Diary of a Suck Hole
I had a rather animated discussion with a friend recently in relation to work performed ‘after hours’.
This is something I am sure we have all done when required to complete a project for deadline or assist a customer with an after hours service issue paid or unpaid is it is in my case. No I am not talking about that sort of after hours work. My annoyance is with getting into the office on Monday morning and checking my email to find emails sent from a colleague (cc’d to the boss of course) at say 10:30pm on a Sunday night or 6:45am on a Saturday morning. None of these emails are of an urgent nature, just run of the mill normal work dribble.
I find it stupid that a person would get up early on a Saturday morning or stay up late on a Sunday night to do non-urgent work. My suggestion is that the only reason said person is doing emails at those times is to make it look like they are a real hard worker and trying to portray themselves as ‘committed’ to the company perhaps more than others. In other words I think they are dirty rotten suck holes.
My comments of ‘suck hole-ism’ annoyed my friend as he suggested that maybe these people genuinely work at these times as a matter of convenience in their day to day lives. For example, they might skip some work time during the week and do it on a Sunday in lieu. I say bulldust dog!
I have three questions
1. Do you agree with my suck hole thoughts?
2. Has society really evolved to a point where any employee can work a 40 hour week spread over a 168 hour period as and when the employee sees fit?
3. If I ‘type’ all my emails at work during a normal 8 hour 8:30 – 5:00 weekday save them as a draft and then strategically send all of these typed emails from home at 10:30pm just before I go to bed, will my star rise?
SJ, I wish to make several points here.
1. You are a loser.
2. I agree with you on your dislike for those who you crudely refer to as “suck holes.” Individuals who deliberately send emails at strategic times are not the type of people that I want working for me. I see through that tactic very swiftly.
3. Employees who need to “impress” their employer through these means is obviously lacking in the quality or substance that impresses the boss in a genuine manner.
4. Bevans are dumb & lazy by nature. I would be surprised if bevans were intelligent enough to even consider “tactics.”
5. The bevans who’ve impressed my father & I in the past are those who turn up to work sober! We do not have high expectations from you lot!! The bar is very low…. yet Reeegitz, Woody, Velcrap & the Fat One probably still miss the mark.
That’s OK dipshit. I wouldn’t be caught dead in your chicken shop anyway. Sounds like a classy establishment you’ve got there if the sober ones impress you!
If you pay peanuts, you’ll get monkeys. I’ll bet that’s why your Dad gave you a job.
Hey Iamadumbniff.com, there is 4 e’s in Reeeegitz you scrawny little chopstick!
I am shattered that I don’t have the mandatory qualifications to work in your sweat shop. We could all make a living by by running a “business” who exploits their staff and pays them in rice, but most of us have morals.
Have a good sleep tonight champ!
GOLD! Velcro GOLD!
Well well well my foe have really stepped the game up tonight!! Clever & humorous! I enjoyed both posts.
Realbiggutz, glad to see that you’re back making me laugh again. I used to look forward to your commentary. Of recent times it has been poor. Lets hope you can keep it up.
Velcrap, I’m surprised at you!
YTD Scorecheck; IASM 25 vs Realbiggutz 5
IASM 49 vs Velcrap 1
You are a bit negative champ. I don’t agree with your suck hole thoughts and am quite sure any that 99% of people are honest. Its the 1% you have to worry about.
Shirvy, you’re a Niff.
Have you heard from Freckles since you called him a suck hole?
iamadispstick.com is surely freckles!
Point 1 if they are doing it for the reason you state then they are suck holes.
Point 2, Mate I often go to work on a sunday night if I know we are in for a busy week helps me start monday on the right foot….. but and its a big but, if I’m there for say more than 2 hours I book it, the client ends up paying for it so no big deal, I don’t do it to score points besides the office is air conditioned and child free and all the other f@#k sticks aren’t there.
In our work place the guys often work the hours to suit them selves it just depends on the job they are doing at the time, but as most of our clients are 24/7 it doesn’t matter as long as the job is done on time the client is happy.
Point 3, As I have known you for some time S.J. I don’t think it would help your star for a minute, every company needs a whipping boy that’s why you and I have big shoulders and bad backs form carrying every body else.
1. NO
2. YES, Depending on the business need. Why not?
3. NO, you should be spending every spare minute on seek.com
Much as it hurts I’m with Megaman here SJ. One of the reasons I like my job is the fact that I’ll do some work on the plane tonight then hang around at home tomorrow morning and play with the kids for a couple of hours. If anyone I send an email to tonight doesn’t know me well enough to realise that I’m not trying to suck up to anyone then they can kiss my hairy white arse for all I care. I don’t need to tell my boss what I’m doing but if I did he’d have no problem with it at all.
SJ, you’ve got far more work to do than a few strategically timed emails, in fact given your results, I reckon you’re better off giving your boss the impression that you spend very little time at work champ…..god knows you’d be gone tomorrow if they thought you were working hard to deliver your current output!!!
Tonguesy, as much as I dislike IASM, did you consider the fact that he can string more than 3 words together before suggesting that he was Freckles in disguise???
Bevan of the week? You guys can decide;
1. Greg Bird or
2. Knuckle head Obama would-be assassins or
3. The Fat One. Stop the big important guy work talk loser. The only time you’d be on a plane is during your extradition!!
Sorry IASM, I know your only sledge is “you are a fat loser bevan” and any hint that I may not actually be one hurts you deeply. I’ll try to remember that from now on.
Fat One, I’m not surprised that your memory only serves well enough to remember the most recent (or most apt) insults, but if you dare to search back a little further you will find that my array of sledges directed at your pitiful self is a little more diverse than that! I have no doubt that you ARE a fat loser bevan. Your comments have confirmed that beyond doubt. Do not, for one minute, think that just because your work HR department urgently flew you to Sydney for a “how to treat women in the workshop” seminar that you are any better than the rest of your blue color brigade!!!!
By the way you are my choice for bevan of the week.
Very nice work IASM!!! I must admit, I enjoyed the extradition call too.
Am I far off with my theorising?
Well I’m definitely fat, although I’m not sure how much credit you can take for working that out. Outside of that it’ll probably kill you to know that I’m very much a white collar worker and do indeed fly for legitimate, non-disciplinary, business purposes very regularly.
