Read this, and wanted to smite badly.  I get that there is real discussion over the wars, I get that there is disagreement over the ways, ends, and means...

 

When an organization who's sole purpose is to support veterans cannot muster a single Doctor to talk to a veteran who just attempted suicide?

 

Smite doesn't cover it.

Things Mark is not allowed to do at work:

 

 

After learning that the operator in the data center doesn't know how to do a job restart, suggest that he'd like to speak to someone with an IQ higher than room temperature.

 

Mention that we never have time to do things right the first time, but always have time to redo them.

 

Hum the Scarecrow's tune from The Wizard of Oz during staff meetings.

 

Answer the phone "Psychiatric Center, which nut would you like to speak to?"

 

Hand a tissue to the office apple-polisher and suggest he wipe his nose.

 

Hand chap stick to same.

 

Suggest that there's a better way to do things.

 

Especially if there is.

 

MOST especially if we've always done things this way.

 

Ask a co-worker what it was like to ride the short bus to school.

 

Suggest consanguinity as the reason for someone's behavior.

 

Use this song:
as his new-e-mail notification.

 

Change his computer start-up tune from the Window's jingle to Johnny Paycheck's Take This Job and Shove it

 

Suggest that the gene pool needs more chlorine.

 

The proper response to learning that a co-worker is expecting a baby is "Congratulations", not "Great, now I'll have to do my job AND yours."

 

Speculate on whether a lobotomy is a requirement for promotion.

 

The correct response to someone's suggestion is "I'm not sure that would work", not "Whatever you've been drinking, I want some".

 

Ask the Fire Safety Director why he didn't perform the daily test on the PA system on your floor that day (when he did).

 

During orientation, ask if the insurance payment for Accidental Death and Dismemberment is paid for EACH dismemberment, or only the first (actually done at a former job, but not by me).

 

March down the hall singing the cadence his father (a former Marine) taught him that begins "I knew a girl from Jersey City..."

 

Or pretty much any other cadence from that source.

 

Begin an e-mail with "Hello Muddah, hello Faddah".

 

Conduct a detailed search of the office. When asked why, say "I'm looking for the video camera Scott Adams installed".

 

Refer to his cubicle as "The Box".

 

Refer to the people he leads as "Mark's Problem Children".

 

When asked to comment on someone's strengths, state "He'd make good fertilizer if you ground him up small enough."

 

When asked to evaluate software, suggesting that it's so buggy the company should merge with Raid may be true, but it's not helpful.

 

Refer to users as "Houseplants".

 

Suggest that someone has the IQ of a mentally deficient cockroach.

 

Tell a manager she need not fear that he'll shoot her, if he were really upset with her he'd take more satisfaction from strangling her with his bare hands than shooting her.

 

Upon learning of a manager's scheduled vacation, reply "Good, I can get some work done".

 

Call in dead.

 

Arrive at work the next day dressed and made-up as a zombie.

 

Ask his manager if she bought stock in Sam Adams, because she's driving him to drink.

 

When a co-worker asks what he should do, reply "Your job".

 

Remind people that you can't hear them when they shake their head in reply to a question while on the phone.

 

Suggest that the Screw-up Fairy has visited.

 

Suggest that The Office is a documentary.

 

Place rubber roaches in people's coffee cups.

 

Place real roaches in people's coffee cups.

 

Name the cockroaches.

 

Name the fruit flies

 

Name anything with six legs

 

Name the spiders.

 

Suggest to two co-workers that if you multiplied their IQs together they STILL couldn't qualify for Mensa.

I went through three months of a class, ended the semester with a 69.... It was a bad class for me, and I busted my ass to get that 69..... passing was a 70.

 

I saw the same teacher the next semester.... that became a running joke in the class after that.

Sympathy-smites: texting with my wife who is in her second year of environmental engineering and management... three people are currently crying in the road engineering class, which just started on Tuesday. 

The cancer was aggressive, but the chemotherapy was aggressive, as well.

There was aggression on both sides.

Client installed a new version of the database software.  Didn't bother to test the application before implementing in production.  What could possibly go wrong?

 

Lots and lots.  Spent 2 1/2 hours last night fixing programs that have worked for DECADES, all while Operations calls me every 15 minutes to find out if I'm done yet because the stalled job is delaying the cycle.  

 

This, boys and girls, is why you TEST.  I've spent 30 years as a programmer with a policy of "If it hasn't been tested it doesn't work.  If it has been tested it probably STILL doesn't work, but at least you get the low-hanging fruit."

Me: "You didn't ask me to."

I really should've entered this contest I'm judging, because 3/4 of the entries are total shit and there's cash prizes.  Unfortunately, it's too late.

How does anyone manage to make THAT much of a mess in the men's room at work?  How did they get poop not only on TOP of the toilet seat, but on the toilet BEHIND the seat AND on the (expletive deleted) wall the toilet is attached to?????  Did you not complete the task of sitting before you ejected, or are you one of those germophobes who just must HOVER while evacuating your bowels?

 

If was truly Lovecraftian.  I felt sorry for the poor soul who had to clean up that mess, and I seriously expected return to find the stall door locked and a sign stating "Out Of Order" rather than having it cleaned.
