Work Chants
 

Sometimes, you need to chant something just to get thru the day.

Try this one and see how many people you can get saying it -

I HATE THIS PLACE - NOTHING WORKS HERE - THE MEDICATIONS DON'T WORK - I'VE BEEN HERE FOR SEVEN YEARS - I HATE THIS PLACE - NOTHING WORKS HERE - THE MEDICATIONS DON'T WORK - I'VE BEEN HERE FOR SEVEN YEARS - I HATE THIS PLACE - NOTHING WORKS HERE - THE MEDICATIONS DON'T WORK - I'VE BEEN HERE FOR SEVEN YEARS - I HATE THIS PLACE - NOTHING WORKS HERE - THE MEDICATIONS DON'T WORK - I'VE BEEN HERE FOR SEVEN YEARS - I HATE THIS PLACE - NOTHING WORKS HERE - THE MEDICATIONS DON'T WORK - I'VE BEEN HERE FOR SEVEN YEARS - I HATE THIS PLACE - NOTHING WORKS HERE - THE MEDICATIONS DON'T WORK - I'VE BEEN HERE FOR SEVEN YEARS - I HATE THIS PLACE - NOTHING WORKS HERE - THE MEDICATIONS DON'T WORK - I'VE BEEN HERE FOR SEVEN YEARS - I HATE THIS PLACE - NOTHING WORKS HERE - THE MEDICATIONS DON'T WORK - I'VE BEEN HERE FOR SEVEN YEARS - I HATE THIS PLACE - NOTHING WORKS HERE - THE MEDICATIONS DON'T WORK - I'VE BEEN HERE FOR SEVEN YEARS - I HATE THIS PLACE - NOTHING WORKS HERE - THE MEDICATIONS DON'T WORK - I'VE BEEN HERE FOR SEVEN YEARS - I HATE THIS PLACE - NOTHING WORKS HERE - THE MEDICATIONS DON'T WORK - I'VE BEEN HERE FOR SEVEN YEARS - I HATE THIS PLACE - NOTHING WORKS HERE - THE MEDICATIONS DON'T WORK - I'VE BEEN HERE FOR SEVEN YEARS -I HATE THIS PLACE - NOTHING WORKS HERE - THE MEDICATIONS DON'T WORK - I'VE BEEN HERE FOR SEVEN YEARS - ect.

Infectious little ditty, don'tcha think?

I've had a couple of work mantras. One is "Change is Evil, Change is Bad".

My favorite mantra: "Only two more days till Saturday... Only one more day till Saturday..."

Even better: "Only four more hours till I get out of this place!"

I just sing Todd Rungren:

"I don't want to work
I just want to bang on my drum all day"

What is that from? There's a local radio morning show that uses that audio clip as a drop-in...

I ain't gonna school! It starts too early for me!

OR

When we grew up and went to school, there were certain teachers...

You don't have to be insane to work here but it helps! -- can't remember where I read this from.

HBO Special on Belleview (sp?) Hospital in NYC.
Opie and Anthony use it quite a bit.

I just grumble-mumble, long unintelligible sentences punctuated by an occasional, clearly spoken, "praise Allah". ;)

Nice.

I sometimes get on the PA system and say "I love tatertots" in a dopey voice.

I just love the interdepartmental memos - "Please do not use the 'Public Announcement System' for personal use." Ok, yeah, I'll get right on that.

I need to see that special. I saw about 15 minutes of one that ran on A&E last week. It was all very, very familiar. I liked the little window onto New York Crazy. I'm very familiar with Philly Crazy. What I found interesting is that I have a patient that is originally from NYC, and has spent time at The Vue. There was a remarkable similarity between her and several of the schizophrenic patients I saw in the documentary (There are regional flavors to crazy, much like wine varietals vary from state to state, even if they are from the same rootstock).

No wonder I thought that the chant that started this thread had a real nuthouse feel to it.

You don't have to be crazy to work here, we can train you.

I fucking hate this fucking place.

We're all here when you're not all there.

These are just a few examples of ours ...

You have to have something to eat up the time in between having someone take a swing at you and sitting back and relaxing while discussing things like "which bodily fluid would you rather have contact with?"

Just in case you were wondering, there's a fine line between purulent stool and bloody phlegm. It's really hard to choose.

That is why we don't have a public announcement system.

Wolf , I get to see the FULL stages of decay ( Yes I have seen the FULL life cycle of Maggots , and seen a box break open at a Medical incenerator, Arms , Legs and various body parts floppin' accross the floor ) of most EVERY THING , but I think I will PASS on both of these :yuck :

See, you didn't have to touch the medical waste. That makes a big difference.

I like this idea! It certainly has the ring of truth about it.

This is the ringtone on my phone....;)

Hi libragirl...welcome to the Cellar!

Now I will go back to my mantra:

people suck I hate them all...(repeat 10x)

whipass
Listen to "The Original: listen to ray"

Then check out the remixes

Something that's stuck with me ever since I saw it taped up in an anonymous clerical cubicle in an anonymous (and classified) building and space in Goodfellow AFB in Texas:

It was this brush-inked sketch of a Walt Kelly-looking bunny rabbit, yelling,

"We Love It Here
We Love It Here
Ya Fuckin' A
We Love It Here!"

The gun is good. The penis is evil. The gun is good. The penis is evil. The gun is good. The penis is evil. The gun is good. The penis is evil. The gun is good. The penis is evil. The gun is good. The penis is evil. The gun is good. The penis is evil. The gun is good. The penis is evil.

:eek: :eek: :eek:

'cos daylight come and we wanna go home (PS: I think I found the thread that labrat wanted to post in)

We got to get out of this place - if it's the last thing we ever do

thirty four hours until the weekend
thirty four hours to go
waste an hour on pointless work
thirty three hours until the weekend

"Waiting for the time when I can finally say,
This has all been wonderful, now I'm on my way!!!!"
