So I was thinkin', imagine that. Why must it be "goin' postal" when someone loses it at work? There are way worse jobs out there... So tell me, what job is most likely to send someone into an assault rifle rage at work and why.
Since this is a first for the blog readers, here's how this works:
Minions that receive The Dose via text submit answers or ideas related to the topic. I then pick out the best, or more so the best of the worst, and make a short list of five good ones for everyone to read. Interactive mind twisting if you will. I seldom leave an entry alone. Nearly always add my little piece to it. Some minions take credit for what they submit, some want to remain nameless, but it's a great way to get everyone involved!
5. School bus driver: Yeah, yeah... Everyone says, "Oh I just love children!" Sure... Just wait til you are DRIVING 30-50 5-16 year old little sumbitches for pennies. You wouldn't do the kid, but the bus bully's mother is getting run over curbside when she is waiting on her little angel! - Andy
4. With in-house family: This will piss you off regardless of position. Everyday you're gonna wake up to your boss, your secretary, your assistant, your partner, your pee-on, or your co-worker. Then work a full day with them and maybe even carpool to and from the job. Fights at work, fights at home spill over into the dinner table, and next thing you know, you are pistol whippin' your loved one in their sleep! - Crystal
3. Telemarketer: Your job consists of ruining the family dinner, interrupting international calls that are costing $4.00 a minute, and generally pissing off anyone that dares to answer their calls without screening them. Then you get the bored guy. Keeps you on the phone with detail questions for hours, just to tell you to go to hell. Now, you've smash your monitor over the head of the person in the next cubical and are beating your boss with a keyboard followed by a mouse cord strangling! - Several minds mixed together with the same type job.
2. Nurse/Medical staff: From the time you get there, til the time you leave, you're metaphorically and literally shit on. Nothing is good nuff for the patients, doctors, or other staff. You've had your fill... Give yourself an adrenaline shot strong nuff to bring Elvis and Tupac back and rush the ER floor wielding a scalpel in one hand, and the fire ax in the other! - Amber and a host of others that know this to be true
1. Highway construction flagman: You are the most hated human being on the face of the Earth for thousands of people everyday. Honking, screaming, and yelling by everyone who just had to call the boss with yet another lame excuse for being late. The foreman that put you in that position is about to test his flight capablities off the upper most level of this mix-master you WERE building! - To remain unknown
Little side note from a ballzy friend: "It's not the job alone that does it... I would bet there is a woman somehow involved" - Not a chance in hell I'll tell you who said that, cuz he wouldn't last the night

people that say things constantly like "that being said". my boss says that 9049163-349578 times in one meeting. drives me insane. or perhaps the kitchen vultures that stalk for food. or perhaps the folks that steal lunches or jam copiers or stand outside your office blabbering for 45 mins while you're trying to work. is that enough material to work with? ive got more if you need it :)
ReplyDeleteoh. i guess my dumb ass could have mentioned that all happens at my job and i'm an accounant, as if dealing with numbers all day isnt enough to drive one to blow ones brains out :)
ReplyDeleteKL...you are on the chat room all day.....I have to imagine the guy at your office door for 45 minutes must be sleepy, cause talking to you in the day requires a keyboard!
ReplyDeleteIf I were thinking of a job to make me go postal, it would have to be the waiter at Chili's....stupid fucking costume, stupid fake smile, crappy food, and then some bastard comes in and wants to order lettuce wraps with no stems on the romaine and extra cheese, or a low-fat burger with fries cooked in non-saturated fat grease or some silly shit like that....or....you bring their food to the table but they dont like it...its chili's asshole, it all tastes the same anyway!
