Talk About Work Thread

Just got done talking to a customer, and he demanded a direct number to my dept. because, "I refuse to work with those people in India" His last name is Singh! :hehe: [/list:u]

Ya know, because of my last name, people automatically assume I'm muslim. When I tell them that I'm a Christian, I usually get that "Uhhh... is that allowed" look. :banghead:

Being a teacher in a school with a lot of south asian kids, you can imagine how often this happens.

Go for the extreme, one way or the other. It makes great debates. :)

Borrow krim's "Kill 'em all, let God sort 'em out" t-shirt, that should get a reaction [/list:u]

Numbnut boss made a comment about herself being "very dense today."

I had to bite my lip and rush away to keep myself from adding to that remark.

I found a "Political Spectrum Questionnaire" that, when filled out, will tell you if your right, center, or left wing.

>>fills it out<<

If I wore any type of T-shirt, I'd get the VP yelling at me for dressing inappropriately.

Just make sure you don't submit it online. If you too much to the left the government may not like it. ;) :hehe:

LOL! No worries, it isn't an internet quiz. It's in a text I found... one of the many I use when planning. :sweat:

and add a cough and mutter some "extra" words....under your breath....
as if they didn't have anymore constructive enthusiastic comments to make....
micro-mgmt sucks! :beaten:

1 more day left at my current job. Think I'm just gonna hide under my desk so that I don't get assigned any work.

Accept all of the work, just don't do any of it. What are they gonna do, sack you? :crazy:

Whack-Job noob coworker on holiday. Lots more work for me to do since we're short handed but I don't mind...the office is bliss without her. She'll be back on Monday.

Trying to figure out a quick way to catch the flu by Friday, that way I can leave all the work piled up for her (like she always does to me) and take sick leave for a week...or two. Boss is on holiday the week whack-job comes back so if I fall ill, this girl will have to work all by herself. She never does anything, you see...goes around all day chatting and sucking up to the bosses, spends a lot of time on the phone and basically leaves everything for me. She'll do some work...if she feels like it. :banghead:

Just the thought of her getting stressed out because "she can't handle the workload" is enough to make me smile... :twisted:

Admittedly, I was taken aback myself. :sweat:

I find this easy to do at my job. I just sit beside any one of my sticky kids (students). :hehe: Never fails. Also, did you know that a teacher's desk is the most germ-infested. Don't remember when the study was done, but I totally believe it.

Admittedly, I was taken aback myself.

There are a lot of south asian christians. :puppydog: My family has been Chrisian at least six generations now. They even survived the Mogul (turkish?) invasion.

Tho, really, it's sorta not "allowed", since christians are illegal prosecuted in Pakistan. I don't have any family there (mum was born there, but moved to Canada in her early teens) because Christians literally "run" from that country. Beautiful country... just not as friendly as I thought. :sweat:
