Snowbird 0 #26 January 11, 2005 Okay, my office sounds pretty good now! BUT I could with a bigger desk. It's itty bitty. I mean, it's a kid sized desk, too low, not nearly enough room to spread out. And thankfully, the bathroom is in the back corner, far far away. Women and cats will do as they please, and men and dogs should relax and get used to the idea. -Robert A.

peacefuljeffrey 0 #27 January 11, 2005 What I hate about my office: People who fuck up and don't do their jobs right are NEVER censured for fucking up, and the environment is so "paranoid-PC" that you will get into more trouble for "making someone feel uncomfortable" by alerting them to what they're doing wrong than they will for continually doing a shitty job. You have to simply knuckle under and accept the half-assed way many of the employees do their work, because you are "harassing" them if anything you say "creates a hostile work environment." I am told stories about a guy who used to work in my office before I started there, who rose to the level of office supervisor, who used to berate people when they fucked something up. HE GOT RESULTS. Now, they are so damned mamsy pamsy about stuff that nothing EVER gets corrected. The managers just shrug their shoulders about people not following proper procedures, even after we hold meetings to discuss and alert the staff regarding how to properly do things. Rather than tell people, "If you don't correct this problem, you'll be written up/docked/fired if it continues," they are so afraid to insult or offend anyone that they don't do a friggin' thing. -Jeffrey-Jeffrey "With tha thoughts of a militant mind...

Oh BINGO! Office Politics HAS to be the #1 thing....I can't count the number of times I had been "talked to" about PC in the office....my response EVERY time was "sometimes you just have to tell people to either shit or get off the pot". I had a reputation for "telling it like it is". Doing a good job was probably the only thing that saved me from being fired a LONG time ago.My reality and yours are quite different.

sunshine 2 #31 January 11, 2005 QuoteI hate my office...no one to blame when the coffee pot is empty, no facilities people to call when the toilet paper is empty. And the worst part? T bitches if I don't make the bed before she gets home. Working at home sucks. And your dress code sucks. At least you have the CUTEST office assistant ever. ___________________________________________ meow I get a Mike hug! I get a Mike hug! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

boinky 0 #34 January 11, 2005 As far as offices go, I guess I have it pretty good. *Lots of windows to watch the weather outside (bad if it's pretty and I can't jump). *I have my own computer here, so I can be on it anytime I want to. *My hamster, "Lightning," is here with me! *All of my skydiving gear is stored in a back office. I don't even have to go home if they say I can leave early to go jump! Yea! *I've decorated it with lots of skydiving crap. OK, so it's messy, but no one fusses at me (yet). *Bathrooms are on the other side of the building! Down side? *My boss. *The coworkers coming in, plopping down into a chair. Of course, they see me on the phone or on the computer, but they insist on trying to talk to me anyway. JEEZ!!!Nina Are we called "DAWGs" because we stick our noses up people's butts?

DrewEckhardt 0 #35 January 11, 2005 QuoteOk, first let me thank the high heavens that I have an office and am not forced to sit in a cubicle where all my internet extra-curricular activities are out for the world to see. At my last job I had an office, balcony,and great view of the mountains (Boulder Flatirons). For the first time in my career (over a decade) I have a noisy cubicle with no natural light. The good part of it is that I can listen in on other people's conversations and chime in when I want. I don't have to worry about other people's farts and burps though they get mine. I drink 6-12 diet cokes a day and often belch. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
