Work Rant... #1

[rant]
Main Guy is now known as "0 (Zero) EQ".

0EQ has major issues. Both emotionally and probably mentally. He's the type of guy that wants control over everything, does more than he needs to, and sticks his nose whereever it fits and even when it doesn't, he forces it in. Got a good picture?

Today was another good example of 0EQ at his finest. Rude Guy went over to the other branch today since they needed help there. More on Rude Guy later. So it was only me and 0EQ and luckily it wasn't insanely busy today. Holy shiet, he's LOUD. Ok, that was already mentioned before in the past but... WOW, LOUD. SOMEONE, MAKE HIM WEAR A GAUZE OR A BIKER HELMET. Well, with one loud man (Rude Guy) gone, 0EQ makes up for Rude Guy's absence by turning up his volume! LOUD MAN! SHUT THE FUK UP!

After observing 0EQ the past month, I've noticed one too many annoyances. Wait, I don't even know where I should start... Well, he's a bad liar. That's not a rant but... *shifts eyes* gossip is good... so let me be!@!!! This one time the boss had a BBQ at his place and he said (with a very short but noticable hesitation) that he had to have dinner with his parents. The next day, the boss asked him again why he didn't show up and again (with a very short but noticable hestitation) that he had dinner with his uncle. And both times, he wasn't looking at the boss when he spoke. Hoho asshole! Ahem..

Did I mention the boss likes social gatherings? I've yet to go to one of them though. Oh, the boss is weird too.. maybe I'll go into detail about him some other time.

As soon as Rude Guy isn't around, 0EQ immediately takes over the front desk operations (HEY that's MY JOB! SHARE THE WEALTH HEY?)... And honestly, both Rude Guy and 0EQ aren't cut for customer service related jobs (or any other customer interaction-like). They're.... rude. SO. Rude. It's amazing how they were able to keep doing this for so many years and yet still have customers coming back. Well it's slightly different for Rude Guy but I'm leaving him for another day.

There's so much I can get into but I'll be brief from here on:

I've mentioned this before and I have to mention it again... Big, Complicated English Words & Phrases. One who does not know how to use them properly should NOT USE THEM GAWDDAMMIT. He does not realize the way he says it actually makes him seem more stupid than intelligent. But I must admit, it's quite amusing at times. How he gives directions to our location via phone: "Keep on straight go forward." A sarcastic remark: "A bit too enthusiasm, I would say." (and he says this twice). The correct phrase should be 'that's not surprising': "I'm not surprising! [insert laugh]" Hahah, now you see how bored I am sometimes at work. If it's amusing enough to keep me grinning, I write it down. So there's probably more to come in the future... fufufufu~ Look out for my Engrish Phrase of the Week 'er something. ;D

Damn. He's arrogant. He thinks he knows (by bragging lots), but he doesn't (gets proven wrong and just shrugs it off). o_o He tries to be funny but he's not. Tries to joke with the customers but they're not laughing. His misuse of English might be half of the reason. Well yeah, it can't be funny if it doesn't make any sense to begin with right.

Oh.. that reminds me. A few moments of bursting volcanos.....

I was talking with this lady on the phone who had trouble speaking in English and I felt bad not being able to help her so I asked her what other languages she was able to speak. She said Mandarin and since 0EQ was the only other guy around, I asked him to help me speak with the lady in Mandarin. He picks up and speaks English. WTF. Then I try and tell him she can't really understand English and she preferred Mandarin but WTF he kinda half nods at me with the 'yeah I got it covered already' and speaks nothing but English throughout the whole conversation and at the end, having to hang her up because of his shit temper. Bitch, I forwarded the phone to you because I wanted you to speak to her in Mandarin! If it's English, I can do that just perfectly fine without your damn help which at the end wasn't even helpful at all! *shake fist*

Another bursting volcano moment. I received something for the Accountant Lady (now known as BOBO -- will explain another day) and I asked if it was for her, he gives a half 'yea' which wasn't really a full yeah he kinda just made a noise. I was going to get up and pass it on to her, but he just takes out of my hand, goes to his own desk, puts it down and starts surfing on his fugly computer. HEY MAN, I was going to give it to her! Well that wasn't all that anger-worthy, but his half-nods/half-yea's are ムカー annoying as fuck. It's full of his snotty 'I got everything covered, but I'm not very good at covering everything'.

Yeah and about that 'I got everything covered, but I'm not very good at covering everything.' He likes to be in charge of everything. But due to his short temper and lack of patience... it kinda.. screws him over. So in a sense, it's not exactly his fault he's born like that but gee, since we gotta work in the same office, you kinda have to see him get screwed over on a daily semi-hourly basis. Since he's a guy that wants/has to know everything, he's also an evesdropper. This one time, a customer asked him something over the phone that was unrelated to him and he told the customer: 'I am not in charge of this blahblahblah, but I heard them [the higher ups in charge] blahblahblah and I know what's going on so...' and he spills the info. Hahaha.. "That's just evesdropping," is the first thing that came to mind when I heard him say that and I smirked. Damn that guy's messed.

When he's mad, he starts sending his angry vibes at everyone and gives off bad attitude. In cases like these, he continues to add onto his own stress by doing more than he has to do. Hey hey don't forget me~ That's why I'm here! But everyone knows about it and this one time, the Boss told me to tell him everytime he's angry: "Parking Lot. Go run a few laps." LOL! Too bad 0EQ was in a bad mood then; he didn't like the joke.

He also messed up this one time with the customer... he did this one task half-assedly and the customer got mad the next day. I was the one who picked up first and she demanded to talk to the guy she talked with the day before. Since we had more than one guy (Rude Guy, 0EQ and Nice Guy) I asked her for as much detail about the person as possible. And the BEST, most AMUSING description was "High-Pitched." OMG, I immediately knew it was 0EQ (Rude Guy is low and Nice Guy wasn't in charge with what we do) but I didn't wanna point it out immediately. I don't remember what happened right after, but the next thing you know, Rude Guy was on the phone with her and he asked her the same question as to whom the guy she was talking to was like. Soon enough, 0EQ realizes it was his fault and gets all pissy pissy everywhere and does his typical temper/whiny thing. Wooow, and Rude Guy gets mad at 0EQ and literally yells at him for being all pissy at his own wrong doing. Quite a sight. Like a dad yelling at his son...

Hmm, come to think of it... that's kinda bad.
