Shop Talk

Why is it a manager that routinely shows up an hour to and hour and a half late for EVERY shift can get on his staff (oh yeah he's been the manager for two months) for clocking a full 8 hour shift when we really work 7.5 or 7.75? We (the staff) come back early from lunch often enough in a week to make up for te time difference. Also, our company states we should be paid for full 8 hour shifts. It is not our fault that the kiosk in which we work closes a half hour before our scheduled time off and that or closing duties last about three and a half minutes.

So after weeks of complete aggravation this head-cold has just finalized my misery. And in my grumbling and head achy-whining I came up with a plan!

The first step of my plan is the most critical. First I must win the lottery. It would need to be at least a couple million dollars for me to pull this off.

Then comes the more complicated part. I'm going to throw a party. A big frickin party. There will be a free open bar, there will be caviar, there will be a pool, hot-tub, food, dancers, and if anybody is interested we can take helicopter rides. This party will take place on a Saturday, it will start at 6am and go until 6pm. Everybody I work with is invited (you can all come too if you want.) If that weren't enough... I'm going ...

I tought the SNL skit this last weekend was hilarious and just thought about it after reading the Xmas party funny. On SNL they made mention of the Christmas symbols that are being re-named in order to not offend anyone. In this skit they refer to the "Holy Manger" as the "Holiday Homeless Family." I could not stop laughing to save my life.

I must go do my phone time so I won't be able to monitor calls....Yeah and my manager told me by accident my ID had been erased from the system that records calls but don't worry I've put you back..yeah right accident now I have to really put my best foot forward....

I hate my job, have I mentioned that? Today's e-mail was

"Half Hour Lunches...

Are still in effect, please mind your AUX and guess what?.... we have 7, yes 7 new classes hitting the floors this week/weekend. Hang tough, we’ll get through this together."

Yah, you know what, sod off. I'm so godamnsickandtiredofthisbullshiet.

since im a girl is houldnt be posting this but i have to say that it is very very true 🙂




FINE
This is the word women use to end an argument when they feel they are right
and you need to shut up. Never use "fine" to describe how a woman looks -
this will cause you to have one of those arguments.

FIVE MINUTES
This is half an hour. It is equivalent to the five minutes that your
football game is going to last before you take out the trash, so it's an
even trade.

NOTHING
This means "something," and you should be on your toes. "Nothing" is
usually used to describe the feeling a woman has of wanting to turn you
inside out, upside down, and backwards. "Nothing" usually signifies an
argument that will last "Five Minutes" ...

So this gal I'm on the phone with seems like an otherwise reasonable person until this... she starts telling me about how her husband has a phone with us and dropped it and it broke in half, and because she hasn't got insurance on that line she's going to have to pay full price to replace it (sob story) so while setting up the new line I offer her the insurance. "Hey, it's only 3.99 a month and instead of paying $200 next time you break the phone you'll only have to pay $40!" She turned it down! She said well he's learned to be more careful with his phones now. Wouldn't it make sense to add the insurance after seeing how you clearly need it?

Either it is really busy out there in wireless world 😳 , or everyone is too bored to post 😕 . We need some funny stories or some good conversation in order to get through the evening. 4.5 hours left until the night is done. Post like bunnies breed!

THINGS YOU'D LOVE TO SAY AT WORK BUT ...

1. I see your point, but I still think you're full of crap.
2. I don't know what your problem is, but I'll bet it's hard to pronounce.
3. How about never? Is never good for you?
4. I see you've set aside this special time to humiliate yourself in public.
5. I'm really easy to get along with once you people learn to see it my way.
6. I'll try being nicer if you'll try being smarter.
7. I'm out of my mind, but feel free to leave a message..
8. I don't work here. I'm a consultant.
9. It sounds like English, but I can't understand a word you're saying.
10. Ahhh...I see the screw-up fairy has visited us again...
11. I like you. You remind me of when I was young and stupid.
12. You...

Subject: Corporate Lessons............

Corporate Lesson 1
A man is getting into the shower just as his wife is finishing up her
shower when the doorbell rings. After a few seconds of arguing over which
one should go and answer the doorbell, the wife gives up, quickly wraps
herself up in a towel and runs downstairs. When she opens the door, there
stands Bob, the next-door neighbor. Before she says a word, Bob says,
"I'll give you $800 to drop that towel that you have on." After thinking
for a moment, the woman drops her towel and stands naked in front of Bob.
After a few seconds, Bob hands her 800 dollars and leaves.

Confused, but excited about her good fortune, the woman wraps back up in
the towel and goes back upstai...

1. I won't help anyone who walks into my store wearing sweatpants.

Dear Tech Support:

Last year I upgraded from Boyfriend 5.0 to Husband 1.0 and noticed a
distinct slow down in the overall performance - particularly in the
flower and jewelry applications, which operated flawlessly under
Boyfriend 5.0.

In addition, Husband 1.0 uninstalled many other valuable programs,
such as Romance 9.5 and Personal Attention 6.5, and then installed
undesirable programs such as NFL 5.0 and NBA 3.0.

Conversation 8.0 no longer runs, and Housecleaning 2.6 simply crashes
the system.

I've tried running Nagging 5.3 to fix these problems, to no avail.

What can I do?

Signed,

Desperate

hey everyone..
i am just wondering if i am able to swamp a verizon number to sprint and sprint to verizon.
basically no termnation....
Because i want to use the verizon number on sprint because verizon seems to be pain in the ass in my area.

In a time of need, Bellsouth chose to act... eventually. Not surprsingly, Bellsouth has given us yet another example of how corporations are driven by greed of the allmighty dollar to the point they are willing to impede progress and new technologies.

How proud one must be to be a Bellsouth employee.

Angry BellSouth Withdrew Donation, New Orleans Says

We've been getting constant snow and of course people still can't drive. I nearly got run over coming in to play today. I have to keep my actual work shoes in my bag and wear my boots in and out and when I put my boots on today they were ICE COLD. Now I can't decide if this was good or bad. It's bad I guess because I don't like having cold feet, however it was great because it numbed the toe I broke last night. Ah well, can't have everything.

This woman who just called in blew my mind. There were children screaming in the background and I firmly believe that children screaming in the background is a bad sign for me, people who have no control over their children generally have no control over themselves and so by extension have terrible credit. I don't mind hearing children in the background, but it's when you can tell just by listening that they are running wild that I cringe. And she's screaming at them as I come on the line. Now if there had been a long hold time I could understand her being in mid-scream but it was an 11 second hold time, not long enough for her to be already yelling at the hooligans running amok in her home.

She wanted to find out how much it would co...
