Notes From Cubicle 211-A

One well-placed source told me that our real estate group claims to have “many studies” that show each member would have to pay out an extra $5,000 a year in order for the center to break even.

 

Perhaps there are other costs such as insurance and stuff. Not siding with evil management -- just showing off my open mind.

 

And you guys have perks? Real employees get BUTT-fucked with no K-Y.

It's got to be insurance or something similar. But even still, an extra 5 G's a year from each member is a hell of a lot of dough. I just can't buy their story.

 

As for perks, honestly we probably aren't any better (or worse) off than most other employees elsewhere. I'm probably just annoyed about the fitness center becasue it's one that I use constantly and very much enjoy having around. And for all the blustering management does every year (i.e. at health benefits enrollment time) about how it's important for us to take care of our health and help keep the company's medical costs from getting completely out of hand, it's ironic that they've chosen to yank away one of the easiest ways for us to do that.

 

 

The funny thing about my place's health care costs is that I'm probably the only healthy one here. And when I leave, the median age of our staff will shoot up. I think the next youngest person here is at least a dozen years older than me.

whatever happened to Silverstone anyway, I thought she had a quite a career going (not that I care one way or the other). I always confused her with that chick from Legally Blonde, who seems to have surpassed Silverstone in high profile movie roles.

 

I love the guys who wash their hands and then grab a paper towel to use to open the door on their way out. Like that matters--these guys touch all kinds of public things throughout the day, including the break room microwave door, refrigerator door, etc.

 

kkk can back up this up--there was a nutjob where we both worked grading tests who would damn near take a bath in the men's room. This guy had the water running forever and spend 5-10 minutes washing. Oh yeah, this prick also hogged 2 of the 3 microwaves in the lunch room to heat up his giant lunch every day, instead of just thowing his shit into 1 oven.

I don't know who you're talking about. What was his name?

Don't remember his name. He was a reader, goofy, kinda big, blonde hair, always wore t-shirts, sloppy dresser, always had 10,000 pieces of tupperware for his lunch.

Oh Jesus Chirst -- I think you're talking about Peter. Don't forget the bare toilet paper roll he used as a banana holder. That may be before your time, though. And these people decided the fate of students of entire states.

 

Funny thing is he called me "aloof" in the end-of-project survey he filled out when on my team. It's called avoiding you at all costs. There's a big difference.
