Not sure if I am becoming more irritable but
the people in the office where I'm on secondment don't half spout some fucking shite. Faux-deep bullshit about music and stuff. If Monty were here he'd go fucking mental.

How shit are the people where you are? If it's just you, then how shit are you?

Of my team of seven people
The new lass has finally gone to her Welcome Event in Bracknell, Zoe called in sick (although I know she was playing Red Dead Redemption online at 11pm last night), Rhys and Rob (the boss) booked today off to spend the day playing Red Dead Redemption online despite knowing that would leave just four of us, and Stacia had to go home with a tantalising combination of chronic toothache and cystitis. So it was mostly just me and Laura, who luckily is awesome and knows her stuff, and she had to go home about ten minutes ago, leaving me to be the last to leave at 6pm despite being the first in at 8am.

I'm convinced one colleague is dying. He sits opposite me and is constantly hacking up phlegm. I swear one day I'll hear "cough cough hrrrk hoik SPLAT", and look over to see a lung on the desk. He still smokes 20 a day easily though...

Another colleague constantly posts emo crap on his FB, and whines about shit at work. He also plays his music loud on his shitty earphones, so all you hear is "Tss tss tss tss". At least I had the common decency to buy headphones that don't let noise escape.

Another warehouseman is from Dalston and is in his 60s - he tipped me about a fabulous live blues album but also goes on about Bill Haley - in a good way - and is therefore a spanner. One girl went to see Paramore and likes Twilight. My boss likes the Fiddler on the Roof soundtrack (probably).
