So a new guy started today, just set up his computer at his desk

[DainBramaged]

Sales guy to replace a guy who is out on disability for a few months (not a permanent position) He wanted ClusterFAUX as his home page (alarm bells, sirens, cannons going off in my head).

When I told him it's blocked here (pats self on back) because it isn't 'news' and management is wary of the influence on productivity, he went fucking ballistic.

:rofl:

Wait till he finds out ALL of the Freepturd sites are blocked here.......

[Lars39]

1. And wait till he finds out DU isn't.

:evilgrin:

[DainBramaged]

9. I told him his homepage choices were M$NBC, CNN or USA Today

he chose USA Today......

World Nuts Daily, Free Republicturd, Politico, the NRA, all blocked.....

[MindPilot]

16. And when you get back to your desk,

access his registry and change it dailykos. Oh and don't forget to remove his permissions to change that key.

[DainBramaged]

20. I copied my thumb drive favorites to his favorites

You can only guess.... (got a call, brb).

[wryter2000]

2. Lemme get this straight

He just started a job and got ballistic because something not-work-related is blocked on his computer? He sounds like a winner all around.

[Ken Burch]

13. And this guy,in a recession, beat out hundreds of OTHER people for the job?

:wtf:

You should have told him "make the NAMBLA site your homepage...the boss does...he'll love it that you do the same".

[DainBramaged]

19. He USED to work for our other dealership

so they hired him back to fill in here for a few months. I don't know why he isn't at the other place anymore. I wish I was involved in that decision making process....

[Ken Burch]

21. Is your other dealership still open?

n/t.

[DainBramaged]

42. Yeah, but the owner is on vacation so I'll find out next week

why this guy is no longer there. It must have been a while ago because they've owned us for over a year and I never saw him there. maybe he was a 'casualty' of one of the GM/Chrysler dealer franchise revocations.

[niyad]

3. so, is he going to sue, or quit?

[Ian David]

4. Good for you! Keep up the good work!

What ever else you can do to make him miserable, I suggest you do.

[lunatica]

5. Enjoy yourself and keep us posted

[DainBramaged]

14. He got the "do not attempt to download or install ANYTHING" lecture

the look on his face was priceless........

He is a small version of Joe the Plumber, big belly, bald, and talks like a typical car salesman (Happy Days vocabulary), which is sad he was chosen to replace the older guy temporarily. The guy who is out is one of the few classy guys in the business.

[ejpoeta]

27. well, on the positive side.... at least it IS only temporary.

[Warpy]

6. Jeez, he's going to be like somebody took his binkie away

if he can't check his propaganda every ten minutes or so. Expect serious withdrawal symptoms if he sticks it out for more than a week.

[NYC_SKP]

7. He'll be getting a web-enabled cell phone or PDA...

...and disappearing into the bathroom.

A LOT.

eeeeeewwwww.

:P

[imdjh]

8. Now THAT's funny.

I don't normally approve of site blockage, but this is funnyworthy, so it's OK.

[OffWithTheirHeads]

10. You need to download and print out a huge pic of the Obama family

(preferably on an office printer) and frame it and put it on your desk.

[DainBramaged]

15. Bill Clinton is on my wall, that makes them spastic

I am looking for a good Obama one with the family.

[krispos42]

66. You need a big portrait of FDR

He'll probably cross himself and begin praying....

[katanalori]

25. YES!

Preferably one with Michelle baring her arms!

[cascadiance]

28. Does he have bumper stickers on his car in the parking lot?

Perhaps putting this on his car would also help him feel welcome!

[MineralMan]

11. Oh, noes...the poor guy. Whatever will he do?

Whine and moan and gnash his teeth, I guess. Too bad. Temporary employees don't get to set policy in most businesses. Pity, that.

[MindPilot]

12. Since he sounds pretty gullible,

tell him he is not allowed to make any Cash4Clunkers sales, because that would be, you know, socialism.

Sometimes it's good to be king.

[DainBramaged]

18. I training him later, since I am the Clunk admin....

That should be a barrel of laughs..... OOPS JUST got a call from him he has ISSUES, he already forgot his log-on password.


:rofl:

[Joanie Baloney]

26. Oh, Goody!

Assign him "Obama!1!" as his temp password.

Heh, heh.



:crazy:

-JB

[MindPilot]

30. "!" is not a valid password charactor

but "moran43" would work

[DainBramaged]

35. ! is, I use it on our documents server.........

He is pissed at me enough for one day.


:patriot:
Wait til he looks at his 'favorites'. Crooks and Liars is the first one.

[Hawkeye-X]

39. and make it unchangeable

After all, he's only there for a few months!

[DainBramaged]

40. I set it up with Dial-a-Fix

he can't change or modify ANY settings.

[Glenda]

73. LOL!!! I'm thoroughly enjoying this thread...

and burst out laughing when i got to this post: "Obama!1!" as his temp password.

:spray:

[Joanie Baloney]

74. Thanks Glenda!

I LOL'ed too.

:D

[DontTreadOnMe]

17. Does your office area have a very large photo...

of the current President?

[HowHasItComeToThis]

24. CAN I HAVE YOUR ATTENTION PLEASE

[Romulox]

22. I lol'd! nt

[formercia]

23. I can see this guy has his priorities.

Most people, except mistresses, cronies and such are hired to work, not watch Faux News.

It would be a shame if the boss found out this creep was a slacker.

[kenny blankenship]

29. Careful. These are the guys that show up one day with their semi-auto strap-on assault dildo

and you just made the top of his list.

[DainBramaged]

37. He doesn't know that I have access to his system

and will be causing havoc regularly.

[booley]

31. hate to say it

But it will only feed his con victim complex.

[DainBramaged]

34. Fuck him, 15 minutes on the job and he doesn't like his chair

My response was 'maybe it's not the seat but the ass in it'.

He is still red and VERY quiet.


The GM agrees he isn't long for employment here. And now I think we understand why he isn't at our other place.
Time for some LIBERAL lunch.......

[Fire1]

32. I would've loved to have seen the look on his face. n/t

[DU GrovelBot]

33. ## PLEASE DONATE TO DEMOCRATIC UNDERGROUND! ##

This week is our third quarter 2009 fund drive. Democratic Underground is
a completely independent website. We depend on donations from our members
to cover our costs. Please take a moment to donate! Thank you!

[Politicalboi]

36. He might call

Faux Police on you. :rofl:

[DainBramaged]

38. I've decided to call him Turd the Freep guy

Tuesday is his day off. He'll be getting this as his desktop background......

[udbcrzy2]

41. I love that!!!

Wow, that's very funny and I needed a good laugh. Wish more employers were like that.
My husband works for a dealer and I will have to tell him because I'm sure he will need
a good laugh too. Keep us updated on the progress of turds employment.

[DainBramaged]

43. He doesn't know I have Log me In installed on his computer

so when I take over his mouse and start opening Du and Kos and maybe Rude Pundit his head will explode.

[MindPilot]

45. Ya know I just applied yesterday for a job doing admin at a local Ford dealer

I really miss the dealership and hope I get the job. This story makes me want it all the more....

[DainBramaged]

51. I hope you get it my friend, and I JUST got back from interviewing at a

(OMG HE's GONNA SAY IT) TOYOTA dealership owned by people I know down the road who heard about my amazing prowess and wanted to know if I would do freelance for them and get their place cleaned up. Nights and weekends, I'm loving it......

[Obamanaut]

46. And you're doing this on a company computer on company time?

If you were to ever take a lie detector test and they ask you have you ever stolen from your employer, would you answer truthfully - "yes"?

And posting on forums on company time as well?

[CitizenPatriot]

49. I don't know about dealerships

but a lot of sales jobs are not employee jobs- you're an independent contractor, using their space and equipment to make sales. you get paid commissions, so if you don't work, you lose. It's your own problem.

Not sure if that applies here, but it is true for real estate jobs, etc.

[DainBramaged]

50. Not quite sure what you are replying to but I OWN the equipment

I post on at work, and my INMMEDIATE supervisor who is a Dem thinks DU is a hoot, so I post without fear of retribution. The son of the owners, who also happens to be a LIBERAL and a lawyer (his parents are Repugnants) is more concerned about me 'guarding the gate' than posting on DU a couple minutes a day.

[CitizenPatriot]

52. hey!!!! Dain bramaged! i was defending you

someone above said something about you using the equipment while working and wasn't that stealing, so I was replying that in my experience, independent contractors don't work that way...

is that post gone now or something????

i got a total kick out of your story and even downloaded the map, read it to my husband...it's all good.

[DainBramaged]

55. Certain posts in this thread are 'ahem' invisible

because I choose NOT to read what their authors have to say. I had the chance to think up some other evil stuff, like pictures of the Obama family as his screen saver! And printing pictures of Ted Kennedy on his printer, or articles from TPM and Buzz Flash on his printer......:hi: :hug:

[CitizenPatriot]

59. LOL-- I See, U Don't See

I like the screen saver idea -- very nice! fade into the First Family in front of the White House....Let us know what you do. I haven't laughed that hard in a LONG time!!!

[AuntPatsy]

60. dont forget to report back.....

[orleans]

67. are you this much fun at parties too? no wonder you don't get asked to dance. UGH! n/t

[DainBramaged]

71. Some folks here just don't like NOT being the center of attention

know what I mean?

:toast:

[Liberal_Dog]

44. You Made My Day

:applause:

[ddeclue]

47. I was so proud of my boss today.. he dressed down one of my wing-nut coworkers on healthcare reform

It's actually very weird, I've never actually worked for a liberal in real life before - my bosses have always been conservatives outside of the world of politics.

I'M LOVING IT!

:)

[MrScorpio]

48. You're my hero

All praise you!

[Odin2005]

53. BWAHAHAHAHA!!!

That is so pathetic it's hilarious!

[Thickasabrick]

54. Hey, thanks for the heads up on DialaFix. Just used it and things

seem to be running better!

[DainBramaged]

56. A GREAT program, fixes all kinds of errors, user created or otherwise in XP

THAT made my day that you picked up on it!

58. Love your evil deeds, DainBramaged!

:rofl:ing my ASS off!

you make me wish I were a computer head, because I would love to be able to commit such acts of mayhem :D
Sadly, I'm kind of a Luddite. :shrug:

[Hawkeye-X]

63. I do have a Log me in access to a certain Republican millionaire's home computer

as he is one of our clients. I dream of doing nasty things to it... and get $ out of it. But I work honestly, so he does pay the bills.

For a Republican, he's actually a very nice man as long as you don't discuss politics with him. He's an oilman, and is about to drill Williamsport, PA. (Marcellus Shale)

Hawkeye-X

[ConnorMarc]

61. Mwuahahahahahahahahahahaha!!

AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH!!!

Too funny.

Keep up the good work.

[and-justice-for-all]

62. Haha!! Good work mate..

If me or my partner goes anywhere and sees that shit on their Tv, we ask them to change it or turn it off.

[MyNameGoesHere]

64. I love when Democrats

use their made up influence to block freeptard sites. It makes you so much a repuke.

[SpookyCat]

65. Websense blocks these sites where I work.

It's not arbitrary. We don't sit in the server room and go "heh...let's block THIS site...that'll show 'em!"

Free Republic is blocked as a Hate site, DU is not.

Websense can get false positives, though. When I first started at my job I was setting up my normal favorites, one of which was a site call Girl Geeks for women in IT. Well I got the big block page with "Access to this Porn site is blocked" RAN to my boss' office to explain that one! LOL


But I digress..

[orleans]

68. wow--some of the responses on this thread (i hate to say it) surprise me.

i was very amused with your story.

very.

fox homepage. jesus christ! haven't people gotten enuf of their crap for the past 8 years? must they keep at it?

[Cid_B]

69. I'm not surprised in the least about people on this thread...

These are the same folks who think its a-ok to butt into a woman's phone conversation, assault her and insult her over her weight and choice of purchases at the grocery store.

"It's ok because I know I'm right and they are so obviously wrong. My inherant superiority of thought and belief gives me the right to act like a pretentious asshole whenever I feel like it because it's really for the greater good (and not about any issues I have with myself or making me feel like a "big man")"

[Obamanaut]

70. Me neither. Promoting the childish behavior of allegedly putting

unwanted stuff on another worker's computer; getting vicarious pleasure from someone calling another names and possibly causing mental discomfort; congratulating someone for their "evil deeds." Sounds like bullying. In any other thread bullying would be denounced. Bullying must be ok if one knows the bully and/or doesn't know or doesn't like the victim - even if all one has to go one is the embellished story of the bully.

All in the name of "It's my equipment." I'm sure it is. No one ever lies on the anonymous internet.

edited to add: This was not sarcasm.

[swishyfeet]

72. YOU.... are a trouble maker

:toast:
