This is my first post...after like a year of reading BoredAtWork, which evolved to Ubersite....
i took the plunge
and decided to follow the masses and post about the gayness of my job.... on the outside,
it looks like a perfectly normal job, a 'good' job, if you will
i work at a 'presigious' real estate company (at least, that is what they told me) and the
ranking goes somewhat like this:
Lots of big bosses
\/
The district manager/operating principle
\/
Team leader
\/
MCA
\/
RE agents
\/
The cleaning lady
\/
me (krystal)
Usually when you say receptionist, you think, "oh she sits at a desk all day and plays on Uber"
which is only HALF true... on top of answering phones, getting the mail, blasting off emails to tell agents their paperwork skills are sorely lacking.... etc etc etc
throw in the 'team leader' pretending i am her personal assistant, and there ya have it... not too bad for $10 an hour i guess... but man, all the things i wish i could say outtright to people... i'm sure they'd laugh before they'd realize how stoopid i made them look.... or how stoopid they made me feel for that matter.
Lets start with my 'DM/OP'
we'll call him, for legal reasons of course..... hmm MARK
Mark is a cross between Troy McClure of the Simpson's ("you may remember me from such made-for-tv-movies-as..") and Bill Lumberg from office space... i'm not even kidding....
~sidenote: am i lisa simpson or peter from O.S.??
When i first started here, i thought Mark was frosted flakes great... he was always smilin, 'hey how ya doin today?? you good? tell me something good..."
but then i came to see, little by little.... he was a cocksucker... oh yes, grade A premium cocksucker... when he asks to 'hear something good' and you tell him, does he listen, rapt with ears only for you..? NO HE DOES NOT
he proceeds to WALK AWAY nodding like he cared in the first place.. i spend most of my day talking to his back.... and he always does this and it pisses me off!!!
Then, when i started, i was in charge of ordering office supplies.... i had his CC number, i accounted for every fucking penny.. yet one day he just takes away my CC privledges, because, get this :he thinks that i am going to have my friends come in so i can slip them the number and we can go on like fucking Ebay or something and buy a 1987 MC Hammer watch from a Happy Meal or something...
Then when we are out of something, of course he comes to me to ask why i didn't order it, and i remind him, and he storms off.
Or he will be talking to you and then all of a sudden just pick up his phone and start talking when you're in the middle of a sentence... kinda rude. is it just me?
Now he hardly ever comes in and when he does call, he still asks to hear something good
"well, mark... i didn't crash and die a fiery death on the way to work today" (though i wish i would have)
then he asks for a real answer, like he cares...
so i say that there is soooooo much good i can't single one out...
no i can't try mark
i have to think of cool things to buy on ebay
all bc i am 18, he thinks i am some loser
which i'm not.... people say i'm hot... i dunno.. sometimes i can agree, but only on a good day, haha.... but like, i LOOK like a clean cut kid... i don't drink a lot, or smoke anything.... i own my car and pay my bills and pay rent on my apt w/ my boyriend
i was hoping my first Uber post would be more compelling
sorry
i'm not lame..... i'll try later... More to come on the rest of my bosses... and colleagues.. maybe even my dysfunctional family and 14 grandparents soon....

+1 because I, too, am a receptionist.
Among other things.

I wish I could say it will get better. It was like that for me when I first started working, but my worst enemies were the bitchy, middle-aged women that I worked with.
Now, I am bitchy and middle-aged. Things have changed a little bit. Other bitchy women don't give me any shit, because they know that if they were to try, heads would soon be ripped off.
Men, on the other hand, still do give me some shit. They really hate it when I ask "what are you trying to say?" and/or I tell them "you can't do that. It's illegal." They are usually rude about it but I just ignore them--all the while suppressing the urge to ask them how in the hell they got through their undergraduate years without paying someone to take their exams.
Get used to it. There are many people in this world who are insecure, stupid and maybe even sexist. They will try to make themselves feel important or better at your expense. Just learn as much as you can and think what you want in the process. Your turn will come.

You only need one period to end a sentence, not three. Jackass.
That made me laugh out loud.

Like, and then, like, I shoved a spoon up my cunt, and, like, it got all slimy. It was so weird. "
That was absolutely fucking hilarious.

You'll get the hang of it eventually. I can't say I read all of the post, so here's a 0 and some encouragement to fuck off and... I mean, keep trying. (sorry, it's been a long night dealing with squattail)

I thought twice before giving this post a negative for grammar because you remind me of me. And because who can give a negative to things like "frosted flakes great" or "grade A premium cocksucker."
Or I'm just going soft on the noobs. Whichever the case, you get a +1.
