This little exchange with my brother certainly brightened up my day:
periscopeboy: there's a bunch of computer wizards working here this past week
raptorgirl: yes?
periscopeboy: for all their technical savvy they haven't caught on to the fact that there's a button that says open door on it, and they keep asking me to open it for them
periscopeboy: fucking retards
raptorgirl: hahahaha
raptorgirl: reminds me of that farside cartoon.
raptorgirl: You should find it and paste it to the door.
periscopeboy: I tried explaining to one of them, but he got confused with the plethora of buttons next to the door
periscopeboy: he turned off the light, nearly pressed the fire alarm
raptorgirl: haha
periscopeboy: kept pushing at a protruding piece of drywall
raptorgirl: omg
periscopeboy: I guess the fact that it says
periscopeboy: open door on the actual button threw him off
raptorgirl: I'm posting this exchange in myblog.
periscopeboy: have fun
periscopeboy: but censor out the retards part
raptorgirl: why?
periscopeboy: I wouldn't want to be thought of as insensitive
raptorgirl: ok.
periscopeboy: at least the real retards have a genetic excuse
My peeve, just about every day? Engineers who make 60K who can't do even simple tasks on the COPIER, or clear a paper jam. They stand around making little moaning sounds so some low-paid admin can come take care of it for them. Poor babies. Darts of hate go forth...

Posted by: rappy at December 2, 2003 01:02 PMI don't even know how to transfer calls at work. And if the copier gets a paper jam, I go ask Melissa for help.
I'm just a girl...

Posted by: rappy at December 2, 2003 01:27 PMHAH! Ok, that was great, and no it doesn't get old. At least HWG knows her own email address AND how to log into it, so she's not that helpless.
Posted by: babyfishfel at December 2, 2003 09:28 PMNo, No. The worst are BDI's who aren't at their desk when I call .. and don't have the sense to be irritated or annoyed at the fax machine voicemail messages beep-beeping at them. They take all the fun out of cranking.
Posted by: TVJunkie at December 2, 2003 10:46 PMI peeked at your brother's site. He is too funny. Except that he calls you Craptorgirl, so I'm gonna have to give him a noogie.
Posted by: grace at December 3, 2003 02:56 PMThe extent to which my brother rocks is just immeasurable. Sign his guestbook and nudge him to update.
Posted by: rappy at December 3, 2003 03:19 PMnudging will do you no good.
Posted by: periscopeboy at December 4, 2003 08:21 AMHow about if we just ask him nicely?
