And then you had a foursome and didn't know the cameras were on...yeah yeah yeah I read that one.  We had a fired employee shoot red paintballs at the boss's windows from the parking lot. Creepy, but not too bad. Later that year, security cameras caught one of our new hires stealing microwaves and other electronics from the other companies sub-leasing space from us. The worst part: he was our only minority employee at the time. |

Hopefully you learned your lesson. |

Zing!
I have no horrible office stories. No wait, I take that back. I do have a good one, not really an office space type story though.
I was working late at night with my headphones on in a small building that was 2nd floor offices, 3rd floor apartments. At around 1 or 2 AM I go out the door to leave and notice that the office across from ours is open and the doorframe is lying in pieces on the floor. I'm a bit freaked out because I have no idea if the person who broke in is still around or not, so I creep outside and boko to a police station which is only a couple of minutes away. I end up coming back about 10 minutes later with the cops. They guy up the stairs guns drawn and for whatever reason I am right behind them. The whole time I'm thinking to myself just duck and cover if anything happens.
Weirdly enough they have *me* talk to the residents on the third floor to find out if they heard or saw anything. (The fuck? What was I, honorary junior investigator?) When they leave they also forget that they've propped open the back door with a brick and I have to remind them to remove it.

Working in a TV newsroom. Plunged into this environment after years in regular office-type space.
Open plan office design means I can see someone facing me, looking back at me over the monitor. And she's the hot newsreader everyone lusts after, all made up for TV, reading her email.
I am too distracted to work effectively. But my job is to meet unmissable deadlines for TV. Have you ever seen the news NOT go to air on time? No, it must always be on time, therefore deadlines are absolute and missing them is death.
I focus. And then the other two hot newsreaders everyone lusts after arrive, for a gossip session. Together the three of them lean towards the monitor, looking at some funny email attachment.
And it's two minutes to air.
And ? Did you come ? |
