Bastard ColleaguesYou've all known one. The brown-nosing fucker, the 'comedian', the drunk, the gossip and of course the weird one with no mates who goes bell ringing, looks like Mr Majika and sports a monk's haircut (and is a woman).
Tell us about yours...
Thanks to Deskbound for the idea

Not a bastard as suchWe once had an accounts girl working for us who, whilst being perfectly nice, wasn't the sharpest tool in the box.
There was one occassion where she displayed almost Autistic odd-ness that still totally baffles me today.
It was a quiet "accounts" day so she had little to do so I asked her to tidy some shelves that had a load of books just chucked onto them by the dirty techies. Now this is the bit that still gets me today. Any normal person, even my 2 year old, would put them onto the shelf with the spines facing outwards so you can see what each book is. Amazingly she did the complete opposite and neatly lined each book on the shelf but with the spine of every one facing inwards.
The result was that you obviously had no idea what each book was. I know that it is a small thing but in my mind, it is such a fundementally obvious thing, I am still perplexed by it.

Post modernistic irony on her part perhaps?A Kafkaesque response to modern office work?
