I'm a goalkeeper, and quite a good one. I'm playing against my day to day colleagues, for our other office. I've been a cocky bastard all week about it, but have just found out that Darren Huckerby (formerly, Man City, Forest and Norwich hero) and Gary Docherty (former Norwich captain) are playing for my usual office team (Darren is usually our referee, but has dug out his playing boots, as has Docherty).
What unexpected news has made you feel or look like a bit of a twat?

Next you'll be staying late in the office and taking on additional responsibility. And worse, taking it seriously.

I've stayed late loads of times. I'm paid for 25 hours a week, but I'm in from 8:30 to about 5 (sometimes 6 or 7) every day.
I already took on extra responsibility (hence the meeting agenda)
I do not, however, take anything seriously.

Especially when we do things like commit our memories to machines. I mean, how many people when asked if they know something now refer to where they can find the information rather than actually knowing it? Computers and books are extensions of our selves and our knowledge.
