Stupid CoWorkers

I work in a company that is provides communication services. I work in a cube ( what else is new ) along with two other men both married. The company was the bastard company of a take over. I work on the computer all day writing programs, my co-workers are all within 3 feet of me in their part of the cubicles. Co-worker A is married with 2 kids. He is having an affair with a another married woman in another dept of the company. She calls him at least 20 times a day. The have a “quid pro quo” arrangement. he helps her out and she HELPS him out, if you get my drift. I am so sick of listening to his wispers and moaning when he is on the phone with her.

Stupid Bosses

I work for a public college.

My field is highly technical. My immediate supervisor is a former parking attendant. It takes years to gain the knowledge to work in my field. I have no idea how she got the job. Of course, she does not know what the hell she’s supposed to do.

She pisses me off because:

She works only 7 hours a day but is required to work 8. She watches the clock when I come in about five minutes late.

Everyone in the office works only 7 hours a day. They get to pick the time they want to come in.

She would not let me pick my time.

She takes about ten smoke breaks a day plus coffee breaks.

She was supposed to be fired years ago but her boss is protecting her because he’s just like her.

Stupid Customers

AUSTIN, Texas – The exasperated help-line caller said she couldn’t get her new Dell computer to turn on. Jay Ablinger, a Dell Computer Corp. technician, made sure the computer was plugged in and then asked the woman what happened when she pushed the power button.

“I’ve pushed and pushed on this foot pedal and nothing happens,” the woman replied. “Foot pedal?” the technician asked. “Yes,” the woman said, “this little white foot pedal with the on switch.” The “foot pedal,” it turned out, was the computer’s mouse, a hand-operated device that helps to control the computer’s operations.

Stupid Things Overheard

Teen girl: Of course there were credit cards in the ’50s. How else would they have gotten their money from the ATMs?
