Idiot of the day

From today I will be posting idiots that call up. Now remember, these people are not regular customers. These are employees at the company I work at (biggest networking company in the world…hint hint) and it amazes me that they are hired.

Feeling of Defeat

Deep inside I believe everybody is a bit bitter and hateful. I mean I’m sure we’ve all enjoyed the sight of another’s failure or misery. It doesn’t have to be something like “Let’s point and laugh at that guy who just lost a loved one”. It’s on a much lower scale.

No Longer A Teen

My first day being a non-teen started off pretty badly. I woke up at 5:55am (on time) and made the 1 hour trek to my workplace and got there on time. I approached my desk and…no chair. Great. It’s going to be one of those days. I like my chair, it’s adjusted at the right [...]
