Monday is so moved on it's scary

[octophone]

Morning all.

There's still lots of Hallowe'en stuff on some people's desks. Apparently, there was a contest but all but one of the managers took the day off so there was no-one to judge it.

Make of that what you WILL.

A Halloween desk decorating contest?

God I don't miss work.

Someone suggested Secret Santa in the office last week. That got SHORT SHRIFT

Quick pop to the kitchenette to get some water. Crowds of predominantly middle aged women gassing about their weekends. Fuck. Off.

ONCE A MONTH WHACKY TIE DAY!!!1!

It's one of the things about the death of ties in the office and the move to "smart casual". It makes "Spot The Cunt" that bit harder. A man's choice of ties was often a superb indicator of their arsehole rating being in the upper percentages.

I haven't been into the office since last WEDNESDAY. I feel GREAT

Bit of turf warfare going on today. Quite funny.

Almost as funny as all the nominations for "this person is fabulous" prizes for last Friday still sitting in the ghost covered boxes that were supplied for them because no-one gives a toss.

Eurgh washing machine broken. Well it works but it squeaks and rumbles very loudly. Which almost definitely means doom.

 

[Kate]

Well that was a weekend.
Friday: alcoholic friend has a rant at me for having expressed my concern about him to another friend
Saturday: someone I met once briefly a few months ago messages me wanting to go shopping together
Sunday: salty loser at the pub quiz tries to guilt trip us into splitting up our team next time
Fun times!

Fucks sake. I knew the guy killed in the pub crash at the weekend.

I didn't like him at all, but still I know a lot of people who are going to be devastated.

 

[AGinAg (37)]

I really don't know how to feel about this. I knew him much much better than say when Nick died in the Bataclan which devastates me to this day, but liked him far less than my friend who died of cancer last year, which was heartbreaking but I coped with pretty well on balance.

Dead friend rate

 

[Kate]

Shit. I see they're currently treating it as murder.

 

[AGinAg (37)]

Yes indeed. If that's the case, then that's two people I know who have been murdered.

 

[AGinAg (37)]

Just found out my friends were in the pub and his girlfriend was the one that was injured. Devastating stuff.
