201. Shit I DID say at work

After a really long bad day, my office crush leaves me a post-it note on my inner office window saying "hi" then comes back and smushes his face up against it. "Remember when this place didn't eat your soul?" he notices the smudge he left and then proceeds to clean my window - all in all making it worse.

ME: I could sit here all day and watch you wash my window.

DID I JUST SAY THAT OUTLOUD.

172. Shit I DID say at work

When I say I'm in charge of my offices files, I don't have a couple of filling cabinets in my office. There is a locked room that acts as a giant filing cabinet. Files date back to 1927, and for the past decade we average about 20,000 files per year. Having said that, all files are dated and have a unique identifying number and we have a very complex, very expensive computer system to keep track of them all. And unlike my bedroom, my house, my office- the filing room is neat and orderly. It has to be. If you can't find a file, it's a big deal. That means it's missing and consequences are not good and usually involve me.

If you can't find a file because you've forgotten to look up where it is on the computer, you're an idiot and I will call you out on it.

Coworker: I need paper.

Me: Did you look next to the printer?
CW: Okay No, but I don't think it's there
Me: I walk over and point 
CW: Well if I need more I'll ask you
Me: okay
15mins later
CW: I need paper
Me: Did you look below the printer
CW: No. Can't you just get me paper?
Me: So you can't look next to where your standing 2 sec ago, where we store the paper, but you want me to go all the way to the supply room to get you extra paper so I can hand it to you.
CW: pause Yes
Me: in disbelief Well ok then ... here.
CW: Thank-you. Hey, so you make copies right. Can you...
Me: Now you want me to do it for you?
CW: … No, I mean this isn't even for my case, it's for Them. It's a competency test - unless you want to do it for me?
Me: (The question was partially genuine because despite being a secretary I could take the test and pass it.) Not unless you give me your salary.
CW: OH here we go!

Really! Really?
This is how it felt.

152. YW Advice and Words of Wisdom: Thanks for the Candy

Your whole life, there's always been that creepy, weird person somewhere in your life. I guarantee it - that's just when we were little, then you finally grow up.

Even now, at your job, there is a FREAK. There is a weird guy at every job that makes you Concernicus every time he's around - and the strange thing about it - it's the SAME GUY at every single job you go to, right? He's there, you quit, you go to the new job and you're like "Omigod, isn't that the guy from the other job?? That's the guy! The scary guy!! .....Why am I talking in such a high voice?? It's ridiculous! *whimper*"

I can describe the guy - I can tell you right now, I can list all the features of this guy. First of all, he's not a fat guy, he's not fat, you'd never say he was fat, but he is SHAPES. He's like an amoeba, he's always a different consistency, he's like a lava lamp type of individual. He walks around very slow, he's got that perfect orb front-ass "What is that?? It's PERFECT!!" It's like he's got a botanical garden, and he grows potatoes in his taint. "What IS that??" You wanna see it - but you DON'T. You wanna see it, but you're all set. Nobody talks to that guy, you don't talk to that guy. He's got the blue-blocker glasses on, you never see his eyes, he's got the pocket with the whole jubilee of pens - in case he has to write, a LOT, and nobody talks to that guy.

If you're in the break room with a couple of your friends, right, and you see him come morphing out of your periph, the second he comes in you're like, "Hey, you guys wanna get the fuck out of the break room? You guys wanna- what do you wanna do? Let's go up on the roof and breakdance. Let's just - Let's go behind the vending machine, can somebody *begins to hyperventilate* pull up the vending machind so I can go behind HERE?? MOVE the MACHINE, please!! PLEASE?!?"

Nobody talks to that guy, but let me tell you something - every job I've ever had in my life, I talk to that guy. I would talk to him - I would find him on purpose, and I would have little chit-chats with him, and I would be very interested, and I'd be like "By the way, here's a Snicker's, that's for you; peanuts, caramel, put that in your mouth, enjoy that." You know why I talk to that guy? Because when that day finally comes when he *PFF* snaps, and he comes in to work with a sawed-off shotgun, walking through the halls *CH-CHK, FOOM* *CH-CHK, FOOM* and he finally gets to my office he's gonna be like "*inhales deeply*.....Thanks for the candy" *CH-CHK, FOOM* *CH-CHK, FOOM* *CH-CHK, FOOM*

You laugh now, but you KNOW Monday morning you're gonna be like "Hey Marcus. How was your weekend? What'd you do? Here, I bought you some pens for your crazy pocket. I know you love pens, and I happen to like pens too; we should talk about pens some day, just sit around talking about pens, inks, pens, caps, I love 'em."

146. Public Relations: Customer Nicknames


The Smelly Brothers: They spent hundreds and I mean hundreds of dollars every time they came into the store – and they tried to haggle every part of it: A torn page , a clearance book, mis-stickered item. The worst part is you knew they were in the store before you ever saw them. You could smell them. Not to mention they looked like Gungan kings.

The computer system we have uses codes so we don’t have to type the full command and other computer jargon reasons.
