My co-worker has a trash mouth. It's embarrassing, but I don't really notice it much anymore after working her for 8+ years. The following is a conversation that she (yes, I said SHE) had with herself between 2:00pm and 2:05pm today. She talks to herself LOUDLY when she works. She was swearing so much today that I started writing everything down that she said - just for kicks. The following is a 5-minute example of what I listen to for 8 hours per day...

Man, that's bad. I would expect most companies to fire anyone using language like that at work. In my experience with abusive language at work, one gets a verbal warning, a written warning, and the next offense they escort you to the door. :curses: :Idunno:

She's fascinating. Extremely intelligent, but so 'rough' at the same time.

You got it, Mike....UGNX 7.5 :lol: That's what we work on.

Hehe, I figured that. I recalled you worked with NX. I'm a Mastercam whore. I used NX when it used to be UG, quite a few years ago :)

I used to work on Ideas till it got bought....

That would be lame to fire someone for cussin' - who cares.

You think that is bad, I had a co-worker give his boss the finger in front of ten other people. He didn't get a warning written, verbal or otherwise. Business as usual. People need to lighten up.

Better to vent than to hold it in and explode later....

Yea, the bosses at my work know that she knows her shit, so they let her run her mouth...it just gets depressing after a while.

Don't read my last novel, Tom. Or the one before that for that matter. Makes your co-worker sound like Mother Superior.

I have a buddy that has a wife that would make a truck driver blush. She is a great woman and manages a Telephone Company branch. She is a country girl and that's how she is. I like her. To fire someone would be too much but maybe she needs a little word.

Maybe you should just be glad you are hearing it from a co-worker at 10am than a Neighbour at 2:00am

I had a neighbour like that for 6 months

A few cuss words can be used to great effect.

But if every other word is a profanity, it loses its impact, and gets tiresome.

(But reading it again she does sound pretty funny though...)

My wife would say the exact same thing if she hit her head on the cabinet door.

But, she'd have it spit out in 5 seconds vs. 5 minutes!
