“The Healthy Companies Committee,” explains Katherine in D.C., is the name of the office pep squad led by the sender of the e-mail. (“Ironically,” she adds, “he does not seem to be able to deal with his frustration in a ‘healthy’ way.”)
The hilarity of this note is more subtle than say, a “Thank you Terry,” but don’t be fooled: it’s not your garden-variety “do your dishes” note, either. (Pay particular attention to paragraphs one and four.) It’s like something straight out of a script from The Office.
Don’t you wish you could read the earlier drafts?

I’m confused…what’s wrong with asking people to clean up after themselves like frickin’ adults? I worked in a hospital that had the messiest goddamn doctors on the planet (who felt like I was there to clean their messes up,) so I sorta sympathize.

Did you check out the costs of the nannycams? 1. What foolish company would spend $300 to find out who is leaving mugs in the sink?
2. Wouldn’t it be great if they bought the fake baby monitor version and set it on the counter like no one is none the wiser?

The fourth paragraph of this letter perfectly defines everything I love about this blog. I can hear in crystal clarity the 7 am gnashing of teeth, as the author angrily pukes out the first draft of this neurotic goodness, then an hour later, the delicate 8am shattering of their will to assert themselves as they rewrite it. Go team put-a-hidden-clock-cam-in-this-douchebags-cubicle!

I would LOVE to see the NannyCam of him ranting to himself when he opens the dishwasher and *gasp* it’s empty! No one even bothered to put the dirty dishes IN it, let alone run it. grrr… grumble… snarl.

Hrm. I don’t know which one I like best: “fly-attracting murky liquids”, “mystery yellow liquid” or “nannycam”.
I’d have to go with the first, since it has drama (fly-attracting), mystery (murky) and comedy (liquids).
Now, the intent of the note, I totally agree with. People can be such slobs at work, especially when you take the “not my job” attitude.
We have a garbage disposal in the sink. So, how hard is it to give it a turn when you rinse out your disgusting lunch? Nah. Just let the remnants of your horrible excuse for a diet rot in the sink, or better yet, rinse your plate in the sink side WITHOUT a garbage disposal.
Hmmm… sorry for the rant. Maybe a lot of my co-workers are Amish, and they are only used to those pedal-driven garbage disposals.

What I believe:
(a) There were really only four cups in the sink, with a tiny bit of coffee in one of them.
(b) The cup owners never intended to wash their cups- they just wanted to keep them on the counter, nearby the coffee maker. Big deal.
(c) King Healthy is just itching to install a nanny cam, and will probably do so (with his own money) just so he can spend all day monitoring the break room instead of working.
(d) If it took King Healthy an hour to write that note, I would hate to have to work a cost proposal with him; thus maybe it’s better if he does just monitor the break room.

our office has a little coffee/tea area with a dishwasher that never gets ran, and a separate lunch area. Management noticed that the sink in the lunch area keps piling up with dishes, so they installed a second dishwasher so that people would not have to walk all the way to the coffee area (50′). Now we have 2 dishwashers and 2 sinks full of dishes. I wonder if they will install some more dishwashers, maybe one under my desk, it is piling up with coffee mugs

I’m definitely with the note writer. Piled up dishes are disgusting and there are way too many people who will leave their messiness for someone else to clean up.
However, I think the best part of this note is that someone stole the August page of the calendar. Someone really didn’t want to do their week o’ kitchen duty.

Look guys, the “yellow mystery fluid” is my chicken broth and I keep it in the fridge. It happened to be out on the counter for about two minutes because I stepped back to my desk for a phone call, and King Healthy hates it because he’s a vegan. So when I get back to the break room, King Healthy has just poured by broth down the drain, and has the gall to look up at me and say, “What WAS that sh!t?”
I think he feels guilty about it, because then he sent out that note with a big to-do about my yellow mystery fluid (which, by the way, was labeled “B R O T H” on the lid).
The guy is out of control.

My office has a dishwasher AND a cleaner. But some people are still pigs about it, leaving their dishes out on the counter all day, or putting them in the dishwasher when it needs emptying, so the dirty dishes drip all over the clean ones.
We’ve had notes, emails from the boss, whatever, and it still happens. What my colleagues really need is an in-office mommy…

But I did get a little carried away and then it was just more fun to annoy you all, and yes, I have been checking to see my name, because when you are the middle of bugging someone you like to know when you have bugged them again to the point of getting a response. What did your parents always tell you? “If someone is teasing you, just ignore them” – sorry if being the youngest of a large brood has made my instigating skills a finely honed skill. But anyways, this will be my last post… or maybe not. But let’s see if you guys would know me if I wasn’t trying to annoy you… I like to keep you all guessing…

“Imcompetence” is subtle comedic irony. Healthy T-Bone, seems you need a little grammar check yourself (“I don’t what” – What?)

2. When using dishes: wash your fucking dishes after use or use paper plates if you are that lazy.
3. After using the sink: don’t leave your nasty gross food particles in the sink. Nobody wants to see that shit floating around.
4. Coffee pots: turn off your nasty coffee pots at the end of the day and try washing them once a year. If you forget, your pots may meet an early demise.
5. Refrigerator users: Label and date your food. That way after a month of good ripening, we can return the moldy, slimey goo back to its proper owner.
6. Microwave users: Cover your damn food and wipe up the nasty shit that spills over. There is nothing more disgusting that having to look at crusty old food that your lazy ass didn’t want to clean up. You lazy fuckers, you know exactly who we are talking to!!
7. Supplies: Bring in your own god damn supplies and do not touch anything, you sonsofbitches!
8. Kitchen Conversation (our kitchen is open): Please be aware that your loud ass can be heard throughout the office and you aren’t nearly as funny or clever as you think you are. Here’s a hint, Shut the FUCK up!
King Healthy, will you marry me?

Look, Prince Healthy (maybe you’ll be King when you grow up), it’s “HUSKY”, not “oversized”.

Wow Mr. Healthy Companies Coordinator – you are pretty sure that this note was gonna work since you are thanking me in advance for my future cooperation. That kind of assumption and cockiness kind of makes me just want to NOT cooperate!
Thank You Terry!

Guess what guys! Today I was at work and it was like soooooo boring. I have a boring job cos I livc in Manitoba, and it’s like, totally lame here. I once had this like, totally rad job when I used to live in Calgary, but that was back in the days when I dyed my hair blonde. My mum always says I look pretty just the way I AM, and I think she’s RIGHT, which is why I STOPPED.
Anyways, I just wanted to let all my supporters out there know that I reeeeally appreciate all your support!! And like, don’t even worry that all the haters on this boared are getting me down, cos my anti-depressants keep me in a state of perma-chipperness!
Anyways, I have to go obsessively comment on all my other boards, or possibly reply to myself using my extra secret alter ego name, but don’t worry I’ll BRB in 23.5 seconds!!!111oneoneleven

Manitoba, you are nothing compared to Michael when it comes to mocking me… possibly because you are Canadian. That explains alot right there.
Michael, come back!

I’m sorry, but I don’t think Manitoba can hear you, it’s too busy being a province.
But maybe you didn’t know basic geography…possibly because you are American. That explains your use of non-existent words like “alot” right there.

Michael? Anyone? Are you there???? Just cause I didn’t call you by the name you chose, and instead chose the area you live in doesn’t mean anything… Just like in Cool Runnings the Swiss team called the Jamacian team… you guessed it, “Jamaica” and people from Texas are called Tex… But I suppose your Canadian humoUr is a little different than us here.
I think Robin Williams put it best when he said “Canada is like a loft apartment over a really great party”…

Is “cos” short for “Cosby?”
And sorry to disappoint, but I’d have to be Mishee’s girlfriend. I don’t have the right parts to be her boyfriend.

Gosh, this is all so sudden! And to think we wouldn’t have even gotten so close if Boggy hadn’t given us the idea!

Hmm…I think he said that before the great party downstairs decided it was going to take over all the other apartments in the building…
But lets get back to the PA note, shall we?
Personally I’m loving the tuppeware.

I just returned from Burger King. Mishee didn’t, “Hold the pickle, hold the lettuce. Special orders don’t upset us. All we ask it that you let us serve it your way.” She gave me a standard burger WITH pickles. I distinctly said, “Hold the pickles, please.” Man, that is TRULY passive-aggressive!

post 17 — jen — totally wins!
Yes, companies like this should hire a TEA LADY. That one full-time salary will save the hour it took this douche to compose the email and the tens of hours it took the employees to laugh at it and post it here. Saving big productiovity $ for company, giving clean mugs, and cheery delivery of tea! LOVE it.
