We just try to avoid them altogether. Our offices are 25 feet apart and we communicate via google instant messages and email 99% of the time.

All meetings do is cut into break time. I managed to avoid all but one over the years. If they wanted anything from me it came in e-mail form. Any other time I felt the need for one I would just yell from my desk

 

I bet you don't do that now.

 

I can't, I don't have a desk anymore. At least now when there is a meeting its actually important and not the department head rambling on

 

The meetings now are called by the inmate's union.

 

they just whine alot. Not my job to meet with them. Every now and then the brass will hold a briefing if there is a good reason. But its right to the point and done in 10 minutes

 

Eating lunch at home is not overrated.

 

Its the place to do it, having a beer with a burger might be frowned upon at work

 

Hi everyone, computer at work has been giving me trouble. Keep's locking up, may have to clean it out with some milk of magnesia!

 

Just do what an old co-worker of mine did. Dump a coffee down on it. They just love that. Stopped locking up (and doing anything else)

 

I just tell the IT guy here at work if he doesnt fix it soon its going to come to your office with a .45 caliber hole through it.

 

I would love to see the work order for that one.
-replacement of case with .5 inch hole
-Removal of 45ACP slug

 

All the offices for purchasing are in a row and right across from my fathers and we occasionaly yell back and forth. It usually gets my father to walk by shaking his head and muttering something like where did I go wrong.

 

I wonder how I would explain that one.

 

Thats easy... "It was like that when I got here"
