The Internet Really Screwed This Company Over

GiggleSugar — Mon, 30 Jun 2008 15:00:00 -0700

Financial consulting firm Dillon/Edwards Investments took too long to establish a website on the Internet, so when they finally got around to it, all the good URLs were taken. They didn't get their first-choice web address, but they compromised and got something that'll suffice. No big deal. It all worked out in the end.

When you don't have anything nice to say, spell it out with lettered stickers.

Office Team Building Exercise Is Kind of a Big Deal

GiggleSugar — Mon, 23 Jun 2008 02:00:00 -0700

Most workplaces emphasize the value of teamwork. Some even force their employees to partake in mandatory team building exercises, which usually amount to a giant waste of everyone's time. But not in this instance. These ladies proved that they could work as a team and make the most productive use of their time, too. Let's just say they have a leg up on the competition . . .

Flashback: Batgirl Wants a Pay Raise

GiggleSugar — Mon, 09 Jun 2008 16:00:00 -0700

Newsflash: Batman was not only a degrading husband, but a sexist employer to boot. In the following PSA for the Federal Equal Pay Law, Batgirl argues that she's underpaid and deserves to earn the same wages as Robin. Although Batgirl's timing is a bit manipulative - a ticking bomb is about to blow Batman a new one and she's his only hope for escape - girlfriend's request is warranted. But the big boss thinks she's joking. To which, I say, let the Batdouche blow.

The clawed footwear is a bit much, but he's too chicken to complain to management.

Bored at Work? Not Anymore!

GiggleSugar — Wed, 13 Feb 2008 00:02:00 -0800

The weekday rat race can get a little mind-numbing sometimes, especially mid-afternoon when lunch has passed and five o'clock ain't really around the corner. So, what to do? Make an ass of yourself, of course! Whether the office needs an amusing diversion or you're simply plain bored, here's a list of to-dos that might liven things up a bit, or get you canned, but whatev. A little free time never hurt anybody. . .

While riding in an elevator, gasp dramatically every time the doors open.
Walk sideways to the photocopier.
Shout random numbers while someone is counting.
Kneel in front of the water cooler and drink directly from the nozzle.
After every sentence, say "Mon" in a really bad Jamaican accent. As in "The report's on your desk, Mon." Keep this up for one hour.
While an office mate is out, move their chair into the elevator.
Come to work in army fatigues and when asked why, say, "I can't talk about it."
Posing as a maitre d', call a colleague and tell him that he's won a lunch for four at a local restaurant. Let him go.
Speak with an accent (French, German, Porky Pig, etc.) during a very important conference call.
Repeat the following conversation ten times to the same person: "Do you hear that?" "What?" "Never mind, it's gone now."
During the course of a meeting, slowly edge your chair towards the door.

The job market is competitive, but the following statements should help put things into perspective. These have been lifted from actual résumés submitted to prospective employers. Last I heard, unintentional self-deprecation isn't the best strategy for getting hired. And as for proofreading, it's not yet overrated . . .

Here are my qualifications for you to overlook.
Seek challenges that test my mind and body, since the two are usually inseparable.
Graduated in the top 66% of my class.
Reason for leaving last job: The owner gave new meaning to the word paranoia. I prefer to elaborate privately.
I am a rabid typist.
I have a bachelorette degree in computers.
Excellent memory; strong math aptitude; excellent memory; effective management skills; and very good at math.
I worked as a Corporate Lesion.

Tough Day on the Job?

GiggleSugar — Mon, 12 Nov 2007 13:00:00 -0800

For those of us at work today, here's a compilation of ~~people~~ crazy dudes having not-so-merry Mondays. We've seen some of these clips before, but viewing them back-to-back really makes you wonder about the mental (in)stability of the person sitting in the cubicle next to you. You never know when insanity (and the random axe in the office) may strike...
