I’ve had what feels like a pretty busy and mostly fun week at work …. The busy bit started last Sunday with a 10 hour shift that finished at 2300, and the fun bit started at the same time when about 10 mins before I was due to finish up that shift one of the most socially challenged and (doubly cursed) unattractive guys on the floor came up to my desk, took one look at me, said “You look like hell, Borys” and walked off again. Well I ask you…. Who does look their best at the end of a 10 hour shift at 2300 on a Sunday night???
I think I would be insulted if I thought of him as someone whose opinion mattered in any even remotely infinitesimal manner what so ever… but as it stands, one can hardly be expected to muster the energy to feel insulted by someone who’s social and professional standing appears to be decidedly lower and less useful than that of an office stapler. What a prat! And this coming from a man who hadn’t shaved all week, and often wafts a trail of BO behind him as he walks through the office! Bleurck!! Just wish I’d been thinking on my feet well enough and awake enough to have thrown back a pithy retort… which i didn’t! Instead, I’ve been telling everyone about it all week to demonstrate the hardships involved in working alongside so many geeks! 🙂
Anyway, I was reassured by one of my other co-workers, that I didn’t actually look as hellish as lead to believe, and that it was no doubt just an expression of disappointment from a socially ill adept tosser who… on having come to lurk in the vicinity of my desk…. had the misfortune to discover that ‘the twins weren’t out”. Yes that’s right…. to restore one’s confidence in their appearance, my colleague reassured me that ThePrat had just come round to perve at my tits and was disappointed to find me in a boring and demure top that day !!!! (insert vile retching noises here!!!)
And this, Ladies, is what you get for working in IT…… 😐
After waiting 2 full mins for a customer’s machine to open the device manager…
HelpdeskChickie: Is your PC normally this slow?
Customer#56: I don’t know….we’re in a country area, so it’s probably a little slower than normal…
HelpdeskChickie: Oh i see…. 😐
