Cerberus Posted December 14, 2017 Share Posted December 14, 2017 The arsey shipping/receiving department guy. Me - I ordered a ______________ 4 weeks ago, did it come in yet? Him - (without looking up) No. Me - Can you check the status? Him - Do you have a FedEx tracking number? Me - No. I wasn't sent one or I would have looked myself. Him - Have you looked in the ordering system? Me - No. I would have looked myself if I could. Him - Do you have a PO number? Me - Yes! _________ Him - (Looks at computer) it says it was a missed delivery. Me - When did they attempt delivery? Him - Yesterday at 3:45pm. Me - Was no one here? Him - No. We were closed. Me - At 3:45pm? Can we rearrange delivery? Him - You'll need to call FedEx. Me - Can you call them with a good time for them to arrive? Him - No. I need to watch the dock in case we miss a delivery. Me - C'mon to f**k. What's the FedEx tracking number? Him - (sighs) here. Me - (Calls FedEx) Can we reschedule delivery please? FedEx - OK. Here's the date. Me - (to him) They are going to come tomorrow at 1:30pm. Him - I'll be on lunch. Me - OK. Will anyone else be here? Him - No. Me - Fine. I'll let him in. Him - You're not allowed to. Call FedEx back and rearrange for 1pm instead. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alert Mongoose Posted December 14, 2017 Share Posted December 14, 2017 There is about 30 people work in my department and one of these goes round almost every week for a wedding, engagement, landmark birthday, retirement, family death, new baby etc. I've never seen a minimum amount specified though that is a new low. I refuse to contribute now unless I actually like the person and only for wedding or engagement (not both), new babies (max of 3 per person) or retirements. I've become quite talented at the art of envelope flicking. One hand flamboyantly making to put a coin on the top while the other makes a well timed imitation of the coins landing at the bottom of the envelope. Practice makes perfect. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rugster Posted December 15, 2017 Share Posted December 15, 2017 Christmas jumper day. They're all flouncing around with stupid jumpers on and reindeer antler things on their nappers. It's not a fucking party, you're here to work. Think my door will be closed most of today. Shrieking banshees. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, I'm not winning, I'm doing one bit of work before I move onto the next. If you have nothing of interest to say then just don't bother. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Moonster Posted December 15, 2017 Share Posted December 15, 2017 19 hours ago, Torpar said: In my last job in Scotland, there was one guy, slightly odd but harmless, chubby lad who smoked a lot. He was collecting money to walk the West Highland Way, as usual I donated nothing. He went off on the Friday with everyone's best wishes, see you in a week. I felt quite bad for thinking 'there is no way he's going to manage this' He came back the next week looking rather sheepish and wasn't too keen on making conversation with anyone. Turns he quit after less than a day because he was tired. As far as I know, no one asked for their money back If I had a quid for every time I'd heard of someone saying they were going to do the West Highland Way only to shite out after a day I wouldn't need to work again. I often wonder what sort of walk these c***s think they're getting themselves in for. It's the fucking highlands ya muppet, it's not a stroll up your local crags. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If this allows you to stop working please share your secret. Preferably with a new thread. -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This might surprise you, but I haven't been keeping count, I just used an expression to exaggerate the amount of times I'd heard of people doing that. But, you knew that anyway and this back and forth has just been a massive waste of time, time that you can ill afford to waste, you auld c**t. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As it is I intend to retire in just over 4 years unless I win millions on the lottery. So so probably just over 4 years. -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Richey Edwards Posted December 16, 2017 Share Posted December 16, 2017 (edited) It's my work Christmas nightout tonight. Naturally I'm going and quietly disappearing home at around 11 because by that time the Twilight Zone will be in effect and everyone will be boring and talking nonsense.

Louis Litt Posted December 16, 2017 Share Posted December 16, 2017 It's mine tonight as well. I work with a great bunch though, so it should hopefully be very decent. Already looking forward to the awkwardness of Monday for whoever makes the biggest arse of it. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
