I had my own office for about 2 years at GSK - I even had an assistant for a while who seemed to spend all day colouring Excel spreadsheets. I used to keep the aircon on super cold to stop people comming in and to chill down cans of coke.

Those days are long gone now though.

The assistant I had was an Aussie. Looks wise she was ok but she had a horrible whiney voice which bugged me so much that I used to wear my headphones in the office - she never sussed that they weren't plugged.

Once dated a Kiwi lass. Her accent was horrifying, but she went like a train, so I delayed the inevitable bin-off for a few months.
