I've taken such a dislike to my coworkers...

[DrMachine]

that I not only have to have my iPOD playing at all times, but I now have to wear my sunglasses like douche so I can pretend I don't see them signalling me to ask me some inane question...

Is there any hope for me?

No, Ipod is one thing.. The sunglasses, as cool as that sounds, is a bit much.

[TRILL, THE CARBON BASED LIFEFORM]

What makes them so terrible?

[DrMachine]

as I type this they are out in the hallway signaling me to go eat cake with them...it's like a bad seinfeld episode...everyone has a fucking birthday every fucking day of the week

I'm going to ignore them till they go away

:lol:

Ahh.. You're THAT guy. Mr. to good for the office guy.

[gwyllgi]

Sounds like a lot of fun. Where are you working, the temp office in "Dead Like Me?"

[Balthazar]

Cake? Those Bastards!

[Thudpucker]

If you can stand being extemey unpopular at work, then who cares? Screw them and ignore them.

If not, you might want to find a new job.

honestly I just want to be left alone to get my work done but the questions never stop...I think I might be becoming neurotic

I KNOW...I'd wear a fucking blindfold if I could get away with it

not really an option...I'm too close to graduating


Ahh.. You're THAT guy. Mr. to good for the office guy.

it's not an office...that would be one thing...

it's a university research lab...where we're supposed to be doing science

[gwyllgi]

they're acting like that at a LAB?

sheesh.

[Keith P.]

Are you trying to genetically engineer the perfect cake?

[Taxman]

At least you're near the end of the line with this.

I'm mostly venting between genome searches
:lol:

but yeah..it was funny at first but now I know why they never get anything done, and I do all the talking at the meetings

[TRILL, THE CARBON BASED LIFEFORM]

A co-worker likes to talk endlessly and ask the same question over and over with different phrasing. We have cubicles so I don't pay attention to her. If she asks a direct question I make like I didn't hear it or give a half hearted yes or no. She's a sweet heart, but come on.
The cake thing is overwhelming all the time. I just say I'm full and they stop asking.

[DrMachine]

kind of my work has to do with lipid metabolism (but not in humans)


At least you're near the end of the line with this.

AMEN!

[Keith P.]

You should try to create a cake/pie hybrid. Something that combines the best qualities of cake and pie.

With nanos.

Who says scientists don't know how to have fun?

What about the co-workers who get so worked up about each person's birthday or whatever. That gets a little old.

[Jason_BANNED]

So, Mr. Big Science Man is too good to eat cake with his coworkers?



yeah, I got nothing. Your high falutin' smarty pants scientist job makes me realize how inferior my intellect is and I'm just jealous...

plus you're married to Super Girl, for crying out loud. The rest of us just can't compete. ;)

Maybe it's alrealy here: Cheesecake. It has cake in the name, but it looks like pie.

[alexlannin]

I take it you're not in the program to teach?

[Balthazar]

My work outlawed birthday crap at work. Just for this reason.

Isn;t there anyone you can report these people to? Just start complaining to management and you'll quickly get a reputation as a narc. You'll be alienated in a week.

You could do worse. I used to work with someone who loudly cursed out anybody who tried to talk to him while he was working.

[TRILL, THE CARBON BASED LIFEFORM]

sheesh.
You didn't have to walk too far behind the lab I used to work at to find beer cans. It was located right next to a college campus, so I blame the stinkin' students.

I'm going to bring it up and REALLY be a bad guy at the meeting on Friday...

this should fun atleast :lol:


I take it you're not in the program to teach?

:lol:
don't even get me started with that...I'm expected to teach as part of my education...and I enjoy talking about science (which is basically all the lecture is) but I have a low tolerance for particular students (freshmen)


You could do worse. I used to work with someone who loudly cursed out anybody who tried to talk to him while he was working.

okay...so the sunglasses were an exaggeration on my part (but I'm tempted!)...I don't think I'll ever get this far in my neuroses

I'm sure your not curing cancer over there, just go eat some cake Beakman.

I once worked with a guy who supposedly had some strange brain disorder. He would have these (seizers spells) where he would just start yelling profanities, or maybe just start saying "you're OK Tim" over and over.

when I was working on my MS, there was a woman that worked in the same building as me that used to "beep" really loudly

she said she had tourette's syndrome

Yeah, I don't know what this guy's story was but it wasn't that. He had a variety of other traits that managed to piss everyone off. I used to tell people I was going to push him down the stairs during one of his "attacks".

[Taki Soma]

I understand the growing dislike of your co-workers. I've had those feelings too where every single word uttered out of these people make you cringe with black hatred of death inside, burning to a crisp char.

yep. I know those feelings.

Taki...if I weren't already married....well then I'd be single and lonely...


but that statement NAILED it!

[Keith P.]

Do what I do.

Quickly run in, grab a piece of cake and then scuttle back to your work area crouching over your cake and growling in a menacing manner at any co-workers that approach.

Do we work at the same place? Because I've used that phrase before also.

Really, though, I love my coworkers. About 90% of them.

Anything else I can't say because they could very well be part of this board without me knowing. Those bastards are sneaky like that.

[Pat Loika]

JR, sorry to hear that. I'm lucky I get along with all my co-workers, except my superiors (actually, that will soon change, HA HA)...

The way I see it though, you're stuck with these people. Might as well make it pleasant for yourself and everyone else, you know? Then again, I'm too easy to get along with...and it takes a LOT to get me pissed off.

Cake? :D

Bwa ha ha ha. That's a great face.

[Sir Erudite Gav]

What you should do is buy a giant chocolate cake and eat it all by yourself making sure to get chocolate round your mouth. Sure it won't solve anything but it'll be highly satisfying.

Luckily, after almost 4 years, my co-workers are all aware of my seething, violent hatred and contempt for them.

[Pat Loika]

Intriguing.

:Please: (PM it to me if it's not board safe.)

It's board safe, but it's at my home computer. It's basically a picture of me wiping a coffee stain from my shirt. I don't know why I was photographed, BUT, being the man that I am, I HAD to ham it up!

I'll post it once my home computer is back online..

[DrMachine]

I think they got the hint today...tomorrow I'm sure it will be someone else's birthday...or somebody's uncle's cousins neice's birthday
