Random work babbles
But it's so hard not to be.
My boss is a large man who says "vee-hickles". Seriously. He gave me this long speech about a part of the filing system he wants done, specifically, about the company cars. And he just kept saying "vee-hickles", not ironicly, just kept saying it. I nearly lost my straight face like ten times, hearing him come out with things like, "We need a file for the vee-hickles, but first I'm going to have to find out who has what vee-hickle, and where all the vee-hickle registrations are. Call so-and-so and find out what vee-hickle he uses, etc..." OMG it was so bad.
This, combined with the reports which often say things along the lines of, "I observed the steel erection then went and used the vibrator," I am nearly ded from the funny. Anytime I ever see the words steel erection I just can't help myself.
1) The main admin was out having a cigarette, and the two bosses where in a meeting with one of the inspectors. The phone rings, so I answer it. It's vee-hickle-boss' wife, who's called twice before when he was in a different meeting. I tell her he can't come to the phone. So, she just starts going off about telling him how she isn't going to mow the lawn because it's 112 degrees outside, and how she sprayed a spider in the house with ant spray and accidently inhaled the fumes, so then she went outside to clear her lungs, which didn't work so she had a cigarette instead, then saw some ants, so she sprayed them with the ant spray and now she's all dizzy from the fumes and did she mention that it's 112 degrees and she is not going to mow the lawn and tell her husband she's going to kick his ass. I know that was a run-on sentance, but that's pretty much how she delivered it. It sounds super bitchy, but she actually said it all very conversationally and like she just wanted to have a gossip. I was literally struck dumb. I mean, what can you say? I think I was crying with silent giggles by the time I got off the phone.
2) One of the technicians in the field kept calling for the main admin when she wasn't available, and would never ever ever leave me his name or a message. Who the fuck does that when they clearly need to get in touch with someone? Wouldn't it be faster to have them call you back, rather than calling every 15 frigging minutes? Apparently what he wanted wasn't even that urgent, because he's just an idiot and a jackass. The next time he calls and pulls this shit, I'm leaving him on hold indefinately. Cause I'm a sadistic bitch, and all.
When all is said and done, it'll probably all be to the good when I leave this job on Friday. Between the immature humor and telephonal idiots, I am going to die.
