Line Meeting Scribe
There are some people working in my area that have absolutely nothing better to do with their time but think of ways to fuck with me. They live for those moments where they can exert some control over me no matter how insignificant it is.
My area knows I hate our line meetings. I have been loud and clear about severely disliking meetings, and that I feel we have too many meetings in general. Nothing productive results from participating in these sessions. Ever. To me, line meetings are simply yet another distraction interrupting my work. I'm also extra pissed off when I have to wake up early and arrive at work way before I normally would have just to make it to one of dayshift's whining and moaning episodes. So I don't show up anymore to any of their meetings. I haven't shown up for months. I got so sick of it I boycotted them all and now I appear hours after any scheduled line meeting was to have taken place. Dayshift questioned me about it a few times with fake concern in their voices. I told them the truth, that I was done with showing up for them and that they suck real bad. Or something like that.
I'm sure they spent many days dwelling on how to trip me up with this. They succeeded. Their diabolical plan was to make me the new line meeting scribe. The scribe has to sit there for the whole miserable, useless, retarded meeting and take down notes. The meeting minutes, generally speaking. After it's all over the scribe has to email the minutes out to everyone. Squirmy thought it was a great idea when he was presented with dayshift's brilliant suggestion to make me the new meeting scribe. He informed me of their idea this week and told me I had better be there for the get together, and he added I better be there on time. Fuckers. I have to be present and I have to pay attention. I don't even get the luxury of being there and zoning out anymore. I can't daydream of feeding my coworkers to the lions or have visions about performing warped Nazi medical experiments upon them or... or... This is going to be pure hell for me.
So I showed up today. I scribbled some shit down in a musty conference room surrounded by people I detest. May lightning strike them all dead. Anyway, here's what I got in my notebook:
Assembly
-Concern over the rework listed on assembly sheet. Call Dee to clean up.
-Suggestion to inspect PC boards briefly when they come in from stores. *you stupid bastards should have been doing this already*
Test
-James displayed graph on August shipped units.
-Ergo freak engineer called Squirmy concerning workstation arms. Squirmy will meet with the technicians to discuss the problem soon.
-The Troll ordered Gary and I two new Hubie Carts with taller dimensions for Final Assembly. *about god damned time they did that*
-He Man is troubleshooting red boards for the power mods.
-Kiet mentioned getting our new electrical engineer to examine a problem with the buffer boards.
-Slobbering Mouth Kid will be in VID until the 26th for most of the time unless we need him to test boards.
-Squirmy thanked us all for getting the phone usage down. *yeah thanks for cutting back on all your personal phonecalls, Toothless* He also said not to worry about our orders dropping off. "We still have our jobs."
-PC literacy class is in the works for folks who are having trouble. The other class coming up is for English reading and writing.
-ISO 9000 audit. Our area did well. Squirmy announced, "During an audit don't be afraid to ask for clarification of the question. Always answer the auditor as simply as possible."
-Training records are up to date, if you have a question see Toothless.
-Squirmy is reviving the tech meeting every other Thursday.
It's all stupid shit. Who cares. I'll email this crap to all of them later minus my sarcastic comments. On second thought maybe I should mail it out unedited. That way I'll get a couple of the losers to cry or kill themselves. Cool.

I agree, Mr. Wad.
Ex-tech
It just didnt work that way. I was repremanded too many times for my insensitive emails. The idiots would butcher the boxes the same way over and over, but we couldnt give them feedback without them feeling like they were being attacked. Management protected the weak minded ass kissers over the productive workers every time. No wonder a bunch of terrorists in Malaysia have our jobs.
barley-
you're right. seemed every time i approached an employee in a tactful and professional manner to give them feedback on their poor workmanship or on a mistake they made, they would flip out. especially the women. instead of being open minded about it most of the time the response i'd get would be something like "you're hurting my feelings." that was the easy way out for them to not face their workmanship mistakes and correct them. and management would always back them up on that. very frustrating.
