check this (http://random-squeegee.com/2004/05/ten-years-gone_25.html) story out.

Holy crap g_s!
That's one hell of a story.
Now where is the rest!

Even skinny geeks
Can sometimes win a fair hand
Some girls see with heart.

I don't need closure anymore. I have a girl who I actually know loves me. It removes all that guessing crap. I don't like getting all mushy, but it feels great to love someone and have them love you back.

Anyway, I can't think about her without thinking about my grandfather and vice versa. I somehow managed to link two of the most painful moments of my life.

I know I should have explained all that in haiku, but this is my thread so I can do whatever I want.

g_s breaks the rules
tells his tale with no haiku

hopped up on speed, man!

And how could you go for the putdown when that adorable little girl is in the pictures? Of course, she gets a lot less adorable when you tell her she has to go to bed...

Hmm. This is offensive and abusive behaviour on Joe's part. Maybe he is acting in ignorance of what he is doing, or maybe not. His intent is irrelevant. The effect is that your workplace is toxic, a dreadful experience, stressful and frustrating for you and the other men who work there. I am sorry you have to deal with this. It is time to get pro-active.

Unasked advice: go to your co-workers. Enroll the others in someone being the spokesperson - maybe you yourself - and going to the boss to state your concerns (action in concert has a huge impact. If you get the other men who work there to support you, you have a lot of power).

Then go to the boss and express these concerns about Joe's behaviour - but state it as concern for clients, not yourself. Tell him how you are worried that Joe's mouth will adversely affect business, particularly where female clients are involved. Say how a female client hasn't heard Joe talking bad about them - yet - but you fear it is only a matter of time before one of them overhears the nastiness (and make no mistake, it is nastiness). Mention how everyone's productivity is negatively affected by Joe's mouth. You can also say that even though the other people in the office are male, that Joe's sexist/porn remarks are making it uncomfortable to work around him.

Then, say how you and the other guys don't know what to do about Joe, and that you haven't said anything to your boss before because you guys were hoping that Joe would take the hints you guys have been giving him for 2 years, but he hasn't. Then ask for advice in how to deal with him. By asking for advice, you place the responsibility for dealing with the situation in the boss's hands, without actually saying "this is a mess and you get to deal with it."

When you talk about Joe, don't be angry about it, or get mean or rude about him. Be regretful, express compassion for the man, and frame it all as a commitment to your workplace and the people you work with, as well as your clients.

You can make a difference. Just be willing to stick your neck, and speak truth. Good luck.

I couldn't find the original "We hate Joe" thread (I'm very lazy)...so I decided to post this here. I am encouraging g_s to print this out and post it at work. :aok: Oh, and anyone else can post it at their work too! ;)



Every office has at least one jerk, pest or loudmouth who drives the rest of the workers crazy. Could it be you? Take this quiz to find out how annoying you might be:

How many of these statements describe you?

1) You make provocative statements to "foster dialogue" or needle others.

2) You often find yourself delivering a discourse consisting solely of buzzwords and catch phrases.

3) You make up nicknames for all of your coworkers and refer to them only by these names. (e.g. "Good job, Chachi!", "I'm going to have to disagree with you there, T-bone!")

4) Your office is completely decorated in your children's pictures and artwork.

5) You have plastered your cubicle with photos of yourself taken with famous people.

6) It is your trademark to recite rhyming or other cutesy messages as your voicemail greeting.

7) The questions you ask at meetings are preceded by long monologues of your views and accomplishments.

8) You routinely eat odiferous lunches at your desk.

9) You bring in dishes that you tried to cook, but didn't turn out quite right as "special treats" for your coworkers.

10) People seem tense -- even panic-stricken -- when they see you coming their way.

11) Others back away from you as you speak.

12) You send flurries of e-mails to the rest of the company telling them what you are doing. (e.g. "If anyone needs me, I'll be in the bathroom.")

13) You vigorously chew or pop your gum.

14) You wear strong perfume or cologne.

15) You assume your coworkers are fascinated by your personal problems and exploits.

16) You interrupt others while they are speaking or are deep in conversation.

17) You are moody and don't care who knows it.

18) You often give others assignments as they're walking out the door for lunch or to catch the train home.

19) You borrow staplers, scissors and tape from others' desks and forget to return them.

20) Your dialogue with others often end with the other person shouting "You are so annoying!"

If you only counted one or two, not to worry, you can quickly make changes before you're labeled a pest.

If your actions match three to five of these statements, take heed. You are on your way to becoming the source of many an eye roll.

If you do six or more of these on a regular basis, chances are you are already on the office watch list and have been anointed by your coworkers as annoying. It's time to do a reality check and make some changes.

Ask your boss and colleagues for feedback, and be ready to listen. If what you hear doesn't fit your self-image, ask them to help you understand what they are saying by giving examples. You might say: "Tell me more about what I do that leads you to believe that." Then listen, without arguing, defending or justifying your actions.

Remember, there are countless ways to aggravate coworkers -- you can even annoy them by trying too hard to please or being too nice! As long as you avoid the aforementioned behaviors, use your energy for the good of the organization and treat others as you would like to be treated, you should be all right.

And remember, it's perfectly okay to annoy others sparingly. It reminds them that you still exist!

I was cleaning out my email today and found a bunch of haiku I'd sent my gf. Thought I'd share:


About the movie “The Quiet Man”

Poor Squire Danaher
With two women in the house
And one a redhead!

I can't say it's true
And I won't say it isn't
Oh, but There's Been Talk!

About Food

Eat some Lucky Charms
They're magically delicious
The Leprechaun says.

Big fluffy pancakes
Smothered in maple syrup
Makes my mouth water

Food, glorious food
Just like Oliver Twist says
I’d like some more please

About candy “Peeps”

Just don't make a peep
Wise words to one in peril
Angers candy fans

Sugary goodness
Arrives in time for Easter
Does Jesus love them?

Why are "bunny" peeps
Not as well-loved as the chicks?
Big nasty sharp teeth?

About Christmas Cartoons

Winter Warlock says
One foot in front of other
gets you across floor

The Bergermeister
Says there will be no more toys
Just doing his job!


About Guinness Stout

Dark and Delicious
While I wait my mouth waters
Nectar of the Gods

About new Star Wars movies

Just hold me darling!
Like you did back on Naboo
All we had was love!

You can’t kill me kid
When I have the higher ground
I’ll cut off your legs!

My Padme is Dead?
Now I’ll talk like James Earl Jones
Walk like Frankenstein

You like those, huh? It's fun to ridicule the new movies in haiku. I don't think I've laughed as hard at the end of a movie as I did when they did the whole Frankenstein thing. It was so stupid. Like most of the movie.

My Ani is dead?
And now I have these babies?
I think I'll die too.

Master Kenobi
Doesn't know Padme with child?
What a dumb Jedi!

Children of Naboo
Born after just a short time
Three day gestation?
