This is where I work. The lady in white is my boss.
All women, no men. Need I say more?

Co-workers are an interesting group. Myself, I have worked in more than 10 different fields with an even greater number of employers in all my 45 years on this earth. Still, no matter what the place was there always seemed to be a similar cast of characters on each job.
There's the informant. You know, that person everyone is walking on eggshells around because they run to the boss to tattle. Otherwise known as the douche bag.
The clown, this would be JSP for example. Known for their pranks or legendary farting into megaphones.

The train wreck, always late, disheveled, messy and looking stressed. They can never find what they're looking for.
The party animal. This person comes in hungover on any given day of the week. Once they wake up they usually have a few good stories.
Then there's the dreaded ass kisser. This person often thinks they are a second boss. Best to just ignore their existence altogether.
Now there are a host of other characters that seem to be unique to each place. I think you all have a few of them in mind right now. I can sense your creative juices flowing.
Finally, we all have them, heck some of us have even been each others. So let it rip and don't hold back, you know you have something to say about your co-workers.

The luggage warehouse
There was a guy they called Goose

And then masturbate."

Hand motion translates
Looked forward each day
Clock out, go home, get inside
Beer, porn, happiness
Uh, that's awesome dude
Sounds like you have a full day
I'll be over here
I mean, like... me too!
Although without daily beer
But I don't tell you
We interrupt today’s competition with a closer look back at JPX’s disgust towards public pooping people. (I agree with him but sometimes you’ve just gotta go, ya know?)
From Pet Peeves:
Using bathroom spray
Won't disguise the shit you took
Please go before work
From Ranting:
Please don't shit at work
We have just one bathroom here
I don't need your stink
From Crap jobs:
Wouldn't plung toilets
Not for $4 an hour
clean up your own shit
From today:
Uni-sex bathroom
Who left the floating B.M.?
I don't want to know
And from Star Wars:
Death Star has toilets
Stormtroopers shouldn't poop there
It's the workplace, man
(Okay, I made that up.)
It could be worse here
Indoor office kickball game
Ceiling tiles gone
from Abandoned Houses:
JPX said...
Oh how I must poop
Oh thank God, an old toilet
Oops, you do not work
jeff's right, we worked with
alcoholics, borderlines
narcissists galore
come to think of it
a catalogue of assholes
*resume forgetting*
Narcissistic boss
wore tight shirts to show muscles
and his big nipples
I can't help myself
Poop is a funny topic
Never poop at work
AC and I met
Amidst a sea of crazies
We're still traumatized
Bonnie was in charge
At least she was in her mind
She was borderline
Cassandra was nuts
A severe anorexic
She ate bagel seeds
Tim was a schizoid
He never wore socks, not once
He married Bonnie
Weird Dr. Siegel
All files color-coded
He's OCPD
Amy was anxious
I mean anxious all the time
She has G.A.D.
Then there's Susan T.
Yep, she had a snaggletooth
Why would she keep it?
Jeanne was pretty
Pretty dumb if you ask me
Married a loser
Bruce just loved himself
He liked us to call him "Boo"
Total narcissist
Believe it or not
Just the tip of the iceberg
There are many more
fun coworker names
"george bush" and "liz lemon" both
have worked in my lab
jeff, former colleague,
is retraumatizing me
haiku hiatus please!
Damn karma police
Just got back from the restroom
The stench made me cringe
i'm so damn polite
i added a syllable
retract the "please," please
Dry cleaning/laundry
factory. Combined worker
I.Q? Thirty. Tops.
I'm not elitist.
But my best conversations
were with the Mangler.
Boss plugs in speakers
Really don't care for New Age
While I'm Facebooking
You'd think we'd bond
Coworkers in rain, at night
Nope, still hate 'em all
Key West hostess job,
Dealing with "career waiters."
Snotty, stuck-up queens.
They were just jealous.
At the end of the night, who
went home with desroc?
Although I will say,
a good number of those boys
gave great fashion tips.
More JPX Poop haikus:
Video Games -
Pac-Man poops at work
In which corner of the maze?
I will not go there
Lord Of The Rings -
Balrog poops on fire
Woe be to that cave troll orc
On cleanup duty
The Matrix:
The red or blue pill
They both make you poop. One here.
One in the Matrix
Hospitality
workers are mostly crazy.
Plus we drink a lot.
Boss had coffee cup
filled all day. Coffee? Try es-
presso martinis.
Found one girl asleep
on bags of ancient towels.
She still kept her job.
Did manage to can
the one we found stealing cards
from wedding couples.
I think whoever wins needs to make "JPX Pooping Haikus" the topic for next week, with the subject matter being any topic we've ever haiku'd about, and JPX's take on that subject, specifically as it relates to poop.
It could be like the Greatest Hits Album of HHD, or the Clip Show version of HHD. Think about it! Revisit the best topics with a fresh, poopy angle. Just sayin'.....I'll use it one day if I'm stuck for a topic idea, but it's just a suggestion.
I didn't have the energy to cram all that into 17 syllables, sorry.
Waited two hours
For actress to stop crying
Reason? No talent.
(there's an elaboration required, but thats essentially what it boiled down to)
Starscream dilemma:
Literally FIRE the boss
But he's still in charge
It is getting late
But I must tell you this tale
The office "shitter"
We're on the 10th floor
9th floor is the Holy Land
If you've gotta "go"
14 days ago
Something horrible happened
Poop in the hallway
Shit stains led the way
Crime scene: the ladies bathroom
Suffocating stench
I am on the case
As is my trusty sidekick
We will solve this crime
Got a few suspects
Burrito enthusiasts
I'll keep you posted
