Admin Angst

Getting through the day one cup of coffee at a time.

I tweeted about this earlier, and thought I’d make it a comic. I pretty obviously lost interest midway through the first panel, though.

My coworker didn’t want to come in today so he came up with a foolproof plan.

*while setting up the nativity scene at work*

Coworkers:  Isn’t this pretty?  Merry Christmas!  It looks so lovely out here!

Me:  Why are all the characters in the nativity scene white except one of the wise men?

Coworkers:

Me:

Coworkers:

Me:  What?

Could someone please let the men of the world understand something when they check into a hotel?

It is not my job to flirt with you.

It is not my job to smile at your stupid comments.

I’m not going to tell you what time I get off.

Making kissy noises at me from up on the balcony makes me nauseous, not amused.  

Demanding why I’m so “emotionless” when he’s “joking around” and saying I’m rude when I’m actually just refusing to flirt with you makes you a shitty gross person.  

I am your front desk receptionist, not your fucking geisha, so crawl up to your room, jack off to porn that I know you won’t pay for, and leave me the fuck alone.

"How was work?"

[pleasefireme]

Please fire me. Last Christmas, one of the VPs in my office gave me a present. It was an old garden lamp full of dead bugs, dirt and cobwebs.  This year, she gave me a used scent stick diffuser. Does she think I can’t tell the difference between old and new?

[pleasefireme]

Please fire me. My coworker types the first letter Capitalized if she wants to emphasize it. I tried to explain bold, italic, and underlines and she thinks that customers won’t understand that she is trying to emphasize those words.

I look forward to the day when I never again have to prepare a coffee for a man in a business suit.
