this morning one of my coworkers was unable to see the screen on her laptop because the resolution was so dim....a normal person would think "something's wrong with my laptop"....she thought "someone was at my desk and messed with my laptop...maybe they switched out the battery...i must lock up my laptop every night because people are snoopin' around my office"..........
she's not the only paranoid weirdo i have the pleasure of working with either.... |

How can resolution be dim? Do you mean contrast? |

You should post funny rants about them on craigslist. I love reading about people's crazy co-workers. I had one who lived on a farm so she always smelled of manure and she had major drama with her teenage son so we would ALL hear the conversations with the counselors, juvie officers, etc.
Here is a pretty funny example:

| I had a co-worker who used to sit in the office and "leak" on the seat. Well gross! She stank and left wet patches and the seat had to be covered with plastic bags for her to get the message, lol. It got quickly chucked out! |

at my last company there was a guy that would fart all the time in his cubicle. he'd never sit at his desk, he'd squat in front of his laptop and then while typing away would start up an anal opera that stunk up our whole side of the floor. it was nasty beyond words. his last name was Lu which i changed to "Phew". it was awful because my cubicle was right at the front so when people can in to talk with me about stuff they'd get that stank and i'm sure they'd think it was ME ripping 'em off. people suck. |

oh yeah we had a right crazy bitch working with us a few years ago. she was a contractor and her name was Donna Dollard - perfect for a woman who acted and dressed like she was still in 1980s high school. women of a certain age need to cut their hair short because if not it looks like straw on top of the head, especially when fetered like it's 1984. anyways, you can imagine a name like "Donna Dollard" being spoken on the phone by someone with a REALLY bad Boston accent -- "DONNNNAAAAAH DAAAALAAAAAAAAD"...every time she picked up that phone that's what you'd get -- and like the personal phonecalls were priceless too. oh maaan. i want out of this shite. |
