Lunch Time Meetings...Are You Serious?

I know I'm beginning to sound like Johnny McEnroe, but come on...meetings should never be scheduled during the 11:30 to 1:30 period. People actually eat, Corporate America, we also take bathroom breaks...maybe that wasn't agreed to in the social contract.

Things That Drive You Crazy @ Work - Co-Workers

Let's get this list flowing...

I can't stand it when...

1. A co-worker doesn't get the message that I don't feel like talking and he/she continues their 12 minute diatribe about their weekend excursion to Lowe's or Home Depot...I really don't care how long you spent in the Lawn & Garden section, can i have those 12 mintues of my existence back please?
2. A co-worker narrates your actions..."going to get some water, huh?", "hittin' the bathroom, are ya?", "making some copies over there?"...last time I checked I didn't have a help wanted ad out for a narrator...either say something meaningful or let me enjoy the peacful din of keyboard rattling...

Reprimanded for Smiling Too Much? Are you Serious?

So for my historic first story, I was once actually reprimanded at work for smiling too much...apparently I didn't look busy enough because I seemed happy. Upon re-visiting my job description, I couldn't locate a clause that stated looking miserable was a condition for employment. I told my boss that I'd go back to my desk and practice my scowl...INSANITY!

Hello, Hello, Hello...

I’ve created this blog to bring to light the madness that occurs in everyday corporate america…from the funny, to the sad, to the outright ridiculous. Let’s vent our collective frustration! Who’s with me?
