[Ava]

[otherlander]

1. Welcome to the machine.

:hi:

[Ava]

3. bah humbug

(wrong time of year but same attitude all the same) :rofl:

[NewJeffCT]

25. Resistance is futile, you will be assimilated

free will is irrelevant
self-determination is irrelevant

[Jeff In Milwaukee]

26. But at least the coffee is free (in my office anyway)

nt

[NewJeffCT]

27. the free coffee is the first step in assimilation

resistance is futile.

[Generic Brad]

32. That looks like my cube!

Maybe because that is a picture of a cube.

[EstimatedProphet]

2. Where would you rather work?

[Ava]

4. nowhere

:P

[EstimatedProphet]

13. That's easy enough to do.

[achtung_circus]

5. You obviously need to familiarize yourself with this site:

http://www.overheardintheoffice.com/

in order to appreciate the joy that is work.

:sarcasm: just in case.

[Ava]

7. interesting site there

:P

[achtung_circus]

9. That it is.

Good luck. Lawyers play for keeps.

[Pierre.Suave]

11. Tha is my new favorite

website, thanks.

[semillama]

28. Fantastic website

Making me laugh out loud at work.

Here's my favorite for office humor (although it's not dedicated to office humor, there's enough in the archives to count)
www.toothpastefordinner.com

6. What a drag! But what kind of office?

Depending on what you have to do, and the company you'll be keeping, it could be fun...:-)

[Ava]

8. law office

i'll be running errands, answering phones, and that sort of thing.

fun fun fun

[Rhiannon12866]

10. Actually, that doesn't sound half bad...

With your knowledge, they are lucky to have you, and you could learn a lot...:hi:

p.s. My first job was Cinderella at an amusement park...:silly:

[Ava]

12. well i definitely wouldn't like to have that job

lol, thanks :hi:

[Rhiannon12866]

15. Those of us who are interested in politics can always benefit

by knowing more about the law. At least half of the politicians are lawyers...:think:

And you never know when you'll need one, so they're good friends to have...;)

[Rhiannon12866]

22. That was definitely one of the least popular jobs there, LOL,

not at all glamorous, standing out in the hot sun wearing a long dress! It was very difficult to even take a bathroom break, since people would stop you, wanting to take your pic with their kids... *sigh* But at least I wasn't "Mary Had a Little Lamb," who had to walk all around the park, also in costume, trailed by a sheep...:rofl:

After a couple of summers, I graduated to driving the train through "the jungle," a much better job... So now you know why your job doesn't sound all that bad to me...:hi:

[TommyO]

20. Hmm, I wonder which company you worked for.

My cousin knows a Mickey - it's good for free admission to the park at least.

[Rhiannon12866]

23. Actually, it was The Great Escape in Lake George, NY.

It was previously Storytown USA, which explains the storybook characters...:-)

I've been to Epcot, but never to Disney World, yet. Since I spent six summers working at my park, I love amusement parks, big or small. And is it the Mickey who your cousin knows? If so, as an amusement park groupie, I'm very impressed!:D

[applegrove]

29. Could be fun to try and stay on top of it all when it gets hectic.

[MagickMuffin]

33. Hey Ava, you should find out if they do video depositions

A lot of law firms are doing those sort of things now a days. With your experience you might be able to work into that position before to long.

Good luck in the mean time.

[MissMillie]

14. well, it beats having to say "you want fries w/ that?"

I hear ya though. I've had my office job for 22 years. I look forward to retirement (but even that's a long way off)

[SPKrazy]

16. my thoughts exactly

I worked in a "would you like fries with that around Ava's age

a few other jobs too with similar duties

sorry Ava

it's a lot more fun being young and not working, just that everyone wants to grow up

[MrScorpio]

17. Always double down on ten or eleven

[DarkTirade]

18. I'm sorry. :P

I've managed to avoid office work so far, although I did apply for a computer job somewhere between data entry and programming... hard to describe. Didn't get it though.

I think I kinda impressed them with my 95 WPM typing test though. :P

[yurbud]

19. no problem. Get an old fashioned hand drill, put it up to yur temple, and give yurself a lobotomy

you won't have any problem fitting in after that.

[Bravo Zulu]

21. The boss

He's every employee's worst nightmare. He wasn't born mean and unscrupulous, he worked hard at it. And succeeded. As for stupidity, well, some things are inborn.

His top priorities are the bottom line and looking good in front of his subordinates and superiors (not necessarily in that order). Of absolutely no concern to him is the professional or personal well-being of his employees. The Boss is technologically challenged but he stays current on all the latest business trends, even though he rarely understands them.

[graywarrior]

24. Work is a four letter word

Office work is....I have no adequate description.

[Taverner]

30. Ahhh office life

Life became so much nicer when I could work from home and occasionally travel to see customers.

My rec: bring better coffee with you. It can be currency sometimes.

[madrchsod]

31. welcome to the real world of......

office politics! have fun....
