The Day Job Just Keeps on Getting Better

Wednesday, October 26th, 2005

Tolerance:The capacity for or the practice of recognizing and respecting the beliefs or practices of others.

Like in most offices, my day job has a “suggestion box”, where employees can anonymously submit suggestions, which get read aloud monthly at our BPNR (financial) meetings.

On Tuesday, we had our most recent meeting. At the end of the meeting, our branch manager read the suggestions. The suggestions this time really fucking insightfull, real time-wasters. Without further adue, here is what they were:

1) Could people please make less noise when congregating together to leave at 5pm. Some employees have to work till 5:30 or 6:00pm and we find it disturbing.

My comment: Fine. Thanks for approaching the 2 or 3 people that might have been doing it one or two days. You had to be a coward and submit an anonymous comment. You are now known as no balls.

2) Cursing. There is too much foul language used at work.

My comment: Go fuck yourself.

3) Please refrain from eating Chinese food at your desk – it smells.

My comment: My head is still spinning, so I have no comment.

People, these were the suggestions that were in the box this month. The voices in my head haven’t stopped screaming since this meeting, so I don’t know what to make of it. What I do know is we have a bunch of fucking pussy babies at work.

So, what have I been doing. For one, I have been generally louder than usual. Secondly, I have dropped the f-bomb in casual conversation. And today, I ordered Chicken w/ brocolli.

This is Getting Bullshit Now

For those of you who might be watching the other “disaster of the month” on TV (first the tsunami, then Katrina, now an Earthquake in Pakistan), closer to home there is quite a large amount of rain falling in the Northeast.

Rain like I’ve never seen before. It’s been raining, and raining hard now for 6 days straight. If there is a break, it is brief and becomes an annoying cold mist. After that, another downpour for 3 hours.

The soil and roads finally couldn’t take the beating anymore, and everything around here is flooded. Not a “New Orleans” flood, but one of those floods where you’re second-guessing whether or not the car will actually make it through the road-turned-river, or stall out.

So, we’ve decided to get two of every animal…

Looks like Mother Nature is doing a little housekeeping in the last 12 months or so. Water, wind, earth…fire is next, so anyone near a volcano might want to think about packing their shit up.
