Staring at the rude boys
I had to work with a feller today for the first time in years and I was reminded of his claim to fame: He used to print out al his emails and read them on the train home.

Laughed so hard I managed to spit my mouthful of ice cream all over my table and monitor..
Worked with one like that fairly recently. He’d handwrite all his replies, and his PA would type them the following day..........

I used to work with a project manager who'd send me an email; then a minute later he'd appear at my desk asking if I got his email.

‘I’m not paid to type.....but she is’ was the daft old luddite’s usual line...........

Ahh, the email printing person reminds me of Steve. REALLY odd chap I worked opposite at an orange supermarket company, he was one of those people that was the only source of information about a particular area / system in the company, so you had no choice but to speak to him if you needed to know about it. He was American and has had some really weird jobs, he used to do lighting for Metallica or something, and then travelled the world doing it in the circus - seen the photos, this is legit. You'd think this would make him INCREDIBLY interesting. Unfortunately, his bellendery trumps all of that. In five years he never once told me about tearing it up with a metal band, nope. Instead he told me a lot, in detail and often, about a bridge near where he used to live in Florida. He has an encyclopaedic knowledge of the history of this ****ing bridge - it's just a modest 4-lane bridge over a pissy river in a shitstain American town. Technically, I should be the world's second-most expert on this bridge, if I hadn't zoned out every time he mentioned it, instead spending the time fantasising about attacking him.
ANYWAY, the truly weird thing about Steve is his travel log. Every single day he would record the time he left his house, the time he arrived at the tube station, the time he left the tube station and the time he arrived at his desk. EVERY day. He had a stack of exercise books recording his journey for almost 25 years. There is no reason behind this. He doesn't then use the information in any way. He doesn't produce graphs or stats or anything that might feasibly be useful or slightly interesting. It's just a habit. Some people smoke. Some people shoplift. This bellend writes times down in books.
To top it off, his wife is minted so he doesn't even need to work. BELL.
We had a tax 'expert' who belonged in the eighteenth century. We needed to see some workings for whatever it was, and he sent across a scanned version of a calculation he'd done - handwritten, and clearly no calculator used either with long division and all that stuff everywhere.
Obviously sent it back to him, saying can I have this in Excel format please.
What came back was the same handwritten scan, overlaid on another piece of paper where he'd clearly hand drawn gridlines in pencil.

Once worked at a large NHS site in Sussex where there had been quite a bit of IT equipment theft. So one day, one of the maintenance guys came round with one of those invisible ink pen things that show up under ultraviolet light and went round marking all of the screens, desktop PCs etc. Just to pass the time of day I innocently asked him how he knew when his pen had run out of ink. He said he didn't know, but he was leaving at the end of the week so he was just going round writing BOLLOCKS on everything.

decent covering of snow and plenty of work-shy fops. Perfect breeding ground for Bell-Cheesery..
When will the "you wouldn't believe my journey into work" stories end?
The "we had more snow than you" competition
"it's snowing pretty bad in my village, so may need to leave now to ensure I get home"

Aren't all PMs like that? Every where I have worked they have been. I've actually started doing it myself, I'd better stop that real quick.

I smell love in the air, you don't stop going on about her.. lol. Presumably she is fit though as she goes to the gym twice a day. We need pics..
I might be able to put up with her a bit more if she was even remotely attractive, alas, no such luck [emoji20]
BC has just spent a solid five minutes trying to scrape the ‘marked down’ barcode off of a particularly CRUNCHY food packaging. This accompanied by ‘you know they shouldn’t do this when I NEED to scan the original barcode to put in ‘my fitness pal’ so I can count the calories I’m eating’ (OH ARE YOU ON A DIET YOU HAVENT MENTIONED IT TWENTY TIMES TODAY?!) This after SCOFFING a packet of prawn crackers as NOISILY as possible. Thank god I’m leaving in twenty minutes.

Just had an email from someone cancelling a meeting we were due to have 'because of the snow, it's really heavy now.......'
Less than 5 mins later messaged saying 'it's stopped now, can we still have the meeting ?'
