Weird stuff

So, a whiles back, while googling something entirely different, I came across this. Cute, and hilarious. And kinda weird. Why do people do this? Then today I clicked around some more and found this. Seriously now, why do people do this?

because they can

Thanks. You just about got me fired.

I busted up laughing and my receptionist looked over to see what I was laughing about. Now she says she'll write it up as sexual harassment.

Marsha Mallo. Sheesh.

Which one, at the dog one or the Cthulhu one? Or did you go clicking around the rest of the site? :P

She didn't get the Cthulhu one, but she laughed at the wiener dog.


Yes. I did a little random clicking around the site. I'm a bad bad boy. You can probably guess what got me in trouble.

Truth be told it's a very relaxed place. Corporate requires us to fill out and sign a form every month stating we haven't been witness to any sexual harassment in the workplace. We just laugh about it. What with our lesbian receptionist having phone sex with her partner and the manager inviting all the employees to a sex toy party (including me!) we're a lawsuit waiting to happen. I could make myself some money off this one if I were a vindictive man.

I think I want to work there.

Bring in an application! We just got a new regional manager who we can't stand. We love our manager, but we're afraid she'll get fired (arbitrarily). If so, we'll probably all quit.

heh, I don't even know what you do but you appear to be 3000 miles away. (I seem to have ended up doing tech support.)

I'm a massage therapist. :D

[identity profile] salzara-tirwen.livejournal.com 2009-05-31 04:40 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah, not my area of expertise. Oh well.

I don't know if you'd need expertise in massage therapy to handle the business side.

I was discussing this with my receptionists today. You could do Massage Tech Support. I can see the phone calls now:

Customer: Hello, my Massage Therapist refuses to boot.
Tech Support: Can you describe what happened during your massage?
Customer: Yes. My Massage Therapist just left the room after an hour.
Tech Support: Don't you know that is a feature, not a bug?
Customer: Yeah, I read that in the documentation, but I want him to continue to massage after the first 50 minutes!
Tech Support: I'm sorry, but the system you're running doesn't support 80 minute massage.
Customer: Can I upgrade my system?
Tech Support: There are several systems that do that, but they cost more money and are buggy.

...and so forth. :~P

Why not do this? Hot dogs tend to be kinda boring. If you can liven em up in any way, even the method of cooking, why not?

[identity profile] fantasyecho.livejournal.com 2009-05-31 12:36 pm (UTC)(link)
Well, if I wanted to liven up hot dog roasting, I'd devise a spit of sorts. But they're doggies! ;_;

:P
