Office Intimidation Tactics 101

jbritz

This chat conversation happened at my place of work the other day. I present it to you as an example of how to be the most awesome motherfucker in the fucking office. This came about after having my elbows resting on my desk all the time was causing me some discomfort.

  • jbritz: i need elbow pads
  • coworker: it should always halt on error always
  • jbritz: and i should have elbow pads
    elbow on the desk all day is causing bruising
    now i got my jacket helping the situation a bit
    I’M GONNA MAKE IT
  • coworker: mark up your elbows to make it look way worse
  • jbritz: hahhaha
  • coworker: then go to [HR] office, show her your bloody elbows
  • jbritz: tell her [boss] attacked me
  • coworker: “I NEED ELBOW PADS”
  • jbritz: oh, went the other way, yeah
    i should just start wearing like volleyball pads around the office
    then when people say shit
    fake like i’m gonna hit them with my elbows
    then get right in their face
    and real intense be like
  • coworker: say you got elbow surgery
  • jbritz: MY ELBOWS ARE DANGEROUS
  • coworker: act like QA
  • jbritz: hahaha
    YOU DON’T WANT TO BE ON THE RECEIVING END OF ONE THESE BAD MAMMAJAMMAS SON
    then go
    YOU WANT TO SEE IT?
    and pull the pad off a bit
    then go
    NOT TOO MUCH
    put it back on
    take off
    this is going up as a proof-facts article later

You implement this plan and everyone in your office will respect and fear you, now and forever.

Googles just fucked up the labels

jbritz

So apparently google was all like, hey lets make the labels all ugly, add some extra settings nobody needs and then we’ll remove the best lab feature we got.  What the fuck google.  I mean, I know that there are probably greasemonkey scripts to move the labels back to the right, and different skins to make them look better, but why the FUCK would I want to go to all that trouble when all google had to do was not shit the bed.  They willie randolphed this, without a doubt.
