Basically, this thread was designed to reflect on the lighter times you have at work (if any). How much time do you have to goof around at work, and what are some good stories from those times? Lately, at work (I work a college job at a sub shop that is within a local grocery store) I've had some time in which we've been overstaffed(in preparation for the Super Bowl), so I've gotten to screw around and have a little fun. I'm lovin' it. Friday night, we were overstaffed, and three of us were just standing around doing nothing. Out of the blue, I came up with the idea to make a sub shop song that would rival the old McDonald's Big Mac song. Slowly, Friday night, the song started coming together, and we ended up having one of the funner nights I've had at work. I had to come in early Saturday and Sunday morning, which was cool because I wanted to see what kind of reaction my song would bring (I left the lyrics up on a communication board). When I came in, there were 3 older ladies in, so I asked how they liked the song. They loved it! It went over better than I had thought. They asked me to perform it for them, which I did. The song got tons of laughs, which it was designed to, so that was cool. Anyways, this morning, I came in, and immediately asked my manager how he liked the song (a good-humored 26 or-so year-old man). He loved it so much that he told me he had already informed his bosses about it. They all came over one by one with these huge smiles on their faces and asked them to see it. Eventually, I gave them all a concert at once (except one). This included people such as: my manager in the sub shop, the manager of the whole entire grocery store, the night manager of the store, the manager of the pizza shop, etc. Basically, I ended up performing the whole song in front of about 15 people. Then, I got everyone to sing it together. It was great! There are talks of video taping a "performance" of the song and sending it into company headquarters to be put on a training video or just some kind of fun video. I think that would be the ultimate in coolness. The store manager said she's gonna bring a video camera around for us to perform it with. Basically, that's how I spend my free time at work - doing randomly stupid things.
I study for exams and write all my papers at work. Also, I read all the magazines... and the newspaper on the clock.
I would prefer that Eddie quit putting a half jar of pickles on my Cold Cut Combo. 6 slices is enough, not 3 whole dills.
I worked at Wafflehouse for a long time, mostly graveyard shifts... I used to bring my DVD player with me and watch it on the TV used for really really bad training videos. Only on weekends or holidays was I ever busy. Waitreses would take off their uniforms and jump up and down for me and my best buddy (girl), the only strip joint in town was right down the road and the strippers would come in *wasted* after work. Sometimes, they got their food for free That, and the fact that I could do the job in my sleep could be why I worked there so long... Maybe it was the respect, glory, and prestige of being a Wafflehouse MASTER grill operator. hmm no it was the boobies...
844,739 ways to eat a hamburger (much prefered to country), and yes boobies boobies some glorious and some uh... lets just say I wish I'd come up with the line "Ok here's what I'm thinkin... I'll be Charlie and you can all be my angels... except you, you be Bosley"
This thread is truly awful. You people need to ask yourselves the following about your actions when you're on the job:
Was that wrong? Should I have not done that? I tell you I gotta plead ingnorance on this thing because if anyone had said anything to me at all when I first started here that that sort of thing was frouned upon, you know, cause I've worked in a lot of offices and I tell you peope do that all the time.
A girl and I both watch The Office and always talk about it, shortly after they aired the "Office Olympics" we tried to recreate our own, but it wasn’t as good.. We now have a huge coffee stain on the floor in the break room
