Stupid CoWorkers

For several days now the new man they hired to replace the one they had that moved on for more fruitful endevors has been acting like a jerk . They gave him the job to collect the key cards to the buildings that needed cleaning . When I went to give him back the key card he just stood in the entryway and ignored me . I banged on the door and then put the card in the door crack . I told him where it was if he was interested and he still stood there like a bump on a log . So I got in my car and drove off . I pulled away far enough to see if he was going to get the card which he didn’t so I circled around and pulled up in front again and he still stood there and I told him to take the card or I would report him to his boss . He finally came to the door and took the card and then as I got into my car he yelled at me and said better change your attitude or you can find yourself another job . With that little piece of his mind I left and turned up the cd on the radio and drowned out his threat . If he wants to tell my boss that’s fine . If he gets me fired that’s fine . My wages are only 6.50 an hour and he’s cut my hours to three a day . So what else can they do to me ? He can’t do much since he’s only been there less than three weeks . I’ve been working for 8 years at 6 an hour so if they cut my wages I can still get by on 6 .

After college, my fiance convinced me to hang up my waitressing uniform and try getting a real office job where I could learn some of the skills I would need to move up in the world, so that’s what I did.

It was a lawn care company and there were three of us working in the office – the owner, the bookkeeper and myself. My job was general office duties, phones and talking to the guys out in the field when they needed to call in and out of their jobs.

I used to work for a law firm that was stuck in the 40’s — that’s the only description. We didn’t have a postage meter because the office manager (a 70 year old long-time bookkeeper they had promoted because of her frugal ways) said those just cost money. So each of the 10 secretaries had a little box like for fishing tackle and in it, various denominations of stamps. If you just needed to mail one letter, well no problem there. But I had a case with 167 parties and everything ever filed in it was at least in a large envelope. Every one of those parties got a copy of every piece of paper filed. I would routinely spend an ENTIRE DAY after every filing applying stamps to these large envelopes.

work in a call center for a certain city’s 311 center, on the overnight shift. I spend 10 hours a night sitting at a desk playing webgames and reading e-mail and maybe fielding 9 calls a night… One of my co-workers whom we shall name “Mudbutt” has a little problem… At this point we haven’t established whether it is a femenine or flatulent odor, but it is foul beyond comparison.

Every night she goes to lunch at about 2:30am, and comes back at 3:30am. usually around 3:45 there is a strange stench spreading throughout the office… Now, I can understand a little fart cutting loose every once and a while, but the reek we experience is unholy beyond belief… think of a rotten egg/baby diaper scent… sulphrous and strong, and it doesn’t go away. Basically every ten minutes we get a strong whiff, and this goes on for a few minutes.

We have hinted at the problem, brought out candles (but we can’t burn them) and aerosol scents, etc. Nothing is strong enough to cover it up except perhaps lysol.

The worst part of it is that she laughs at us when we complain. One night she complained of “stomach pains” and we heard a loud noise that sounded like a soft burp, and this fish scent started getting stronger and stronger. I don’t even want to guess what it was, but I did submit a bid for a new shift…
