    Not trolling, but someone who has real world experience of management, not just an armchair CEO. You obviously have never had to manage real world cleaners.

    I would like to imagine that nothing you said below what I quoted precludes a person from putting my trash can back where they found it.

    That depends, it might be part of the ISO 9002 spec for your location.

    I'd like to know why it's so hard to put the trash can in my office back where it was, instead of leaning against the wall at an angle (as in, one bottom edge is actually on the wall, not the floor), or on a different wall, or under my desk, even if I put my chair right exactly where the can was the last time they tried that, so this time they had to MOVE THE CHAIR TO AVOID PUTTING IT BACK WHERE THEY FOUND IT!

    Why yes, it tasks me.

    My group has three people, and in our area, about 20 feet away, there's a fridge. We each have a trash can, and when the cleaning crew comes each night, one of our trash cans will end up by the fridge. It's usually pretty random, but it happens every night. With one of our members out on maternity leave for a while, we decided to put her trash can near the fridge so that the cleaning crew doesn't take one of ours.

    I had a SCSI zip drive because duh.

    I have one of those... I also got one of the usb zip drives. Those, and a dozen zip disks, are just gathering dust now... (probably still works, can't be bothered to check)

  • (disco)

    I had the parallel ZIP drive.....used to have an HP Pavilion with zero internet access, but my grandmother's computer did, so I'd fire up Napster at her house, put the songs on the ZIP drive, and listen to them at home.

    they should just imagine putting the can in the wrong place, too, and save us all the bother.

    Nah, that's no fun at all!

    because they sometimes forget to actually EMPTY the cans.

    I don't know why it annoys me, but it really does. Especially since every once in a while they'll start putting it under my desk again, so I'll put my chair there.

    If you have to PULL MY CHAIR OUT to put the trash can there, you should be able to figure out that you didn't get the can from there in the first place! Next up, I'll tether the gorram thing.

    Sure, if you wanna risk getting fired.

  • (disco) in reply to FrostCat

    What you do of course is contact the office facilities department and lodge a request with them that the cleaners are required (as a matter of common courtesy) to put the trash cans back where they were found. If your problem continues, then raise the specific issue as a point of sheer curiosity. Maybe the cleaner is just passive-aggressive.

  • (disco) in reply to Matt_Westwood

    I'll admit, it's an annoyance, but a minor one. I don't know what they'd be passive-aggressive over, unless it's just in general.

  • (disco) in reply to Matt_Westwood

    Don't get a minimum wage person in trouble because you have to move a trashcan 5 feet once a day. Sheesh. Hey, here's an alternative suggestion: how about you buy the cleaners a nice Christmas present? Because working minimum wage sucks.

    This whole forum's full of sociopaths.

    Recalibrate your shoulder aliens. I never said I was going to do that. As a matter of fact they've been doing this on and off for about 6 years now, and I haven't said anything to the maintenance people yet. I just gripe to my coworkers from time to time, which is how I discovered every once in a while they fail to empty a can, which is quite a bit worse.

    No, he's pretending to be stupid again and acting like I would actually try to get someone fired for something so trivial.

    I was just venting that someone could fail to maintain the state of mental acuity where they could remember where they picked the can up from 2 seconds earlier, let alone physically move my chair to put the can where I don't want it.

    Would YOU move someone's chair to put a can somewhere? I would think it is obvious it wasn't wanted there or it would have already BEEN there.

    He butted in to a conversation he was already a part of? @Matt_westwood would not have made the comments you replied to if not for the scenario that @frostcat first brought up. Your "private" conversation already included @frostcat.

    Also, if you want a private conversation, don't have in a public topic. That's what PRIVATE MESSAGES are for.

    From the lack of context and "Reply to" in your post, it is unclear who "you two" is referring to. Please clarify.

    Beats me. I'm not sure why she's calling you that this afternoon.

    Unless it's related to your video clip, which I haven't watched yet.

    Edit: skimmed it, was not enlightened. What movie is that from?

  • (disco) in reply to FrostCat

    Who's calling me what?

    It's from the Weather Man. Someone took the audio and Cage's face and put it over Spongebob for that YTMND (a site that you can find a description of through the Googles).

  • (disco) in reply to chubertdev

    I know about the YTMND--when you mentioned it a few posts above, I just type "tartarsauce.ytmnd.com" to see if anything was there. That didn't enlighten me as to why @accalia's calling you tartarsauce this afternoon.

    I was actually originally making a joke about how SpongeBob uses "tartar sauce" as a cuss word.
