People who talk to themselves in work

[NotAllThere]

I once did a psychometric test for types of jobs. On top of the list of roles not suited, were

1) Social Worker
2) Computer Programmer.

Obviously a flawed test.

I failed a computer aptitude when I went for a job with ICL. They failed sometime later...

neither do I.

I know it was an obvious joke, but it really made me giggle.

You know that thing most people do when they come back to their desk after a particularly grief-heavy meeting or something, where you sort of plonk down in your chair with a big sigh and kind of mutter for a bit and then carry on? It's normal, it's natural, we all do it. Well, there's a bloke opposite me who does that every single f-ing time that he comes back to his desk, even if he's only been over to the photocopier or just popped out for a ciggie.

I talk to my computer when something doesn't work. Sorry.

You need to be careful of those - in one episode of Murder She Wrote, he was the murderer. Jessica rumbled him by the fact that he kept leaving little brown marks on the shoulder of the people he touched - it was the make-up that he used on his ring finger to hide the white bit.

Just watch out for that, that's all I'm saying.

Yup. Think I saw that one also.

Popcorn is one of my most fave things in the world. Its what microwaves were invented for

I'm always disappointed when I make microwave popcorn.

I think mainly cos I leave it too long to try to get maximum poppage, and end up burning it.

You can have some popcorn, just don't give out about the beer...

Oi Mary, get on with the bloody story!
