She was probably grateful that you didn't demand she wore a really thick wooly jumper whilst doing it

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.Originally posted by TonyEnglish View PostThe 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.

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.

I now have an assistant, she is a grad. So enthusiatic. Although I am finding it irksome finding things for her to do when I dont do anything myself. I think she has figured out my modus operandi

positioned myself next to the window, so only the window cleaner could see what's on my laptop screen.. always thinkin ya seeOriginally posted by cojak View PostIf you have another chair you could wedge it under the door handle and make people knock before they come in to give you time to log off ebay (but since you're on here already that level of security might not be necessary...)
nobody would need to see me anyway, it's a fixed piece of work with deadlines in 3 weeks, plus I dont speak german so even if they did it would be a very short conversation
