The workplace
After about 12 years of being in an all-male office, we have a woman starting this morning. The farting, swearing, general racism, sexism and bullying may have to be curtailed somewhat
What has pissed on your lolchips this morning?
Alt;
Olympics - good or bad

At least that is the tea-making sorted out though.
My chips are permanently soaked in urine, for I am something of a miserable cunt.
Alt: Indifferent.

Nothing. Yet.
The Olympics were a steaming gush of pebbly diarrhea . I am delighted it is over, until the Monglympics start.
EDIT: start as you mean to go on. Slap her on the arse, say "Alright treacle?" then tell her where the kettle is and that she should do the sandwich run about 11.30.

I don't think that is fair.
Working men shouldn't have to wait until 11.30 for a sandwich.

My chips are urine-free this morning
trying out doing things in a different order this morning, seems to work quite well - tea and crumpets THEN shower and shave.
Alt: I got quite excited about it, having seen nothing at all of the previous two Olympics, so I would say "good". Only watched about 30 minutes of the Closing Ceremony though. Also, having Olympic Park only a few miles North-East of me meant I had fuck all chance of seeing any Perseids.

Slightly better
The last two host nations had a just under a 50% increase on their previous performance. We had just over.
That's based on Golds. I don't know about overall.

The head of UK Athletics set a target of 8 track and field medals and we only got 6
Although 4 were gold, which most people seem to think makes up for it.

I had a similar thing with a big upgrade to my laptop. The Germans needed it so I sent it back to them on a Friday, come Monday they were calling me to see why I hadn't logged in etc etc. The reply 'You've got the laptop' was the cue for the MD to rip the German IT guy several new ones as he could have updated me remotely. Didn't get the laptop back util the Friday. Win!
In other news, so far today my chips have been urine-free. I expect this state of affairs to change, however

you might find she can fart, swear, bully, and racelol better than you.
Lolchips are average, no-one else in the office today so I am the master of my small corner of the Universe. This does have the downside of having to make my own coffee, though.
alt: The Olympics were great, apart from Paul McCartney and that cunt from Oasis - if you can't sing in tune, please fuck off and don't bother.
Anyone else find it ironic that a political party that's spent the last 30+ years indoctrinating us on assigning a cost to everything, and that nothing exists unless it can be counted,measured,and costed to the nth degree, is now extolling the virtue of volunteering, ie working for nothing?

We've had a woman here for a while. It was an awkward transitional period
but I found that if you pat them on the bum and call them "pet" they seem happy enough. A cursory "sorry, love" seems to be fine if the occasional spot of manly behaviour accidentally happens. If they do something right every now and again make sure to say "eeee, good job, sweet'eart".

I went for a job interview in a terribly PC public service office once.
They asked me what I would do if I was in an office with men and they started making sexist jokes. They weren't very pleased with my answer of "If they were funny, I'd probably join in."
Hatchet faced miserable old slags.
Alt: I was all prepared to hate it and say we couldn't organise a piss up in a brewery, and then they spoiled it all by being all efficient and successful, and staging a fantastic fortnight's sport.

If you don't pat her on the arse and make comments like "You don't get many of them to the pound eh!"
Then you are likely to upset her. Women like to be made to feel like women. I suggest a firm smack on the arse and an offer of a fuck in the photocopying room will do wonders for her self esteem.
