Some days you just want to reach through the monitor, reach out into cyberspace, pull out a particularly annoying user, and beat them the fuck up.

Instead of doing that, I'll type the letter H multiple times.

HHHHHHHHHhhhhhHHHHhhhhHHHHhhhhhHh

Posted by Shael The guy has a masters in Soil Science. He knows jack about chemistry. I predict he'll last 6 months, or less.

What the fuck, is soil sciences?

My agency's website has been getting spammed by animal rights activists who are angry at Korea's very small dog meat industry. They're trying to show everyone how compassionate they are and how evil all Koreans are.

This is an example of the sort of thing we've been dealing with:

----------------
honestly these people (if you can even call them that) deserve to die. all of them. period.
----------------
These people brag about being nationalized but here they are eating dogs for food, they can make fancy cars, throw out new dances on you tube, and through all of this they are torturing & eating innocent dogs & cats...The world needs to see them are they really are barbarick...
----------------
You sick motherfuckers. I hate you and I hope you all die!!!!
----------------
all of them is cunts...one day white people fuck them up...and personally will keep a few of that cunts in cage.
----------------
that all chinese and rest of them is real cunts...belive in nearest future white people will fuck them all.i will personally keep a few cunts in cage,let them syrvive and workin for me...never fuckin like them...
----------------
FUCK KOREANS and the CHINESE

So at work our schedule for upcoming week is posted on Fridays. After the schedule was posted I noticed they scheduled everyone later this week due to Thanksgiving. So I notified my boss immediately that, "I couldn't stay until 3:00pm since I have a class at 12:50pm". After informing them of this fact, I was told "don't worry, we'll figure it out Wednesday" - the day I needed to leave early - today!

So when I come in today, I remind them (again) that I've got to leave early - since I have class - for which I get a bunch of shit about not giving them any notice. I told these fuckers last week that I needed to be off early! After hemming and hawing about it they ask when does your class start? ... 12:50pm

Can you say until 12:45?
Sure, I have a magical rocket car that travels at the speed of light!

Posted by Ricky_from_TV What the fuck, is soil sciences?

I wish I knew. Honestly.

Posted by Shael I wish I knew. Honestly.

Soil science is the study of soil as a natural resource on the surface of the earth including soil formation, classification and mapping; physical, chemical, biological, and fertility properties of soils; and these properties in relation to the use and management of soils.[1] Sometimes terms which refer to branches of soil science, such as pedology (formation, chemistry, morphology and classification of soil) and edaphology (influence of soil on organisms, especially plants), are used as if synonymous with soil science. The diversity of names associated with this discipline is related to the various associations concerned. Indeed, engineers, agronomists, chemists, geologists, physical geographers, ecologists, biologists, microbiologists, sylviculturists, sanitarians, archaeologists, and specialists in regional planning, all contribute to further knowledge of soils and the advancement of the soil sciences. Soil scientists have raised concerns about how to preserve soil and arable land in a world with a growing population, possible future water crisis, increasing per capita food consumption, and land degradation.[2]

So in other words pretty much useless in everyday life.

Looks like it.

Also, I have my own beef with bosses...

Last night, there was a note by the time clock when I went in, telling me to switch jobs with another worker. I can do the job, but my full classification is not rewinder operator, this other worker is. Well, I spent all night the night before helping him run the machine. Which is fine, I don't mind that, I do that for anybody running the machine, I've spent a enough time working on it alone to know just about anyone needs help.

Last night, one idiot of a boss wanted me to swap places with him and run the winder because I'm the "better operator", basically I don't fuck around and get shit done. This other guy fucks off all shift and doesn't do much.

Anyway, I said no fucking way, I refuse to do it on the grounds of the other guy is qualified, same as I am, he's senior to me and scheduled back there. I'm sorry he's lazy and he's succeeded in proving what kind of an idiot he is by getting kicked out of other departments. I'm sorry that management hasn't managed to dump him on another department, but it is not my job to pick up his slack.

Also, I refuse to let this piece of shit waste of flesh work my job, which pays about 19 an hour, for rewinder operator rate, which is 21 dollars an hour or so, while I have to do his job. The one he knows how to do and should be doing, instead of making management feel sorry for him, so they baby him and coddle him by giving this piece of shit anything he fucking wants.

I mean, I even had one manager tell me that he's "overwhelmed" and needs extra help. Bullshit. This fucking turd is getting away with murder. He should be disciplined, but no...they give him what he wants. If I did half the shit he's done, I'd have been fired by now.

Honestly, I hope they fucking suspend me, I could use the vacation.

Psycho?

Why don't they just fucking fire the clod. He would be out the door at GE pretty fucking quick.

Posted by Samurai Psycho?

Yup. I texted you about it last night.

Dave, they've been trying for 22 years to fire this retard. He just doesn't seen to take the hint that he isn't good at anything they assign him to do. On top of that, they give him what he wants. All I want is what's fair.

He has bid out of the department 2 times this year. My boss had the option to hold him 30 days after he accepted a bid elsewhere. My boss told HR to take him on the following Monday after he got the bid! He can't seem to take the hint that he isn't wanted. He thought they'd beg him not to go and offer him more money. Was he ever wrong.

Worst part, one department he bid to, they rode him out on a rail. The other didn't pay enough for him. He thinks he deserves $20 an hour or more. I know he has time on me, that's why I wrote my boss a email asking if this is how we're doing things around here from now on. By ability and not seniority. Because if it is, this asshole belongs back on broke.

he tried to be an operator over in recaust. Mike V came around the corner and there Psycho was, pounding his head off the counter, punctuating each hit with "WHY...WON'T...THIS...FUCKING...THING... LIGHT...???" (he was referencing the kiln... he couldn't get it lit.)

If this fucktard is that much of a problem, are they scared to fire him? I mean fuck giving him hints, just tell him you're out of here bub! Just because you have been there 20 years doesn't mean you get to stay another 20 if you are shitty at your job. Fucking managers there need to grow a sack.

You're right. They are. On top of that, he has been fired 2 times. Our illustrious unions have saved his ass.

There's enough shit to hang him with. The problem is can they make it stick?

He keeps pissing on one manager like he did the other day, he will be finding another job or she will skin him.

I know ya'll guys don't agree with me on this, but this is just one of the reasons I'm a RTW state advocate. Wouldn't have to find shit to stick, just send the fucker packing.

this guy is somewhat of an anomaly... also that end of the mill is kind of where the misfit toys end up.

and i'd rather put up with 100 Burroughs, that work in a RTW state ever again.

You say that like you mean it

You'll come back to us eventually

no. don't hold your breath.
i have a good job now, excellent benefits, a house and now a manageable car payment. No thanks. Already been there done that... the only and I mean only attraction an RTW state would have is climate.

I found all these working Christmas lights (some never-opened) in the dumpster in a perfectly-good Rubbermaid box. This place is so wasteful it's ridiculous!

I used to dumpster dive back in the day. Me and a buddy would go out riding our bikes at night and check out places for stuff. It was AMAZING what people were throwing out.

Apparently Chris, a lady in her mid-60s who worked at the store for at least ten years and was one of the best employees there, kicked the bucket on Thanksgiving.

Why is it that the best workers are the first to go?
