i knew somebody would smile at that thought.

I got into a car accident at work today. 2nd accident this year......and ever, for me. Yet again, not my fault. And I'm not kidding. So, I've had a generally crappy day. :grumble:

On a positive note, I'm off work until January 3rd b/c I had personal days to use or lose :woot: I left behind all info I could, but I'm sure something will go down w/ this accident since I'm not there to follow anyone up.

Agh, sorry to hear that, K. :hug:

You're okay, aside from a bruised ego, ne?

Hopefully 2006 will be a whole lot better... :)

we're hiring again... :nut:

I'm thinking of spreading the germs...

*currently wearing a mask at work*

dude.. i feel like a Ninja.. *shifty eyes*

I did something really evil to a customer today. He was hard of seeing, and normally I'm more sympathetic, but this guy was a real asshole. I couldn't get rid of him any of the nice ways I knew. I tried getting management to deal with him before I blew my top, but they wanted me to deal with it.

...so since he was hard of seeing, I pointed him down an aisle and walked quickly in the other direction as he kept walking and griping even though I wasn't there. I hid in the break-room for my 10.

Yep, I'll burn in hell.

Yup.

But the week's moving by pretty fast... And it'd be nicer if the weather was better... No sun. :puppydog:

*thinks of throwing paper spitballs across the room while faxing some docs*

/me is currently on "anti-work" mode

During the holidays this thread seems to have slowed down. Anyway, I have a co-worker from Cambodia and he has a real thick accent, which doesn't help when doing tech support over the phone. He was working with a customer today, and the customer kept saying "I can't understand you!" After the call was over, my co-worker stood up and said, "DO YOU UNDERSTAND FUCK YOU!!!" Everybody here was rolling on the floor laughing!! :hehe:

It looks like a nice place to work. :D

Work thread hmm?

Lets see.. I work in a cubicle, soooo I spend a lot of time during the day surfin the internet/messageboards/etc. And when I'm not slackin, I do all sorts of graphic design work.

Work sucks.....

Next month will be slow and no more 12 hour+ days. I hope. :sweat:

working st starbucks! BUT, it does have its high points.... like we would take the cup sleeves and toss it at fellow coworkers like it was a shuriken.
