Feeling a little pathetic...

[RobinHoodDaffy]

O.K. so I have a new co-worker. In the bakery I work in, you have a two man team. So this guy is the new half of my team. He is on older guy who just won't ever shut the fuck up, any time someone, ANYONE, walks into our bakery he just stops what he is doing and tells them a long winded story. Since we work at least ten hour shifts, this is a problem. A long shift comes to a total stop so he can tell a loooooooong stupid story. Just have to set this up, bare with me. At my workplace this is a frowned upon behavior, as you might guess. Now, Bob, is getting in trouble all the time for not getting our work done in a timely fasion and making us work eleven and twelve hour days. As someone with seniority it is often my job to repremand him. As we are a team we have now gotten a nickname. You can probably guess it already. He is named Bob and never will shut the fuck up and my name is J.J. It is too damned easy. So now at work we are always being called J. and Silent Bob. Then I blow off steam by hanging out at Moviepoopshoot. Sigh, so pathetic, made even more so by the fact as I was typing, Morris Day just preformed "Jungle Love" on the Ellen show.
I think I need to break this cycle.

Relax, go have a few drinks at the Meow Mix, and meet a nice girl.

Well, I'd say fire him. But now you're Jay and Silent Bob, surely you're a duo... just tell him that he has to start hanging around video stores selling weed and I think your problem may be solved /forums/images/icons/wink.gif He'll tell the boss and you'll get fired... Ah, maybe that's not the right approach after all /forums/images/icons/grin.gif

I'll think on it.

Well it's a bakery, right ? So you got Knives and Ovens and all that ?

I say it's time to make a Bob-k-bob.

<font color="green"> Witty.

Dude, it's pretty simple. You gotta let this guy go. Save yourself the embarrassment and extra work. Although I would feel guilty about firing a guy who's just trying to make conversation, I'd still do it. It's my job. Either way, you gotta do what's best for the team. And by team, I mean potentially you. By yorself. Also, to prevent this from happening again, get someone who doesn't speak English.

That isn't intended as a joke. Really do it. </font color>

run against him

I have a friend who acts the exact same way. He tells these stories that no one would consider a story except for him. Most people have trouble keeping him quiet because he means well, but I have found a method that works. Whenever I hear him start to ramble, I tell him, get this, to "Shut the f*ck up". Not very subtle, but its the only thing he gets. Otherwise I get these stories of how his boss muttered something after dealing with a dumb customer or how a car cut him off and he yelled at the driver. Pointless stories aren't worth your time, let alone your job. I'd get the point to your co-worker quick.

I kinda wanna complain about my week and this seems like the thread to do it in. Feel free to ignore this post.

Ever since about Mid-May, I've been having problems with my back. My Mom kept telling me that it would get better but it kept getting worse. Finally, two weeks ago, we went to get it checked out. I got an MRI and an X-Ray. The doctor decided I had a herniated disc and a tethered spinal cord(which means it goes a little farther than it should). So he sent me to get an epidural cortizone injection, in which they stuck two needles in my back. that injection sucked major balls. The day after the injection, I felt a lot better. I was running around and had a lot of energy. But then I saw a different doctor and he said he thought that instead of a teathered spinal cord, I had nerve clumpage. So he wanted a CAT Scan. I had to go get iodine injected into my spine and then get the Cat Scan. I was in the hospital all day because I had to be there for 3 and a half hours after the injection. I then come home and I can't lay down flat until 24 hours after the injection, so my family keeps walking in on me while I'm sleeping because I've rolled over onto my stomach and off of the pillows. So I got almost 3 hours of sleep last night. I just got back from dinner with my grandparents and now I amgonna go to sleep.

Can't really complain about my week after that.

[code6enterprises]

Yea, I feel like crap. I've got four or five holes in me from needles and stuff.

I was gonna go see Harold and Kumar, but I'm just too tired.

I feel bad, sort of on a moral scale, I watched freaks and Schlitze really freaked me out, the other 'pinheads' in the film along with the other oddities didn't really bother me, just Schlitze and I felt bad with myself because he was just another living being. not that he's alive to care anymore. Anyway to top it off I watched 'the dreamers' and I'm trying to forget freaks (since clerks episode 6 will remind me about it most of the time) and this film is going on and they are watching fred astaire, chaplin, buster keaton and etc, and then there it is, they start chanting "gooble gobble, gooble gobble, one of us, one of us" and then theres the footage of freaks there too. Coinkydink maybe but it was scary seeing it happen all at once.
