going green

explain to me why you would type up a birthday list for your department, print a bazillion copies, and put one on every person's desk? maybe you could be a little more "green" and just email that shit.

on a related note, does anyone really fucking care about coworkers' birthdays? Is this elementary school? are we going to bring in cupcakes to have after nap time?

I know the problem

The problem with large companies is that everyone pretends that all of the people are great. So if something is not perfect (production, profits, whatever), it must be a problem with the processes. or the facility. or the technology. when really, it's that there are a few suck ass people that never get called out.

at least that's how it works where i am.

coffee, part 2

I really want some coffee this morning, but there are people standing near the pot talking. socializing, not work-related. i don't really want to talk to them. after all, i haven't had any coffee yet.

One person refers to his kids as "the daughter" and "the son." kind of strange.

Seriously, how much small talk can two people make?

coffee

so with the boss gone, the office suck up hasn't made coffee in the morning. as a result, the first pot of the morning has been vastly improved!

don't want to be here

coming back to work after time off is awful. worse if you didn't have a good week off.

i need a different job.
