One of a million things that bugs me about how they do their day-to-day business here at Jackass Inc., is the phone system. You know how in most environments if you dial a coworker's extension, it'll ring their phone and your extension and name (or something close to it) will come up? Well, here it just goes to speaker phone. So if someone wants to call and talk to me I get a beep and then them talking. No call ID and most times not enough time for me to get my headphones off before they start their conversation. Also, there are no real walls here so if someone is talking to Stoner I hear the whole conversation. The whole process just seems rude to me. Perhaps I'm just old fashion that way.
On a similar note, we have a warehouse here and people may not be at their desk. So, often times people are paged over the loudspeaker. Nothing out of the ordinary really. It's just that when Connie does it she sounds as if you should be at your desk and if you don't answer the first page within 10 seconds you get another page of disgust. Seriously, when Connie was a child someone pissed in her Cheerios and she's never gotten over it.
My favorite is when Carl pages someone. He stumbles through it every time. Like half way through he forgets his extension and then when he repeats his page (it is unwritten law that you must always repeat a page), he stumbles again.
Last little nugget for the day.
Rumor has it that Connie is leaving. I don't know where or when or any other details, but it's a little scary to me. I dislike her strongly, but once in a while she'll defend my comments in a meeting, because she has a bit of an education... she's still a grand bitch, but she knows the English language better than these jelly-brained baboons.
