Secret work enemies

[Noisy noise annoys]

I used to work in call centre with this idiot (typically RS) called Pete. When he use to go to the bog id swap my keyboard for his, hed come back and answer the phone and ask for their name, when he started typing it id type things like Mrs Cum-breath and it would come up on his screen. Never failed to amuse

Just curl one down in one of her desk drawers.

If she doesn’t hand her notice in, start looking fir a move, as she’s in for the long haul.

She basically did a metaphorical one herself last month; she sent an all-staff email ranting about being not nice to each other.
It came across as if she’d written it after a few large vodka’s and then let someone persuade her to press ‘send’.

So she’s now known as the ‘keyboard warrior’.

Been a bit boring for me recently sadly

I've had so many awkward situations since the Christmas party girl that I don't dare leave my desk

It's probably all just karma for me being me at work for all these years

I've had:

One guy telling her how much she looks like my girlfriend

We got asked to pretend to be a 'work couple' for a work brochure (we're having a meeting with HR about this as we are both pretty annoyed since there are many work couples and it's quite out of order)

To which I heard her awful Oxbridge friend say to someone re: the brochure 'why are they asked him he looks like he skateboards to work' lol lol

Just to confirm, I am not going to be anywhere on the brochure

Multiple coatings, and you're bunkered up. Oh dear, how did you let this hilarity get so out of hand? On a more serious note, the other lady you know that was struggling, did you get the message across that her behaviour had been noted?
"Skateboards to work" - they've done you there. Wounded. haha lol

But do you skateboard to work? And have you considered doing that anyway?

Yeah thanks

We went for lunch (which I felt was a bit of a 50/50 idea but something needed to change.), but luckily it was good and we just wrote it off. She said she felt pretty bad about it too so it helped us both. I could tell she is a good person so we both just sorted it very amicably and now it's just turned into a bit of a weird laugh.

No, people can't handle the fact I wear trainers I think

The Sid and Nancy of your work place.

Well she likes drugs too

But it's clearly cos she is foreign (Romanian) and I don't look like I'm from a redbrick uni

So the bit of crumpet is still blushing, but the lady that was struggling with separating with her long time fella and could have been boozing a bit hard has cleaned her act up? No harm done anywhere then, now for the guy on the wind up about crumpet looking like your GF, maybe a rumour on the toilet cubicle door about how he's notoriously seen down the pet store at weekends purchasing small rodents and footlong lengths of pipe?

The email from marketing was amazing. Something like 'look like you are enjoying a drink in a candid setting (pub) and if you both agree, touch her on the arm'

And that was going to show the social aspect of the firm

They're back together but she is ok but CBT pretty difficult saying it's bringing up a lot of old trauma. But said it will be worthwhile in the long term so that's good and I've not had any more calls like that. So I'll leave it for now

I think he was just joking with the brochure thing tbh, which is fair enough as I'd do the same

It blew my mind and the marketing people aren't even old men. No idea where that idea came from.

I'd refuse to do it even if I was in a couple with someone in work, well weird
