Sooo, I work with a bunch of bums. Week and a half and I have come to the realization my co-workers are derelict losers. One guy is the CRONIC complainer. You know the guy that tries to make everyone feel sorry for him because his life is so horrible. Every morning it's another heart break story. Jeeze, a-hole be thankful you have a job. Then theirs the always broke mofo's " hey you got a smoke, hey you got a dollar" Yea that guy. Anyone else work with people like this?
what hurts?

Dude, you don't even want me to start. A effin kid (23-24) took my food outta the microwave. I found it was him, pointed my finger at him and said "don't you ever eeff with my food again". He started to stamer, and I said it again, with a "do we have an understanding now?" He went crying to his carpet munching work lead. I'm civil service and he's a contractor. He's in my house, I'm not in his house. If ya know what I mean. My supervisor said I was wrong and should apologize to him..........right. My A$$ I will. They can both blow me. I was the talk of the shop today. And I'm lovin it. I got a little in store for tommorrow!!!! I'm pi$$ed my supervision let it get this far outta hand. I mean signs on the 6, yes 6 microwaves the say don't leave your food unattended. I said I'll knock the next one up side their head with a Ted Williams baseball bat!!! Take that to the bank. I don't like people messing with my food, can ya tell?? Nope, not been to prison!!!

I had some homemade chicken and asparagus enchilladas my wife made. I just really don't like people messing with my food, I don't touch yours, don't touch mine.
I ran a guy off from my house because he kept leaning on my 69 Corvette and wouldn't listen. I said get the EFF out, now before i break out the Ted williams. No pun, break!!!

Chummin, can I come work hard for you then? I'm on the base at Davis-Monthan AFB. These clowns are contractors and they usually won't let them go. More to the story, most of them are a group from a plane repair station here in southern AZ. They're thick as thieves. I'm not in the bunch, but I'm not gonna put up with it. There are a lot of higher rank folks that really like me. I just ight have to call in a card or 2

I work from home, I don't have coworkers bothering me unless they call or IM me, thankfully that isn't very often at all. Other than that I have to put up with the dogs and cat wanting attention occassionally

It's rough, I know

The thing right now is to be thankful for your job, any job. I know more than one person who's had just side jobs and small part time jobs since last year. And they both have been bustin butt for any tiny job they can get their hands on. One is giving up and going back to school. The other is my Dad, in his 50's worked construction all his life, and he's the main breadwinner. Stressed doesn't cover how I feel about my parents right now.

The joy of being in the military.
I have worked for, with, and had work for me...some of the greatest retards this world has to offer. When they say our military has the best and brightest, think about that a minute. "You're going to pay me below poverty income, to leave my family for 6 months or more at a time, and stand in front of a bullet? Sweet...sign me up."
With that said, I have made the jump and worked my way up the food chain so that I have fewer idiots to work for and more that work for me. At times, that can prove to be more frustrating.
Case in point, I have this kid that works for me...how he is able to dress himself and make it to work is beyond me. I told my Chief, "it is your job to ensure he never speaks to me."
If push comes to shove, I just tell people..."Dismissed" and they simply say "Aye, Sir." and leave.

If you met them on the street you would swear they had mental issues, some to the point that they are very difficult to work with. And talk about whinners! Jeez!
Don't get me wrong now...there are a few (very few) that are very cool and balance engineering and life very well.
Then there are the accountants...LMAO...a whole different breed for sure! They don't even know how to joke...very serious all the time.
Ok, there is ONE that is very cool.
Ok what about security??? Ya I work for a DOD contractor so we have security and all the fun stuff that goes with it. Talk about nerds! You have to be to understand security.

Don't get me started. I work for a gas utility company in the department responsible for training employees, maintaining the operations/safety manual, evaluating and approving new tools, fittings, etc... List goes on and on... We are busy but not swamped. Anyway, this Fantasy Football crap is killing me. Two idiots in my department do nothing but look at books, the web, magazines, etc... They have plenty of projects to work on but are too busy getting ready for the draft Saturday... One of them has been in the department 3 years and has only taught one class because is not comfy with public speaking... Are you chit'n me, that is what the job is all about. Problem is, the person who did the hiring is long time buddies with the idiots father so nothing is ever said... Sure, I waste some time on this site but at least my projects are caught up.... To top it off, they left a few minutes ago to visit a construction crew that is working on a underground leak... Problem is, the construction crew has already completed the work and have moved on to the next job site. I know this because I was in the Construction Supervisors office when the crew called in the update... Well, needless to say, the two clowns jump in the truck and drive to the site knowing the crew is complete. However, they informed our BOSS that the crew was just getting started and they needed to check the progress. So I call them out on it and they say I have no clue what I am talking about... WTF!!!! I swear, if I didn't have a newborn, I would've kicked his as$ right in the office... To top it off, the BOSS asked me if I could finish welding a platform for them that needs to be in Victorville next week. The one clown is TOO BUSY and needs some help to finish it.... Good thing I have a two week vacation schedule in a couple weeks...
On a side note... These two candyas$ employees never even strapped on a helmet and pads but they know everything about football... FFFUUUUUUKKKKKKK I want to punch something or someone.... and I would like to stuff this magazine where the sun don't shine....

I take the bitter with the sweet at work.
No biggie.
If work was supposed to be so great, they wouldn't have to pay me to show up every day.

Before I retired, I spent the last 11 years running work for Robert E McKee (general contractor) on site for Alcoa Electronics Packaging in Rancho Bernardo as part of tenant improvement and later as on site "whatever they wanted us to do", which included setup for their production line..ceramic pin grid array for intel chips. Keep in mind that I was a carpenter. By the time I was done, I understood corporate workplace ergonomics, cleanroom technology...too much to bore you any further with...and how to spend time with various engineers with more education than God, but couldn't grasp the concept of 3 dimension from a set of plans...just because you want to put it there doesn't mean it will fit. What about ductwork? Glu-lams, Cable trays? and so on...
Some of the smartest people I have ever been around, but until I had to actually show them why it wouldn't work unless they wanted to spend a fortune or get a structural engineer to sign off on it, they wouldn't listen.
I eventually gained their trust and respect, and they were actually really nice guys. We ended up having beers with them, were invited to corporate parties...we became friends.
None of them EVER stole my lunch...!!!

Oh don't even get me started...let me just say one word...Engineers!

no offense to the engineers that may be gd.comers of course
Most of these guys freaking smart, I mean the kind of smart that is scary HOWEVER, they have no people skills or have no clue whats happening in the world cuz they live in a very small very specialized world. If you met them on the street you would swear they had mental issues, some to the point that they are very difficult to work with. And talk about whinners! Jeez!
Don't get me wrong now...there are a few (very few) that are very cool and balance engineering and life very well.
Then there are the accountants...LMAO...a whole different breed for sure! They don't even know how to joke...very serious all the time.
Ok, there is ONE that is very cool.
Ok what about security??? Ya I work for a DOD contractor so we have security and all the fun stuff that goes with it. Talk about nerds! You have to be to understand security.
So, when I say I babysit for a living...well, in reality, that is EXACTLY what I do.
Engineers/mathematicans are the most sociallly retarded people in the world. Outside of their world of slide rulers and calculators, they just can't function.
Feelin the love!
I wouldn't say I'm socially retarded, after all I tricked a pretty good looking gal into marrying and having kids with me. The only problem I have is I take everything literally unless someone tells me they are joking.
PS Mac, real nerds don't use calculators, we do it in our head!
The company I work for is almost all engineers (90%), and nobody really complains or is stupid. We have a couple who are lazier than most, but I think that is just a matter of probability. The only thing that annoys me is when the most senior level engineers come to me for help on how to solve a problem. That one drives me nuts.
If you don't have any retards at work......................There is a chance that you might be the retard. Just Saying
