"morning" "morning" "morning" "morning" "morning" "morning"

No. I ignored myself when I came down for breakfast this morning.

Who said that?

[norrahe]

Obligatory in cloggers, also considered polite to introduce yourself to everyone ( yes, everyone) in the office where your desk is when you first start.

[SimonMac]

At the moment I can because i'm at the crappy desk by the main door. I merely have to say morning after someone greets me. (and if I like them point out where the cakes are hidden)

You coming clean as a receptionist?

[BillHicksRIP]

I rarely speak to anyone around me as I have work to do. Unfortunately, every permie around me talks on and on about running, fishing, the Olympics, car-parking, those off-shore clowns...the list goes on. One PM spent his day moving from desk to desk talking about various Olympic topics the whole day. Mind boggles.

Was often the first in the office anyway - most of the staff use to come in after 10:00 anyway and did not like to disturb me. It was a more of an ' afternoon', 'afternoon' office. The joy's of public sector.

Is your place a "morning" place or can you get to your desk without these meaningless salutations?

Try a French office. You must shake hands with everybody the first time you meet them every day. But you should not do it a second time in one day, so you may end up discussing whether you have already shaken hands today or not.

I sit around in me undies scratching me nuts. Sometimes I get so tied up with work, that I'm still in me undies when the missus come home from work.

and then the sarky comments begin, let me tell you in no uncertain terms.





God Im bored

Older folk will greet you on the street. Entering/leaving a lift requires a morgen/grüezi and adieu/aufwiedersehen/schöne tag. Otherwise, it's just once as entering the office.

Worst was France as Ignius pointed out.

Be thankful you don't work in France. I've heard you have to kiss everyone on both cheeks every morning all the way to your desk.
