My supervisor left his key card at home, so he made me bring him one downstairs from the 17th floor just so that he wouldn't have to take his shoes and belt off to go through the metal detector.

I turned down a five-figure pay increase in the insurance business because I would continue working nights & weekends. I would rather free up those nights & weekends in my capacity as a county party vice chair in an election year.
I know I should feel crazy and/or stupid, yet I feel incredibly at peace with this decision.

I'm having one of those crazy days where multiple fires pop up out of the blue and you have to somehow figure them out and put them out ASAP, simultaneously. I need a clone. Or an easier job.
So many people at my workplace choose not to include their phone number or extension in their email signatures, it drives me bonkers.
I really love taking that extra step of going through the directory to contact you, thanks!
We have a mandated signature policy that everyone has to abide by. Unfortunately, I can't make outside people do that. It's amazing how bad some people are with communication. I had a guy leave his number so fast yesterday that I couldn't make out more than two digits. Of course, this number was said one at the end of a three minute message.

We have a standard signature that nobody uses, they don't want you to call, they want email trails. I'm not even able to contact the designers directly, I go through their production manager that also can only correspond to them through email. It's very frustrating sometimes. Edit: I call Mickey the other production manager FYI. Fuck that no call bullshit.

I can't tell if my coworkers are only really loud when I'm working on something really difficult/brain-bending, or if they're always loud and I just don't usually care or notice.

Being an intern is the worse.
Working with a local festival this semester, as we are suppose to be doing a Google Hangout meeting as I type this. It started at 6:45 est, as 6:50 rolled around and I still didn't have the invite email. Texted the lady that manages it all, she asked what email do I want her to send it through, I told her...she has yet to respond.
Getting ready to call it, as I am sure I will have to have a 15-20 minute phone convo for missing it...all because nobody will send me the damn link for the meeting.

My supervisor's complete lack of memory irritates me greatly. I came in today to see a file in my inbox. In it, there is a post-it note on a page commending me for the job I did on a visit then admonishing me for him not knowing about me going to this visit beforehand and not keeping him "in the loop". I proceeded to write him an email about how not only had I told him about it beforehand, but we had had an extended conversation about it where I explained my game plan for the visit. I feel like I need to start submitting everything to him in writing because he does this all the time.

Today the office smells like baby wipes. I'm guessing someone got up too late and took a Bonnaroo shower?
I'll take the cat food smell over this any day.
At this point, I can only assume there's some sort of psych testing going on in your office measuring office worker's reaction to different olfactory stimuli.
The whole office smells like dry cat food this morning. No sign of cats. WTF.
I FIGURED OUT THE SMELL.
Like 2-3 years ago there was a wreath design competition, and for some reason our office made one with all of our pets on it (cute, right?) and someone had the bright idea to ALSO adorn it with pet treats. This wreath gets pulled out every year and displayed in December, but the rest of the year it hangs behind the door of my coworker who is across the hall from me.
Crappppp. How do you tell someone they should throw out their sentimental wreath because it smells, diplomatically?
I doused my office in lavender oil, but I can still smell the cat food

Hey, I am not trying to be rude and I get your old moldy wreath is sentimental, but it stinks and you are probably causing the office to have rats and bugs. Maybe you should get over it and trash that nasty ass shit... Just trying to help.
I would say it just like that. It makes the mean not seem so mean, since you are offering help and all.
Last week I dealt endlessly with the two biggest douche bags maybe that I've ever dealt with working at the info desk. They were freaking out that the flyers they dropped off didn't get posted fast enough for their standards (policy states that they have to drop it off a week early and it can stay up for 10 days and it got posted within a week and more than 10 days before their event). They were assholes to me and my staff both in person and over the phone and called my supervisor 4 times over 2 days and each time she told them to chill. Some how unsurprisingly they are the President and vice-president of the Ayn Rand society.
I almost threw the flyers away and told them to fuck off, but then I would have had to deal with them even more. So I posted them but made sure on each board they're sandwiched between flyers for gay prom and the campus food bank.

I went to a Cookout for lunch today since I got sent out to do things on short notice. As I joined the line, a teenage couple offered to let me go ahead of them. When I tried to decline (I'm in no rush), one of them stated that he works at this location, and it's their policy that they are not allowed to stand in front of customers in line when they come in to eat. I could understand the idea from a corporate sense, but I felt really bad for the kid when he had to move back behind customers repeatedly as they came in and got in line. All the guy wanted was a milkshake too.

Welcome back Bonz, but I do not find it strange that your presence being requested in the Orgy thread and then you showing up, like it was the quacking Bonzai Bat Signal.

I want to punch people in their stupid faces.
Don't complain about MY hours when you can't even work the ones you are scheduled. I wish I could call the union on people who worry more about other people's jobs than their own. Why is minding your own business so hard for some people!
it's that time of the semester where kids are freaking out about their grades and I get inundated with last minute begging, pleading, lying, negotiating, arguing emails at all hours of the day.
edit: also, the blackboard software is so bad. so, so bad.
But this is what I'd really like to say, for sure.
