Another Real Life vs. Diety post. At work, we're going through a pretty intense software change. Everyone is on edge. I yelled at someone, perferating the word again with my favorite explitive.... Its bad. So we have god-fearing women, holy rollers, and church goers here, who say things like, "imma pray this part goes smoothly." and "for some god-forsaken reason, this isnt printing!" . . So i respond like, "this is what youre praying for? You're stopping jesus from turning water to wine to ensure you can run a general ledger without a hiccup?" and, "god-forsaken? You think god turned away from you because he didnt configure your printer?" ... They think i'm joking and i am probably not being literal enough for them to understand if i can't blame an imaginary friend for spewing out profane language that appears to insult my co-workers, how is it okay to blame their imaginary friend for having a lack of diligence in retaining training??
"for some god-forsaken reason, this isnt printing!"
Why would god not want us to print? Mysterious fur shur.
the word forsaken is defined as abandoned. so it's not that their imaginary friend doesn't want them to print; it's a question of abandonment when they need an omniscient to work a printer???? same person, by the way, just emerged from her office to ask if i gave her a list of 'the issues with all my stuff. when i responded, 'can you define your nouns before using pronouns?' she said, 'the exceptions in your data for the software conversion.' there you go. teaching grown-ups is hard.
Try; Maybe if god read the training manual, he’d do a better job getting things to work! Or; Maybe god isn’t happy with your church donations this week! Chances are,regardless of what you say, they are not going to stop believing that their god has nothing better to do than prank them while babies die, women are tortured and floods kill hundreds of people..
Prank them while babies die! ??
Try switching to being obscene without using obscenities just to switch things up a bit. For example, calling a co-worker a 'gaping fisted anal cavern' does not involve any actual swearing.
They didnt like it when i clled them cunts , even when i rescinded the label citing they were neither warm nor accomodating.
Just wait til Jesus smites the toner cartridge!?
