Bell Cheeses at work

[Badger]

Can't check now but sure there is some office-pet related stuff earlier in the thread......

Yep, that was me when I worked in an office with dogs. I disliked dogs before joining that company. Now I f***ing hate them.

What are you hoping for this year, on Administrative Professionals day?

IIRC was that not remedied by bringing in a honey badger to tickle the dogs playfully and frolic nearby?

I had to listen to somebody talking about "cross-fertilisation of departments" recently

I have a friend who worked in the City for a German bank. When they moved buildings an email came out saying "The Occupation Has Started".

I work within a completely ridiculous meeting culture and actively challenge the notion that I should attend a meeting I am invited to.

There is no point declining the meeting, that simply makes the thing a moving target as you increasing the likelihood it will be moved.

It's best to kill meetings at source I've come to believe.

I've also found another tactic to deal with work is to challenge other people who are so scared to show "weakness", they think you are too.

If you ever getting accused of contradicting yourself with "But I though we decided..", just reply "I've changed my mind".

Kills the conversation DEAD every time.

We have monthly team meetings. At the start of the year my boss lightheartedly me if I had made any New Year's Resolutions, and I said 'to miss at least five team meetings'. I think he thought I was joking.

So far I have managed to avoid all four this year - so I am well on target!!

We've got what I would call an "adolescent bell" in our office. He's in his 20's, but comes in every day going on about the amount he's drunk the night before, like it's some sort of badge of honour. He posts stuff on facebook like "SATURDAY IS FOR THE LADS", with a picture of a pint of Carling, and regales us all of stories about "the sesh". He seems to gain great satisfaction in boasting about how many customers he's made cry. All in all, a thoroughly reprehensible human being. He makes my piss boil.

I actually had to leave to pick up my daughter straight after the call, so I've not yet been updated on the aftermath. I'll report it back when I find out. I'd be VERY surprised if I see him in the office on Monday though.

I totally forgot to provide an update on this.

Luckily for the lad, he was shown some mercy and clung onto his job. I don't think he has uttered a word since

We had a bloke at work who spent years clinging onto his job by the skin of his teeth. Everyone called him "Missile" as he was always in danger of being fired.

Could it be?

You would think that a major UK university would know how to assign email addresses. But, no. A new member of staff has the same name as me. We are both known by the shortened version of our first name. My email address has for 20 years been the long version of my first name. They have given the new guy the short version. Yes, we get each other's emails, and outlook calender alerts on an almost daily basis.

On that exact point, in a previous job there was a chap named Mike Richardson. His outlook name was Mike Richardson (Office location).
Which was fine. Until a different Mike Richardson started working in the same office.
It was a big office.
Did they really not see that coming?

I worked with a crisp eater - it was the loudest crisp eating action in the universe.

My crisp eater colleague doesn’t close his mouth around the crisp when he bites it, and is completely oblivious to the debris about his clothes and feet. Lovely bloke, very bright, rubbish at crisps.

Every bite set my nerves on edge.

****ing hell! Is that synchronicity or what!

I was just telling my missus this tale...I used to work for a company...there was a guy there with the same name as mine...so IT gave both of us the same effing email address.

On day one I get all this dickheads emails, telling him to wipe his Arse, blow his nose...lots of monkey boy shite.

I wander down to IT, explain that I'm a new starter and have an email clash, then I find this dick and explain, nicely, that there is a bit of confusion, while I sort it out, please can he send me any email that clearly isn't his (I'm marketing, he's a lab bloke) after a YEAR this guy is still not forwarding my mail, so I start replying to his with stupid, insane replies.

He complains that I'm bullying him.

I left in disgust.

My new company has just been bought out by my old one..and, yes, he's still there.

Last week I got my OLD email address back...and it's still the same as HIS.

I'm on to the recruiters again.

Early 90's there was a manager who had just been issued one of them new fangled mobile phones. Trouble was he couldn't get a signal in the office without standing on a chair. A chair by his desk. That had a landline on it.

Several times a day you would hear "HI. IT'S JEFF. WHAT ? NO, I'M ON MY MOBILE. HOW ABOUT NOW ? HANG ON. YOU STILL THERE ?"
