How to tell if you need to pray at work

Postby Vallikat » Wed Oct 11, 2006 9:31 pm

Someone sent me this email today and I thought I would share:

1. When a co-worker comes in a little too happy singing “good morning” to everyone and you think, “somebody needs to slap the s*** out of her”

– You need to pray at work.

2. When someone comes in and announces “office meeting in 5 minutes” and you think, “what the f*** do they want now?”

– You need to pray at work.

3. When your computer is mysteriously turned off and you want to say, “which one of you sons of b*****s turned off my computer?”

– You need to pray at work.

4. When you and a co-worker are discussing something, and a third person comes in and says, “well at my last office…” and you want to say, “who the f*** cares?”

– You need to pray at work.

5. When you’re in the elevator and it stops to pick up someone who stood for 5 minutes waiting for the darn thing only to go DOWN 1 flight and you think, “that lazy b****.”

– You need to pray at work.

6. When you hear a co-worker call your name and the first thing that crosses your mind is, “what the f*** does she want now?” and you try to hide underneath your desk.

– You need to pray at work.

7. When you take some vacation time and you come back to a mountain of paperwork sitting on your desk because no one else will do it and you think, “sorry a** m****r f*****s.”

– You need to pray at work.

8. You have ever thought about poisoning, choking, punching, or slapping someone that you work with.

– You need to pray at work.

9. If you avoid saying more than hello or how are you doing to someone because you know because you know its going to lead to their whole f****** life story.

– You need to pray at work.

10. If you knew all the words that have been bleeped out
– You DEFINITELY need to pray at work.


LET US ALL BOW OUR HEADS

All I could think when I got to then end of this was that if I prayed every time one of these things happened, I wouldn't be able to get anything else done! :)

I'll go with Vallikat on this one. If I need to pray at work every time words of the trade (cursing is very effective as a support tech/server-tech), I won't get anything done at all.

*phone rings*
What the F*** does this piece of s*** f*** want now? f***ing c***sucker.....
*picks up phone and answers pleasantly*
IT Support, how may I help you?

Pretty much how my days go :twisted:

I must concur, when you want to murder someone, preying at work is the best option.

I prey on salespeople, I prey on middle managers, and sometimes I'll even prey on the desk clerk or clients. Makes me feel a LOT better.

So yeah. Prey at work.

I'm too lazy to swear at work, so I delegate: I give other people reasons to swear. Yay telemarketing.

See, this is where the UK/US divide shows clear. Can't think of anyone I know that would consider that a good reason to pray at work.* Nearly all of them would agree that each of those is a bloody good reason to have another pint AFTER work though... and definitely a reason to have a nice cup of tea.









*Or at any time, come to that.

I don't need to swear at work. Since I serve mostly drunks, I can insult them straight to their faces and they don't quite get the picture.

Such as: "So, what's it like being a enunch?"
"I hate those scum that live off the dole but can still afford fast food every day - don't you?"
Or: "You're girlfriend definately likes her footlongs, which is why I see her here every day."

It's fun! Like watching big brother up close and personal, and you're armed!

Not that I have anything against the drunk, the doped up, the doped down, or the clinically insane - but when a man tries to post his penis through the mail box, it is good to know that I am holding a long, sharp knife.... :twisted:

The only problem with that logic for me, is that if those pints are cumulative, I'm gonna 'splode my liver in one night from all the pints I'd be pouring down my gullet. Every single one of those points I have on a daily basis.

And when it comes to preying at work, I have to go with Tarryk on this one...talk about a stress reliever. Tarryk, do you prefer the "pick them off as they come in from the rooftop", "boobytrapped cubicles", or the tried and tested "rat poison in their coffee" method best? lol :twisted: :twisted: :twisted: :twisted:
If you don't have anything intelligent to say, say something anyway. Someone else could probably use the laugh!

I go into work and fell like a bodoser has just ran me over so most of the time I find a quiet place to read or write...

The bathroom works well being I'm the only girl : )

its really a very simple solution but before taking any ill minded advice that comes from the vocal opening of a sufferer of delusional paranoia you will need a few things...
1. a lawyer with a minimal charge of $650 and hour,
2. 6months of preparation study in religious termonology of to be listed religion,
3. theatrical training,
4. workshop classes on how to fake a polygraph (the local DMV office has these available upon request ((yes they do!)) )

Now what you will need to do is to light candles in your cubicle, lure the offending co-worker to your cubicle and have them lay down on the imported 3.5 metric ton granite slab, then with a fine jade knife quickly remove the still beating heart, perform a chant as you attempt to start a sacrificail fire in the co-workers chest cavity... upon your arrest demand a lawyer and proclaim your religious freedom and practice. After the mandatory court process you should be free aside from a possible 18month psychology review. :)

I don't know whether to be disturbed at how fully thought out that plan is, or curious as to where you work so I can make sure I never work there! :wink:

Remind me to keep you away from my wife....I'm sure she'd be more than happy to take notes...she's already mentioned to me more than once that "the self cleaning oven would do a great job of destroying most of the evidence of a dead body"....its things like that, that make me stay up later than she does every night :wink: lol
