All 4 coffee machines smell like garbage cans. And people are still drinking out of them.
Without coffee I don't function. Garbage can coffee is better than no coffee.
I use to be this way. Now coffee is nice, but if I can't get it in the morning on my way in, I pop one of those 200mg caffeine pills. I really don't know how people drink the garbage can coffee.
They're nice machines. There's four of them with two different style coffee beans in each. There's a touch screen that lets you select type, strength, size, and will even let you add chocolate to your coffee or just make hot chocolate. But ....they smell like garbage cans. Heard a girl scream bloody murder a few months ago because a roach was on it.

The one guy I could relate to and actually think of as a real friend last day was today. I found out a few hours ago I have to work extra over the next few weeks to cover for him while we find his replacement, although it has been known for over a month he was leaving at the end of September.
Our phones and internet have been down most of the day as well. How the fuck is it only Tuesday?

I spent most of the day out in the field aside from a quick visit around lunch to grab something I had forgotten that I needed for the afternoon. My admin made a remark about how my vehicle reservation won't match up with the time I'm actually gone. As I had previously explained to him the training on this at least five times, I ignored it and left. Upon my return, I find out that he launched into a rant after I left because he has to account for all his time specifically on his calendar and then left early. He feels we don't and thinks this is unfair. My internal monologue is as follows:
Me: He wasn't criticizing you personally. He feels that he is being treated unfairly by his boss's policy. He probably won't even be mad tomorrow. Let it go. Also me: Go in tomorrow and say, "Listen, motherfucker. Keep my name out your goddamn mouth."
This should probably go in the yay thread. But i got a 10% raise and a promotion last week. Its the biggest raise Ive ever gotten in the almost 6 years Ive been with this company. Though Ive only been in the department and under the supervisor I am now for a little of 1.5 years, I had to quit to get in the position Im in now. They promised it to me for a year, and kept moving the date.
Basically Im putting it here because I dont actually believe I got the promotion and raise I got. Especially considering I didnt ask for anythimg. Ill believe it Friday when we get paid.
Apparently the company I work for is installing time clocks.
Today was also the fourth time in the last two months I've been late for work - either for oversleeping or getting stuck in traffic on I-95. Don't think I can get away with showing up at 7:40 too much longer.

Walked into a stall today at the office. It was full and nicely decorated with a paper toilet seat cover. I would like to think I work with people with a certain level of decency but it appears not.

We've got those paper toilet seat covers at work. Whenever i see someone walk into a stall and I dont hear them pulling the paper toilet seat cover out, I make a mental note. Same with the people that just spash water on their finger tips when theyre done with their business.

I spend an inordinate amount of time thinking about workplace bathroom habits.

The only time I ever do this is when I am in one of those fancy trailer bathrooms at a fest and there is no real water pressure and I have my hand sanitizer, which I then use profusely. People are fucking disgusting. We don't have those fancy seat cover things, but we are in an apartment that was converted into an office. I will never understand people who don't wash their hands after going to the bathroom. That includes at home as well.

For my fellow office people, Does your workplace have a policy on political discussions in the office? The new guy yesterday got involved in one yesterday re: Vegas. Today, I warmed him gently about it trying to keep him out of trouble with the boss. He said ok but felt like he thought it was bullshit.

Everyone is pretty laid back and liberal in my office. Of course there are only 5 of us total. We all get in political moods/discussions all the time.

We have a guy who openly reads the conservative Boston Herald and the NY Post, then goes off on these lengthy rants about whatever he read or whatever's pissing him off at the moment. People seem to have written it off as him being him, even though I think he's an asshole.
Can't wait to hear all the Pocahontas references in the next year with Liz Warren's re-election coming up.

Super duper right wing office here. I don't hear alot of political talk, but I can hear the break room from my cube so I eaves drop from time to time. I know the guy that is always crop dusting is a Trump supporter.
Speaking of sitting near the break room. One of our microwaves is beginning to sound like a wookie. Luckily I have these Porter Robinson jams to sound out all the fart noise/trump speak/wookie calls today.

Headphones protect me from the far right in the next section over.

I have bluetooth on ears that are fantastic. I installed a bluetooth dongle to my computer, and got an extension and ran it all the way to the top of my cubicle. This way I've got enough range to walk to the water cooler AND leave my headphones on.
But normally even if I'm not listening to something I put on my headphones when I leave my cube. No one ever tries to talk to me if they're on.

About the same situation I have. We have an older lady that works at our consignment who leans left, which was refreshing for a quick second until I found out she was conspiracy theorist.
On another note, it's been a pretty frustrating two week stretch where I'm it. Employees leave, and instead of hiring replacements we just make people work extra and get upset at them when they struggle to do what is suppose to be someone else's work.
