s/o stupid people at work stories

The girl that I job share with just made my morning.

I start up the computer at work. While it's booting up, I notice an email address on a sticky note. It's for another lawfirm in the area. Once the Windows screen comes up I notice a new shortcut icon. It's the girl's resume. Really?  Who leaves for the day with their resume as a shortcut on the office computer and an email address of another lawfirm.

Granted, they attorneys are not happy with her work and are looking to replace her, but she don't know this, as I discovered when she asked what the plan was for when I go on leave.

Of course I open up the resume and it's full of spelling and gramatical errors. Makes me laugh, since one of the running jokes with the attorneys is her version of how to spell subsequent "subs a quint"

  • I had a boss put up 6 copied notes. It said something about not being able to honor request offs for a day. In big letters at the bottom, it said "Sorry for the Incontinence."

    Detailed? Is she a car? 

  • Not a coworker, but when I did goal setting with my students at the beginning of the year one of them said: I will make the oner oll. "honor roll" Bless his heart.
  • Poor girl.  Doesn't she know lawyers talk?

    Anniversary
  • LOL at both.  Classic.

     

    Reminded me I used to work with a guy who spelled "schedule" as "schedual".

  • I have a friend that writes, 4rth, not 4th. I tried to nicely correct her once, and was told that in fact I am wrong.
