― Trayce (trayce), Wednesday, 21 September 2005 03:18 (twenty years ago)

Its just been building up for a long while, and i've been sick from the stress.

― Trayce (trayce), Wednesday, 21 September 2005 03:19 (twenty years ago)

God I WISH I could just walk out! heh. But fuck dat I left my good headphones at work ;P

― Trayce (trayce), Wednesday, 21 September 2005 03:20 (twenty years ago)

so hypothetically if you tell him you're quitting he might beg you to stay or something?

― hstencil (hstencil), Wednesday, 21 September 2005 03:22 (twenty years ago)

Bahaha! *hysterical frayed laugh*. Yes, I suppose that could happen :(

― Trayce (trayce), Wednesday, 21 September 2005 03:23 (twenty years ago)

well then grab him by the balls and make some demands. otherwise, yeah, quit that shit.

― hstencil (hstencil), Wednesday, 21 September 2005 03:36 (twenty years ago)

I'd get dole eventually I think if it came to that.

SIGN ON THE DAY AFTER YOU QUIT, TRAYCE!

― CharlieNo4 (Charlie), Wednesday, 21 September 2005 07:26 (twenty years ago)

Hahaha I would if I could! I think theres some wait rule abt quittin' tho. 4 weeks or god knows.

― Trayce (trayce), Wednesday, 21 September 2005 07:27 (twenty years ago)

honestly, you'll only lose out if you don't, and you can then backdate housing benefit etc if necessary.

"you may feel a slight sting. That's pride, fucking with you. Fuck pride. Pride only hurts, it never helps."

Word, Marsellus.

xpost - just don't tell them you quit! tell them you got made redundant, or reached the end of your contract or whatever.

― CharlieNo4 (Charlie), Wednesday, 21 September 2005 07:30 (twenty years ago)

Can I admit here that I like those office balls? They're fun to bounce around on (admittedly I don't sit on one, I just act like a child with other peoples')

I pointed out to Frances last night during Nighty Night that the contracts woman who'd come to my department from hers has the mannerisms of Cath (Rebecca Front's character). She then said she'd always thought Tr1c14, who worked in her department at the time and still works there now, was effectively a model for Jill (Julia Davies' character) and so why was I complainging when she had them both, at the same time.

I contemplated asking her if she was Angus Deayton, but thought better of it.

Stinkyman is back. My boss asked me if he'd been okay last night because she thinks he is a bit standoffish this morning. I said "no no, he was great last night, fantastic, yeah, tee hee, he was in FINE spirits."

Shit, if he complains my ass is grass.

― Rumpie, Wednesday, 21 September 2005 09:44 (twenty years ago)

he still stinks? the penny didn't drop?

― g-kit (g-kit), Wednesday, 21 September 2005 09:49 (twenty years ago)

Shit, if he complains my ass is grass.

how? you have veritas on your side. he honks. end of story. complain about him first, just to be on the safe side :)

― grimly fiendish (grimlord), Wednesday, 21 September 2005 09:51 (twenty years ago)

A couple of us have done, the boss seems unwilling to deal with it. He's really good though, taking stuff in really well compared to the last failed trainee.

Surely he won't complain, what would he say?

"I stink of b.o and she was discussing it?"

― Rumpie, Wednesday, 21 September 2005 10:11 (twenty years ago)

this is a bit funny but you're a dick

― RJG (RJG), Wednesday, 21 September 2005 10:12 (twenty years ago)

aw, come on, RJG: if anyone's at fault here, it's rumpie's friend - the one who sent the e-mail. (not to mention the dude who doesn't wash his pits.)

i still bear the olfactory scars from a geography teacher who honked to high heaven, and therefore appreciate rumpie's dilemma.

― grimly fiendish (grimlord), Wednesday, 21 September 2005 10:35 (twenty years ago)

When I started at my last job on a helpdesk, it was populated with goths and stinky roleplayer nerdboys, and I am not exaggerating. Some of the guys had no social skills. And hey, thats cool - but not only did they pong but some FARTED all day long.

More than once, our team leader sent out an email saying "guys (and I mean GUYS) - wash and use deoderant or I'll start NAMING NAMES".

― Trayce (trayce), Wednesday, 21 September 2005 10:51 (twenty years ago)

It's true though, I am a dick, I should never have discussed him with her. I know we all talk about our colleagues, especially the odd ones, like the guy with the lightsaber etc, but yeah, I'm a dick for mentioning it to someone who doesn't realise how important my job is to me.

Shoot me, hang me, whatever.

― Rumpie, Wednesday, 21 September 2005 10:51 (twenty years ago)

Eh Rumpie I wouldnt worry. To be honest I did like your friends STOP READING HER MAIL STINKY email :D

― Trayce (trayce), Wednesday, 21 September 2005 10:56 (twenty years ago)

Come on, who of us wouldnt want to know if we ponged?

― Trayce (trayce), Wednesday, 21 September 2005 10:56 (twenty years ago)

it's not the ponger knowing, that's the embarrassment, but the pongee

― RJG (RJG), Wednesday, 21 September 2005 11:09 (twenty years ago)

I find it hard to believe that smelly people really don't know that they smell

I think that I think that they must just assume that no-one else will notice

― RJG (RJG), Wednesday, 21 September 2005 11:12 (twenty years ago)

you're not a dick, rump; heaven knows, I have said much worse, than this, (I'm pretty sure you probably have, too) but, usually, only when the person seems to be actively asking for it, rather than unactively washing themselves

you're mistake, though, was letting him find out (1. he smells & 2. people talk about his smell), in a dicky way

― RJG (RJG), Wednesday, 21 September 2005 11:17 (twenty years ago)

it was your mistake, of course

― RJG (RJG), Wednesday, 21 September 2005 11:18 (twenty years ago)

Oh RGJ, yr pedantry ist clevar ;P

― Trayce (trayce), Wednesday, 21 September 2005 11:39 (twenty years ago)

good luck trayce!

― teeny (teeny), Wednesday, 21 September 2005 11:45 (twenty years ago)

Oh cripes. Poor guy. He's coming to train with me again this afternoon. Should I try to come up with some silly cover story for yesterday or should I bore him with inane small talk and not leave a gap for him to jump in?

― Rumpie, Wednesday, 21 September 2005 11:46 (twenty years ago)

OH FUCKING FUCK NOB FUCK SUCK WHY CAN'Y YOU EVER ADMIT WHEN YOU ARE WRONG ???!! IT DOES HAPPEN SOMETIMES YER KNOW!!!

― Ste (Fuzzy), Wednesday, 21 September 2005 12:09 (twenty years ago)

Why not just apologise and suggest (assuming he still smells) that deodroant should sort his problem?

Um, what just happened to mild-mannered Ste?

― Markelby (Mark C), Wednesday, 21 September 2005 12:45 (twenty years ago)

there's a guy here who, and for a start joins in on everybody elses conversations even tho it's nothing to do with him, adds his two-penny worth but when he gets told he's probly incorrect just cannot handle it and becomes all "oh i don't know I think you may find that's not the case blah blah i might have to check that with the official jiggery pokery company terms and conditions documents"
GOD man just accept that you can be WRONG sometimes.

― Ste (Fuzzy), Wednesday, 21 September 2005 12:50 (twenty years ago)

cuz i know y'all are just dying to know...

swiss health ball woman update!
so yesterday, i overheard the husband of the swiss health ball woman talking to another coworker (and btw, the number of married or soon to be married couples around here is absolutely pathetic--journos only associate with each other! i can count 15 couples here without thinking about it too hard) about his wife. he spoke of some sore back issues she was having. hearing this i thought, "hmm. will it mean, could it mean...?!" YES! the next day her ball was set aside for a normal office chair! she hasn't taken the ball home, but this should give me a few days of relief at least. i mean, i hope she gets her back soreness taken care of and all, but this makes me happy.

― andrew m. (andrewmorgan), Friday, 23 September 2005 16:27 (twenty years ago)

Dude... why would you even want to bring up the stinky email issue? I'm willing to bet he wants to discuss the issue even less than you. If he really did realize the email was about him why would he want to add to his embarrassment by bringing it up?

Also - WAY TO GO TRAYCE!

― Thermo Thinwall (Thermo Thinwall), Friday, 23 September 2005 17:35 (twenty years ago)

three weeks pass...

Help, I’m surrounded by people I don’t want to be surrounded by.

To my right I, have a complete headcase who talks her actions. Something like this, “I’ll just open this e-mail, proceeds to read it out, oh I’ve got another one, if I times that by that then I’ll get this ooh that’s not right”, and so on.

Opposite right is my boss who’s done everything you’ve done but better, faster or more terrible.

Opposite me I have brown nose yes man, he asks if I’ve got my stats for the team leader. Like it’s anything to do with him.

Opposite left is ok guy, but doesn’t speak, just stares.

― not-goodwin (not-goodwin), Monday, 17 October 2005 10:41 (twenty years ago)

That's work, it's supposed to be like that. Otherwise it wouldn't be work.

Not speaking colleagues are the best.

i know this but we've moved around and i used to be surrounded by better/real/fun people.

― not-goodwin (not-goodwin), Monday, 17 October 2005 10:55 (twenty years ago)

Yeah, I know, I'm trying to be see the bright side of it. :-)

― nathalie, a bum like you (stevie nixed), Monday, 17 October 2005 11:39 (twenty years ago)

one good thing about it is that i can bore the pants off ilxers with their annoyances.

― not-goodwin (not-goodwin), Monday, 17 October 2005 11:47 (twenty years ago)

i knew you just wanted to get my pants off :(

― g-kit (g-kit), Monday, 17 October 2005 11:48 (twenty years ago)

is that why you wanted to meet me at glasto, so i could actually do it?

― not-goodwin (not-goodwin), Monday, 17 October 2005 11:50 (twenty years ago)

aye, one warm can of stellar and i'm anyone's.

― g-kit (g-kit), Monday, 17 October 2005 11:52 (twenty years ago)

it's quite a big can you know.

― ken c (ken c), Monday, 17 October 2005 11:54 (twenty years ago)

i've just overheard a colleague describe an iBook as "the laptop thing that you get for an iPod so you can download music on it".
