Get ready to laugh
Ok, it's always a good way to start the day if you can laugh at someone else's misfortune. Here's the deal:
I'm a Cingular agent, in my store we have a strict dress code (stricter than Cingy's) including wearing a tie at all times, polishable leather shoes and long sleeve shirts. It's so strict as to mention that sleeves cannot be rolled up more than two folds. I'm not fond of this code as I tend to be a jeans and t-shirt guy who wears sandals (Rainbow's are the most comfy shoe in the world) a lot. That being said, I drove 45 min. to get to work this morning only to find that I forgot to grab my leather shoes when I left the house. I'm the only one in the store ALL day so goin home to get them's out of the question.
Here I am, wit...

Yeah, I called my girlfriend to see if I had left any shoes in her dorm room....after she stopped laughing she told me to tell anyone who asks that I have some sort of painful foot condition that requires me to wear non-restricting shoes.
🤣
🤣
...
Smart girl! I bet she came up with that one real quick! 🤣 We are always thinking! 😁
...
Lmao that would work. Our dress code isnt that bad, I can wear my jeans and my tennis shoes, but I work in a call center so the customers dont see me.
...
Ours wasn't when cingular first took over. They have changed it since for us...hehe we were too used to the way things used to be I guess. Im not sure on all call center dress codes.
...
At our center we have to pay to wear jeans, other than that it's business casual...khakis, polo shirts...no tshirts/jeans/tennis shoes...you get caught wearing jeans without the little sticker they send you home for the day un-excused w/ an occurence.
to bad they don't catch us all 😈

...
Ok...I so would hate to work where you do. It took forever for us to get them to let us were tennis shoes again. Id cry if I worked where you do and had to wear "business casual" shoes. They are horrible.
...
We pay $20 a month to wear jeans at our call center, no tennis shoes though and it is to raise funds for pur christmas party 😕
...
Man that sucks. I dont remember them having a Christmas party this past Christmas. I may be wrong though I dont know.

Shayby said:Well, as I said in my previous post...people mainly get drunk and do stupid stuff like copy an extremity on the company Xerox, so it's not like your missing anything. Except the alcohol.

Shayby said:Here's my view on that: If you're old enough to be drilled by intelligence impaired, mindless imcompetents all day...you're old enough to get your swerv on at the company party.
You have to be 21 to drink the alcohol 🙄

Nooo . . . you have to be 21 to LEGALLY drink alcohol. 😁

Yeah, and everybody gets drunk and ends up smooching with totally inappropriate people or tells that hilarious joke that offends everybody in range, and somebody else does their spot on impression of the boss without noticing that said boss is in the audience... ah yes, good times, good times indeed...
I never go to xmas parties--coopted pagan holidays give me the pip... ...

BBC or Amurrican?

Aleq said:There were two 6 part series on BBC with a holiday special. Absolute best sitcom ever. As for the Amurrican version...I dunno about that one. It doesn't look even remotely funny.
I'll let it slide just this once, but don't let it happen again!

It's got that guy from the Daily Show in it, which is promising, but I have a problem with the endless remaking of perfectly good BBC shows to pander to American provincialism... Next thing up will probably be "Wire In The Blood" starring Jake Busey as the profiler or someone equally lame...
Don't get me started on the American version of "Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy," 'cuz that sh!t is just wrong ...

No kidding--I'd make a GREAT sarcastic robot! 😎

call center I used to work at, they had you pay a buck a day to wear shorts in the summer. Monies went to United Way. I'm trying to suggest that here at Cingular... 😛
...
What company is that through? I used work for the SBC department of a company that also did Cingular customer care and we had the EXACT same policy! (Now I'm in sales, so its business formal all the way).

Hey ralph,
We don't have a counter. The store's too small. Not to mention I'm alone 😢 all day so I don't get to be the quiet one who sits at the desk and works all day.
