Day 97 of visiting 100 blogs in 100 days...



Yup, there no better way to to close out the work week than to shut the door and get ready for the weekend!

On Day 97 of visiting 100 blogs in 100 days... Office Pirates is a collection of all things wrong with the office; sophomoric, dumb, teeth grinding, yet sad but true documentation of what happens in the real world. Yes, Dilbert is fleshed out in any building, anywhere within a short walking distance of your home.

Jokes, videos, photos, what's for lunch (fridge thievery)... it's all here.

As mention earlier in the Wisdom for Grads posting, if work is that horrible, then this blog/webzine will help you find some amusing self-destructive habits to help ease your internal anguish.

As a bonus here are so trust-me-it's-really-true-office-legends-for you (or better yet, your office buddy) to try out!

Did you know that:

The back of a sticky note tastes like 7-Up.

If you hold the F9 key while pressing the space bar, your computer will turn into a mirror.

It's impossible to burn a manila folder.

There is a distinct pattern created by the tiny dents, dots and nooks of all ceiling tiles. If you look up at just the right angle, you will see the number eight.

If you dial extension 55*66*77 on most office telephone systems, your voice will broadcast over the company Fire Safety system.

If your pen dries out, place it in the microwave for 30 seconds, on medium.

Wearing a rubber band around your wrist will perk you up faster than if you drank two cups of coffee.

It is impossible to flush a new, unsharpened pencil down the toilet.

If a fluorescent light bulb is flickering, spray it with water to bring it back to life.

The serrated edge of a tape dispenser can cut glass.

Dry erase boards are covered in a thin film of flammable oil. If you hold a lighter to it, a blue flame will jet across the board for a split second.

Frozen glass cannot be broken.

If you rub a paper clip over a telephone receiver 500 times, and hold up it up to your ear, you will hear the dial tone of the phone.

Wite-Out can also be used as hand soap.

It's impossible to recite the days of the week backward, starting with Thursday.
