Rules of office life number 7: it's the new boy's fault.

Sorry, NickFitz. You did it.

I thought it was the last person to leave?

And I've been having a deep and meaningless discussion of British history with one of the students...

From the Beaker Folk, through the Celtic invasion, the Romans (what did they ever do for us?), the RomanoBritish, the Angles, Saxons, and Jutes, the Vikings, the Norman Invasion, the Vikings again, the Spanish Inquisition (no one expects it apparently), Edward I, Hammer of the Scots (and the Welsh, though we don't get a mention), James I & VI, Napoleon, Wellington, Nelson, Hitler & Stalin.

So there.

Cromwell? The Interregnum and the Irish? Fascinating period.

Do I look like some numpty from an IT department

Checks avatar ... too young to be in work, scruffy beard, blank expression, in need of a proper haircut, iPod-affected ears ...

... yep. Standard issue helpdesk bod.

The only discrepancy is your ability to spell.

106 to the 3k...

[NickFitz]

Looks like it might rain shortly - I think I'll pop out for lunch before that happens

See you in a bit - wonder if the printer will be fixed by then

[BrowneIssue]

Switch it and then switch it back on again.

I watched the IT Crowd V1.00 and V2.00, so I know these things.

And watch the print job start again from page 1...

18k appears to be getting ever closer...

not appears - it is!

Tidy your desk.

See how much stationery you can collect from the cupboard.

Go for a kip in the loo.

Update your LinkedIn profile.

No - it's a mess for a reason

What cupboard? all my stationary is on the shelves in front of me

Can't I use my bedroom for a kip?

Haven't got one

[BrowneIssue]

It's the one with the "PRINTER IS BROKEN" notice (written in blue marker pen on a sheet of A4) taped over the control panel

And why do they never, ever disable the poxy print queueueue when they know it is knacked?

Instead they'll purge the queueueue when the printer is fixed.
