*primal scream* - Page 2

I would like to scream at one of the managers here. It's a stupid reason, but damnit!

He plays with silly putty. If I'm in his office on a conference call, he plays with silly putty. He picks up every thing he can get his hands on and makes imprints in the putty. He squeezes it, he sculpts it, he sticks it to cabinets. Today, he tried to take in imprint of his stupid "Easy Button" (you know, from Staples, the ones that say, "That was easy" when you press them). The phone wasn't on mute. The whole freaking conference hears "That was easy".

AAAAAARGH!!! You're a freaking manager?!?!?!?!

ARRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGHHHHH!

The bank should be able to clear this up for you. I'd start complaining until they tranferred me to a supervisor, manager etc.

Dinglecheese banks.

Sorry about the madness going on around your mom. I will send positive vibes your way.

I'm changing jobs. Agreed to work 80 hour weeks for three weeks to finish up a project for my clien prior to my departure. No problem.

However, the users have since decided that since I'm moving on it is time to finally take a serious look at 10 or so various projects that I've completed for them that they never reviewed. And they want changes. Lots of them.

WHY DON'T YOU JUST REVIEW THE STUFF WHEN IT IS SUBMITTED TO YOU FOR YOUR APPROVAL?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!

Oh well. They'll have to wait. At least I'll have some nice side income for several months.

I'm running a virus scan for the 4th time.

Thankfully it's not on my own computer.

Oh and ARRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGGG.

I love my job. I really do. It is amazing and the company is amazing. But...

No, you cannot have a new computer and every time you ask me it will take me an extra week to get it to you. No, I am not kidding. Now back the F off.

Thank you.

At work, Google thinks I'm some sort of virus. It gives me an error message with each search and says "Your search words resemble an automatically generated heebamawhatsit... please download virus amathingy or spyware amawhojits." Weird.

ARRRGH!

I've heard about this but haven't seen it. What were your search terms?

First I put in "Time Magazine". I was looking for a cartoon I saw online. I got the error message.
Then I put in "Time". I got the error message.
Then I put in "Dean Scream". I tried to find a link to a story I read about his scream being altered. Error message.

So it seems like anything I put in I get this message. It gives me an error page and then gives me a word that's all wavy and tells me to type it in and then it'll send me to my results page.

Bleh.

So, as I was leaving work, I ran a Norton anti-virus thing and let it run. It was scanning my whole computer and looked like it was going to take hours to do so...

Oh, then you are definitely a virus, a liberal media-controlled virus.

Google does that to prevent what they see as automatically-submitted search queries--presumably in pursuit of search engine optimization or click fraud--but I can't find the reference right now. There should be, somewhere on the page where you're asked to enter the CAPTCHA word, a link to report that you are not a robot.

Edit: Found more info on what is happening. I suspect that if it's not your computer, it's another one on your company network or possibly your company's upstream provider.
