In Reply to: A Special Poll For Anyone at Work Right Now posted by Trent Reno on July 21, 2003 at 15:20:28:

: 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.

A lot of the people are much cooler, but many parts of my job are eerily similar to Office Space. I have an office, but there are cubicles aplenty. The printer and copier are constant candidates for being stolen and destroyed. I have several bosses and I have (more than once) been 'schooled' on the same issue by multiple bosses. We don't have a "Milton" per se, but we do have a klepto that everyone jokes about. Recently, there was a new report developed entitled the "TPS Report." (Come to think of it, I bet someone did that as a joke.) AND, I have been told that I can listen to my radio at a reasonable volume between the hours of 10:00 & 12:00.
:
: 2) Do you have any hotties in your office or building that you check out?

Yes.
:
: 3) Ever get in trouble for being here, or other kinds of web browsing?

Not yet.
:
: 4) What the hell, specifically, are you supposed to be doing right now you slacker?

My boss. Actually, paperwork.

: 5) If you didn't have this board, how would you entertain yourself to make it through each day alive?

Make fun of people . . . and drugs, lots of drugs.
:
: 6) Ever do an office prank at this or any other job? Ooh, do tell...

The only one I can think of at the moment is when one of my office friends had twice received notes on her car about her parking. The next day, I left a note on her car as a joke (thinking she would recognize my writing) and she freaked out and turned it in to public safety. I spent the next week fearing that I would be escorted from the building in cuffs.
:
: 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?

Yeah, but I'm usually pretty subtle about it.
:
: 8) Where would you rather be right now?

water park, then a movie tonight
