Showing Original Post only (View all)I have been reprimanded for "swearing" too much at work. [View all]
This is an office environment in which my voice is not audible to the occasional customer on anyone else's phone. But with multiple computer applications and not-infrequent system glitches to deal with, I am wont to utter the occasional "crap", "dammit", "shit", or "fudge" (literally, I say "fudge", not "fuck" . I never use f-bombs or sex-related words.
Apparently histrionic fits of coughing and sneezing, and loud fits of laughing are perfectly OK.
Please help me find some appropriate "expletives" to vent my frustrations.
