Meme cleverly disguised to find out who the cat lovers are

bursts in through the closed door

"Oh my God, OP, you're not going to believe this: THE DOG REVOLUTION SET THE BUILDING ON FIRE AFTER BRINGING COFFEE!"

[–] meliaesc@lemmy.world 17 points 1 day ago

Mhmm, mhmm. Knock first.

One of the best things about my job is that our clinic's offices share a hallway with the hospital's charitable organization, and they have two golden lab "therapy dogs".

A lot of the clinicians keep dog treats in our offices and once or twice a day the doggos will politely paw at people's doors for treats and pets time. They are by far my favorite co-workers.

[–] Empricorn@feddit.nl 31 points 2 days ago

Once or twice a day!? Why the hell am I doing this job??

[–] CosmicTurtle0@lemmy.dbzer0.com 22 points 2 days ago

I worked at a hospital that has therapy dogs. There was a code you could call for the dogs. I can't remember it now. It was like "Dr. Rover is needed in room 12” or something like that.

The cutest thing is that the dog has a badge.

I used to work for a private air cargo company and at the time they were renting space from a private jet operator. The owners daughter worked out of the second floor office and brought her mixed breed dog with her everyday. The highlight of our day was when Olive would come down for a bathroom break or a walk and would stop by our office for pets and the "secret" treat. I don't miss the job, but I do miss the Olive.

But at least now I mostly work from home so I get to spend every night with my golden snoring like a lumberjack behind me. She's become so well known that during some meetings I'm asked to switch from the headset to speakers so they can say hello to her.

So they're training dogs to trick-or-treat?

[–] TranscendentalEmpire@lemm.ee 15 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Tbh, not a lot of training required. They are really treat/love motivated.

Dissertation? This grad student has his own personal office? With a door? I wasn't even issued a chair. I had to get my own.

As for dogs: when I was in grad school, one of the professors had a dog that sat quietly next to his desk all day, at least as far as the professor knew. When he went to the bathroom, his dog would run into the hall and play with people, but the dog was listening for his footsteps and was always back in his office in time. This didn't last long because the department head didn't like dogs and complained :(

I'm doing my PhD in Germany, everyone here is employed with salary and has a 1-3 people office. At least in computer science.

[–] ArbitraryValue@sh.itjust.works 7 points 2 days ago (3 children)

I did a science PhD so I also got paid, enough to live modestly but comfortably. I shared an office with four other people but it was a big office. The incident with the chair probably had more to do with the struggle between the professors and the university to avoid paying for things like that than it did with an absolute lack of funds.

When I started my phd (in a different country, during late covid times) my only collegue who would have sat in my room always worked from home. It wasn't very fun at all. Well, very few people came to the office anyways, so I just had to try and figure out everything by myself, eat lunch alone, etc. etc.

I am so much happier now in a 4 person room where I have 1-3 collegues to talk to depending on the day.

[–] ArbitraryValue@sh.itjust.works 4 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

Having a private office would be a nice symbol of status but I don't think I'd actually enjoy working in one - in grad school, I was really happy in my shared office since the other guys there were my friends. I graduated a year after them and that last year was not fun. Of course new people took their spots but those people were strangers to me.

"personal office" i bet $5 that it's their dorm room

I have an office at my university but we had to apply for it and only get it for two years. It’s pretty nice, maybe 7x7 with a desk, chair, and bookshelves.

Urgent doggies in office updaters rejoicing

[–] slingstone@lemmy.world 25 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Dog should be top priority.

[–] AgentOrangesicle@lemmy.world 10 points 1 day ago (1 children)

You know when there's a dog in the office they just write off the whole day as a productivity loss.

[–] FordBeeblebrox@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago

If you have a dog that hangs out at the office all the time, everyone gets a +1 mood bonus when they clock in

“The building or someone is on fire”

When I was working in property management, certain people would frequently call me in the middle of the night for what they considered emergencies. They’d wake me up because a stove burner wouldn’t heat, or a lightbulb was out, or they just remembered that a door creaks. This shit got old real fast, so I began training the night callers that “emergency means Fire, Flood, or Death”.

One man was unfazed by my Fire, Flood, or Death mantra, so every time I saw his number ring in, I just shouted into the phone FIRE FLOOD OR DEATH? FIRE FLOOD OR DEATH?!

[–] vaccinationviablowdart@lemmy.ca 0 points 18 hours ago (1 children)

woooow its so crazy that people expect their homes that they are paying so much rent for to be functional ALL THE TIME

[–] milicent_bystandr@lemm.ee 2 points 14 hours ago

The door creaks! It's 2am! Quick! Wake the property manager up, he must know now!

[–] CooperRedArmyDog@lemmy.ml 10 points 2 days ago

I just wanted to inform you that there is a revoition, and its leader is a dog, I thought you would like to know.

Also I would like to point you you have missed a few emergencies, like a tornado tore the roof off.

[–] Aviandelight@mander.xyz 5 points 1 day ago

When my husband and I started dating he was a property manager of an apartment complex. Coincidentally they fired him within a month after I moved in since he was getting an apartment as part of his salary. As we were moving out of that shithole we still had people walking into our empty apartment after us both yelling at us that such and such needed to be fixed. Completely wild.

Oh man I want one of these so bad and I work from home.

[–] booly@sh.itjust.works 23 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I want one of these so bad

When you say "these," you're talking about a revolution, right?

[–] FordBeeblebrox@lemmy.world 4 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Yup. Guillotines are a great DIY project to teach the children about woodworking and justice.

Nobody ever brings kittens to the office

[–] mdd@lemm.ee 10 points 1 day ago (1 children)

My veterinarian had an office cat. It would come into the waiting room and sit on my cat's carrier to exert dominance.

[–] SpaceNoodle@lemmy.world 6 points 1 day ago

I remember my old vet back up north about 25 years ago had a MASSIVE leopard-looking cat in their office.

[–] Zorsith@lemmy.blahaj.zone 9 points 2 days ago

I have in fact been to an optometrists office that had office kittens.

[–] PunnyName@lemmy.world 8 points 2 days ago

And that makes me sad.

On the list of exceptions, they forgot Cake.
