many happy returns
I was going to buy you a present but then I realised your cock of ignorance would just break it.

My best mate
She is desperately hungover, whereas I am merely a little fuzzy and fatigued.
This is a landmark occasion.

O, this is wonderful internetting.
I have been put right in my place. Oh god help me, I can't live with the indignity of it all. Oh woe. Oh alas and alack. Oh crikey. what shall I do now that BGB feels superior to me? Maybe I should start another thread or something.

Well actually I was implying that you felt superior to me.
But it's ok, you can't be right all the time.
( girlinthehole, Mon 7 Sep 2009, 10:50, Reply)

I disagree, and I do so in the strongest possible manner.

(MoistTickle we are legion, Mon 7 Sep 2009, 10:51, Reply)

Go on then, I'm bored of this one.

(PsychoChomp, Mon 7 Sep 2009, 11:09, Reply)

People that post lies on the internet.

(Richard Earl of Cambridge Cruel, Savage, Mon 7 Sep 2009, 11:19, Reply)

Well at least they are sometimes amusing.

( girlinthehole, Mon 7 Sep 2009, 11:27, Reply)

Hmmm... I don't suppose I'm feeling particularly superior
but I am feeling pretty proud and maybe a little smug that I have managed to finally type up a MASSIVE dictation for one of my bosses, its taken FOREVER!!! :S

you know what, I'd love to do that
I think there should be a job where you do nothing all day but type up tha dicta-tay-shuns.
Is there one, or do you always have to do other ball-ache stuff?
( Roota zweeeeeoooooowm, Mon 7 Sep 2009, 11:41, Reply)

Are you taking the piss,
typing dictation is boring
(PsychoChomp, Mon 7 Sep 2009, 11:44, Reply)

Well not to me it isn't!
I remember typing up a huuuge essay for my friend by dictation. I just loved it.

Different strokes I suppose.

audio typing
is what they call it. Prevalent in the translation industry because it's much faster to have someone dictate a big project than have them type out their translation themselves.

Also used lots in the medical profession because doctors who are qualified enough to be entrusted with dictaphones have horrible and illegible handwriting, the way of doctors everywhere.

Indeedy doo!
I have some sort of bollocks 'degree' in text processing which means I can type up audio for the legal profession and the medical profession. I chose the legal as I don't do hospitals, plus its easier!! Mwahahaha!
(Flim-Flam the Magnificent "You is talking loco and I like it!", Mon 7 Sep 2009, 12:16, Reply)

I know what you mean!
Sometimes I do quite enjoy not being bothered by anything else and just typing merrily away. My only issue with this particular dictation is that one of the guys kept talking over everyone else so I had to keep listening to the whole thing again and again to hear what he was talking over! Gar!

There are jobs out there with lots of dictation. I used to cover a lady who typed up Police interviews, that was quite a fun job as you got to be nosey and listen to lies etc! :)

Is the money any good?
My friend told me some tales from working where they store evidence/possessions/clothing from criminals. Some of the calls, like "I want you to return my son's smart black tracksuit. He needs it for a funeral."
( Roota zweeeeeoooooowm, Mon 7 Sep 2009, 11:58, Reply)

Nah that's the problem
The money was only good for me at the time as I was a skint student and doing it to help out my dad.

I did look at working for MI5 typing up telephone conversations, I thought that would be an ace job until I saw the wages... it was terrible! I wanna be a spy but not that much. I'd be homeless but with a cool spy-type job... I'd be like Sir Digby Chicken Caesar! :)

You'd have a nemmmesssissss!
I have one but he's crap.
( Roota zweeeeeoooooowm, Mon 7 Sep 2009, 12:10, Reply)

Hehe exactly!!
I don't think I have a nemesis?? I should have one... maybe I'll just pick someone at random!! :)

Who's yours??
(Flim-Flam the Magnificent "You is talking loco and I like it!", Mon 7 Sep 2009, 12:12, Reply)

oh he's a pillock.
I need a new one. Years ago I thought he was dead hard and scary, but he's actually a bit sad and deluded and just has some mental issues.
By sheer coincidence he is now the nemesis of my friend, because they're involved in a love triangle over some girl.
I definitely need a worthy nemesis.

Hahahaha
sounds interesting!! :S

Maybe we can be one anothers??

Dunnnn dunnnn duhhhhhhh!

I just pictured Maggie Simpson and the eyebrow baby!
Let's pass each other in prams and sneer.
( Roota zweeeeeoooooowm, Mon 7 Sep 2009, 12:19, Reply)

Hahaha
When you said nemesis earlier my initial thought was of the ride Nemesis, my second thought was of Maggie Simpson!! Haha this is concerning!

Oh and...

*sneers*

Ok then.
Unlike my work colleague, I didn't get drunk and have sex, whilst her father in law was in the next room putting up a wardrobe. With the baby monitor still switched on.

That just made my face red with embarrassment.
I felt their panic as they realised.
( Roota zweeeeeoooooowm, Mon 7 Sep 2009, 11:46, Reply)

Yip!
What was even more foolish was that she told the office...
( jim_bob can herd cats., Mon 7 Sep 2009, 11:48, Reply)

After your father-in-law hearing you screw, the office is a walk in the park
People tell the office everything anyway. When smelly Tony isn't there to ear-wig, that is.
( Roota zweeeeeoooooowm, Mon 7 Sep 2009, 11:50, Reply)

True that.
Mind you, winding up the office is quite a lot of fun in and of itself.
