Great manager, honest.
The first time my boss (that sits 5 metres away) has spoken to me (I bow to Vipros for saving me from 'dickheadedness') or my colleague since we both returned from 2 weeks away on annual leave on monday, was this morning at our monthly team meeting.
He doesn't speak to us at all between meetings and only communicates via emails out of office hours or when he works from home on thursdays and fridays.

This has been going on for 4 years. Happy days.

has spoken to ME or my colleague
saying myself makes you sound like a dickhead

To be honest mate......
Replying to posts just to point out incorrect grammar (and to give yourself a smug sense of satisfaction) probably makes you look like the bigger dickhead.

I don't need to do that to have a smug sense of satisfaction, ask anyone
and saying myself or yourself or whatever really does make you look like a dickhead. I work in an office full of people who do it.

just trying to help. mate.

that'd still be wrong and annoying
myself is for things like "I'll do it myself" or for when you are the object of the sentence.

"All QOTW threads should be written in the third person, really."
Said Sivvus, contributing her two cents.

I'd vote for that

I'd probably bother to post an actual response to the question in the first place. ;)

Would make an interesting challenge
...write a story about yourself in the third person. The more embarrassing, the better....
