Guy making a right racket with his Rubix cube and tweeting that Duffy is a waste of space
I tweeted that in my spare time, not at work.

On a lighter side from today's result.
After arriving home this afternoon I saw that my neighbour was mowing his lawn, nothing wrong in that I agree.
But I have seen a lot of daft things, but he then decided to start mowing the grass / moss that has grown across his tarmac drive.
You could here the blade being mullered in the process.

I've recently got another job.
1. There are no bellcheeses in my new office.
2. At least two other people in the office read NSC.
These two facts are in no way related.....
A few left early today ‘in case there are problems with the trains........’
Are you getting a train to Ireland you dumb ****

I work in an office within a building at Gatwick. I like my colleagues so no Bell Cheeses to post about, but the toilets here are shared by all the other rooms in the building.
Yesterday this note was stuck on the inside of the door exiting the mens...
I felt like this thread was the best place to share it.

Was on a cruise ship recently and there were signs actually instructing people to use a paper towel to open the door to the bogs..................also see loads of people do this at work. In both cases though, there is a bin next to the door for the purpose.................

Very good and sensible practice on a cruise ship and there are hand sanitisers everywhere

Office has backup batteries and generators; failing all else we could probably drive a diesel locomotive on to the nearest siding and hook up to it
We've got a CIO who does this, signs off every email with his initial. But it's lower case which is surely more effort when writing on a phone, to turn capitals off.
When on his laptop he's got his formal email signature, in which he's spelled his own name wrong which no-one's mentioned for the year I've been here.
The company I'm contracting with at the moment was recently taken over. Before the takeover it had one of the best cultures I've every encountered. That's crumbled in less than 6 months as the new company has lumbered in and antagonised people enough that around 60% of the staff have left, most of them voluntarily. While the whole approach of the new leadership team has shown a high level of bell-cheesery, the communication approach of the new CEO is on an altogether different level. Here is a snippet of a company blog he wrote:
"One of the reasons I do not unduly worry about attrition is because most of our voluntary attrition is generally because of self-assessed misalignment. And misalignment uncured creates a "suboptimal vector" issue"
I had to read this several times to work out what it means (basically, if you don't like it here, you can leave and I won't care). It is management-speak on a whole other level with almost none of the words actually meaning anything. Needless to say, this latest communication has led a number of the permanent staff to express an increased level of self-assessed misalignment.
The only good thing to come out of the takeover is the fact that I have a story for my favourite NSC thread.

Sounds like the kind of guy that, one day, will be sat on his own in the office with everyone else having left the company saying to himself 'I am still right'............................

Doubt he'd say, "I am still right," I expect it would be more, "I am delighted that my analysis viz-a-viz the attrition metric has been confirmed by 100% mis-alignment assessment action."

Just happened.
New(ish) colleague, "You're not very sociable, we never see you in the smoking room".
Me. "I don't smoke".
Him, "You don't have to smoke to come for coffee & chat in the smoking room".
Me, "It stinks, check your breath, it stinks like your breath".
Him, "Ah, you English & your BANTER"
He's Croatian.

If a **** talks bollocks when there is no-one there to hear him, does he make a sound ?
