Weirdude Begins

There's this guy in the office who always gets picked on, his name is Weirdude. He is this really, really weird guy who smells funky and who acts like he's a fucking retard. Mind you, people here in Porn Wonderland do not make a habit of alienating a person unless there's a reason behind it, in this case, Weirdude made a pass on some guy way before we got employed. Did I mention he's queer? Anyways, the moment he made a pass to this guy was the moment he kissed his peace and solitude good-bye.


I have nothing against this guy, in fact, I am the only person in the office who does not make fun of him. As much as these people have reasons to single out this guy, I pity him. I guess you could say, I used to know what he feels back in grade school when I was being bullied by two girls. Fucking cunts. I swear to God, if I ever saw any of those two bitches again, I will make them remember me.

But I digress. So yes, I pity him because personally, to me he strikes me as the kind of guy who looks for love in all the wrong places. He wears the same clothes for a couple of days without cleaning 'em, he smells like the bat cave a damp cave full of bat shit, he never flushes the toilet and he spends most of his time frequenting gay porn sites and gay forums.

So what bone do I have to pick with this dude? The fact that he'd rather flirt with random dudes than to actually spend his time in the office working. Granted, I myself have the habit to surf the net every now and then. However, I make sure all my work and my raket are done before I do anything else. It's a matter of setting your priorities straight.



In the three years that I've spent on the rat race, I can say that I've never known anyone who's as incompetent and as unprofessional as this guy and that's saying a lot since I used to work for ABS-CBN. It's appalling to think that this guy is getting paid 20 grand just to write short articles composed of nothing but grammatically-incorrect gibberish and using the office's resources to hook up with homos.

There was a confrontation between Weirdude and I, it was last week. I saw it coming the minute I checked his "work" or lack thereof  via FTP. We reported this guy to our PM a little over two weeks ago but so far, he was never apprehended. We took matters to our own hands for the sake of fairness. The plan was, I'll talk to him first and I would report the problem to our supervisor if he still showed no improvement. The conversation we had is quite interesting. I took the liberty of recording our conversation so that if push comes to shove, I have valid evidence of his douchebaggery. The convo goes something like this:

Tina: Hey Weirdude

Weirdude: Yeah

Tina: We're both doing Redo, right? I wanna ask you something.

Weirdude: Yeah

Tina: How come you're only doing about 3 or 4 descriptions? (Note: The rest of the team are doing 12 descriptions each, everyday)

Weirdude: Yeah but the descriptions are longer and there are three keywords each.

Tina: Yeah I checked but there are times that a couple of my work are just as long too and I think it's actually not good to drown descriptions with three or more KW nahahalata na fake ang descriptions that way, two will do.

Weirdude: Don't know, we have our styles.

Tina: Hmmm... kasi I might have a talk to Sir S. about this not your work, but work in general.

Weirdude: Ok... whats your problem?

Tina: There shouldn't be a problem if you're to do the same number of descriptions that the rest of the team are doing, right?

Weirdude: Yeah I know better . It's just descriptions. My advice is this, better just do as they please. Or else we run out of work. And then what do we do? Do u get my point?

Tina: Well thing is, there are a lot of videos on redo to work on so I don't think we'll run out of work and also, just as long as we are doing our work I don't think we'll have to worry about anything right?

Weirdude: Ok I already talk about that with him. This is what he said: ok communicate with each other as to the division of work so that there would be no duplications. So the best things for us is to work out which categories belong to the two of us. Work division.

Tina: Hmmmm... you know that the descriptions are actually written off as comments, right?

Weirdude: Yeah

Tina: That meant its actually okay for duplications because it's posted as a comment, just my two cents

Weirdude: What cents? Sentiments?

Tina: :- | It meant two cents is In MY Opinion

Weirdude: Whats that ?

Tina: You don't know what two cents means?  I hope I don't sound condescending and all if, I do, misunderstanding lang but is there any chance for you to make more descriptions

(No response from Weirdude for 5 minutes)

Tina: Okay then nice chatting with you.

As you can plainly see, Weirdude does not have any plans on improving his shitty work at all and he was even DEFENDING his incompetence. Gasp! Now, I really, really hate to confront this person simply because I hate having to put up with anyone's bull. Well, that and I really feel sorry for him. However, there's some things that should not be tolerated at all. We had no choice but to talk to our supervisor about this issue and a day later, Justice.
