OMG there is so much win in this post.Haven|1330716156|3139354 said:You have a partner in crime at work? That's perfect!
The only way I survived my crappy answering phones job was because my partner in crime was there with me. We were very naughty, but the nature of the job required it if we were to maintain our sanity. We had this horrible boss who spied on our inter-office IMs (we were strongly encouraged to use them instead of getting up because it saved company time.) Once we realized she was spying, we sent messages to each other that made her paranoid about a ton of different things. We'd also wear suits to work every now and then and go to different wings of the building and pretend one of us was interviewing another for a job. We'd ask random employees to tell the interviewee how much they loved working there. My favorite was the high five awards--we'd photocopy one of our hands, write "High Five Award" on top, and give it to random people we didn't know in other wings of the building. We'd see them up on their cubes weeks later.
It was one of those Office Space-esque workplaces, where everyone was fake, nobody did much work at all, and I basically would have become a very unhappy person had I spent many years there. So, I had to get creative.
If I were you I'd start collecting ridiculous quotes from angry people and publish a book of them. Someone published a book of the most creative wrong answers on exams, so I don't think this is that far off.
