Co-workers; part deux

[archenemy]

In cubeland, nothing is private. I overheard my next door neighbor (who just returned from maternity leave) talking to her hubby about their newest family member.

 

"I love it when he pees on himself"

 

I busted up. I hope she was talking about the kid.....

 

What did you hear that made you bust a gut?

"high tech is dead. need proof, just watch the last star trek"

This morning:

"So, you're reporting a problem with your unit?"

[Alpinfox]

 

This afternoon:

 

"Put down that pipettor and kiss me loverboy".

Nice separation. Your peaks and valleys are mine to trace.

"...it left me wanting more..."

 

I later found out she was talking about a home espresso machine

Yesterday in the lab, I accidentally told a coworker she could "have her way with my box". At least I didn't say "unit".

Fresh from this morning:

Apparent goings on at a going away party the night before....

Idiot coworker #1: "Man I almost got lucky on the dance floor last night"

Idiot coworker #2: "I saw you out there working it"

IC #1: "Yeah I almost copped a feel"

IC#2: "You've got the devil inside you!"

Co-worker: I can't change the designation in this dept b/c I don't have the option available to me.

Me: That's b/c you don't have clearance to make that change.

Co-worker: Yes, I do.

Me: Then make the change.

Co-worker: But the button to make that change is not showing up on my screen.

Me: That's b/c you don't have clearance to make that change.

Co-worker: I do too, I always make this type of change.

Me: Then there should be no difference in your options. Make the change.

Co-worker: But I don't have that option.

Me: That b/c.......arrggggg

In a company-wide email a couple days ago...

 

"Anyone have the company pickup?"

 

That was the extent of the email. Our parking lot is verrrry small.

Co-worker: Is it plugged in?

Me: Yep.

Co-worker: Can I get started?

Me: Give me a second to get you turned on.

Co-worker: I'm already turned on, I just need to connect to the internet.

 

Context: Co-worker moved to new space and needed LAN connection hooked up, which I had to activate in a back room. As I was walking out of her space, I couldn't help but notice a different co-worker smirking, which made me replay our conversation in my head.
