but he'd be at the store a good 4 - 6 hours. two weeks or so, this guy named Dave, who was probably in his mid-30's, was fat, balding, and always wore the same clothes, would come in and hang out with the stock-crew. And we used to have this guy who no one actually knew who would come in and hang out with my crew. ![]() I used to work at Marsh, a supermarket in Indiana. I asked one of the guys at the other place how they like working with him and he said " How'd you like your balls in a vise." So i guess they feel the same way we did View image: /infopop/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif Luckly my boss transferred him to another building so none of us have to put up with it anymore. Kind o sucked sometimes though cause he'd have an important message for me and I'd be ignoring him saying yeah thats nice, and not hear it. Yeah, thats nice, and he'd just keep chattin away. Eventually I learned to shut out his voice and whenever I work with him I'd be like. Seriously he thought he was this wiz with computers. whether it be sound ain't workin' or it loads slow, would be to reformat and install windows again. Whenever someone had a computer problem, he'd go over there and "fix" it. Funny thing was though he was a complete idiot. He would always tell me that he was a computer expert. If you do it right, you don't get hurt yourself (ie lead with the elbow) and get the satisfaction of causing some pain. After a bunch of bruises or crushed toes etc they should hopefully learn. Suddenly push back from your desk (like you just remembered something important you have to do). If that doesn't work, keep doing what you're doing (ignore them) and after a little bit. (usually close all window so all they have is my wallpaper to look at) Then I tell them that it's incredibly annoying to have someone read over my shoulder. I stop whatever it is I'm doing, turn around and ask them what they want. She's gotten a bit self conscious about it and has been trying to cut back on the life stories.Īs for people who read over your shoulder. That and over time she's let out enough bad/embarrassing stories that we can tease her about it. Feel sorry for the new people she has to train. Most of the time we have to have people run intereference though. The lucky thing is that she has enough fear/respect for her boss, that her boss just says "Go Away!" or "Shut UP!" and she does fairly quickly. The other has been here longer then I have. Good recipe to be stuck doing whatever it is you're doing). One left when she realized she had no chance to get a promotion (bitch about nothing to do, give her something to do she bitched about it, then do a crappy job so someone else has to go back through it. ![]() Tuition reimbursement? Yes folks they had a similar program at her previous job and so-and-so did this-and-that and blah blah blah blah! View image: /infopop/emoticons/icon_mad.gif Going to Russia? Yep, she knew someone at her old job who was Russian. McDonalds? Oh yeah, she's got a story for that about her previous job. I mean, wtf? How can it be humanly possible for one person to be able to somehow tie every single phenomenon on this earth to their former job? And who is left to watch over the office? SHE and I!!! View image: /infopop/emoticons/icon_mad.gif Just the two of us!! followed by profuse thanks on the part of the saved)īut today? Noooo, everyone in the entire office decided to take the day off. Normally it's not so bad because there are others in the office and we all run interference for each other when it looks like she's getting ready to start yet another TOTALLY INANE ONE-SIDED CONVERSATION (looks like she's slowly causing brain death to someone? No problem: Just call them over to your cubicle for some "problem" to be looked at. OMG I have the same problem! There is a lady in this office who has been here forever and a day and who is nice as can be but just WILL NOT SHUT UP!!
