Especially when you work in an office. There's a guy near me who honestly has not shut up for over an hour now. Really gets on my tits. I can guarantee he will go on and on until the end of the day. I, like most work in an ope plan office but there are a few individual offices as well. One guy's office is next to me and he goes on speaker phone and leaves the bleedin' door open. For **** sake the reason you have an office with a door is so you can close it for privacy. In my opinion if you want an individual office your door should be closed all the time. Otherwise join the rest of us plebs in the open plan slums.
Women moaning about not getting the same opportunities as blokes and are being held back when in fact the department they work in has a higher number of women in senior grades (including the permanent secretary) than any other in Whitehall. People coming back from meeting "important" people and banging on about it as though they've just had an audience with Jesus People who go on about their kids ad nauseum and speak about them like they're Mozart or Einstein People who insist on spending 45 minutes telling the entire office about their weekends and holidays etc. People who moan about their route into work every single ****ing day blind to the fact that we've all had rubbish journeys in People constantly talking about house prices People who spend more time talking about what they can do rather than actually bloody doing it. The "when i was at University" crowd. That's just for starters.
Would I be right in assuming that you find his conversation neither constructive nor entertaining ER?
That's very perceptive Dan. I know I talk a lot of ****e on here but you can ignore it. When you are being aurally abused in an open plan office there's no getting away from it. Now he's on the bastarding phone, the guy talks and talks don't know how he get's any work done.
Working in a greenhouse when theres not a ****ing cloud in the sky with the sun relentlessly beating down on you. I'm gonna end up looking like Kenny Miller if this keeps up.
At least you're on your feet and keeping active MD I'm absolutely scunnered with being plonked in front of a pc at work all day every day.
****in deadly though ER. Most of the poly-tunnels and greenhouses have had a steady humidity of 80-100% all day (some dick soaked most of the stock yesterday) while the main greenhouse was sitting in the low thirties all day If it keeps up my bald napper will end up having a massive cocoa bean print on it.
True, can't be pleasant working in those conditions. That guy has finally shut up, most likely because he's left the building, he's probably speaking away to himself now.
Birds basically. The most annoying was an Aussie one who sat opposite me, tarty, loud voice, flirted with every bloke who walked past in a cringeworthy way.
The simple fact of being in an office with the sun absolutely hammering it down outside Usually get away good and early on a good friday, not this year 4 ****ing 30. Cheers for the half hour off the working week ye miserable git
Most jobs would be alright if all human contact could be avoided. This particularly applies to all customer-facing roles.
