Apparently, it's national WTF day.

Looking around the boards and FB, it would appear that everyone has lost their goddamn mind.  

Here's mine:

Walking to the train this morning, step in sand.  Wait, that's not sand.  It's mutherfucking concrete powder and oh yeah it's raining so actually it's just concrete.  On my shoes.  On the cuff of my pants.  What. The. Fwck.  Who just pours out concrete powder on the fwcking sidewalk?   

Re: Apparently, it's national WTF day.

  • I came into work to find corporate security taking a picture of our group's sign out board. I guess last night somebody marked everybody as being out and wrote (in dry erase marker) FRIDAY DITCH DAY!!! One of my co-workers freaked out and called security because somebody vandalized our board.

    WTF!!!! It was a joke and now corporate security has to write up a report and notify headquarters about the "vandalism that is going on in our office". Somebody is going to get into a lot of trouble. My co-worker is crazy.

     

  • Something must be in the water.

    I woke up to my BB going nuts b/c one of our Interns fired off a truly cray resignation letter that called his boss a crazy, belligerent lunatic, called myself & another recruiting colleague unprofessional scum & copied about 50 people on it including the CEO.

    Twas quite the start to my Friday.

    Sadie is not impressed.

  • Coworker asked if myself and 4 other coworkers wanted to chip in and order a pizza for lunch - we all said sure, that sounds great. She proceeds to order from the most expensive pizza place, and spends OVER $100 on like 4 pizzas (for 5 people!). Then sends us the invoice after she already ordered it. WTF? I thought we were getting freaking Round Table or something and expected to pay $5, not $20! So now I am trying to figure out how to get out of it, cause I am not paying freaking $20 for pizza for lunch. WHO DOES THAT?

    I don't know who does that, but I'd be thinking that if she didn't tell me where lunch was coming from, I must not have told her exactly how much I was chipping in.  I'd still give her the $5.

    I can't even get in to specifics but work has been one big WTF for the last 2 months.  I just... UGH.

    And yeah - what kind of gold plated pizza costs $20 a person?

    I think we need a GTG so that we can all drink copius amounts of booze and talk about how crappy work is. Yes?

    In other WTF news - I just saw that a woman in the crowd where Santorum was shooting at a firing range yelled "Pretend it's Obama" (cue the laughter).  Santorum clearly could not hear it and when asked about it he immediately dismissed it as inappropriate and terrible - but WTF random Santorum suppoters in Louisiana???

    Can I as you something, as an HR professional? Is it true what the Bloggess says in her book about people sending Anthony Wiener imitation pics via office email? This seriously happens?
