Things about your co-workers that annoy you

[TheCADJockey]

I want to slap some of these flocc faces in the mouth with my grandmas butthole.

Our machine shop takes a lot of pride in their work, production/assembly is full of kids though and they have this mentality. On Fridays, now and then, we (engineering) go out for a few beers on lunch. Never fails, one lady from assembly always comes in to pick up her platter of fried goodies and sees us drinking then immediately runs to the chief engineer when she gets back to turn us in.

He just nods and sends her away. Worry about your own work, and I don't know.. maybe put on that ESD wriststrap once in a while?

 

[TheCADJockey]

Ok, so its really not that bad here, just a tough couple of days and my frustration is mounting as I get closer to my 2 year review.
Every so often there is an odd smell that leaks into the engineering bay, it does smell like sewage, but its very faint.
Whenever it happens, everyone freaks out, starts bitching, threatening to go home early...
Then they all light scented candles to mask it and the entire bay becomes unbearable.
Its harder to breathe in here right now than it is in Yankee Candle stores.

Well if it is sewage with any methane, you wont have to worry about it long...

Haha, I was thinking the same thing! It smells like gas so naturally we will light a flame... Boom

Ask facilities to bleach bomb the restroom floor drains.

I'd tell you to ask me how I know but you know how I know. You know?

 

[TheCADJockey]

Oh. I know.
I gave up trying to help them.
Despite my complaints here, I do rather enjoy their agony over a little fart smell.

Trust me, facilities enjoys it as much as you do.

Haha, I grew up on a farm and have had a lot... lot of dirty jobs growing up. The little fart stink doesn't bother me. Its all the chemical laden wax blocks they lite up.

Same here. 100+ pigs, 500+ chickens, and 75 head of cattle. I only had to clean up after the pigs.

 

[TheCADJockey]

Pigs were the worst. Ours was just a family farm. One to two animals at a time. Always chickens though. Free, fresh eggs all my life. Wouldn't trade it ever.

 

[Zuljin]

Mmmmm. Araucana eggs. Never had any birds, but knew folks to get eggs from.

 

[Hoppity]

My cousin lives in my grandfather's old farmhouse in Minneota, Minnesota. A turkey farm upwind is a major annoyance for noise and smell. I remember visiting the old family farm as a kid. Stagnant August air created many olfactory challenges. They raised Cattle, Pigs and Chicken. The Chicken Coop was a dusty affair, the Cattle pen was mucky and smelly, but the Pigpen was ripest of all.

The Corn fields were cool, though. Riding Horses through them was a trip.

My boss hinted today that he is going to be mixing things up at the office. Turns out that means he wants to punish me for being competent by changing my schedule from days to evenings. How the hell am I supposed to have a social life of he does this? After my vacation I am going into job hunting mode with a vengeance

Is there a don't ask why the boxes make that noise policy there?

You can ask all the questions you want, just don't look inside.

Also, you'll be living in an area that wont allow you to survive on $20/hr at 4 hours a day.

That's almost anywhere. Double that and you can pay for a car too.

I got a bonus with my promotion that amounts to $400 a month.

That's 40 bottles of pepsi per month.

Well damn. Not my fault you moved to the edge of the earth. Can't solve all your problems.

 

[Venari]

Can't solve all your problems.

Actually you can!

Wire me $951.45 plus $78.75 in excess baggage fees so I can get the flocc outta here.

 

[slym2none]

I'm out...

 

[1977Brewer]

Actually you can!

Brother, I like you, quite a lot, but that's two weeks salary and I'm check to check. Have you tried a dogsled?

 

[watermelon83]

Do a Gofundme. I've seen far more ridiculous ones gain money.

Man, I just checked out Igloolik on Google Earth... Can I buy you a tree? I don't think I've ever seen a more desolate looking place.

out of curiosity, what is the major industry there?

Come on down to Florida, you'll still be underpaid but it costs 1/3 what you're paying now to live and we have trees and stuff.

 

[drainbamage]

out of curiosity, what is the major industry there?

World's 4th largest exporter of snow!

When does the "Free Venari" Gofundme start?

 

[BreezyBrew]

I swear, I think my boss wakes up, stretches, yawns, and thinks to himself "I wonder what's going on today" smacks lips, and doesn't bother to look at his calendar.
