Say "Hi Suity, nice to meet you!"Originally posted by Pondlife View PostJust parachuted in at a new site because they suspect existing guy is out of his depth. I rock on up to the hot desk area next to the vending machine and the toilets as that where he's usually based. I spotted him straight away.
He's spread all his crap over all three desks. There's mountains of tissue boxes and cold/flu medicines, imodium, preparation H etc It's like someone blew up a Boots. The other side of is him is a huge pile of 'for dummies' books.
I did try to engage him in conversation to find out how much of a messwe'reI'm now in but he just stares unblinking at his browser. He seems to be mostly looking up disease symptoms on google and posting on mumsnet.
I don't have the heart to tell him he's about to get sh1t-canned.
What should I do?
