Office Ettiquette ...

[Digital Prophet]

So, if you co-workers bring thier children to the office it is wrong to threaten to beat them?

I mean minors at the office are considered company property, aren't they? Speaking in terms of human resource lingo, of course.

I was just wondering b/c Pika is looking for a stick to hammer his nail into. He always carries a nail. Don't ask.

Prophet out.

[srwatters]

Boys may be beaten. Girls are given just enough rope to hang themselves.

And tell Pika to keep his furry little head out from under their dresses.

[gardener]

As far as I'm concerned, children at the office should be considered both corporate AND community property but their parents should be beaten severely for even bringing the screeching little buggers and foisting them upon the rest of us for some undetermined time period.
No, I don't want to see them and I certainly don't want to hear them. If I really wanted loud, messy, obnoxious children around, I'd go back home and invite the five grandbrats over...

so let me make sure I understand....the parents are too cheap to pay for daycare, or can't find anyone they know to watch them or don't want to "waste" vacation time by staying home with them???

tell Pika to get an extra nail for the parents

It's worse than that some companies and institutions actively promote the idea by having "Bring your infectious barbaric rug rat" into the work place day.

Now don't get me wrong. I don't have anything against children, per se. I mean if you want to have them, ok with me. But if people are allowed to bring thier kids then I should be allowed to bring my horse.

I'm just saying.

What are you guys talking about? My son just fixed the VCR in the break room finally, and my daughter is drawing a lovely mural on the white board in the confrence room.

Most days I would rather deal with kids them some of the douche bag adults we have here at work.

That said, yeah you can beat the kids as long as there at your place of employment.

[Daniel Bates]

I say go for it--and if Pika's still looking for a stick, I bet I could find him one.

[JamesB]

just make sure they get the new cover sheet on the TPS reports before Pika begins his handy work

You can bring your horse as long as I can bring my chicken. Hey she might even lay your breakfast for you.

ROFL! Why dont I DOUBT That mr Big Boss Man?!?!?! hehehe

Its painful for people to thrust their little rug rats onto their co-workers when their co workers have decided they do NOT want kids. Dont get me wrong I LOVE Kids! they are great! as long as they belong to someone else! I will spoil a kid rotten and then send them HOME to mom and dad. its their pain for 18 years, not mine! hehehe
