Subject: human zoo:
I was just wondering.You ever have a human zoo at your workplace? It's just crazy where I attend every single day.I compare the co-workers to animals such as:
-Laughing Hyenas(co-workers who have uncontrollable laughter) ;D
-Chimpanzees(those who tend to be a bit antsy)
-Elephants(the overweight people) ;D
-Giraffes(the very tall people)
-Gorillas( those co-workers who tend to be a little bit goofy)
-Lions(co-workers who tend to hoard things and pretend they're king of the jungle or something) ;D
Ok,that's my comparison.How about yours? -howard-
Subject: Re: human zoo:
That's funny Howard. :D I'll have to think about my last job and make some comparisons.
Subject: Re: human zoo:
I've worked with some people who could be compared to venomous snakes in the past. :-/
And more than a few peacocks, strutting their stuff, and preening their feathers.
Several dirty rats.
And there's always at least one donkey!

...you been reading Dilbert, recently?
Though the gastropod section is missing from the zoo:
Snails - not the world's fastest workers
Slugs - less said the better, we've all crossed their slime-paths at some time or other

Scott Adams' latest book is "Dilbert and the way of the Weasel"... don't know if it'll let me post a link to one of the strips, but:

PS. Not forgetting the platypuses - odd looking types who drop the occasional egg just when you least expect it ;-)
Subject: Re: human zoo:
My office would be more like a petting zoo or pet shop or something like that. We have:
The rooster (the only male in the department)
The hens (four older women who are always cackling about something)
The goat (always eating something).
The cat (mostly laid back, but sometimes moody)
The Poodle (always primping and preening)
The bunny (mild, meek, liked by everyone)
The rat terrier (obstinate)
The sheep (always goes along with the majority, never leads)
The Llama (the protector, keeps the coyotes away, likes the herd to stick together)
The sheep dog (keeps everything in line, the organizer).
Subject: Re: human zoo:
How about the "cats in heat" looking for husbands.
And there's always at least one "female dog" in the bunch.

Are you talking about the ones who go to the bathroom a lot? I've had to deal with those...far be it for me to restrict a grown person's bathroom privileges :)
Subject: Re: human zoo:
and there is this one person,don't know this co-worker at all but he looks sort of like an animal.This morning I saw his hairy butt crack. :o this co-worker wears no belt,nor does he wear any underpants? Who the hell knows! His butt crack is the most horrifying I've ever seen. :o :D He'd be compared to a fat,lazy gorilla. ;D
Subject: Re: human zoo:
You often bring a smile to my face, Howard, but never before such a good laugh.
