They're pretty bad. But their direct boss is terrible and he has encouraged their badness. He does virtually no work, so he's really paranoid about them telling people he is out of the office.
They should be terrified of me mushroom stamping them and their boss.

I don't know what mushroom stamping is, but if it is along the lines of green-dotting pizza I encourage you to pursue this.

1. A mushroom stamp 594 up, 127 downwhen a male slaps his penis off the forehead of another individual, leaving a mushroom-shaped mark.

I'm a bit worried about the integrity of a penis that's actually able to leave a visible mark on a person when whacking someone's head. What are these people, Iron Man?

Thought it was at least better than 2007, but 2010 is moving further into the past.The ECDL courses held locally are just running their last 2003 based courses before moving onto the 2010 after the summer,. Does that make me feel the course i'm on is even more futile? I dunno, was glad to get a day off today even if it was cos I was ill.

Yeah 2003 is a relic. I wonder what percentage of largeish offices still use it & are never going to upgrade? I read somewhere that XP is still incredibly popular, like 50% or something of current systems still use it.
― gyac, Tuesday, 1 May 2012 19:55 (1 year ago) Permalink
I am a secret rebel holdout of still using 2003 at my work, we were meant to upgrade to 2007 last year (!) but I fear my undeserved office reputation as the "Excel guru" will evaporate once I install 2007 and spend the next 6 years going "where the hell are my menu options"
also in 2003 I can create VBA macros that run on 2003 or 2007, but when I gave the task to a coworker on 2007 he couldn't get it to work. but he probably just chose some completely random file format to save as, because I probably said "I think you have to save as .xlsm because that is for macros, but I don't know because I'm still on 2003" and all he heard was "I don't know" so he thought "well I know everything so I am going to pick 'save as Lotus Notes 1983 edition'"
seriously we gave him books and training materials etc when he started and he flicked backwards through about 3 random pages from near the end and said "well it's all very simple because I already know programming", and I assure you he did not "know programming". and he tells us every day how he knows a lot about computers and is very logically and technically minded, and it doesn't seem to have crossed his mind that anyone else in an office of computer programmers might also have any level of computer knowledge, or that the screaming fuckups he makes daily might possibly be slightly incongruous from such a logical mind

is my coworker with whom I share an office. Jesus H, she is tiny and always cold and the second the temp rises above 60, wears short sleeves and no jacket and even though she has worked in this office for over 7 years and knows how fucked the climate control is in the building, she will not bring a sweater to work. In fact, for years she kept a portable heating running under her desk all summer while she sat and worked in short sleeves but the electrical in our building is also fucked so she kept blowing fuses on our hall with it.

Not a bitch, just a little WTF:
In the parking lot, my boss mentioned casually to K3nny, the overly-helpful custodian that she'd like him get rid of the ugly fake ficus in the hallway. Later I was driving and I missed 2 calls, got 2 voice mails, and 1 text message. K3nny had called me once, then had the associate attorney call me once, and then had him text me, all to ask me which tree my boss wanted removed. DUDE, it's not an emergency! The tree isn't on fire and it's been sitting there looking ugly for 4 years!

went to get coffee with coworkers for the first time at this job. Overheard: "i worked in the apple store in washington dc and we got stuff stolen all the time. there were three teams of, shall I say, 'young urban youths' who would cycle through. youths of the same skin color, you know. i was never racist until i lived above chinatown and in washington dc. we should not love all people equally"
