Oh I do so sometimes love being techincally the only employee at my place.
At least I only have to put up with the teachers for 45 minutes at a time before the next one comes in |

I have alsorts of issues at work, but all related to 1 girl that no-one gets on with. She's pregnant so going on maternaty soon but she treats it as an excuse to be a b*tch and bloody illness at a drop of a hat! Very frustrating! Was quite amusing today though since it's got so bad now, we had a "team building" exercise during our team meeting. We had the HR manager in with us who started on a 15 minute rant about how people can be so stupid as to hurt their own career and their own reputation by being unprofessional and shouting at people, while not realising this same lass had done this countless times recently Strangely, she never said a word

Cram yourselves with Fresh veg & currys & then don't have your early morning poo before you go to work. Then all morning hold it in but let out silent sewer smelling poo farts. Just before dinner like 2 minutes before announce in your Loudest voice that it was you & that now you are going to have a big dump, Then Whistle as you wander off to the loo. When on the loo make Loads of noise by singing at the top of your voice & remember to hit the porcelain with plenty of mud. Then don't flush & walk back into your office/work place & announce that you have just had a Marvelous crap that was almost spiritual but tell them not to worry as you haven't flush so they can pop in for a look.
Whilst they are all wondering whether you are joking you bring out the Clincher & that is Pics of you baby hippo on your moby which you happily wave in everybodys face. That should do it |

Hmm, JSB you've described what we do in the office most days anyway! (except perhaps the polaroids)

Pats working from home.
There were a couple of guys that I had to deal with that really pished me off. One guy would start sentences "I don't know much about [insert topic]" and then go on a 5 minute talk about what he thought. If you corrected him (as I often did) he'd turn round and tell you you were wrong. Cut a long story short both of them made the 'career limiting move' of pissing off a VP (one of the top 50 people in a company of 67000) and they were gone very quickly. Their replacements are both excellent chaps who I get on with very well. |

We have lots of know it alls, piss takers (which is fine when it's in a jokey way, but when it comes to taking a mile when we give them an inch it's not...), abdication of responsibility - my biggest pet hate I mean FFS people take the initiative and get it done , people who refuse to cooperate... oh the whole nine yards.
It's funny isn't it, when you look back at your school days and you see fully grown adults behaving in exactly the same way. It's quite worrying. I mean I don't mind a bit of tom foolery (in the right place/time) and people having fun, but when it's time to be professional I expect 110%. Though it doesn't matter how many times you remind people, it's in one ear out of the other. However I have backup up my sleeves. They've now ll been trained, they've signed off their training records, they've also accepted the responsibilities they now are aware of, they've been given 30 days notice of changes in procedure and the requirements that are expected. Furthermore the union have also agreed that all that we're doing is fine, so we have their backing, and we shall be doing "unseens" i.e. covert monitoring of their jobs to make sure they're doing it properly etc - which is perfectly allowed and legal. Oh I'm going to nail so many of them to crosses I can't wait. I might even set fire to the cross MUHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHA HAHAHAAHAHAHHAHAAHAHAHAHHA Ahem... Sorry... my satanic management style got the better of me just now...

JSB I think you read my mind sometimes
Noticed my fumes were a bit chokey this morning so I decided not to have a poo and inflict it on my workmates instead. My sphincter is like a clenched fist at the moment - in fact I'm sure it's visible on my face and I'm risking filling my boxers - but I think it's going to be a worthwhile day
