Writes our (only slightly embittered) submitter in Connecticut: “My coworker works the receiving department in a car parts warehouse. Even though he works in a warehouse he likes to pretend he works in an office by sitting at his workstation all day working on ‘problems.’ He put this up because apparently people actually doing work were drowning out his Rush Limbaugh broadcast.”

shouldn’t that be “really professional”?
or ” a person who is trying to be a real professional”?
sounds like a bit of a… well, tool.

What he really wanted to say is, There is one person here who is a real professional, but as JJ termed it, I guess he thought it sounded too ‘toolish’. Kind of fitting for a car parts warehouse.
Reminds me of when Ricky Gervais talks to the lads in the warehouse.

I’m suspicious that the sign doesn’t mention real staplers.
What kind of real professionals omit the presence of real staplers in their supposedly real offices?

The middle sentence makes it look like he just cut and pasted his Daily Affirmation.

Boisterous workers and wannabe “professionals” all have got to be real!

All this things and people are, in fact, real?! Gee, I’d never guess… Really! By the way, you’re doing a real nice job.
But hey, are we still real on Wednesdays?

This could ultimately turn into a case of ‘be careful what you wish for’ for our notewriter. Should the background noise subside all at once, he may find the ‘low roar’ he covets is actually the staffwide kicking in of the morning’s coffee.

At the very least, we know from this note who stole the mayo from the office fridge.
He couldn’t resist taking the Hellmann’s…the real mayonnaise!

Nobody’s really posted a great comment yet. This note may be a dud.

This isn’t the business you’re looking for. You can go about your business.

The note-writer sounds like he’s disappointed that he can’t get a more corporate job because he flunked out of college. The warehouse does not live to cater to your broken dreams!

Are you professional or not? Am I going to walk around and rip your fucking lights down, in the middle of a scene? Then why the fuck are you walking right through? Ah da da dah, like this in the background. What the fuck is it with you? What don’t you fucking understand? You got any fucking idea about, hey, it’s fucking distracting having somebody walking up behind Bryce in the middle of the fucking scene? Give me a fucking answer! What don’t you get about it?
