IM at work

So a co-worker of mine recently got fired for calling a fellow co-worker a, "dirty whore" on IM. In his defense, he meant to IM someone else, but accidentally sent the message to the person he was talking about. I'd also like to add that this alleged "dirty whore" is pretty annoying but until my company finds a way to prove who is and isn't a whore, it shall be construed as sexual harassment.

The most annoying part was the emergency department meeting where we were told, "the good news you have rules to protect you...the bad news is, you have rules that protect you..." They should have just said, "Don't call people at work a dirty whore, especially over IM."

In honor of this special entry, I have dug up a few convos of my own, thank you "message archive!" Enjoy...

Steve: I was a well rounded individual, and look at me now.
Al: i know dude. you're at Ernst and Young, traveling the world, have a sweet BMW, congrats!
Steve: You didn't get one of those right. I work at Price Waterhouse Cooper, I only travel domestically, and I drive a Toyota Camry.

Julie: Comcast online said they could install this friday..but they can't verify serviceability and the manager is just like, yeah well we called them and were told they can't come till the 1st.
Al: that sucks
Julie: Yea seriously, I have shit i need to do online.
Julie: i'm a stupid
Julie: dammit
Julie: i'm a student i mean
Julie: not a stupid
Julie: SHUT UP i know you're laughing

Shirley: Then he was like, "call me this weekend" and I was like OMG NO YOU DIN'T shanaynay hip twist. I was straight up like WHY, WHAT IS THE POINT.
Al: Okay, first of all never do: shanaynay hip twist EVER.
Shirley: WOOT WOOT!! shirliu in da HOUSE! shanaynay hip twist to the left...to the left...to the right...to the right...said tooooootsie roll!
Al: Second of all, why are you suddenly a black person? or to be more PC, "an urban person."
Shirley: I always was, check out the bootay.

My job requires me to work with international sites, where English isn't necessarily the primary language (I know, I'm disgusted too). I got this e-mail recently, I'm not sure exactly what he was trying to say, but it totally made my day. Perhaps I have finally found my international lover.
