Conclusions made at work ....

I have come to the conclusions that government offices need to provide a Screaming Room/Punching Bag Room.

I need someplace to take out my agressions. Today I was sending off a bunch of faxes. Not a problem but the numbewr provided was wrong on one of them, and I couldn't send any more faxes because the machine kept trying to send the one witht he wrong number. All I kept getting was a voice message telling me that the number had been disconnected.

I try to call the phone number provided and it has been disconnected too. So I search through the system and finally find the proper number, and I call the woman. She informs me, in a barely understandable accent, that the number I have is correct and I should just send the fax already.

Now, I'm getting a ton of phone messages but I don't have acess to my voice mail box and no one knows the number because it wasn't reset when the last woman left, and I called the last woman and she wasn't in!

I could scream! Those who know me know that I'm pissed off because I don't write run on sentences and this is filled with them!

I need a place to scream becasue if I scream here I'll be fired and maybe institutionalized! They really need a screaming room. I think fewer people would go postal if they provided a screaming room.

Thanks :) ... I just needed to rant before I threw the fax machine out the window ... I think that LJ is going to have to double as my screaming room ....

It works for me. LJ, that is. Not fax machines.

Too bad you don't work at NDHQ (you don't, do you?). The gym and related punching bag/sparring equipment is quite nice and surprisingly extensive.

Nah. I'm in the Thurston Drive building. Middle of Nowhere Gloucester. They've got a mini-gym, but no punching bag.

stupid fax machines!!! There was a simular situation here we found out the were using a fax modem and the paper was differant size.
for me it is the photocopier..... we just don't get along


If you are sending me that item the office had a suggestion. Freeze first - stays fresh and then send to office where it will be delived and I don't risk missing it. Personally I think they want one too.

Miss ya
