Without it you wouldn't know that my earworm today is 'I Need A Lover' by Ken Doh
And then where would you be, eh?

I think if you work in an open plan office it should be protocol to wait until everyone is present before telling a story about how you bought some gay trainers last night. I don't need to hear that story five times. I didn't need to hear it once you prick. Fucken people.

i hated being open plan
mostly because my boss insisted on using speech magic rather than LEARNING TO TYPE and all day all I could hear was, "mr d'agostini. scratch that. d'agostini. scratch that. d'-ag-os-teen-ee. scratch that." ugh.

although it all paid off when he sent a highly aggressive letter before action that turned out to set out stern details of our client's LEAKY SHOES instead of LEGAL ISSUES...

I think people should give you a kind of headline to their story, then you can decide if you want to hear it or not.
A bit like QOTW when I read the last line first to see if it's a shit pun, or if it's posted by Amorous Badger in which case I ignore it altogether.

Open plan offices are terrible. Thankfully I haven't had to work in one for years.
Own office: fart when you want, have music on without having to wear headphones, close the door when you want peace & quiet, avoid people eating stinky food at their desk, avoid banal conversations about last night's soap operas etc.

Much better.

I like it. I have mostly worked on my own for years now, other people can fuck off.

It's not like you'd spend all day, every day in it - what with meetings etc.

What's the betting that Dozer is basically his office's Colin Hunt?
