Reply to: New contractor who sits opposite me

[Zippy]

My "oppo" talks a lot, on the phone, to his mates and picks his nose.
I'm so lucky.

Don't borrow his phone

Would you prefer to sit opposite a nose picker/eater?

A silent nose picker would be prefrable providing there was no flicking.

This may be an alien concept but why don't you stand up, walk over to their desk and talk to them?

A) That would mean he would talk more
B) He would probably tell me he was an expert in the art of telling people to be quite
C) walking!?! with my belly!

Had a new contractor start a few weeks ago and he sits opposite me.

When he stops talking, he mumbles some cack tune over and over again.

So, if you are the new contractor and your reading this.....

SHUT THE F**K UP FOR JUST A FEW MINUTES. Please.

At least someone is following the 10 ways to freak out a permie list, have you told him you're a contractor :

1 Recite entire movie scripts (e.g. "The Road Warrior," "Repo Man," Casablanca,") almost inaudibly.

Tell him that it's all men day down the local Turkish Baths and would he like to join you.

He'll keep quiet for as long as you keep that up.

I once worked with a contractor like that, what industry are you in, and did he do a stint at Exxonmobil ?

Do try to keep up - that would involve communication with the guy... and we have established that BellyMan hasn't made any attempt at communication despite several suggestions about EMail and actually "talking"......

He constantly talks and is an authority about everything ever!

Could be the case.



I still think you're skirting round the matter.

Why not name and shame? We might know him! We might even be him!!!

Well I can gaurantee that its not me... I'm not sitting opposite a grumpy barsteward!

Maybe he measures less than 6' 8?

Not even when sent "high importance" in a large font?
