21st August, 2005: Life After The Cow-orker.

Good news for those of you who've missed hearing about my misadventures in the workplace: they haven't stopped. Yes, sad to say, the location may have changed, but my ability to attract the sociopaths in a workplace remains sadly undiminished.

The story of life after the Cow-orker (along with a couple of episodes from the good old days) continues at Blunt Trauma (http://blunt-trauma.blogspot.com/).

This site will remain as a testament to the human ability to endure the unendurable.

ABOUT THIS SITE.

Welcome to my own personal diary in hell.

This site originally began as a series of occasional posts to a mailing list I'm subscribed to, generally in the immediate aftermath of an encounter with a workmate referred to here only as "the Cow-orker". I found the posts therapeutic, while several of my fellow subscribers to the list found them entertaining. Everything you read here is based on real conversations with real people. Only the names have been changed because I'm too frightened to contemplate what my workplace would be like if the Cow-orker were to discover this site and put two and two together (even if it is highly unlikely that she'd actually get four).

Enjoy the site. I'm sure there'll be plenty more where this came from.

THE "THANKS TO" DEPARTMENT:

Angus, Bill & Heretic for encouraging me (directly and indirectly) to preserve the record of my adventures;
Phil, for his part in helping catapult this site into infamy;
The Cow-orker herself, without whom this sight would not have been possible. Whether that's a good thing or not I'll leave to you to decide;
Scott Adams, creator of Dilbert, for enriching my vocabulary with the term cow-orker and allowing me to put a name to my nemesis;
Everyone who's visited this site since it first went online back in June 2002.
