A Possible Reason For The Insanity We Call The Cube Farm...

"Desk rage spoils workplace for many Americans"

Maybe that donut from the parking garage this morning has this so-called "Desk Rage".

I have actually seen quite a few people lose their shit at work in my lifetime. Of course, you never see them again, but at least you got a good show before the ax fell.

Drama In The Parking Garage...

So...This morning I was tongue lashed by an ugly women with a bad wig. What, you say? Well, it all started with a simple question...

I am driving into the parking garage and parking in my usual area when I see this guy wearing a Hawaiian shirt and jeans. No big deal, right?

So I park and get out of my truck and then see another guy (I used to work with him before he transferred to another floor) wearing a Hawaiian shirt and jeans also. No big deal, right?

So I walk to the elevator and see ANOTHER person, this time an older haggish looking creature wearing a very bad wig, which was on slightly crooked and quite possibly had a chin strap, who was also wearing a Hawaiian shirt and jeans. So I ask her, "Is it Hawaiian shirt day on one of the floors?". She then precedes to rip me a new asshole and claims that I am being rude by having the nerve to ask her that. She also screams a question as to whether she should return home and change just to satisfy my fashion taste. The first thing I thought was "Fuck you", but instead of saying that I tell her, not only was her response rude but she should leave her crabbiness at home before she comes to work Crabby McCrab, (yes I did call her that).

So we are walking out and I didn't bother to hold the door for her...

My question is this, Was it entirely rude of me to ask that question or was this Harpie just looking for a fight?

Does This Tat Make My Ass Look Big?...

"Too tattooed to work?"

Tattoos can be very off putting in some circumstances and hot in others...

I have mixed feelings on this one. Although I have a tattoo myself, I don't think that ALL tattoos are something that should be flaunted in the workplace. There has to be some form of professionalism when entering the job market, especially in an environment that I currently work in. We do have a business casual dress code but at the same time you shouldn't be coming to work looking like you just woke up and rolled out of bed or just came from the beach. Too inappropriate. Likewise, when you come to work I feel like I don't want to be looking at someones tattoo of a skull with a knife through it all day long. If I was out at a club, I wouldn't give a shit, at work- different story.

I also wouldn't like to be served at a restaurant by someone who had all kinds of piercings coming out of their face and tattoos up the wazoo while I'm trying to enjoy my overpriced steak and baked potato. It's not classy in an environment like food service. Just as I wouldn't want to be served by someone who had all kinds of black shit under their nails. Appearance baby...

Now, would I enjoy hanging out with a tattooed up leather daddy on a Friday night? What do you think? There is a time and place for everything...

PS. That ultraviolet tattoo sounds really cool. I had never heard of that one before...
