I was not hired to be a fucking receptionist. Before I took this job, I was told that I would only be dealing with people within the organization. I am going to end up headbutting some old ass retard before the end of the year at this rate.

People don't understand extremely basic concepts, like our hours. I legitimately encountered someone last week who couldn't divide by two, and this person was supposedly an attorney.

Never underestimate the stupidity of supposedly educated people when they're separated from the herd and asked to use their brains independently.

We're getting about 34 brand new four wheel drive trucks added into our fleet at work this fiscal year. Now, who do you think is getting them? Surely, it's the department that does field collecting in rural areas, and has all of six vehicles, three of which are broken and still pending a work order to go to the shop and one of which is such a fucking piece of shit that they're scrapping it? Also, did I mention there's two working vehicles, but four employees doing the collecting, thus limiting our range and variety? Surely, some nice new 4x4 trucks with great capacity and fuel efficiency would be a godsend for us, right?

Well, wrong.

34 new vehicles, and they all go to plant inspectors who probably never travel more than ten miles outside the nearest city.

I have a stick up his ass supervisor. He's always sending these nasty accusatory emails to me. One was where he wanted to have a meeting with me about how much material I had checked out [at the library where we work]. I told him a meeting wouldn't be needed and I'd return everything Monday. He bitch fit about that and we had to have a meeting about his bitchfit + me returning all my materials.

I'm so tired of these constant meetings I have to have with him. We clash constantly because he's so uptight and I'm constantly on edge. This was the only job I got after searching and going on interview after interview for a year and a half.

What was your degree in?
 
Parents of children at work get pissed at me when I have to go up to their unruly children who are screaming at the cats or banging on the cage and ask them to stop. I've gotten pretty good at being gentle about it, especially with younger children. Teach your damn kids to behave and don't get mad at me when I have to ask them to calm their tits because I'm doing your job for you
A kitten hissed at some kids who ran up to her cage and I asked them not to touch her because she was scared and their mum looked at me like I was Satan. What would we have done had the kitten scratched those kids? My supervisor always takes my side because they fucking hate when kids scream in cat's faces too

What if that place just decided to ban kids?

It's in a mall (so the cats can be more visible to the public and thus have a better chance of being adopted) so it'd be kind of hard. We don't allow children in without supervision but what's the point when the parents do nothing to stop bad behaviour

> have a gubbmint job.

> job is second shift.

> boss is chill as fuck for the single hour our shifts overlap.

> job is literally running government buildings while they're unoccupied.

> buildings pretty much run themselves anyway.

> occasionally have to go and spin wrenches on something, but nobody is around to see me do it. mostly just log equipment and check on things.

I couldn't handle a real job anymore.

So, a genius at HQ decided to tinker with the power supply for our servers.
For those of you who don't know, power supplies are mostly an electrical thing, not an electronic thing.
He is not an electrician.
All servers were down for almost all of yesterday. There was so little to do that they let us go home early, and we're salaried, so it doesn't cost them anything for us to be there.
 
Hey LordKaT, you know how you woke up about 3 hours before dawn to walk to the bus station in 25 degree weather, ride the bus for two hours and get in the office so early you have to sign in at the front desk just so you can be on this sales demo?

It's cancelled. Actually it was cancelled last week but we never told anyone.

With love,
Sales

A few days ago we did some very rough draft paste-up type things of some ads we're going to run in the future.
"Yo this is Boss. Super Boss says we're ready to send those ads and they start tomorrow"
wat
"Yeah finish them up and ship them out"
wat

On the plus side Super Boss did the final tweaking on the ads so at least the blood's on his hands instead of mine.
