I have a feeling lots of women probably went looking for some after 50 shades of suck.

'have a feeling,' hmmmm

I hated that shit in work.

Money for fucking birthdays though??

Take a stand on that if you can, young Bernie. I mean fuck that.

For birthdays, I'd definitely draw the line. I can't even get my head around people hiring function rooms out for 18ths/21sts.

In 2007/2008 (pre-economy crash bang boom), my old workplace had a staff member leave (to greener pastures) about every 2 weeks. It's pretty easy dodging these things especially when it's one of those "here's an internal post envelope, pass it on jobbies", throw in fuck all for the people you hate.

They got the message in my last place that I was just not on board for any of that crap.

I am here to do work, not make friends.

The envelopes stopped arriving after a while and I stopped being invited to company yokes. It felt great.

From this

There really is a Republican nut job 'look'

You can take that too far.

You're bound to meet sound people in work at some stage.

Deliberately not making friends and taking a detached hipster too-cool-for-school stance BLOWS.

I had no one in there that I had anything in common with. Everyone was about marriage, babies and golf.

Earnest conversations about their fucking commutes or whichever English soccer team they loved.

You mention you went to a movie or a gig and the general reaction was "Oh, I miss doing that stuff, isn't it well for you?" like your fucking Ma would say.

They were nice people, I'm sure. Just boring mortgage drones that you could only really have fake conversations with.

Sounds like places I've worked.

But scratch the surface and you might be surprised.

It helps if you move around - change locations / jobs.

I imagine that working with such people for years on end would be trying.

It's the types who won't give anybody a chance that I'm getting at.

A bit of boozing after work can often lead to illumination.

 

[Denny Oubidoux]

We have a strict no-work-talk rule for after work boozing, it's great. I sometimes wish people i don't work with would talk less about their jobs.

 

[Deadmanposting]

I just don't get the idea of needing to be friends with people I work with.

What's wrong with just being courteous and doing your job?

Why does everyone have to be pals?

I drink with my friends.

 

[Denny Oubidoux]

you don't need to be friends with them but maybe you could be anyway

 

[David Kronenbourg]

what's your policy on having sex with your colleagues?

I have a general policy of not shitting where I eat.

Plus who the hell knows what she'd tell and to whom.

Fuck that.

 

[David Kronenbourg]

i'm all for it. the randy emails, the inevitable awkwardness, the paranoia. good craic like.

Always live free, young Bernie.


I have talked myself out of more ass than I'd care to say.
