The office 'scolding email' thread

[sorearm]

Someone left a can of coke in the fridge and somehow it managed to explode ... said contents of the can of coke where still all over the inside of the fridge for 2 days ... it was like some interesting contest to keep on opening the fridge, see if it had been cleaned up and then close the door

Can of Love?

We have an addition... shouty upper caps

 

[sorearm]

... seems to be the same 'coke can' notemaker

... knocked off marks for attempts at mixing lowercase and uppercase (dotted 'i') ... maybe someone should correct it with red pen?

Why don't they recycle?

Why don't they recycle?

It's seriously annoying. This floor is in NHS hospital, but is a mixture of university and NHS. Now, we do have recycling bins on the ground floors ... but there's none here, despite repeated requests to Estates. Not very 'green' is it? One of the secretaries used to bag up loads of recycling and take it down but she left - I tend to recycle what I can, keeping my cans / bottles underneath my desk, we share the floor with other groups and they don't seem to give AF. So annoying.

I suspect the estates people say it's the university's responsibility and vice versa. It's a shame though, because many employers have site wide recycling these days. My own soon to be former employer actually banned waste bins and replaced them with recycling bins. There were a few people who kept their bins but that was because they are special.

That's precisely the conundrum. It's stupid as the university has really, really good recycling policies and bins ... but that would mean a uni staff member has to do it ,... and it's technically a NHS building ... and so it goes back and forth ... stupid. Utterly fucking stupid.

Intriguing...

This is by the same woman who made the ones about the handsets.

Once again I am sympathetic as there always seems to be at least one loo out of action due to blockages but "WHAT NATURE PROVIDES" amused me greatly!

Does anyone know if the basement showers at XXX are supposed to be cleaned regularly? They are as dirty as Donald Trump's finances (though probably not as mucky as his activities in Russian hotels bedrooms to be fair)
Should this be raised with the XXX Services helpdesk?

Surely as the card holder it wouldn't be too difficult to phone up and query the charges? Especially the easyjet one.

Interesting. I see someone has doubled down with a flight.

I would be tempted to cancel the card and ask for one with a new number.

A bit tame for my liking - needs more 'slip hazards', 'someone is going to break their neck' and random unnecessary exclamation points.

5/10 could do better

For goodness sake, how's anyone supposed to get approval if the IT Team keep scribbling out the name of the person to contact

 

[cybershot]

To be fair that used to drive us fucking nuts when I worked as 2nd line IT support.

^^^ Love the use of coloured text, but it should have been in comic sans, they missed a trick there.
