I have been home ALL DAY

What did you buy ?

( willenium Fist bump for verification, Wed 5 Aug 2009, 19:11, Reply)

Cargo pants, shirt, socks, prezzie for Ancrenne
Should have bought a bottle of wine too, would have saved me the trip to the shop I just did.

I want to go shopping on sat
I haven't brought new clothes since 2007, except more pants when it was too much effort to wash my existing clothes
( willenium Fist bump for verification, Wed 5 Aug 2009, 19:37, Reply)

I have been home ALL WEEK
Bored out of my skull though due to all the organised friends being away (so nothing going on), and most of the people I want to talk to online being out of communication.
( Tedium Alduce me to interlow myself., Wed 5 Aug 2009, 19:19, Reply)

so week off though?

( willenium Fist bump for verification, Wed 5 Aug 2009, 19:23, Reply)

Uni holidays
Off till october, *smugs*, unfortunately not all that much to do, off to Poland next week for my grandmother's 80th though*, then to the lake district with a bunch of friends early september

*for some reason almost typed 21st there, obviously going mad
( Tedium Alduce me to interlow myself., Wed 5 Aug 2009, 19:27, Reply)

This is the closest that I will ever get to being on b3ta at work.
I'm doing overtime remotely from home.

What the fuck is wrong with me?
( Maladicta, Wed 5 Aug 2009, 19:18, Reply)

make sure you get paid

( Lisette von Falcon, Wed 5 Aug 2009, 19:21, Reply)

Oh, I will.
I told the boss I was doing 3 hours' worth tonight to get our inbox down to a manageable level. Only another hour and 32 minutes to go and I will have earned 36 shiny pounds!
( Maladicta, Wed 5 Aug 2009, 19:28, Reply)

You get paid in polished coins?
I have to put up with bank transfers. Don't get to see any of that money until I spend it.
( mistaspakkaman and the inedible shifting caterpillars, Wed 5 Aug 2009, 19:34, Reply)

Sadly not; get paid by BACS.
I wouldn't be doing this if I didn't need the money. I'm very very overdrawn :( It's quite nice to sit and work with music on and with a cup of tea (no music allowed in the office).
( Maladicta, Wed 5 Aug 2009, 19:51, Reply)

Does that also include iPods
(or Walkmans for those feeling Retro)?
( mistaspakkaman and the inedible shifting caterpillars, Wed 5 Aug 2009, 19:54, Reply)

Yes, it does - it's in our office rules that no one may break.
Something about being one team.

We also have a big flatscreen TV
that I want to either squeeze a rickroll on to (since I know it has a USB port and can therefore accommodate speakers) or add a slide to that just says OBEY.
( Maladicta, Wed 5 Aug 2009, 20:11, Reply)

Put the slide that says obey in
and fix it so removing it =instant rickroll
( willenium Fist bump for verification, Wed 5 Aug 2009, 20:13, Reply)

I think that's why the boss won't let me play with it
because he knows I'd do something completely insane and probably break it!

Or try and access the web-caches of the company directors and cycle through the caches' image-contents.
( mistaspakkaman and the inedible shifting caterpillars, Wed 5 Aug 2009, 20:16, Reply)

Our web policy is positively draconian
although I have noticed that it doesn't block Google Cache, so I could read vintage QOTW if I so wished...

Re Vintage QOTWs
Pity it wouldn't let you reply to old Questions.
( mistaspakkaman and the inedible shifting caterpillars, Wed 5 Aug 2009, 20:30, Reply)

Now that would be fun!
I'm not keen on the idea of my b3ta login turning up on the work server, though...
( Maladicta, Wed 5 Aug 2009, 20:36, Reply)

Same here
Even though I'm one of the lucky few to have an Internet Laptop on my desk, I still use my iPhone for b3ta-ing (b3ating?).
( mistaspakkaman and the inedible shifting caterpillars, Wed 5 Aug 2009, 20:39, Reply)

That's one of the few reasons I would want an iPhone other than the fact they are SHINY.
Am looking into a data bolt-on, or Pot was going to hook me up with a contract with unlimited data to feed my b3ta habit, except my phone doesn't like pages over a certain size :(
( Maladicta, Wed 5 Aug 2009, 20:53, Reply)

It's the opposite with us.
Two Christmases ago, we got everyone in the office a free iPod. So we encourage people to listen to mp3s. Of course back in the days of slacker attitudes to office Internet access, I'd download shed-loads of mp3s at work.
( mistaspakkaman and the inedible shifting caterpillars, Wed 5 Aug 2009, 20:12, Reply)

Sounds like heaven.
Would mean I wouldn't have to listen to the latest from Strictly Come Dancing!
( Maladicta, Wed 5 Aug 2009, 20:17, Reply)

Is that what they blare out over the tannoy at work?
Or is that just the taste of one of the Higher-Ups with music-listening privileges?
( mistaspakkaman and the inedible shifting caterpillars, Wed 5 Aug 2009, 20:32, Reply)

Nah, it's my colleague banging on about it ><
am not a fan. Not even slightly, and unfortunately I am alone in my despising of musical theatre, too!

I used to work in a place where listening to my colleagues banter would make me want to demolish the contents of my desk using only a pencil strapped to my forehead. Nowardays, I work in a place where half the banter is in a foreign language.

We have to speak French on Wednesday afternoons.
I say "have to" - we rarely do :(

You could compromise and parler la Franglais.

Pas gratuit, mais au même temps je ne baise pas pour l'argent.
Pourquoi, alors, est-ce que j'ai dit au responsable que je ferai la même chose demain et vendredi? VDM.

Eh beh oui!
C'est pour l'argent brillant, n'est pas (la même chose - pas la baiser)?

Vitamin B3a deficiency

( willenium Fist bump for verification, Wed 5 Aug 2009, 19:22, Reply)

It is - I don't dare even attempt to get on b3ta at work because we're so busy
and my boss will cunt me in the fuck with a P45 if no work gets done... we're a bit slow at the moment so I've taken one for the team and am going through the emails answering the ones I don't need the work-based systems for...

I usually get my b3ta fix
ninja-emailing Pot at work, and after four when the bosses have gone home we all just take the piss out of one another while we work, and drink tea. It's almost like OT.

Yesterday at work, things were so b0rked that one of the heads of department who had only come back from a holiday two days ago told me he'd rather be a shepherd on a mountain far away.

My lady boss
wants to be a train manager on the Javelins. £25 grand to walk up and down a train all day!
( Maladicta, Wed 5 Aug 2009, 20:05, Reply)

I wish I could get paid to walk up and down London and the surroundings all day.
Went on yet another walk with my walking-group yesterday. My fitness must have been boosted by Saturday's walk, and was now at the front of the group most of the time.
( mistaspakkaman and the inedible shifting caterpillars, Wed 5 Aug 2009, 20:15, Reply)

I miss working in London.
Don't miss the commute, I just miss being in the centre of everything. And the Krispy Kreme seller in Waterloo who always gave me discount :)
( Maladicta, Wed 5 Aug 2009, 20:16, Reply)

I'm too far out to reap the benefits of being in the centre of everything
but I have the advantage of not having everything on top of me all the time.
( mistaspakkaman and the inedible shifting caterpillars, Wed 5 Aug 2009, 20:33, Reply)

Were Trashford not convenient for work, and if Stalker Girl had not moved back there,
and I didn't love my flat a big huggy bunch, I'd want to move back to Canterbury. Longer commute to London even with the Javelin, but much nicer.
