Today, my boss was angry at me because I had filed a complaint about him refusing to change our phone service to something more reliable. Later, a customer called him and said I had hung up on him. I got fired. I didn't hang up on the customer, the phone service just dropped the call. FML

Listen here, young people, YOU MAY NEVER COMPLAIN ABOUT YOUR BOSS.

If your boss is doing something really illegal or against the company rules, many places have anonymous whistle-blower hotlines. If you don't, then get an unsigned note to someone who can do something about it. Make sure you are not the only one who knows the incriminating information, or he will know it's from you.

Remember my wisdom from yesterday about the guy "stealing" leftover bread? Remember how a bunch of people came and backed me up on that? This is yet another one of those BS things that goes on in the business world. How do you think the whole subprime thing worked? No one has the guts to tell about wrong and illegal things going on.

You might think you are coming here for some laughs, but you might accidentally learn a thing or two about the "real world."

I guess he didn't get the message. It is not your fault. Sorry you got fired. But did you explain it--well you probably did and got the shit end of the stick cause your boss is cheap.

I just got on this site and i love it. I feel better about my life already. And if I didn't think my life sucked already, if I ever get a post on then I can get torn apart by jerks when all I want is someone to UNDERSTAND... sob #6, you just have to undermine yourself. Why are you one here if you don't think people should whine?

I was kind of thinking the same thing, but it's possible that the company doesn't record the numbers that call them, because a) that would be a lot of numbers to record and b) it might make callers nervous about their numbers being sold. I mean it seems like you should at least be able to use *69, but there might be a company policy against it. Or maybe the customer immediately called the boss, so the OP got a busy signal when he called back.

You also could have gone straight to the boss to tell him what had happened... but again, in the case of the customer immediately calling him you'd still be screwed. Sorry, dude.

Trust me, when you get into the "real world," you start getting a lot of FMLs regarding the fucked-up nature of the business world.

Please come haunt me at my office and you will see what you mean. I don't think we are serious about the "No-Ghost" policy.

I've seen a lot of horrifying crap that goes on in daycares. Now, if I had one, I'd be terrified to put my kid in daycare. :/

Maybe I will. I'm your new stalker-ghost, and you can't get rid of me. :]

Actually that sounds pretty good. I have to spend a lot of time alone at work and some time with some rather boring people, so having a lively spirit around is most welcome.

Can you invent shit? I would try to give you credit for the stuff we come up with, but I am afraid the Patent Office won't let me have a ghost that sounds like Catherine Zeta-Jones as a co-inventor, even though we know the truth. ;)

Maybe you can roam around the spirit world and get Archimedes, Da Vinci, Edison, Tesla, the Wright Brothers, etc. to look at my work and brainstorm ideas. This could be great!

Don't worry, I'll scare all the boring people away with my frightening hauntings!

Oh, yes, I can definitely invent things! I co-created and helped experiment with a wonderful, stomach-filling, tastebud-satisfying creation just a few weeks ago, in fact, with a very clever man!

Boo, Catherine Zeta. My lack of faith in her husband's "acting" skills has resulted in somewhat of a grudge against her. :/
I might have to go haunt her, too, but in a bad, spooky way.


P.S. I talked to Archimedes about it, but he told me to fuck off. How very rude.

Oh, Witchy-ghost! Thanks for the effort. I'm impressed that you know ancient Greek.

Did you see that example of corporate waste I just experienced? Of course, you did, you're an all-seeing ghost. We just moved offices and have hundreds of nice cardboard boxes that we have emptied. What did we do with the empties? Did we sell them? Recycle them? Give them to another department in our company? Noooooooooooo! We just tossed them into the Dumpster. I objected, but once I realized that no one else cared, I just shut the F up.

It's true. I'm also fluent in Latin...though when I speak it, people throw stones at me. :[

I did see that, and I got angry on your behalf. Don't worry, though...I've sent a few malicious spooks (think Genghis Khan-type ghosts) over to your co-workers' houses to give them a little...erm...surprise tonight.
Pretend you know nothing in the morning when your co-workers complain about being raped and pillaged the night before. :]

If you want, I can slip a few drugs from beyond the grave into their morning coffee so that you can have free-reign over their actions. Why just stop at making them recycle cardboard boxes? You could take over the company!

But think of the possibilities those cardboard boxes could have served!
Massive fort?
Home for a hobo?
The "box" in a box of kittens?

Witchy-ghost, you are awesome!

This morning when I came in to work, I had eight cups of steaming hot coffee on my desk and many donuts all with notes saying "Please make it stop!"

I used to be very good in Latin, but never spoke it. Mostly I scanned the Aeneid for meter and identified the poetic devices. I considered having Classics as my second major, but I did not like the faculty of the department. I am so rusty in it now. Keep working at the Latin, though, it seems to do great things for your brain. But who am I to tell you when you can ask Great Caesar's Ghost?

Why thank you...Perdy-live? Perdy-solid? Nope, can't think of anything cute. :[

Oh, good, so it's working! Genghis told me last night that he and his minions went ape-shit on your co-workers, even more so than when he was alive. I'm glad he refrained from killing them, though, I don't want to meet them on this side yet! They sound too dull.

Well, that's impressive! At least you can speak some of it, it tends to astound people! How much of it do you know?
I'll let you in on a little secret, though...
When you die, you are automatically knowledgeable in Latin, because it's necessary to communicate with anyone who's anyone on the other side.
I must warn you though, if you try to talk to Caesar, make sure you enunciate your words. If not, he'll scream at you.
