This is a totally true story.

I work in IT, so I drink a lot on the job. My team bought a giant bottle of scotch for after-release celebration. I had that bottle on my desk for about two hours and someone downed half the goddamn bottle while I was in a meeting. TWO FUCKING HOURS. I suspect the PC techs were behind it, but I've got no proof. Anyway, I drew a line on the bottle and locked it in my desk drawer. Two days later, another quarter was gone.

The moral of this story is all coworkers are thieving cocksuckers.

Hi.
I didn't actually think your "snuff" video was out of place, but I wanted to ask: you're not actually banned, are you? I only saw the comment, and ... you know what I mean.
I once had a coworker paste a video around the (3000+ person) company mailing list that was a video of a grainy black-blotch (guy) being mowed down by what was said to be the mini-gun of an Apache helicopter in the gulf war. Granted that the coworkers commentary was celebratory and offensive, but even that nearly-abstract video insulted me more than what you posted, and your tone clearly had no such intent.
I hope you stick around. Please don't take offense, and I'll be writing to those who flagged you later to hopefully calm them the fuck down too. This is the best community I've been a part of online in more than a decade, and I am sad to lose anyone who's a contributor.
I didn't think the video was snuff, and I don't think the majority of the community would think so either.

Her coworkers are assholes. "I'll say." Not even with any humor. You're just a cunt for being afraid of spiders.

You're fired.

as a state employee in Revenue (I work in IT though, nothing to do with taxes) I can attest that my coworkers have a wide variety of political leanings. But guess what. everyone works together quite well.

The media likes to paint this picture of R vs D with people at each others throats in this grand struggle for dominance with Machiavellian schemes as a matter of course.

It just isn't true. When you're a cog in the machine of gov't. It just doesn't really matter if your elected officials are R or D for the most part. People have a job to do and people have to work together and political bias just doesn't enter into the picture all that often as people might think. Especially when you're in the businesses of taxes. Either the numbers work or they don't.

Math and economics doesn't care what party you belong to.

Anyway, is anyone really surprised that this is yet another fake scandal?

That was SO GOOD!!!!!!!! You're not going to believe it, another coincidence...the first time I ever heard the original song "The devil went down to georgia" was yesterday on the radio at work and I was saying to my coworkers how much I liked it. This is even cooler!!

I've got a coworker like that and it took me a while to figure it out. Her smile looks like she's being sarcastic or angry.

I wish I could sell y'all's one of my manic episodes. Your senses will be altered and you will look at life in a different way. I once described three of my most powerful episodes to a coworker one time and he claimed that they were very similar to psychedelics that he did.

Your video, Servo Glasses: How to drive your coworkers (/everyone) crazy, has made it into the Top 15 New Videos listing. Congratulations on your achievement. For your contribution you have been awarded 1 Power Point.

While waiting for an inaugural party(Clinton's 2nd) to wind down so we could replace the removed office cubicles at a Bank of America branch just off the parade route. I was chilling outside observing all the Secret Service peeps on all the rooftops along with checking out the high class hookers being picked up by their Johns. All of a sudden I saw a familiar woman walking down the sifewalk. I looked real well and noticed her and said "Hello there" with a smile and she smiled back and said "Hi". My coworker said "Who are you talking to Joe?" I told him it was Maria Shriver. He along with the rest of the crew had no idea who she was. So I said Arnold Schwarzenegger's wife. I did work with some dumbass meatbags back then.

Steven Sinofsky, president of the Windows division *did* get fired shortly after Windows 8 launch.

Of course they're not saying why, but one of the rumors was that Sinofsky alienated many coworkers and was notoriously hard to work with.

In fairness though, I haven't played with Win8 since the first developer preview. I've got an iso of the release version but just haven't had time to mess with it. And with all the negative press I've heard so far and the fact that Win7 is great and still not all that old yet, I just don't see it as a priority.

WinXP held up for a very long time (in fact it's still holding up for lots of businesses) and so I think people liked the longevity as opposed to these rapid fire releases MS normally does. So when 8 came out, I think the collective response was "Do we need this? We just settled into Win7" I'm sure there are many under-the-hood improvements in Win8, but like the reviewer mentioned, if your UI sucks or is at the very least, controversial as Win8 undoubtedly is, it's what your OS sinks or swims on, regardless of how good the OS may be underneath.

reminds me of a coworker. otherwise gorgeous, but ugh...way way way too skinny

Seriously? Mystery Spot blew your mind?
A coworker told me to go to Mystery Spot. So I did. I was completely unimpressed. Not a single illusion was actually impressive.
I will forever be labeled a humbug, I suppose. Fine! Humbug it is. But I will cast judgement down from my humbug tower. You can't stop me.

I'm with you on this. Tilted rooms and such simply look and feel tilted. I don't perceive any sort of cool illusion from them.

If they could make the room not feel tilted while being tilted, that would be something, but being in room that really is tilted simply doesn't do that for me.

When I was a kid, my elementary school had a field trip to the Mystery Spot and I remember it blowing my mind too.

Looking back on it, I really think my teacher should have told us it was just a trick.
