Bastard Colleagues
You'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

I've worked as a proofreader
And I'm not a good one. Most normal people, when they read, automatically correct minor spelling mistakes and punctuation/grammar blips so that they don;'t even see them. To be a good proofreader, you have to have no imagination whatsoever, so that each comma carries the same weight as a whole sentence. The best proofreaders are the dullest, most pedantic, lifeless obsessive freaks known to man. It's a skilled job, but not really human.
