Goddamnit I'm a Debbie Downer today. Halp. >.<

Mandatory Fun™ is the worst.

Sometimes, at lunch, we go to a casino and they know I don't find casinos fun.

They all think it's fun. If I go, it's for a chance to make money. I've actually sat in the truck while they'd go waste money.

I never find "fun" events fun if they are done:
1) At work
2) During working hours (thus work is still expected)

This also partially stems from the fact that I simply cannot stand some of my co-workers and would rather not be forced to interact with them.

I have also been told that I hate fun.

Sounds like some of you are about to get a visit from the snooty corporate culture department. They like letting the people who don't fit in or partake in the group fun, go :(

Why?

"I'm not here to have fun, I can have fun on my own time. I'm here to make the company money and do my job." isn't the type of thing I'd fire over.

You bring the rest of the department down with your anti-fun attitude. This is creating an unpleasant work atmosphere for your colleagues. Why don't you wanna be a teamplayer? *shows the door while talking*

That's also interpreted as I don't like any of you and I'm not happy here in the corporate culture translator.

So if I tell my administrators to "go *** themselves," it's okay as long as it's in context?

I argue with my boss on a daily basis, but that's because he's my dad and he's had a stroke or two and you have to argue with him to get him to understand.

I spent 45 minutes one day arguing with him in a hardware store as to why a 3/8" female fitting wouldn't work with a 1/4" male fitting for our propane heater. After about 45 minutes I just opened the components and pushed them together and stated "It. Will. Not. Work."

Lol. No, he looked at the components for a few seconds, said "Oh." and grabbed a new heater.

I need to fix our old one, that thing is badass when it's working.

You might be surprised how often people still seriously injure themselves in those things... I just take a sip of a cold beverage and laugh to myself every time one of those comes across my desk... Sad ***...

Why did you spend 45 minutes arguing about something you could have demonstrated in about 30 seconds at most?

I figured if I explained it differently, I wouldn't have to open merchandise which was close to the cashier. I was worried they'd make me buy it or something. At 45 mins I didn't give a ***. It was about $35 for both, in hindsight had they told me I had to buy them, I would've asked for a discount "because they've been opened."
