Jean-Luc is cool.

We've been designing some CD labels to stick on some discs that we're sending out to clients; today is mail day.

OldOfficeLady: "I'm printing out this CD label, but there's a white circle in the middle, I don't want a hole in my CD design!
Me: *picard facepalm*

Gotta find that ASCII art.

Could be worse!

FrazzledMum's daughter is on Facebook and talking to guys, and like all mothers, she's not exactly over the moon with the idea. One thing lead to another, and we were checking out her Facebook page.

FrazzledMum: "Yea, I can't see this update...waaaiitt...my daughter has a boyfriend?" *checks it out* "Justin....Stormrage? Stormrage? What kind of name is that?"
Me: *dies laughing*
FrazzledMum: "What?! Tell me!? It is bad!?! What's it mean?! Tell me, my daughter's innocence is at stake here!!"

But, is she hot?

Since this blog first started as a "Hey guys, look how much my work sucks" email amongst friends, the replies I usually get are "christ, get the fuck out" or "DON'T KILL YOURSELF" or, most often, "Is she hot? Hit it and quit it!"

While there are certainly some most, MOST attractive women in the office, the problem is that when you do a lot of your work remotely, you can't accurately judge a person over the phone. Sure, some have a totally sexy voice that makes you want to pay $2 a minute, but for the most part, you just fantasize and hope you never meet them.

After I told this story, my friends were adamant that I had to go to Sydney and "collect". CapsLockGirl has become quite the legend to them.

*ring ring*

Me: "Hel-"
CapsLockGirl: "OH GOD I'VE LOST SO MUCH DATA OH GOD PLEASE HELP ME I'M GOING TO LOSE MY JOB"
Me: "......Hi! What's up?"
CapsLockGirl: *sob* "I was working with filtering in excel and then all the data disappeared and oh god I'm so dead I can't reenter all that my job is gone do we have backups please say yes"
Me: "......" *removes filter*
CapsLockGirl: "OMG I LOVE YOU THANKYOUTHANKYOUTHANKYOU I'll never touch filters again!"

I can't tell if she's hot, but WHO CARES, AMIRITE *fistbump*

Title Drop!

This is it.

This is when my friends said I should start blogging my workplace - they said that "this shit needs to be saved for future generations".

This is when CapsLockGirl earned her name, and they realised that my job really is as bad as it seems. Remember, CLG is an office admin lady, and works at a keyboard nearly 8 hours a day.

---

CapsLockGirl: "Help! I can't log in!"
Me: "What's the error?"
CapsLockGirl: "Caps lock is on!"
Me: "Oh, ok, so turn it off?"
CapsLockGirl: "Yea, that's why I rang......where's the caps lock key?"
Me: "It's, er, next to the A key"
CapsLockGirl: "Ok, thanks, please don't laugh!"
Me: "...sure..." *giggle*

Forever shall ye be known as CapsLockGirl.
