JERKS!

[Kristine_ES]

"JERKS!" I holler from behind my cubicle wall. It's become the battle cry where I work--a joke amongst people who get it-- to holler out that word when we come across the stupid, the ridiculous, the unfathomable; a way to cope with whatever we face and cannot control.  Yes, it could be an email from the boss, a lame question from the sales team, or another customer service rep that juussst doan getit... JERKS! we holler and hope nobody hears us (but secretly we do, and we giggle).

 

Posting "JERKS!" on Facebook as a status update doesn't work, nor does it work on a writing web page because everyone looks up from their Serengeti watering hole to wonder "what the frick was THAT all about?"

 

So when I holler "JERKS!" Tourette's like, from out of nowhere, it's usually a reaction to some politically incorrect left right extremist product of a shrinked up brain, or quite possibly because of my boss, co-worker or some policy, procedure or law that strikes me as completely unfair and STUPID.  

 

Signing off, fist raised in the air but hope maintained in the heart.

jamie, say it as often as you need, the effect never wears off   *OOO-RA!*

Cubicle humor -- gotta love it. Thanks for the smile.

I could use this. Is there like a quota? How many times per day can I use it before it becomes ineffective?

So that's what I hear when I visit the Newburgh area. Nice.

wish you could be there to see it.

la la la la...everybody's on the phone or tickety tickety typing away and one of us hollers out JERKS! and the three of us who know what it means just snicker, hoarsely like scooby doo, and wipe away the tears of... coping...  ;)
