or building that you check out?
im going to reflect on my last job, which is a school library, so here goes, lots of
cuties from my school enter and leave, but work there, eh, not particularly, they all
graduated in the past years
:
: 3) Ever get in trouble for being here, or other kinds of web browsing?
never had internet at the job before, except in the back, and i worked normally at a
time with no boss, meaning I was the boss (student supervisor without any
supervisors there over me, it was sweet) but now we have it there, and i suppose
they wouldnt put it there if they didnt expect us to use it, so no
:
: 4) What the hell, specifically, are you supposed to be doing right now you slacker?
im in the middle of putting surveys in a chart, what a super cool job huh? i made it
up myself, yup, an independent research project including about 50 surveys on
each side (german and american) from high school/gymnasium students. . . im
gonna compare them, fun huh? I know 50s not a lot, but for a general look its good
enough . . . id kill myself if there were more, trust me . . .
:
: 5) If you didn't have this board, how would you entertain yourself to make it
through each day alive?
sleep, tv, tan, maybe read, exercise, eat, stuff, i dunno
:
: 6) Ever do an office prank at this or any other job? Ooh, do tell...
err, we take the little metal strips (that are put in books that are supposed to set off
the alarm when people leave the library and havent checked out the books) and we
put them in peoples backpacks or pockets and stuff and then laugh when they set it
off each time. . . i had a friend who did it once and she decided she would feel up
the person who was leaving cos he was kinda cute saying that we are supposed to
check everywhere for stolen books. . . hmm
:
: 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?
oh yes, all the time at my other jobs. . . i look at them and say stuff like, "youve
treated me like crap because you think i am just a high school student on summer
vacation and am incompetent, but then you ask me to remove the late fees on your
video that you brought in a month late because you have some excuse. . . if i am as
incompetent as you think, do you really think that they would give me the codes to
do such a thing? I mean really, come back when my manager is here so you can
yell at her instead of me" i really hated my job at the video rental place because first
off, we couldnt watch movies all day, i did sit on the counter when there were no
customers, but i worked with this guy that fell in love with me and then threatened
my life when i wouldnt go out with him, no one told me this until about a month after
he quit the job and I had been working with him alone in the store many of those
days. . . creepy . . . also 2 times money was stolen, luckily when i didnt have the
keys to open or close so they couldnt accuse me, tho they tried. . . it was the
manager who stole it, we all know it, and then she threw herself off of a ladder so
she wouldnt be fired. . . ive got more stories if anyone wants to hear them . . . seeing
as i was just a clerk i decided, hell with this job, i quit a month earlier than I said i
would and worked at my other job (retail, no better) where i wasnt treated so badly .
. . and i didnt have to open or close alone, nor did i have a key or any
responsibilities, i loved that so much better, mindless work
:
: 8) Where would you rather be right now?
um, home, on the beach, in the sun, sipping some sort of fruity alcholic drink, yeah
oh yeah sorry for the rant above, its all over now!
