Rant incoming.
I know what “water cooler” talk is. And I fucking hate it.
I hate it
I hate it
I hate it
I hate it
I hate it
And if you do it first thing in the morning, I hate you too.
I don’t watch tv, so I don’t care about the latest fake “reality tv,” depraved wedding/dating show. I don’t have anything to add to a vacuous conversation, except maybe a comment that sounds cynical and annoyed because I’m not awake enough yet to pretend I’m a normie. It’s the same as walking into a breakroom and hearing them talk about the biased and hysterical news screening in front of them while they flex their knowledge of the Coof/Rona…The only fact they don’t seem to regurgitate is the 99+% recovery rate. Oh. They didn’t know that one? Of course not.
I was at my slave gig. Early, because it gives me time to work on other things. Unfortunately, others seemingly had this idea too/or wanted to kiss ass and look industrious because they’re relatively new employees. Today I was overhearing people loudly discussing the fact one of them is receiving “reply all” emails. He had eleven! Omg, it was so funny! That silly person emailed so many people, wow! Come here, ____ (floor manager) look at this! They were supposed to only reply to one person. This is crazy!
Welp, not really. It happens. Figuring out some of the emails and codes can be difficult for new people. Yes, it’s annoying. Yes, it happens. Yes, you should get the fuck over it.
The discussion moved to the staff newsletter; some new wet dream idea to make everyone feel included as it runs alongside every other email we all get to be able to do our jobs. It will never pass my gaze. (In fact, I’m deleting it from my inbox right now.) The know-it-all guy sitting in front of his computer started saying “blue and green should never be seen” commenting how some people are going to find it difficult to read because the font “should” be a different colour. “Do you have any idea how hard that is going to be for some people to read?!”
Then he announced, very loudly, that he drank a whole bottle of rum last night, 750mls.
“Wow, that’s a lot! Were you with friends or alone?”
“…Define alone. Was I in the room alone? Yes, but I was with friends.”
“Oh, online?”
“Yes, we were playing an action game.”
No. One. Cares.
I only care if you were playing Fortnite…because, ew.
Then the loud woman next to him, who walked in complaining someone shorter had used her desk in her absence (then swore and said Jesus a lot like it was his fault,) told the floor manager that she’d watched a football game on the weekend. She talked about how great it was to be there in person. The crowd did a walk/march thing from one stadium to another across the city and she was excited to be a part of the experience. The floor manager asked the obligatory questions about which team she supported etc. And then it turned into fake-sympathising with the floor manager because they were sick. “Oh, you poor thing, you should be at home!” etc.
Nah, they have to be at work to tell you idiots that it’s okay to get a “reply all” email.
And don’t even get me started on the angry old woman who –always- complains about everything immediately like it’s a way to assert dominance. If I write about that special unit, I’m either going to throw a banana at her head or get her some new glasses so she can take a good look at herself and her shitty behaviour.
I’m underslept, angry, hungry and my soul is tired on a level I can’t reach with a nap. This week, it’s not wise to get in my way. I feel stifled that I can’t (*ahem) shouldn’t just tell these people to STFU lol.
TLDR:
*This doesn’t make me look likeable.
*Fuck it.
*No, wait, I’m nice! Love me!!! LOL
