Overheard At Work #6 - After hours edition

I just found out that I did my taxes wrong (pre-filed).  My dad reviewed my work and informed me that I missed the Ontario Tax schedule.  And what was supposed to be a massive refund became an amount OWING.  I knew my boss would never do that to me though.  She would pad the deductions enough to ensure a refund.  At the least there should be nothing owing.  Turns out when she signed me up for payroll she put me in as having a spouse.  And since I don't have a spouse and cannot claim spousal deductions, I now owe the gov't (I realize I'm not out any money, taxes be taxes). And since I had been bragging at work about my refund I texted my coworker.  He's off Mon-Wed and I wanted to let him know of my failure.

Dean: ....She must feel bad....

Me: I know she is kicking herself.  Don't mention to her I told you!!!  I only meant to let you know my refund was a pipe dream as a result of my own error.  Good thing pops is checking it for me.

Dean: Too late I just texted her and said what the fuck happened with Julie's T4?

Me: You're going to have a special present somewhere in or around your desk on Thursday.

Dean: Ross left a few of those this week.

Overheard at Work #4 & #5

Back by my own popular demand, two installments of Overheard at Work:

Guy 1:  *getting angry on the phone*...I hate religion anyways.  It's not even about the church.  I'll tell you what it's all about, it's all about fucking aliens.  That's what it's all about.  Don't even get me started.  Ok mom, love you too, bye.

And then earlier today...

Guy 2: *on the phone*...uh huh.....ok.....yep.....uh huh....alright, I know exactly what you mean, thank you.  *hangs up the phone*...I have no idea what he just said to me.

Overheard at Work #3

Sometimes when I'm not paying attention at work out of nowhere I'll hear something like:

"F***** sounds f***** like a f***** Vietnam f***** hitman."

And I don't even bother asking.  They've already apologized in advance for any swearing.

Overheard at Work #2

I was talking to my boss today and a few funny things came up.  The second of which I actually started laughing and couldn't stop for almost 30 seconds.

Boss: I saw that singer on the National on Sunday
Me: Gord Downie, I saw that too.
Boss: I couldn't understand a fucking word he was saying.

And in reference to someone messing up her tax payments;
Boss: ...I would commit harikari.

Gooood times.

Overheard at Work #1

I have a feeling I am going to have several of these moments in the near future:

Guy 1: *ranting about the NHL lockout*
Guy 2:  Fuck sports, fuck the media, fuck the gov't, fuck everything!
Guy 3: That's it guys, we're going off the grid.
