Reven Cordelle Caldari School of Applied Knowledge	Posted - 2008.09.29 11:40:00 - [1] ...for using the word "Crap" in an email. How **ing sheltered are people these days? How bloody... pathetic are they to go "OMGZ THEY USED DA WURD CRAP.. EMAIL TO BOSS" sake. Now I clearly DO swear like a dockyard worker, as does my boss.. who they emailed. He didn't really care overly... But what es me off is how fragile this woman is as to whine about the word "Crap". I know kids in kindergarten that know words more offensive than that. She comes down here and goes "We're all busy but if you send an email like that again I'll forward it to Mike (my boss)". Why am I being threatened by some hyped up female? Okay so you make the threat, and then send the email anyway. Gonna start snapping vertebrae soon. What the , why bother?! If you're so busy yourself then shut the up and stop sending useless emails to my boss.. WOMAN. Hell, why are you even here in the office? This is Man territory. (Risque! Bring back the 1940s!) This ain't fair to be honest, I literally have to keep the hardware for a 400+ User Call centre afloat ON MY OWN and I can't even use the word "crap"?! I have people *ing in my face, I can't even park my car here (Telephony Analyst isn't allowed a parking space, but all the call centre monkeys are...) so I have to take the train... Grr. As if my morning commute on the train, standing cramped with my bike and some fat who smells like coffee breath and urine wasn't bad enough, I have to endure the idiocy at work as well. Goddamn, I seriously hate people... Its obvious. The other day I had some dude giving me a lecture on how I could be doing a better job if I had the people skills. People skills? so what is that. People Skills. Is that where you let people walk all over your ass so you can make them happy? If so, ** People skills. /Rant.

cpt Mark	Posted - 2008.09.29 11:43:00 - [3] Edited by: cpt Mark on 29/09/2008 11:44:48 Get over it. Some people are morons AND YOU aren't excluded. and if you said for example, Don't give me this crap, or "I wont take this crap from you anymore", or "Who did this crap?". Clearly the word becomes offensive. Crap on its own, means feck all. EDIT: and no, people skills is walking over people. Sadly, bad things happen to nice people. The world is ****ed up, what more can I say.

Bish Ounen Gallente Omni-Core Freedom Fighters Ethereal Dawn	Posted - 2008.09.29 11:49:00 - [6] Edited by: Bish Ounen on 29/09/2008 11:55:15 Using any crudity in a work e-mail is considered unprofessional. Even if it's something as lightweight as "crap", it's just not acceptable. That's the white collar work world pal. Don't like it? You can always work as a garbageman. I suggest you man up, clean up your act, start PRETENDING to like people (IE: just fake it) and just pay for a parking space at a parking lot. If you want to keep your job, that is. Otherwise, you can quit, and take a blue collar job where you can swear and be an ass all day long. (not to say that blue collar workers are asses, most aren't, but the behavior standard is much more relaxed.) Tactical Logistics using the last T1 Frigate hull!

The world is ****ed up, what more can I say. In the context of "I have too much crap to do", I don't think its offensive tbh. Unless you read into it to an extreme extent and consider that the amount of crap I have implies the task I am doing for them is also crap. Thinking about it, thats probably the case. And of course I'm not excluded, but for some reason it takes one type of person to notice the morons, and another kind of person to just dither about continuing to be a moron.
The TX Gallente Pulsar Combat Supplies Alternative Realities	Posted - 2008.09.29 11:53:00 - [8] I heard only yesterday from someone that apparently a study has been done that shows employees who swear at work are happier and more efficient or something like that. -------------------- [Signature] [/Signature]
Reven Cordelle Caldari School of Applied Knowledge	Posted - 2008.09.29 11:55:00 - [9] Originally by: Bish Ounen You can always work as a garbageman. ..and buy yourself a car so you don't have to ride the bus. Considered the garbageman route. Srsly, if it pays enough I honestly don't care. Also, I own a car but i'm not allowed to park here because they're envious of my car or something... Either that or they're ****ed that on the one time I did drive in, my car took up a lot of space. (American Car + UK Parking bays = fail) Oh, and I take the train. I know my post was long but come on, get the details.

I know my post was long but come on, get the details. I noticed that after I posted, and went back and changed it. Must have skipped that sentence when i was quickly reading. However, my larger point stands. This is 2008, not 1948. That means you have to have at least a smattering of people skills if you want to be white collar. Yes, us IT guys get taken for granted and treated like garbage, but that's the job. Feel free to leave and open up the spot for someone else if you can't take it.

Reven Cordelle Caldari School of Applied Knowledge	Posted - 2008.09.29 12:43:00 - [15] Originally by: Havok Dryke Just tape a cutout of your boss`s face over the roid on your screen. Its not my boss, its one of our many "Insurer Relations Managers" that is the pain in the ass... I'll just stick a photo of her on the biggest, fattest veldspar roid I can scan down. Just have to get a photo now. I'm sure one of the many showcases of professionalism known as the "Christmas Ball 2007" will have some fruitful photos of her falling over wasted.

There - I just made your stuff look silly now. Wow I do not know why I laughed I guess it is because you just took the thread. True though. To Reven, speak it when you need to, but refrain from typing it out. No point in typing it, even though I think sensitivity towards 4 letter words is silly. People will take any chance to get **y, just give them less to get y over and it equals less in your hair. Slade Originally by:** Crumplecorn NerfBat is now known as the WaveMachine. ≡v≡
Fink Angel Caldari The Merry Men	Posted - 2008.09.29 13:04:00 - [19] Originally by: Reven Cordelle In the context of "I have too much crap to do", I don't think its offensive tbh. You just should have thought of a better way to put it. If you sent that to me, I wouldn't take offence to the word, but I would take offence to the attitude you're giving me. Your boss doesn't need the hassle either. He doesn't care, but you've just given him another small pain in the arse he could do without. In this case, you're in the wrong mate, so just take the comments on board and move on.
rofflesausage	Posted - 2008.09.29 13:06:00 - [20] The woman is clearly an arse. You need to wait until she least expects it, then ****drop her.

The trick is not to eff and blind and to maintain a professional tone till you know who you're talking to and what will offend them. Assume and you'll end up inadvertantly offending people.

In this case, you're in the wrong mate, so just take the comments on board and move on. Aye, you'd expect that to anyone else. But not long ago I was up in this womans office with a bunch of other people having a jolly old time. Tea and Biscuits inclusive. The emails she sends me are suffixed with "Rgds" (Regards), "S" which is her first initial, you assume a bit of casual communication there. You know, in the instance that "crap" doesnt really factor in since I talk to this person ALL the time on a casual basis. Oh, and "Rgds", I consider "Txt Spk" which I find more offensive than the word "****", yet I'm not sending emails around whining about how unprofessional it is to be so lazy as to not type "Regards" or even make a signature that automatically includes a suffix.

Yeah they did a study on it a while back, it helps to relieve stress.
YouGotRipped Ewigkeit	Posted - 2008.09.29 13:54:00 - [25] Edited by: YouGotRipped on 29/09/2008 14:03:54 Is that ***** married? It really doesn't matter, go and tell her that she was right all the time, and you two should be getting along just fine from now on, lastly pretend to be interested in her. Make sure she is embarrassed but don't act aggressively.
Fink Angel Caldari The Merry Men	Posted - 2008.09.29 14:07:00 - [26] Edited by: Fink Angel on 29/09/2008 14:07:10 Originally by: Reven Cordelle Aye, you'd expect that to anyone else.

The emails she sends me are suffixed with "Rgds" (Regards), "S" which is her first initial, you assume a bit of casual communication there. Chalk it up to experience. Put her down in your system admin's black book as one to be wary of. (You do have the black book, don't you? ) Just don't get too stressed out about it. In office life you'll come across plenty of people who won't talk to your face but will make sure the slightest little problem is cc'd in to your boss and 20 other people. I deal with this personality type by avoiding if possible and the times I can't avoid them I deal with in a short, sharp and very professional way. However "off the record" friendliness is the first thing out of the window with this type of person. Edit: Schpelling.
Father Dibbles Self Aggrandisement Society	Posted - 2008.09.29 14:12:00 - [27] Edited by: Father Dibbles on 29/09/2008 14:13:59 I would do the following: 1. Suck it up and take it like a man.... but don't forget 2. Put laxatives in her tea I don't really know if its relevant but I have actually punched my boss in the face. Moreover, I was living with him at the time (he is my uncle). Basically I just let his snide comments get to me; I learned an important lesson though, and count myself bloody lucky that a) I still have a job and b) I didn't do it in the office. Now all his goading, laziness, downright terrible management and expenses theft do not bother me. It is more rewarding to just take it and watch him destroy himself, safe in the knowledge that he will be sent back to do a nice stint at Her Majesty's Pleasure one day. Oh yes, and I hate the train too. I reckon I've seen it all - seen one guy literally just collapse and die, one guy that got on the train and yelled **** very loudly as he realised his bike was still on the platform, and my favourite: Sat there waiting for the train to leave, and two pigeons strolled into the train. Pecking about, like pigeons do - one gets off as the door sounds to close. The other carries on pecking about peoples feet as the train leaves, then gets off at the next stop. I also remember this guy that obviously didn't have a ticket being apprehended by police. Walked passed him, and onto a bridge across a dual carridgeway: Yells start and naughty man runs past me with two Pigs in hot pursuit - vaults over the bridge onto the road, where he promptly gets wtfpwned by a van. What was even more crazy, he just got straight back up and seemingly ran away even faster...
