I'll be SURE to follow these guidelines the next time I have to deal with a "somewhat insensitive" guy! LOL!
I'm going to need a whole lot of training and refresher courses.
It might even get to the electro-shock aversion level.
One of the guys here at work gave me a magnet with "THE HOW TO GET-ALONG-AT-WORK-LIST" giving examples of 'what to say' and 'what you mean'. I still just go with saying exactly what I mean. lol That way they don't get confused. ;-)

Does this mean that when I used to respond to my old boss saying he wanted this or that by saying, "Yeah, and my ass wants kissing too," I was wrong? Can't be true.
BTW, Vick went to Philly which means I didn't get him either.
Bwahahahahahahaha!
I'm going to have to print those out and put them in my daily planner. When I go back to work next week, I will refer to them faithfully so I can avoid dropping the F-bomb so early in the year.
I am SO glad some days I am retired.
This should work perfectly my job at the clinic in substance abuse counseling!
I may have some trouble implementig #'s 6-13..and #'s 14-18..Fuck it,..I'll just totally ignore #'s 1-5.
why do i get the feeling that this list was made up at each of the jobs i ever had..i worked at family dollar 3 days before i told tom 'fuckyou'...that may have been a record even for me.
hahaha oops...i'm guilty of the 'other' side of the rules and my last boss was so cool, we broke those rules together. not sure I can follow these ;)
Lol, these are awesome. I hate all that sugar-coated bullshit--no one in HR or management ever wants to level with you.
Ha! No F---ing way. I mean, I'm not sure I can manage that at this moment.
*LMMFAO!*
That's fkn AWESOME...My boss would love it!
Kind of takes the fun out of a good conversation, doesn't it???
