We collect FOUND stuff: love letters, birthday cards, kids' homework,
to-do lists, ticket stubs, poetry on napkins, telephone bills, doodles -
anything that gives a glimpse into someone
else's life. Anything goes...
"Beneath you?" Beneath you to do the work in a way that is acceptable to your superiors? This may explain why you've been passed over for promotion so many times. The inability to follow basic instructions and company norms is NOT a sign of moral superiority.
I feel that it is beneath me to even discuss the EXISTENCE of print reports.
in fact I find this comment to be beneath me. as is my chair.
Do the print sheets require cover sheets like TPS reports? If they do, I hope they got that memo.
Things like this are why I never entered the office environment as an employment option. I can only imagine the tedium that led to this being written. Fight the good fight you guerilla warrior of the freezer!
with a strange sensation of déja-vu i agree with the monkey...
Unsigned, eh? So, you want to complain but you don't want to get called on it. Niiice. Cowardly as well as passive-agressive.
If you really did feel it was beneath you, you'd say it out loud.
Chicken.
I, too like, to put, commas, in the wrong, place.
I tend to agree with BABY BASIL on this one.
Total coward...
Quit complaining and just enjoy the damn doughnuts...
Perfectly normal. After yet another micromanaging session by clueless supervisors in which they demand yet more meaningless adjustments to the staff's workflow and little nit-picky changes that don't actually make any difference to the end product.... Oh, never mind.
(have I been in the same meeting these two folks were in?? you bet!)
Hahaha! Jen you beat me to it.
I wonder if they get fined if they get caught passing notes.
this reminds me of office space. Are they using the new cover sheet for the TPS reports?
It's beneath me to read this find. And the comments. Yes, I'm that good.
This is a bit off topic, but I thought I must mention that the copier beat-down in Office Space is the all-time best scene in a movie ever. Don't get me wrong, now. I did not say it was the best movie. Just that scene. I love it. A lot.
Lucky, I love that movie. The fax machine beat down scene is seriously awesome. I've always thought that the music in that scene makes it.
From beneath you, it devours...
It is beneath me baby. You better believe it.
Now go get me a mocha latte, double shot.
Is it just me? or do you, too feel it's a little chilly in the suggestion box?
Actually, it is just you, you elitist fuck.
i rather enjoy arranging print reports. Does that make me a bad person? I prefer to do them in my own style, tho, not how someone else wants them. And everyone should follow my example, of course.
It's not you - it's me.
It is always you, never, ever me.
Don't ever forget that.
What the Flargy?! Hey, Flarg. Did you know you're in the urban dictionary?
And here's my theory on your post. You first posted as John, and then replied as Flargy. Nice one!
L...what are you talking about? I was replying to the find, not to John. What John said is not elitist. What the note writer said is.
Urban Dictionary is so far off the mark on the definition of Flargy, it hurts my brain to read it.
@ mona lisa ... no, it doesn't make you a bad person to enjoy arranging print reports. Unfortunately, though, it appears to make you beneath the rest of us.
I secretly hate when people ask "is it just me...?" Also hate "that being said..." and "in a perfect world..." and "threw up in my mouth a little bit."
Just saying. (Oh yeah, that one, too.)
i don't secretly hate all those. I also hate 'at the end of the day' and. . 'lets template this'
Only Mona could make arranging print reports a beautiful thing.
Dear Elitist Fuck (the poster, not the note writer),
Regarding those terms (especially the second and fourth ones)...I'm with ya! Oops, I don't like that one either.
Anyhoo [Shit! there I go again!], I do like some terms. But those ones? Not so much [Goddammit! Why can't I stop doing that?!].
What I'd like beneath me is Lancey Pantsy. Where are you, big boy?
@Mona Lisa- I can't stand 'at the end of the day' or when pundits start with "Look...."
@Elitist, Mona, Flargy and Jen:
I think we're all on the same page.
@John, Elitist, Mona, Flargy and Jen,
I, for one, am glad that the 5 of you think outside the box when it comes to which cliches to use.
Ok, I know I live underground in a very marginal group, very nearly an alternate universe, but....what is a print report?
Are they recyclable? That's all Wombles really care about.
Is it beneath you to discuss how to your job properly, miss goody two shoes? Yes. It's just you.
Now that we seem to have the perfect storm of agreement - at the end of the day - what are our action steps?
@alan: let's regroup.
Librarian, I think we can all agree that moving forward with this endeavour will benefit everyone from the bottom up. Let's stay the course for the forseeable future.
I'm gonna go ahead and ask you all to knock it off with the corporatese. My skill set dictates that I can open a can of whoopass on you if you don't cool it. I'm not gonna just think outside the box, I'm gonna kick all your asses outside the box and right back into it again. How ya like them apples?
I like apples Flargy.... ;-)
oh..and Alan.... tee hee... you're making me blush....
@Flargy: that would be a win-win situation.
I'm calling HR!
@ Flargy ... I want you to sit down right now and write a note apologizing to all of us for threatening to kick our asses. Even if it was make believe. You scared everyone. You should want to be our friend. Please promise to try hard not to scare us.
oh, please everyone. this is one issue for the parking lot, don't you think? then tomorrow we should have coffee and. at the meet and greet.
ugh. and i don't even work in an office!!
@Flargy: Yeah, I figured that out as I was driving to work. (Strange how our when we are doing something mindless the subconscious kicks in and works overtime for us.) Didn't notice at first that John had followed the elitist fuck's pattern in his note. Doh! I mean, Flargy! Next time just tell me to KEEP UP.
I hate it when people say " You know what I'm sayin'? ". Usually the asshole has just said the same thing over and over.
Cliches I hate:
"Is is just me...?"
"Welcome to my world."
"...a perfect storm of (fill in here)"
"when God closes a door, he opens a window"
"is it just me?"
Is it just me, or does Rudy Giuliani look like a beaver? (watching the RNC at the moment).
Fooch, I see your point. However, for an even more striking (startling, even) resemblance, search Google images for "Rosa DeLauro" and "proboscis monkey." That right there shoots the creationists' case straight to Hell (or whatever the Darwinian equivalent of Hell is).
hehehe fooch said 'beaver'
The trickledown effect of all this is making me laugh. Of course I know you're all just shooting blackbirds, but that's the result of blue-sky thinking.
I, for one, want to provide all of you with actionable insights and positively impact your bottom line (ouch).
Yes, it's just you.
It IS beneath you, in fact it is up your *ss.
Or is it you who are up your own aforesaid?
What else is in that freezer?
Is the individual/superior who established the "print report arrangement" in pieces in the freezer?
Did the person who wrote the note snap and slice up the individual/superior; and while cutting up the individual/superior accidentally drop this note?
Hmmm...I see this as an episode of Law and Order...or Cold Case Files (pun intended).
sounds like a Lumbergh type situation
You forgot 'It's a brand new paradigm..."
