Do your damn Job
By eclectik | July 7, 2007
When you’re at work
Do your job:
Not someone else’s job.
Stop worrying about what other people are doing.
Going “Above and beyond” or “helping out” is fine AFTER you’re done with what you are paid to do.
If you’re a secretary and you’re in the kitchen cleaning, or in the stock room fake getting supplies just because people are in there talking and you’re nosy; who cares that you put the Tupperware in the dish washer and found where all the missing staples were.
…where’s that letter you were supposed to be typing at???
Community food is not an option for me:
I don’t care who you are, you brought cookies and brownies from home?
Do you reaaallly think I’m going to eat those shits?
Who knows what you have going on in that awful home of yours?! Mixing, and then that little germy kid of yours digging up his nose on some “lemme lick the bowl” or your old ass cat done jumped up on the counter and is flickin dander all up in the Nestle toll house mix…people is nasty.
Candy at people’s desk for others to reach their big clammy nasty-ass meat hooks in one after another.
Then when the whole office is sick the next week it’s like “Yeah it’s going around”
No it isn’t you nasty ass buzzards, ya’ll grimy.
Perception of power:
Look at me
Just because you walk all hard and fast, and got a blackberry…yo ass aint important, go sit down somewhere.
Close your door if you’re going to be on speaker phone
Don’t nobody want to hear all that…you’re not important…you’re not getting anything special done; you’re annoying.
(Unless you’re arguing about some personal stuff, that’s always funny as hell!)
..Otherwise pipe down
…you know what you should do? Next time crank some Public Enemy or NWA…that’ll do the trick.
Listen to me
Stop talking so damn loud and hard…putting extra bass in your voice so you sound authoritative…shut up, talk regular.
…you know your laugh is annoying as it is, stop making stupid ass jokes that only you laugh at. Not only am I held hostage by your attention needin’ ass, then I gotta hear that awful laugh and I have to fake crack a smile like it’s amusing?
Go get some of that community food and get sick.
Office chatter:
I don’t mind people talking at work…but damnit
Not all day
Not about the same thing
Not right outside my office or cubicle
Not all loud
And most importantly not about stuff I don’t care about or that’s embarrassing to you 
• I don’t care about your child unless I ask…and guess what? I’m not asking.
• I saw the game, but you don’t know anything about sports so stop trying to relate/get in good with me.
• I don’t care that it’s their last day…I didn’t talk to them while they worked here.
• No, I don’t want to go to happy hour; I don’t want to talk to you sober; imagine what’ll happen when I’m Niiccee!
• If you’re going to talk, fine talk…but get away from the copier IIIIII’m actually working.
• Ohhhh nice, you brought your son in…oh look he’s fuk’n up shit…how cute.
• I don’t want to sign their birthday card, I never liked them.
• YOU wrote it, just because YOU can read it don’t mean I can!
For the record, I LOVE my job…my job…what I do.
Says NOTHING about the people that are there.

Man, I work around a bunch of dog lovers that put pictures of their freaking dog on our DEPARTMENTAL meeting agendas! The worst part is they all the black labs…no one can freaking tell what dog is what. Just a bunch of black dogs! Then they go into the background of the photo like it was a photo shoot at the Play Boy mansion. Then other other half are married mothers…please shoot me! Love you…DL

-Thank you! And I let them know that I don’t eat anything “homemade” , brought from home, already open…you get the picture.
Also, I work with a bunch of dog and cat lovers. I hate animals, I never have liked then nor will I ever like them. People have brought their dogs and cats to work. I have a very strong aversion to cats, I hate the way they look, smell, sound. I told my boss that since a cat was broke to work, I had to go home. She asked if I was allergic I said “Nope, just don’t like them, and since I don’t work for a vet, I should not have to deal with this s@#!. Well, needless to say, my co-worker was told to take her animal home immediately.

Y’all leave the dog lovers alone dammit. I love my dog too, LOL!!!! I am loving the pics of the black women at the top of each new post.

lol Nice post. I could really relate. I have a coworker in the next cube over, and he talks extremely loud but always making up his own words. Ex. ” Wonderific and Supertabulous” WDF. I swear he irks me. I’ll say good morning Vic, how are you? This dummy smiles widely and says Faburific.
I just walk away.

**Dead**Especially at the part about cat dander in the food.
I don’t get why people are so in love with their pets. Half the folks I run into love their dogs more than their man and their kids. I don’t get it. I hate seeing those nasty pics of a person’s dog laying on the floor with their legs wide open. That’s just plain nasty freak!
People used to get mad at me when I closed my office door to have a conversation. STOP BEING NOSY and do your job!
Great post!

Keep bringing the goods E!

LMAO!!! Everyone I work with openly hates each other. I makes for a healthy hostile environment. I have unfortunately worked in the fake situations and I got to say my current situation is great. Regardless of the fact that we can’t stand one another, it’s radio, one can’t operate without the other.

“Stop worrying about what other people are doing.”
Don’t you hate when you’re talking to someone & another person jumps into your conversation & feels the need to comment on what you just said. I wasn’t talking to you!! And when they blab their trap they expect the whole office to take interest every time they open their mouths. I couldn’t care less about their life. People really do think they’re more import. than they are. When you don’t notice them they go out of their way to start conversation w/you. “Have I given you any indication that I’m interested in talking to you?” is what I feel like saying.
“I don’t care that it’s their last day…I didn’t talk to them while they worked here.”
Some people are smart enough to know that nobody will miss them when they leave so they don’t even bother w/ after work drinks/happy hour

Do you work with me? Imma have to watch my back……lol…….why do people expect you to eat whatever they bring in like you have no other food choices.
• Ohhhh nice, you brought your son in…oh look he’s fuk’n up shit…how cute.
lmao…..ok that is so true and nobody says anything except me because my child can’t come up in here actin a fool so why should yours……
You are hilarious…I cannot say it enough…I am trying to not laugh loud in my cube but damn my ribs hurt…..peace
