1 ½ pints of Addlestones cider make Nancy a very sleepy worker…..
Worked out it’s the first Friday pub trip we have had since Christmas – that’s shocking! I put my foot down last week and demanded that if Friday was now out of the question (too many people taking flexi now they have all come over to the dark side) then it should be substituted with Thursday. Then yesterday after I had screamed “FOR FECKS SAKE!” at my computer for the 17th time Gunner suggested we go today. I think everyone deserves a well earned drink at the moment.
We were trying to figure out why we had so sadly neglected this Friday institution and Kirstie pointed out the reason being we’ve all been too “frickin busy”. You know times are bad when work is stopping you getting to the boozer.
We made up for it though with a good hour and fifteen, nothing compared to the golden days of course but for us it was a small victory. I had planned to get some lunch afterwards but we had a bowl of chips and then I spent all my money on cider and well, it never happened. Since returning to my desk I have visited the ladies 4 times to pee and searched my draws and the office for things to line my stomach but it’s too little too late. I’m toying with the idea of going down to raid the vending machine but I’m also toying with the idea of leaving early which would be in 21 minutes so there has to be a choice made.
Well there’s no competition really, early home time wins every time. Plus I have sausage casserole lined up for later….along with more cider.
Sitting here in my fermented apple dazed state I have realised how tired I am at the moment of this place. Its wearing me down, and this week has only been a 3 day working week! I’m just fed up of stupid, lazy numpties who seem to spend their days planning on how to get me to waste my time running about doing pointless tasks for them. Plus mind reading. This is a skill I have yet to accomplish but still seems to be a pre-requisite for working with some of the wankers here.
“Have you not uploaded those contracts yet?”
“No because you never asked me to or sent me any information on them”
“So why aren’t they done yet?”
“Because you are a wanker and even when you do send me the list they will now go straight to the bottom of my priority list just to piss you off”
Petty? Maybe. Necessary? Yes.
And now to add to my annoyance someone in HR has just done a ‘reply all’ to a message sent round to the whole company about parking at the weekend. AND its grammatically poor.
Hi
I am to come in on Sunday 20Mar11. I will follow due process on arrival and as a heads up I will be driving in too.
Yours Sincerely
Twat from HR
Why do people do that? I don’t care if you’re coming, and neither do the 500 other people in this building! T hat’s one more email I have to delete now.
Oh hang on he’s tried to recall it. Too late loser.
Breathe Nancy, breathe.
Time to go me thinks. Sausage ahoy.
