Stupid CoWorkers

I work with a fellow, “Paul” who basks and bellows in his ego and self righteousness all day long. He parades around our office as a know it all letting everyone know that he’s got the connections at the top,he knows all the right file formats and processes for setting up and converting complex drafting/ geomatics files. A few quick questions to him and I was told that he was too busy, the process that I was asking for was too complex, or that what I was doing was over my head and I should leave it to the “qualified personelle”, namely himself.

So I have worked at this place that I like to refer to as the Devil’s Playground for almost 5 years. And I actually just got a new job I will be startinig a week from Monday. My reason for leaving is because for the last few years this woman in my office, who I like to refer to as “The Troll” makes my life a living hell. Ok she is very LAZY I mean honestly she makes more personal phone calls in a day than she does phone calls with customers. Than when she isn’t on the phone she e-mails everyone she knows, and will NOT answer the phone it is very annoying, than she will answer the phones when the bosses come in the room, so she makes it look like the rest of us are slackers when she does NOTHING all effing day!

She makes comments all the time that are very rude to me. Also on her personal calls she likes to play 20 questions so that she won’t say she is talking about me, but im not stupid like that stupid horrible troll is. She also said that I don’t understand when our bosses mom was going through cancer even though my father had just passed away a few months earlier from cancer, and she told me to my face” we don’t understand what they are going through” I really hate her and I can’t wait to start my new job, so I don’t have to see her lazy, orange colored wrinky face ever again.

Stupid Customers Story – Iomega tech support

I work for Iomega tech support. One day, when I was answering the AOL message board questions, I ran across a letter complaining that this person’s zip drive had ejected a zip disk clear across the room and hit her dog in the eye. The dog supposedly lost vision in that eye and wanted Iomega to pay for the vet bill. I wrote back asking for a picture of the injury. I got back a picture of a dog wearing a pirate patch.

Stupid CoWorkers

As a computer monitor at a university, students typically have fairly stupid questions, but rarely do the monitors though. Just this morning a monitor was unable to print to the color printer, which is not unusual considering the state our computer lab is in. However, the head monitor was asked to look into it. He was unable to determine the cause of the malfunctioning printer and waited on a full-time support person to come to the rescue. This person arrived and immediately lifted up the printer to discover the cable had been disconnected. Just goes to show you how even people who provide help need help.
