I say wash before and after but I did infection control reports for 12 years and know what a huge percentage of infections are caused by cross contamination related to poor hygiene.

I thought we weren't discussing @Bucknuts 'ing anymore?

My coworkers were complaining today about having to clean up ****. Both were saying if the had to do it again they'd quit. Really? After years of doing this line of work I'm no longer phased, especially since we work in geriatrics... it's like a phlebotomist trying to avoid blood.

Different thread lol but yeah I'm done here as well proper hygiene just doesnt matter to guys who pee in the yard their kids play in then man the grill without hand washing to serve up a side of c@ck with their burgers. I waste to much effort trying to educate but I can't help it part of my job is public health educator.

I've taken to chanting (usually in my head, but sometimes aloud) "eight more years, eight more years." Until retirement, when I hope to be responsible for only my own butt.

I would try that approach but chanting 25 more years repeatedly would cause me to become depressed.

It's a hoot. Enjoy the Ironic and Non Ironic "Howdy". I hear it a lot but it seems there's a special twang to it when people know you're from out of town. It's all "Look an out of towner. Lets make them think we're all illiterate country folk.".

I usually get the opposite when I'm traveling and tell people where I'm from:

"Really? You don't sound like you're from Kentucky."

"Uh, thanks...? Neither do you."

I'm spending time in San Antonio and Austin and I'm a little concerned about all the reports of flooding and flood damage. I'm not arriving in Texas until June 30th should I be concerned?

People ask where I'm from and when I tell them I'm Texan born and raised they tell me I talk to fast for a Texan and with not enough of an accent.

I'm part of the TV generation. No one has an accent, everyone makes a ton of money and the only wants we have are based in comedic happenstance.

Are you driving? If not I wouldn't be to concerned. Our roads flood out quickly but aside from that I wouldn't worry about it.

 

[Psylocide]

Back on topic... it annoys me when my co-workers are always coming up to me and telling me how smart and good-looking I am.

I get it, I'm awesome. No need to keep reminding me... and probably just makes them feel worse about themselves.

My wife wants to visit a couple spots along the way so very much against my will we are driving

 

[nDub]

Did you & a bunch of friends once get together and watch a video tape of the Statue Of Liberty until she got hot, as well?

I got it!

[Venari]

Do prisoners count as co-workers, if I work at a jail?

I've got so many stories there, but I'm not really allowed to share them

At the airport I also work at we've got a manager who loves to micromanage, but she's just left on maternity leave, so we're free for at least 12 months. Everybody else is fairly laid back and easy to get along with.

my oldest sister is an accent chameleon. her and her ex moved to SC. within 2 weeks she had the full southern accent. she and her current were stationed in England. it only took 1 week for her to develop a full British accent. they are now stationed in Texas. again, only 1 week to get the full on Texas TV twang.

Probably. I have a Tshirt I wear telling people about your awesomeness. They're all "Who's Psylocde?" to which I just snort, and say something along the lines of

"Pffft. You wouldn't know. Plebe.".

Which areas? Heads up Austin is the worst city in the world to drive in. Well, the worst I've driven in. Don't go anywhere from 6-10, 11-2, 3:30 - 7.

Then if you go out in any of those windows plan at least an hour just to get through town.

Oh I hate it so much. Traffic is what keeps me and most of us out of Austin.

I know people like that, or families with multiple accents although they all came from the same region.

Accents are cultural. I have a buddy in Russia that only speak English when he teaches it, and his only native discussions are with me so he tries to make it sound like he hasn't picked up the local accent and tempo but he has.

They speak slower than we do it seems. Makes sense. We have stuff to do. Being Russian basically consist of being awesome and doing what you want. On your own schedule you slow things down.

I want to move to Russia...

Apparently I sound like a cowboy... which I was just told recently, but I read everything you write in a Cockney accent.

I appreciate that, but find it kind of hard to believe that they haven't heard of me.

 

[1977Brewer]

I can turn my accent on and off. In a professional setting, you would think I was from Ohio. Get me around my family and I'm Boomhauer.

 

[Venari]

I wish I could do accents. One reason I can't learn other languages is that I can't make a lot of their sounds.

I can't roll my R's, I can't tell the difference between Q and K in Inuktitut, and as much as I wish I could, I can't seem to sound Irish or Scottish.

Annoying co-workers: My last relief before I retired as an offshore rig welder weighted about 360, about 200 pounds more than me. I had a pretty long run of working in ballast tanks each hitch repairing piping. (He couldn't fit through the hatch).

But that's not the bad part. If there was a particularly tough job (mirror welding or working in the bilge) he would say the space was too tight even when it wasn't.

I'm not sure about that, after spending an hour and a half trying to go 12 miles in Seattle yesterday...

 

[Billy-Klubb]

we have this guy on night shift that brags about how good he is and how much he get gets done a night. the reason he can get a bunch of stuff welded is because he doesn't take the time to put parts in the right places, doesn't make an effort to make decent welds, nor does he clean (knocking off any spatter and/or mill scale) his parts before sending them to paint. I called him out on it yesterday on the loading dock bumpers I was tacking up for the other guys to weld (another rant). I told him that he needs to clean all the spatter off before he sends to paint and all the parts he welded the previous night had spatter everywhere. he looks at me about sideways and says, "Hhhmmm... Nooo..." I come a little unhinged and told him not to lie to me because I checked those parts over myself. take a little pride in your work or GTFO.

 

[sputnam]

gonna bullet list this to keep it readable...

guy complains about being broke all the time but spends $5 on bojangles daily...

got arrested less than 2 weeks ago for not wearing seatbelt, expired tag, suspended license and pot in the car...why would you have pot in a car with expired tag?

came to work yesterday driving girlfriend's car (license still suspended)...yeah, her tag expired in OCTOBER (7 months ago)....OMG, I could write a book on this guy's stupidity....sadly his GF has 2 kids by 2 dads...he has 3 kids by 3 moms....he's 40, she's 37 and one of her daughters had a baby 6 months ago and made 2 guys take paternity tests (both came back negative)....this stuff would be absolutely hilarious if it wasn't so sad.

[DrunkleJon]

I work on a computer help desk. My annoying coworker that I have reported on several times already in this thread did another one that I have to share. One of the trouble tickets that he made yesterday got sent back due to not enough information and not being clear and of course we can no longer assign them back to him so I got it to work on. Here is the entire problem description. "Computer is running very slow to logon it take him around 5min. After it login him the it still some time for app to open up"

Say what? I think I have figured out what he was getting at, but seriously? I want to say this about it.

And what the hell is up with the underlined part. Lets just throw words out until I find the right one.

 

[TheCADJockey]

When they tell someone a 10-15 minute story about their kids going to college...

Then proceed to repeat the story to five other people throughout the day. Do some work and stop raping my ear holes.

 

[TheCADJockey]

The same person, previously mentioned...

Gave her a completed package of upwards of 500 drawings that I've been working on for almost a year.
She asks where the other one is. Actually asked where one more drawing is... five minutes away. Apparently I do not make her look good enough.

 

[TheMadKing]

Love it when my boss goes out of his way to make people feel like sh*t. My trainees are taking the biggest qualification exam of their lives and they are already stressed to the point of tears, and he feels like its a good idea to make comments like "better hope you pass if you want to keep working here".. chuckles to himself and walks back into his office to put his feet on his desk. He hasn't done actual work since 2006

 

[justenoughforme]

no one at my work drinks except one guy, and every time i have him over he gets **** faced, crashes on my couch, and has never pitched in for pizza or beer or anything


... i need better drinking buddies.
