Bell Cheeses at work

[Faldo]

Your last point is valid though. Plenty of top quality eye SWEETS

Fixed for you...

One I've noticed creeping in, people saying "ping me an email". Ping ? PING ? It's "send" you utter twats. Do they think it makes them sound dynamic or super techy ?

I did get into a "discussion" with a support team who asked me to "ping us the results" so I asked them for the email server IP. One hour and a dozen emails later, I SENT them the results (ironically a server test log file which included 10k pings).

Honeymoon period is over. Was implausible that a company with about 300 staff would be bell-free.

There's Mr Coffee Breath - who doesn't seem to realise its that bad, and has a habit of walking over to you rather than phoning. He's also not very good at his job, but that's less annoying to me currently

And we've got a junior technician who is a nephew of someone senior so can't be got rid of too easy. Every customer he goes out to threatens to leave. Had to be shown what a rack-mount server, a UPS and a tape library looked like despite apparently being qualified. He sounds so thick you wonder how he can remember to breathe.


Can't partake in the complaints about Halloween - the yanks stole that from us, and changed the turnips that were hollowed out (in a very Baldrick fashion) in to pumpkins, so its clearly not seen as a distasteful US import here.

It appears that the moment anyone of any authority in my office walks out, it is que for people to start whilsting as loud as possible. Annoying is an understatment.

 

[Simster]

I f**king hate the way Halloween has been allowed to usurp Bonfire night in our culture. F*ck halloween, and any ADULT who buys halloween themed supermarket tat is a bell-cheese.

I work in a warehouse. Somebody new has joined the company. They can't climb ladders because; and this is their wording not mine, "their knees are too high which makes steps difficult." They also have back pains so can't lift heavy items or bend over too much. This means they're entirely useless, it's a burden having them then there in the rare case of them actually turning up.

SO WHY THE F*CKING F*CK DID THEY APPLY FOR A JOB IN A WAREHOUSE, FFS YOU STUPID ****?

So they can work somewhere where they have a ready made excuse to do f**k all

Indeed. I suggest that the bell-cheese in this story, works in HR / recruitment.

...... For HR to tick the disability box........ or possibly, as they're probably not registered disabled, just "not very fit" box.

Do you get the same amount of Halloween crap in the shops in Canada that we get in the States? There are ‘pop up’ shops which open at the start of October stacked full of costumes and the stores are full of chocolate and sweets (‘candy’ as they insist on calling it here) to make the little porkers even fatter than they are if that’s possible. Some people must be making a fortune. Having said that, after New Year’s Eve it’s the best night of the year for seeing lots of very attractive women dressed in next to nothing.

I would argue Paddy's Day is better for that.

The US obsession with Halloween needs to be seen to be believed. Parents used to leave my office early so they could go trick or treating with their kids. One such example involved a guy who lived in Greenwich Village ducking out at 3!

Trick or treating in Greenwich Village is bellcheesery in itself.

Or perhaps he/she was on the sick and ATOS have made him take a job and this is what came up

"Action Points from last week's meeting".

Action points... for the love of God is there no end to this crap?!!

The Halloween email was bad enough, now this....

Isn't that how BBC came unstuck in the 70's and 80's

Ooh, I've just remembered I'm going to an Android conference that day. Bellcheesery avoided. Thank goodness for that.

I really didn't want to explain my work to some bored 14 year old kids. Although it would have been amusing to tell them how I actually do f*** all, and spend most of the day browsing the internet.

You could take some of the "youth" from the jungle in Calais....

Would be interesting to see if your work place thinks the same as the sun or daily mirror

Two of our more rotund office inhabitants have been discussing (loudly and proudly) their 'steps' and 'active minutes' recorded on their fitbits for the last 30 minutes.......the discussion is excruciating.....

....both are eating chocolate whilst chatting........

I am going to throw something.

 

[Brian Fantana]

I fear that the boot was on the other foot today, and I was the bellcheese. After much office peer pressure, I succumbed and brought Little Miss Fantana (3 months old) into the office. Yes, yes, I know. I did lay down strict ground rules though - the visit only last 10 minutes and would end immeditately if any inane cooing sounds were made or other such nonsense.

Congrats on the small person!

That said, this sort of behaviour does indeed qualify you as a low-level bellcheese, regardless of peer pressure.

I suppose an exception could be made if you were absolutely certain that no-one in your office was in any way annoyed by this taking place...
