MLKSKY 0 #1 July 10, 2006 Yeah, Corporate America is the biggest joke. I sit here all day in a gray cubicle administering pensions--crunching numbers, balancing the plans, answering calls, pushing paper... And, it seems that no matter what company I work for--I still deal with the same office baloney. This morning like 8 people called out sick, I can't find my stapler (for real), the phone is off the hook, my co-worker dumped a bunch of her work on me (so kind as to leave it on my desk while I was not here) because she is out this week taking her law school exams... So instead of being all negative and nasty about it, I am just cracking up thinking about how this reality is so much like the movie office space. At lunch today I may pick up a trout and clean it at my desk. No wonder I throw myself off the side of perfectly good airplanes. Skydiving is not crazy, office work is.

Hippie--I think that is a great idea. Just flop the work back on her desk while she is out with a sweet little note "Geez I was swamped this week and didn't get an opportunity to do this..." SWEET!

sharimcm 0 #10 July 10, 2006 Yeah, and I'm going to have to work on Saturday... I have a burgundy stapler... I wanted red, but Office Depot was sold out when I bought mine.

Twoply 0 #11 July 10, 2006 Funny flip side to that... I'm a carpenter that actually works out in the jobs sites that they were in at the end of the movie. Some days I think it's below me to do this physical work like this and I should have gone to that engineering school. Most of my drinking buddies are guys who work in offices and most of them hate it and think what I do is "real work." Some days I get to do some really thought provoking/ dangerous work and that is what keeps me out of an office. That and the fact that I'd have to get a real wardrobe.
