Quick question
What's the office gossip at your workplace atm? Doesn't matter how trivial it is.

One guy is running about eight or ten Golds a week.
It's taking money right out of everyone's pockets, and they're not best pleased.

I can't remember, are you the guy who works in a cab office?
What are Golds?

Hah yeah
Jobs over £34, passed in rotation.

Ah, we call the 'Nice Ones', anything over £20 on a slow night, £30 on a good night.
Everyone gets at least one per shift, most people get two.

Some people preffer to skip them and get locals though, esspecaily on a friday or saturday.

Hmm...
Locals, up to £7. Shorts, up to £11.50, Longs up to £21.50, Silvers up to £34 and Golds are £34+. This guy has given his mobile number out to a whole bunch of people and students etc and is taking a fair amount of work from everyone (probably around £600-£700 per week) while still working for us. It's a shame my boss is a spineless waste of space, really.

There's a rumour going round that I'm a tart.
And since I'm the only one in the office, I think I know who started it.

Ok...
Our service delivery manager and the 3rd line team manager are having an affair. The SDM's wife has just given birth to twins, and the 3rd line TM has just got married.

Somehow, I can't see this ending well.

/Oh, it hasn't. It's exploded onto facebook. Joy.

Bah.
I wouldn't want to be involved with all that, really.

Everyone I know at work is friends with the boss on Facebook and I'm not. Fail.

My line manager
(who I have spats with from time to time, as she is of the stick rather than carrot persuasion) revealed yesterday that the last time she was kissed on the lips was eight years ago. I found this unbearably sad and am inclined now to understand why she is so mean sometimes.

She has also never, ever eaten a curry. This was discovered when one of the men from the local Indian takeaway came in and as he left she whispered to me "That man smelled nice. He smelled of food." She was practically drooling. We assumed she was a curry fiend and were most surprised when she admitted that she'd never even tried one as she was too scared.

Not gossip, I spose, as she informed us of both these facts herself But interesting insights into the workings of a 50 year old Retail Manager.

Buy her a chicken pasanda and a male escort.
She'll carrot you forever.

That we should stop going to the local pub every lunch
and start going to one further away
( willenium Fist bump for verification, Wed 22 Jul 2009, 19:09, Reply)

Why would you want to do that?
Further to walk, ergo less time in pub and shorter lunchbreak.
( Maladicta, Wed 22 Jul 2009, 19:10, Reply)

no the whole company goes to the pub on mass
my boss loves his ales so no risk of losing time

That the reason the proposed secondments
bear no relation to the stuff we said we'd be prepared to do is apparently due to some childish political infighting about four levels above us. Joy.

We're a call centre of 80-odd
And we've got 17 people off sick claiming swine flu. I'm not sure how many of them have got piggysnuffles though, and how many are chancing it.
