Ugh. I hate these people. I have been off work for two days after picking a bug from one of the grads last week. She was in despite being obviously unwell, coughing like she had a sixty a day problem and shedding germs all over the place. Why can't these people just go home? What is wrong with them? I've had a great time in bed with a temperature, surfing the net, playing games and doing **** all. Bit like work, really, except with more pillows.

Just received a survey at work with the request.
"In one word, please write what development means to you."
"In one word, please write what development means to you."
This is a bit off topic but I don't quite understand why people who have a cold should not go to work but kids having a cold still have to go to school. Do people really think that there's something magical about an office that spreads germs, while a school doesn't?
I don't quite see why there should be a double standard.

It's unlucky to open calendars?

It's optional so I just burst out laughing, had a little bitch with the guy sat next to me and moved on.

I'd either reply 'Development' or 'Fish', depending on the mood.

It's not worth dignifying with any response. It's the question of someone who got to the end, thought they didn't have enough questions so badly copied a kind of question they've seen in the past with absolutely no value or merit. Typical bell-cheesery.
They'll likely get a pay rise and promotion out of it.
As I've said on this thread before, work seems to bring the misanthrope out in me.

We've figured out that's what the Portuguese and Brazilian staff in work are doing when they speak Portuguese. If they're talking technical stuff its always in English as they learnt everything through English to begin with.
We also have two Danes who were doing it about various people - not me though - until I dropped into conversation that I (actually do) have the absolute most basic understanding of Danish. Hasn't happened since
Little kids are told it is unlucky to open ADVENT calendars in advance to stop them scoffing all their chocs in 1 sitting.

Our boss does not like dress down days (he is an accountant).
So he is out tomorrow, decision made to have a dress down day, pound in the charity tin for St Catherines Hospice if you take part.
So somebody sent him the email asking him to contact a person about it, who is not in today....

'Thank you for your email
I am working from home tomorrow to avoid the excruciating 'oooh look at me I am so wacky' Bellcheesery that is the annual Christmas Jumper thing, but will respond in due course. You wankers.

Oh I've got a FANTASTIC example of BELL CHEESERY for you today boys and girls...
There is a significant build up of UNCLAIMED lunch boxes in the kitchen cupboard. A LUNCHBOX DEADLINE (which I'm sure you're all familiar with) has been set. But, quite remarkably, it's gone from "If you don't collect them by 5 tomorrow, they will be slung in the bin" to "We are having a LUNCHBOX AUCTION at 16:50 on the dot on Friday" Only after the auction is complete are the unclaimed lunchboxes (some of which are the posh glass ones from Ikea) will be cast into the abyss.
A ****ing Lunchbox Auction. Honestly.
