It was a warm Spanish spring and Maya's tears evaporated almost immediately as they splashed on the hot asphalt that made up the empty streets of Madrid. She didn't know where she was running or what she was going to do, she just knew she couldn't be around Felipe a moment longer. It had started, as falling outs often do, with a discussion about money. Coro...
If you've ever had an Administrative Assistant that you had erotic thoughts about, you might be interested in this little, absolutely true, tale. My name is Alex and I was the on-site, office manager for a concrete supply firm for nine years. We provided ready-mix concrete for almost any size project. We'd done everything from small patios to office buildin...
(true story like the other one) I found out last night when I got to work at the convenience store that the floor people was coming tonight to strip and wax the floor. And I had an hour to move a few things into the office so they had more room to work. By the time they got to the store, the office was almost full to the top with very little room to mov...
I was slogging my way through grad school with no real goal in mind. Most of my friends were trying to line up internships for the summer or some form of "meaningful" employment. I was not so inclined. Instead I took a job as a bike messenger. OK, with the Internet and overnight delivery services this was a career headed for extinction. My job as a bike me...
office temp "Happy Birthday from all of us" said the card on the desk, small consolation when the stunning temp who had sat opposite for the last three weeks had left last Friday.

Having gone home, washed her face, and replaced her blouse, Kelly was now back at her father’s office block. She was slightly nervous, as she was an hour later than expected. She made herself a coffee and made her way into her father’s office. She sat down at his desk and began drinking her coffee, hoping that her father wouldn’t notice the new blouse. “Wha...
Setting: It has been the night of the office Christmas party. All the staff members have had a fantastic time and have enjoyed both the free drink and each other. After the party, Lesley, the office manager has persuaded a group of the girls to head back to the office for one last drink from a secret stash she has hidden away. A number of the girls agree and...
At the center of the Chicago Loop stood Ellis Oil Tower. It was 10 p.m. and a single light remained lit on the thirty-fourth floor—one of nineteen floors owned by Grant Hill Investments. Patrick Davis, wearing his round rimmed glasses, sat in his plush leather chair vigilantly monitoring stock tickers scrolling across the screen of his trusty, yet aged, IBM...
My wife filled in for a while as the cleaning woman at the office where I worked. The other cleaning woman was off sick for a short time and we could use the extra money. Every other day she would come in at closing time and start just after the doors were locked. The job itself was light dusting, taking out the garbage, vacuuming the floor. I usually stay...
To everyone else in the office we are nothing more feuding upper management. I don't like the way you go about business, bleeding hearts don't make for profits. You think I'm a "hard ass that need to lighten up." The office sees up bicker and fight. We had an argument in the break room today. We were arguing about how to handle some contracts. Since we both...
