Gump Posted September 18, 2014 Share #1 Posted September 18, 2014 Seems the last supervisor there was pretty lax with the staff. They keep trying to set low expectations so hey can F off all day. I'll have that place ship shape in a month. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Indy Posted September 19, 2014 Share #6 Posted September 19, 2014 Adirondacks to Detroit?! I'll say! I thought everyone was trying to get the hell out of Detroit, not move there. The only people left are the ones to poor to move. And Michigan taxes are great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Road Runner Posted September 19, 2014 Share #7 Posted September 19, 2014 I thought you were like a forest ranger or something. If that's right, I'm surprised a Detroit office even exists. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's how many people have left the place. The "urban jungle" has really turned into a jungle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thaddeus Kosciuszko Posted September 19, 2014 Share #11 Posted September 19, 2014 Seems the last supervisor there was pretty lax with the staff.

Based on my experiences with such offices, I would suggest you take a note from your signature line and give yourself an extra month. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't you spend most of the day making sure bears don't steal picnic baskets? I don't know if you can get any easier than that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Parr8hed Posted September 19, 2014 Share #15 Posted September 19, 2014 Apparently I suck at parody threads, or maybe it's you guys. Ok, so this is not really what I would consider a parroty thread. Parroty threads tend to have the same title with a slightly misspelled or replaced word. This would be what I would call a continuation or a "spin off" thread. One of my fav styles of thread humor. It would be like if I am complaining that my wife is sleeping with some dude. Then someone else started a thread about sleeping with some new chick making everyone think it's my wife. It was actually a pretty decent attempt. The problem is that you have to pick a thread and poster to start with that has a lot of traffic. You have to pick a poster that attracts attention so everyone knows what you are up to or it's not funny. You sure as hell can't pick a Mr Silly thread. Nobody reads those.

Road Runner Posted September 19, 2014 Share #19 Posted September 19, 2014 I never read MR Silly's post, so it went right over my head. It's pretty good, but the whole idea of you moving to Detroit is so outlandish that it detracts from the joke, even if I had read the other thread. If you had some job in sales or something, it would have been a lot more believable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
