Clever lads, clearly passing as incompetent. Does the mouse at your workstation smell like sweaty arsecrack, by any chance? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mizfit Posted October 23, 2017 Share Posted October 23, 2017 Clever lads, clearly passing as incompetent. Does the mouse at your workstation smell like sweaty arsecrack, by any chance? I have never felt the need to sniff my mouse, and I pray to fucking god I never need too. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ross. Posted October 24, 2017 Share Posted October 24, 2017 The "Big boss" is heading over from the US for his 1 week a year at the start of December. He has told us that he wants the whole department to go Curling. I don't understand why he doesn't stick to the traditional "Take us out for a steak and a few beers", which I know we all appreciate. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably referring to the inevitable toe-curling CEO speech, usually involving all the offices being part of 'one big family' regardless of distance. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He isn't really the type for speeches, pretty sound guy but only comes here because he is contractually obliged to. We will get the toe curling speech in January at our year end event, delivered by the boy who runs the European office. His speeches are legendary in length. The last couple of years we have had folk running a book on how long it would last. Think it was around 55 minutes last time.

As you're Scottish and will be playing against some Swiss and Yanks if you don't smash them totally at Curling you will have failed and will have embarassed and let down your whole nation. But no presssure. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But no presssure. Switzerland and the US are on a par with Scotland as second rate Curlers. I'll just make sure the Canadian boy downstairs is in my team. They are the daddy's at Curling. Either that or I'll pay Rhona Martin to wear a mask with my face on it and play on my behalf. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boss was in for about an hour, staring galikitly at his computer, then left. His wife was here for a couple of hours chasing up invoices, she's now fucked off. My other colleague isn't here as apparently a friend of his got hit by a train and killed last night , so it's just me (and the lassies that answer the phones from a different office) Some length of arms on them. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BallochSonsFan Posted October 24, 2017 Share Posted October 24, 2017 Stuck in here til 6:30. Thankfully my bit of the office will be quiet. Won't get any of my own work done after 5, but it should pass quickly enough 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

invergowrie arab Posted October 26, 2017 Share Posted October 26, 2017 I agreed to organise the works Xmas lunch/bevvy in my new job (I know) In reality that means phoning pub and confirming they can accommodate, emailing the team and then letting my admin assistant deal with all the pish of taking orders and deposits etc this is for a team of about 16. I was then cc'd into an email with 6 other randomers saying get in touch with me to book. Apparently old colleagues, including some who left 10 years ago, get invited too. Get tae f**k. If you want to hang about with your pals do it in your own time. So, if anyone fancies a Xmas lunch at Braes in Dundee PM me as apparently it's a fucking free for all. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cardinal Richelieu Posted October 26, 2017 Share Posted October 26, 2017 Attended a 2 day conference for our customers. I have to deliver a presentation to 200 odd delegates. Decide to introduce some levity and get some folk to play a game for which I need volunteers. Have the bright idea of chucking 4 stress balls into the crowd. In an attempt to launch a ball to the back of the hall, I end up flinging one full-whack straight into the face of an elderly woman, breaking her glasses. I realise this hasn't got much to do with work colleagues (apart from the fact they were all pishing themselves) but it was the highlight of their day. Not sure I'll be asked back. 12 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I figured that the interview process for P&B moderator would include more hammer-throwing and hot-tub sterilisation, but I can see how battering the elderly could be considered a plus. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
