So, once a week I work at this firm where I did my internship
and needless to say, I org as much over there as I do at my
regular job.

Now, yesterday, my boss came in and handed me a rather important
letter I sent a while ago on his behalf.

It came back because I had written a wrong zipcode on it. Now,
normally that would not be such a big issue, but this time,
instead of

6107 AB

I, consumed as I no doubt was with some funny org thread at the
moment, sent the letter to


777 Asian Bomb


I can see where AB led me to think of Asian Bomb, but still

When I saw this, I laughed out loud, at which my boss went

Then I proceded with the letter to the copy machine to scan it
and post a pic of it on this thread.

Alas, just as I was setting the machine on "scan mode", my boss
came and stood beside me, looking at what I was doing.



"What on earth are you scanning that envelope for? What is going
on with you?"



Damn you Asian Bomb. You're gonna cost me my job one of these days





so, have you ever been in a bit of a predicament over the org,
at your job?

tell us about it

No...

nice!!

:

that is freakin HIGHlarious.

I've never had a job in jeopardy due to the Org. Although, I am notorius for being on here all day.

My last funny org/work moment I posted about a few weeks ago. I was charting about a client who was having mental health concerns and every time I mentioned the client's anxiety I typed Anxiety. Cos in my head, that word is now a name, not a psychological condition.

I was about to say "so whats new" but this takes a whole new level ,
maybe you need org therapy

( what ever happened to Therapy?)

see. it slowly filters into the fybers of your brain
until one morning you wake up and realise you have
transmorphed into a giant Org beatle

that's what I'm talking about

What DID you say to your boss when you were trying to copy that envelope?!
Very funny story

HowComeYouDontCallme said:

believe it or not, I said

"oh, my mistake. I wanted to put it in the shredder, but because I
was so embarassed for writing something so stupid on this important
letter, my mind is all over the place right now and instead of the
shredder, I'm trying to put the letter through the scanner"



Luckily, he just again and walked away with a deep sigh.

Anyway, at least I do my job most of the time and never bitch about
anything. The rest of the staff is always enthralled in the latest
bitch-fest to swoop the office. I guess that gives me some credit
but after yesterday, I'd better lay low for a while.

this is almost as bad as the time the same boss came
up to my desk to ask me something and out of the blue
just pulled my large desk draw open, yelling:

"I just need a paperclip, that's all"

only to discover a whole year's "Mens Health" magazines
in there plus a stack of cd's (which I spin mornings &
evenings when I'm alone there) and a whole array of
cigarettes and candy.

Man, it looked like a dormroom in that drawer

I even had a pair of boxers in there. (don't even ask)

My boss nearly bust a vein over that, demanding to be
told what that stuff was doing in my desk since it had
nothing to do with my work.

"Why have you got 14 Men's Health issues in here when
you've got no time to read them if you do your work?"

The soup Nazi!



I guess my boss is pretty easy in comparison

IstenSzek said:

Yeah, keep encouraging him.

So, no scan of the envelope?

HamsterHuey said:

i'm afraid not, but do not despair, I shall endeavour to
digitally scan that motherfucker next week. I've got the
envelope stashed under my keyboard

I nearly lost all internet access because of excessive org usage at a previous job. My boss drafted a 2 page document for me to sign saying I wouldn't use the internet for personal use, because I was on the Org too much. I told her that provision was already provided in the company rules and I would sign no additional paperwork! Hee-hee.

I don;t have internet access at work but i have gotten in some hot water for doing prince related things there.

this one time i sent some woman a fax and at the very bottom i wrote, "may u live 2 see the dawn. peace n b wild!" and the woman called back because she was freaked the fuck out and thought i was going to kill her. whatever.

we have a computer database at work that all of our clients as well as all of the employees are in. i was bored one day and decided to create this little pop up window that would come up whenever my information was accessed that said, "people call me rude." and " " then my office manager saw it and erased it because he's a big fucking kill joy.

although once a client of ours called and he was listening to prince in the background and we had an excellent conversation about the musicology tour and the JW conversion and what not. so that was cool.

madartista said:

and she let you get away with that! my boss would probably cut off my right hand and slap me with it if i refused to sign something like that.

2teh9s said:

yes, it's a damn shame that she isn't familiar with the words of prince.

JasmineFire said:

We had a pretty volatile work relationship. We both left the company.

IstenSzek said:

LMMFAO!

That's sooooo f@cked up.

I would never want anyone to lose their job over me.

A little sleep maybe.

IstenSzek said:

Now that's funny.

BTW, The Org was my only lifeline to sanity (wtf?) back in the day when I was bored in Paris.

But then again, there was a fulltime US night team then, that fell apart a year ago or so.

HamsterHuey said:

I remember that time. You were always online

Than again, so was I probably. I just never did

a lot of participating.

The org quality control has gone downhill since

that time though
