Hell I'm in the military and I say that

On a similar note, people who have never lived overseas bitching and moaning about how America is a shitty place to live. Mother fuckers, go spend a year or two in 90% of the countries in the world and then see how bad you think the USA is. America isn't perfect--far from it, of course--but compared to the vast majority of the rest of the world it's a god damn paradise.

I've bitched about this before, but I have a bunch of these to do at work where my software has this glitch (six months now) that causes a 40 second delay after every input. And I've already run out of my usual SFW crap to read on the internet for the day.

I need ideas for more SFW 30 second time wasters, I guess is what I'm saying. I've already caught up on my fark.com. Image heavy, obviously-not-work shit is a no-no. Not because of any rule per se, I just don't want to be a dick when I'm only here 20 hours a week as it is.

Fuck does this bugged shit software suck. As near as we can tell, they've never investigated it.

Cracked.com usually has 4-5 new articles daily and they're always at least decent and most are funny and informative. I've got a large number of co-workers that make that their first stop on browsing at work.

Exactly, dude was a fat fuck. The shit show continues with him. After the whole ridiculousness with him coming with a police escort yesterday to get his shit back, my safety guy who'd dealt with him and the police told me that his wife had said something to him about how she had a voicemail saved where my brother said to not worry about his job, that he was just supposed to get well and everything would be okay etc. He told my bro and I that, and my bro was like "what the fuck is she talking about? I maybe left him a voicemail the last time he missed 5 days in a row (he had some sort of angina or panic attack at his desk and had to be carted away in an ambulance). I haven't left a voicemail or spoken with his wife in weeks or months." So then it occurred to me that I had spoken with her last week, and had said similar things. Because what else do you say when someone calls in and says their husband is having a psychotic break and doesn't know who he is? "Tell him to get his crazy ass back to work or we are firing him?" Right, that goes over well. I basically said "jeez, hope he's okay. Obviously his health is a priority, please keep us updated on his condition" to get off the phone with her.

Long story short, I'm positive at this point that she recorded that phone conversation without my knowledge or permission. That's the brand of crazy I'm dealing with here. And the reason I think that is when we first interviewed him for a job, he was 20 minutes late for the interview on a Saturday. We joked that he wasn't off to a good start, he apologized for being late and said he'd had his truck in the shop. So making conversation we were like "oh, getting a remote starter installed?" or some shit like that. He then proceeded to proudly tell us that his wife was involved in some sort of car accident dispute previously and he was having cameras installed in all his vehicles to prevent that shit from happening in the future. Once I remembered that, it was a pretty short jump to "that bitch was recording her phone call when she called in sick for him last week." I mean, it's ridiculous enough that a grown fucking man can't call in sick for himself and gets his wife to do it. But not only that, she apparently recorded the phone call.

When he picked up his belongings yesterday, he wanted access to his workstation to get his personal files off it. One of the police officers came and found me and asked if he could do that. I said absolutely not, he will have to give me a list of what specifically he wants, and where to find it, and I'd send it to him. She said fine, no problem. So this morning I get this big long, butt hurt email from him listing his shit (why in the fuck he had this much personal shit on a company computer, I have no idea). And he gives me an ultimatum that if he doesn't have it by the end of the day, he'll be back with the police again. I just laughed and responded that I'll get him his stuff in the next couple days, to not expect it today because I'm too busy to look in to it, and that he shouldn't feel the need to call the cops again.

So I fully expect a SWAT team at my office tomorrow morning because this guy is fucking crazy.

Personal shit on company computers

We had a guy get canned and IT was going through his work PC cleaning it up. Found a folder full of pics of certain female employees in all kinds of places, walking into their houses, out shopping, running errands, etc. They appear to all have been taken from a parked car. Police are now involved (it was like 1 month ago they were found, so pretty recent), haven't heard any more about if they arrested him or what, kind of out of the loop at this point as it's not related to work.

Scariest part is from what a supervisor buddy told me is that one of the girls said some outfit she's wearing in one of the pics she hasn't worn in over 2 years. Crazy fuck has been at it for years and been getting away with it.

If I look through his shit and find compromising pictures of my (all male) plumbers, I am going to hit maximum over-rustle.

Ever wonder what sick fucks buy those huge ass crossword puzzle/sodoku books at walmart, thinking you might kill yourself if you ever got that way? Well......

I moved out of the States getting close to a year ago now.... Fuck the US. All I hear coming out of there is the most retarded shit. And most the Americans I've met while over here are crazy cunts. America has absolutely nothing on other first world nations... and even some not so first world.

What the fuck? Is this a Canada thing? Maybe I've just been in government too long, but I swear there's some kind of law or understanding that anything that takes place on company property is...property of the company (e.g. there's no reasonable expectation that your phone calls are private for instance). There's no such thing as "personal files" on a work computer.

Ya, I see a nice huge warning at my login screen stating this every morning. I would assume that private companies are just as strict if not more so than the government.

99% of the time any terminated employee asking for personal shit off their work PC is going to look like an asshole. "I have 50GB of mp3's on there, can I get them off?" kind of shit.

If I were management and had to make the call, it would have to be something like pictures of your kids that don't exist anywhere else, then I'd be willing to help. Other than that, fuck them for not thinking ahead.

I can't believe there's even a talk involved beyond "leave and we'll keep the computer". If you told me your work computer had pictures of your kid that were no where else I'm pretty sure I would say you should have thought about that a little more.

I guess people nowdays just take it for granted they can do anything on a work computer. A few months ago I took a new job with a company I have been doing contract work for a long time. The upper management (small company) are really starting to drop like flies due to retirement and the owner brought me in to start learning their way of doing things before I take over one of the top spots. I'm working my way thru various departments. It was announced my first day I would be taking over a key management spot and people still sit next to me all day playing an online game while making multiple people waiting in the shop for an answer that would take minutes to come up with. I'm not sure how you think playing a game 4-5 hours a day in front of your soon to be boss is a great career move when everything we do is time sensitive.

Edit - yes I know it's poorly worded. Because of weather I've been up for almost 48 hours. At least I think if it's still Tuesday.

Even if I don't agree with your opinion, I respect the fact that you are speaking from personal experience. I just get rustled when people complain without the faintest idea about how people live elsewhere in the world. If someone moves abroad and decides that it's better than living in the U.S.A., more power to them!

Bad bo, hipsters, liberals, dumbasses

I agree with you and the other couple of people around here, and I'd imagine it works no differently here in Soviet Canuckistan. Like I said, he threatened to call the cops a second time in his email, but I'm not worried about that. The cops would tell him it's not a criminal matter, but a civil matter. If he wants to hire a lawyer to threaten me with a lawsuit if I don't get him his shit immediately, he's welcome to do that. I could tell him to fuck off and that I've deleted all his shit, but I'm trying to just make this asshole go away, so when I find 20 minutes I'll take a quick look through his computer and send him what I find.

But again, this guy and his wife are fucking loco, logic doesn't work on people like this.

A girl I worked with in the past carried a baby almost to term and miscarried yesterday. This morning, she posted at least a dozen photos of her dead baby on Facebook. I find this to be in the worst taste and absolutey disgusting. Now she is asking for financial help with a funeral. How the fuck were you going to take care of the baby if you can't afford to bury it? Jimmies rustled.
