Work stories.... (BBx Rant Thread)
Anyone noticed how people will normally be friendly to you once you start working in a new place and somehow manage to keep their distance during break time?
 Also, people will laugh at any little odd thing, which normally it isn't even remotely funny! Here is an example. I was watching a colleague prepare a film - about to check for malaria in a sample - so I asked him about the specific test blah blah blah. He just busted out laughing and said "yeah". Gosh wtf, my question is something about malaria, it wasn't a joke or something to laugh at! Why the heck people do that? I wish people will just be normal.

Not that. The place will need a decontamination and lock down if it was that. Just a bit odd, people are unnaturally friendly.

Must be you or the people you work with  Most of my friends in Cambridge are people I've worked with who have become friends.

Early days I must say. I just hate the fake smiles/grin. It appears people are been forced to be professional even though they probably don't want to, hence the OTT/weird friendliness...

I hate it when someone calls you and asks how you are and you are expected to ask them back.
TBH I couldn't give a toss - cut to the chase - WHADYA WANT?! BB x |

I always go out with people that I work with. Took me about 3 weeks of being there before I started going out for drinks with a load of the crowd that go out locally. After about 4 months here, I think I'd slept on the sofa around a few peoples houses and vomitted in at least 2

Speaking of work stories.....There is this cute white girl....OMG, your guys never told me red heads are sexy. The question is, should I hit it? I am a bit weary giving the fact that I find the whole artificial niceness odd.
Also, some dude I saw yesterday in the staff room looked like sidewinder.....with the long hair and porn-star like pony tail!

I go bowling/cinema/5-a-side football/go-karting with people from work  we quite often just go to nando's in bluewater after work for a meal and that's about it. Christmas party is coming up on the 5th of december, that'll be a good one. We go out maybe once or twice a month in the evenings for drinks/parties but usually they're for leaving do's or birthdays.

I don't wear my hair in a ponytail, and I would NEVER read a russel brand book. I think a large portion of the forum find red-heads sexy as hell, and damn I agree with them
