Anti social Permies

[Peoplesoft bloke]

If anyone invited me to a ******* "fuddle" at work there would be a lot of dead people around.

No not another pop at Fatty Arebukle not making the Christmas do last week but why are some permies miserable buggers? Entire office is in a meeting room at the fuddle, all except one sole permie eating his lunch on his own in the break out area

Considering all the folk here banh on about not wanting to eat or socialise with the permies, why would it be a surprise some permies share the same mentality?

Maybe he's an introvert and/or shy rather than anti-social, maybe he prefers reading a book to making vapid small-talk. Why don't you go say hello?

Its MF we are talking about here. He needs to speak out loud as he counts.....

Just because I was shouting 1,2,3 as I punched you in the face last week doesn't mean I'm stupid.

[eek]

That could be upto 31 if you use base2

I may be wrong but the number of contractors in the fuddle could be counted on one hand....

If I'd wanted to have dinner with a bunch of middle aged, geeky contractors passing cheap, infantile gifts to each & who would fawn, laugh & gurn over my every word I'd go down to the canteen and sit with my team.

Hope that's clear now.

Maybe they are quite happy except when you are there.

I seem to remember from your last annual review "if you see two people chatting and one is miserable, SimonMac will be the other one".

The only person I ever heard use that word before was my mum. Thought she'd made it up tbh. It was only ever used to describe a buffet at christmas time.

Re the permie - are you sure it's not a contractor enjoying his foie gras and bollinger whilst you lot trough through the aldi pork pies and own brand pringles?

[NickFitz]

They're permies. You'd be miserable too if that was your lot in life

Stop eating lunch facing the mirror on the wall and go join them then.
