Be Excellent To Each Other

Oh yeah, it's not only Grim... that got it wrong then. I totally misread that.

Are you longest serving employee (other than the owners/bosses, natch) ?

My 10 year anniversary is in January, that's a third of my damn life. Wouldn't change a minute though.

Two weeks ago I left a company I'd been at for ten and a half years. Being the clueless new guy fucking sucks.

Fourteen years here next month.

I've been in my current job for over two years but I couldn't find the nay thread so I'll have to put it here.

Our place gives you three months off on full pay when you get to 10 years.
I've been here over 10 years in total, but left and came back, so the clock got reset, the bastards.

Second. One of the scripters beat me by a month.

Invited to a ball by a lass I'd met ten minutes prior.
Still got it.

Your amazing gift for modesty?

I have a new job... Kov will now be the international man of mystery...

Congrats!

Still Hp, the one i was talking about at the BBQ

yes I was drunk I think

You're now HPs official transvestite model? Congratulations!

Hey I'm the international one here!


Spoke to my boss today said to him I'm moving to another city where they have a restaurant too he said ok and called the boss there, looks like I've got a job while I'm studying.

Yay Nic!
Is your disguise as good as his!

My yay is that Russell took me on a surprise mini-break to where I grew up. I cried a bit. It's so nice and unchanged, and quiet. Apart from the brutal murder the night we got there in the very spot that we walked to so that I could re-live my memories. But apart from that.

Then today we went to Whipsnade. I waved at Grim... When we went by

I look good in a dress...

B...but you didn't wave at me? I live right by Whipsnade!

We only wave at people we've met. Come to the cottage.

:FUCKINGTHIS:

Except in Zio's case, without the "fucking", lest the newspapers continue to bang on about a chuffing baby boom.

Oh, I didn't know! Why weren't you at the zoo, then??

Wait, you brutally murdered someone?

Going to Otley for lunch! YAY! AND being driven back! YAY!

Two people. One a while ago and another to relive the memories.

Wasn't me, guvnor, honest onions.

I've become utterly convinced I've totally done the right thing with this job lark. Just starting my second week now with this Apple Reseller and I'm absolutely loving it here. Really nice working environment, really friendly people, very professional level work and service they do. I've been issued a MacBook for the time being to get me started here before I get a more permanent computer, so I spent the weekend re-acclimatising to OS X. I forgot just how much I like it, to be completely honest.

I've so far spent my days here in the workshop testing and repairing fabulously expensive Apple computers - this morning I had a MacBook Pro with Retina display in, equipped with a 512GB SSD as it's primary hard drive. I may have spent longer than absolutely necessary working on it. Having to give it back to the customer was extremely tough. This job is giving me terrible gadget lust already.

Such awesome news!! Really glad that you're enjoying it so much, it makes such a difference when work is satisfying like that

My lovely man took me on a surprise night out to see Derren Brown last night Pretty much the most amazing thing I've ever seen!! The guy is a genius, and his honesty about 'magic' and 'tricks' is so refreshing. He swore us to secrecy about the content, so no spoilers I promise, but if anyone can get cancellation tickets to see it this week (it's the last week) then OMG DO!!

Just won a cricket bat for being awesome at fantasy cricket.

I'm fourth in the overall leaderboards too, so could conceivably pick up the main prize!

I went to see that last week with the missus. Whilst queueing at the bar before the show, I couldn't help but notice a giant of a man patiently looming behind me waiting to be served. When I turned to look, it was Stephen Fry!

Awesome show though, wasn't it? Still can't work out how he did the finale.

I haven't changed my team since the 2nd ashes match.

I don't know if half my Aussies are playing or not?





Malc

I'm going with "Not playing"

Arf!

Malc

Epic! Double whammy of awesomeness

Agreed, no bloody clue but it really was spectacular

I love living in a world where my friend took up pole dancing classes for fitness or somesuch hnd her husband said "You keep it up, darling", then they buy a pole for home use and now she dances and then the photos are put on facebook and I will keep liking these photos because everyone wins.

The girls downstairs have a stripper pole. Inexplicably I have yet to be invited in to provide constructive feedback.

I'm surprised, given how loving and kind they are as neighbours

Right?

It's almost as if their lack of invitation makes them sound selfish or unfriendly. Tut tut, how could you!

(Rather amusingly, my phone just autocorrected tut to tit)

The in-built heuristics noticed you were replying to Craster and went with the most likely substitution.

I shall get us some cheap suits, laminated badges, you a couple of ipads, and we will be marketing people and say "disruptive communication" a lot and then we can see their boobies.

Just like his phone has started autocorrecting "cat" to "Kat" (my nickname).

Craster, we communicate via phone too much.

Nonsense.

I fear they might recognise me even through such a fearsome disguise. Also, what most guys imagine aside, I'm fairly sure that girls in a flat on their own don't actually, y'know, strip when utilising a stripper pole.

I've been put in charge (with another colleague) of organising the work Christmas party!! *bounce* This is going to be sooooo much fun

My lesbian neighbours got me a Rolex for my birthday...

WTF?

Next you'll be telling me there's no naked pillow fights!

Awesome.
