Attention: corporate emergency in the Chicagoland area!
Meanwhile, in Seattle…
Adds our anonymous submitter, “All the glassware for all departments is washed by the poor lab slaves at least twice a day, and then promptly returned to the shelves. How much glassware are they using that they notice if a beaker or two went missing?”

Note #1. I love the fact that this note came with its very own backstorys and I have to find some way of using the term “uniformly present”.
Note #2. What’s up with leaving residual chemicals in your glassware and then crying when someone takes (steals) it, maybe they just took them to wash them out.

Note #1 in reference to Note #2. Well, they’re leaving residual chemicals in the glassware because it’s a science lab. That’s what they use their glassware for. For chemicals and stuff.
Note #2. Have been “taken?”. Also “We will have to take some actions” cracks me up.

Running gag from the movie “Office Space”, directed by Mike Judge (Beavis and Butthead).
TPS report was a piece of mindless paperwork that the main character forgot to send with the new cover sheet (per memo)…and is reminded of relentlessly (didn’t you get my email) in the opening scene in the movie.

@GVI: Glass isn’t completely impermeable, nor can it always be cleaned to be absolutely chemical-free. Even a soak in aqua regia or weeks in a base bath might result in shiny, spotless glassware, it may/will still be contaminated at a molecular level. It’s pretty well-known in the industry that you don’t use someone else’s glassware, for precisely this reason.

OK, the first one. That is why this person is a VP. You know, all of our problems would be solved if you use the white enamel in-boxes, dangit! People who tell me what in-box to use can shampoo my crotch.
As for the second note, I have to side with the note-writer, especially if people are taking the best stuff (which happens to our group all of the time). The worst thing is that we don’t have glassware-washing slaves; we do our own washing up. So, here, they have the balls to swipe our stuff, THEN douchelly sneak it back for us to have to wash it later on.
Or, the note-writer is an anal-retentitive control freak, and can’t share with others. Any way you slice it, you come up with douchebag, though. Yay!

Actually, the second note says, “Thank you for your collaborationS” – plural. This is much more sweeping than just their co-operation in helping to solve this particular problem. Now they are being thanked for absolutely everything they do in groups of any 2 people or more.

In my dotage, I’ve worked in dozens of offices where I’ve seen both in-boxes and out-boxes. I’ve seen an in-box and out-box stuck together, in which case one would be called an “in-box” and the other (predictably) an “out-box”. What are these fabled “in-out boxes” of which the Vice-President writes? Are they one consolidated box? If so, how does one determine which TPS report is “in” and which TPS report is “out”? You can’t! They’re all mixed up– in and out TPS reports together!! Oh, my God!!!! Who is this Vice-President person?!!? (S)he sounds like a nightmare!!! What a fucked up email!!
I’m going to get ready for bed now, but first I have to arrange everything on my desk at right angles.

re: Note 1
Way to increase worker morale, boss-man.
Swapping out the in-out boxes and concern for creating an office “aesthetic” in general doesn’t offend me — especially when work areas are highly visible to passing-by clients and visitors — appearances make an impression. But, what freaks me out is that a boss is focusing energy, anger and attention on such minutiae — surely running the company and exploring new business opportunities should be more important than black or white in/out boxes?? OCD issues aside, shouldn’t this email have been directed at Phil since he was the one with the delegated responsibility of distributing the boxes? This should be Phil’s embarrassing OCD-mission to follow up on. When it is time for lay-offs, who will get cut first? I vote for anal boss-man!! :-p

re: #66 Kelly – I never noticed the AOL line at the bottom. I wish I had – that’s priceless!
Brings to mind one of my favourite ads from a few years back. A slightly-past-middle-age gentleman is walking to his computer with a cup of coffee, saying, “A friend suggested I try AOL and I thought, ‘Why not? I already have a computer!’ ”
I used to LMAO @ that ad. That would be like, “A friend suggested I try street racing and I thought, ‘Why not? I already have a car!’ ”
I can’t believe they are still a going concern.
On a side note: yippee! Got my password immediately after going to bed last night. Looks like some little elf was up late.

Note #1 is not necessarily a fake- it could have easily been forwarded over to an AOL account for global merriment distribution.
So, why does a VP insist on uniformly white enamel in-boxes? I suggest the following backstory:
EVP: “Hey VP, did you get the memo?
VP: “No.”
EVP: “I put it in your in-box.
VP: “No you didn’t.”
EVP: “Here’s a pic from my Treo that shows my memo sitting in your in-box.”
VP: “That could be anybody’s in-box”
EVP: “You are the only one around here with a white enamel in-box”
…

“have been taken our glassware”
There are possibilities besides the English as a second language one. He might have originally wrote, “Our glassware have been taken” and changed it around but forgot to clean up the tense. I don’t know how many times I’ve done something like that and then neglected to proofread afterwards.
Also, people for whom grammar and spelling is not an important part of their careers often become lazy at it, or didn’t care about it in the first place. It doesn’t mean they are stupid or aren’t geniuses at whatever they do. I have a good friend who blows my mind when it comes to his understanding of electronics, but can’t spell worth crap.

Actually, I wouldn’t necessarily have caught that with proofreading. My version of determining if my grammar is correct is to mentally sound it out. If it sounds wrong “saying”it, it probably is wrong. I guess it didn’t sound wrong in my head at the time. It will from now on.

HA!

The woman ended up getting transferred to a smaller rural office – hopefully one with an employee mental health plan.

I worked for someone like Mr. Executive Vice President here. I worked as a waiter, and my supervisor insisted on a white dress shirt, no wrinkles, black pants with no pockets and black shoes. Plus, my hair had to be tied back (it is shoulder length). I came in from a rainstorm and my shirt was wet, that was not acceptable. I had to wait until it dried off before I could work. My favorite shoes were not acceptable, either. They were black, but there are silver pieces where the laces go, and a white bit near the bottom of my shoe. Not okay. I had to buy some pure black shoes that hurt my feet. But at least I matched. If I came to work with a white polo shirt, or black pants with pockets, or I forgot my special shoes, I got reprimanded. It was a serious ding in my employee eval. I never want to wear a fake tie again…

Since I got punctuated last night and had a long discussion on here about golf cart sex, I’m a little tired. (Thanks for that!)
Thought I’d just pop on to say I agree that the glassware might be broken and not “missing.” Those things break pretty easily if they are heated over and over again. We used to break them so much in HS chem that the teacher made us start buying our own!
That and people were stealing them to cook residual chemicals in their free time.

#200 Morpho–That reply should have been included
I know I would have had a thing or two to say.
****The bar at the right indicates that this is the bottom half of the page, the top half probably has the missing reply.

We used to toss small chunks of elemental sodium into the sink. Hilarity ensued.

Physics was teh suck for me. I was hit in the back of the head by a large ball bearing…dropped from a second story window. Acceleration due to gravity is a bitch.

it was fun until my lab partner got expelled – then they found our movie notebook in his locker and turned it over to his mom – told her he needed to be in therapy and so did the other person involved – thank god he never told them it was me

Dear pencil dick, queer eye VP,
Keep your fashion sense to yourself! I spent 8 intolerable hours at this desk and I will bloody well decorate it to my liking.
If I choose a mink covered in-out box it is still my in-out box! Just send the damned work out and mind you damned business.

where do you find a mink covered in-out box? a live mink would certainly cut down on what makes it into the box.

#215, finding wood on other peoples desks is always quite the experience, no?
my only memory of chemestry class is my lab partner mixing chemicals we were specifically NOT asked to mix and it blew up all over the place. hence the reason why its my only memory of the class, i think i still have glass shards in my head.

note 1: team graffiti the white enamel trays
note 2: team get your own damn glassware:
1. as someone who works in the science department of a large college, i promise that residual chemicals are cleaned out.
2. however, it is really fucking annoying when you go to use the glassware you just got in and find that more of half of it is missing because someone forgot to order their own.
3. being married to one, I can tell you that scientists know absolutely nothing about grammar.

Concerning the poor grammar of the chemist, a fair number of scientists are foreigners who speak English as a second, third or fourth language.
Concerning scientists in general, most know proper grammar as one’s funding can be denied for improper use and for misspellings.
