Hmmm, so I've posted a little
We know Bertwhatshisname hates me - is that 'cos I'm a noob or 'cos he can't "bumder" me? Anyway, fuck him. Here's my first post!

So, here's a witty and interesting post:

At work today, one of our managers (who reports to me) announced she was taking maternity leave - before she told me. This was met with snorts of laughter. She always goes on about her lack of sex life, and how she can never have children due to childhood issues with her....female organs.....when questioned upon her announcement, she proceeded to tell me that she was having surgery and would be out of action for a few days.
Protocol doesn't let me ask for specifics on surgery, but she does need a doctors notice that she'll be out of the office for more than a week. The doctor faxed me back with excriatinly details of said employee's upcoming pap smear......(routine test).....

Alt Q: What idiocy have you come across in the workplace?

I don't really get the punch line,
but I do work with a guy who looks like the comic book guy from Simpsons, when he blows kisses on the phone to his wife I want to beat his face to a pulp and vomit on it.
He stupidly keeps doing it.

Don't mind Bert
He barks a lot, but never bites.

Workplace idiocy is currently that I unplugged a network switch until we had a correct length cable, and made sure no-one was to touch it until I'd cut one. I come back an hour later to find they've found a tiny cable, and so had the switch dangling in mid air, being held up by wires.

I say had, because the daft fuckers had just dropped something rather heavy on top of it, fucking the ethernet sockets on the machine it's attached to. Cost of replacement? £400, due to it being a specialist machine, and requiring an engineer to come out and fit a new one.

Fucking retards.

If you're sweet with Bert
he's sweet with you in return. Not a bad boy at all, he just likes to say bad words.

I find stupid to have 3 engineers, one of the with 8 years experience, doing the same mechanical work for months, no intelligence or thinking involved at all, only sitting in front of your PC checking numbers.

I need to find a new job.

my colleague called in sick on Monday
despite the fact that she knows that I know she goes out on the lash on Sunday nights and gets really leathered. Her calling in sick means I'm the only one in the office to take the phone calls, faxes and people walking in off the street. This means I barely have time to make a coffee let alone eat lunch. She also knows how important both coffee and food are to me.

Set up a small blister in the side of the van, such that if they ding the van ever so slightly on their way out, it will shoot an enormous bundle of brightly-coloured comedy rubber snakes at them, while a klaxon emerges from the top of the van playing the Marseilleise at embarrassingly loud volume and a flag flutters down onto the roof of their 'car' with "CUNT" written across it.
