From the accounting department: When we advised cutbacks, well, we didn't say cutback on office space
A guy shows up late for work. The boss yells, "You should have been here at 8:30!" The guy replies: "Why? What happened at 8:30?"
Mardi Gras work attire during carnival season
Three comedians are shooting the breeze at the back of a nightclub after a late gig. They've heard one another's material so much, they've reached the point where they don't need to say the jokes anymore to amuse each other -- they just need to refer to each joke by a number.
"Number 37!" cracks the first comic, and the others break up.
""Number 53!" says the second guy, and they howl.
Finally, it's the third comic's turn. "44!" he quips. He gets nothing. No response.
"What?" he asks, "Isn't 44 funny?" "Sure, it's usually hilarious," they answer. "But the way you tell it isn't..."
When the air conditioning is cranked down too low in the office your hands are so cold you can't type - or you are just plain weird with the fashion statements
Employee: Boss, can I have the day off tomorrow?
Boss: So you want a day off. Let's take a look at what you are asking for: There are 365 days per year available for work.
There are 52 weeks per year in which you already have 2 days off per week, leaving 261 days available for work.
Since you spend 16 hours each day away from work, you have used up 170 days, leaving only 91 days available.
You spend 30 minutes each day on coffee break which counts for 23 days each year, leaving only 68 days available. With a 1 hour lunch each day, you used up another 46 days, leaving only 22 days available for work. You normally spend 2 days per year on sick leave. This leaves you only 20 days per year available for work. We are off 5 holidays per year, so your available working time is down to 15 days. We generously give 14 days vacation per year which leaves only 1 day available for work and I'll be damned if you are going to take that day off!
The work version of the sardine can - packed to full capacity
John Jones, the head of the company asked his manager to write a detailed employment review describing Bob Smith, one of his programmers.
1. Bob Smith, my assistant programmer, can always be found
2. hard at work in his cubicle. Bob works independently, without
3. wasting company time talking to colleagues. Bob never
4. thinks twice about assisting fellow employees, and he always
5. finishes given assignments on time. Often Bob takes extended
6. measures to complete his work, sometimes skipping coffee
7. breaks. Bob is a dedicated individual who has absolutely no
8. vanity in spite of his high accomplishments and profound
9. knowledge in his field. I firmly believe that Bob can be
10. classed as a high-caliber employee, the type which cannot be
11. dispensed with. Consequently, I duly recommend that Bob be
12. promoted to executive management, and a proposal will be
13. executed as soon as possible.
Signed ...
Jim
A memo was soon sent following the letter:
John,
That idiot was reading over my shoulder while I wrote the report sent to you earlier today. Kindly read only the odd numbered lines above (1, 3, 5, etc...) for my true assessment of him.
Regards...
Jim
