I just happened to witness this gem as a non participating member. I happened to be in another department using their computer. This department was quite busy at this point due to them carrying out some extra work which they don’t normally do.

We had a young team leader in the midst who regards himself as, quite simply a ladies man. You wouldn’t feel these vibes off him straight off the bat, but he can be very entertaining. Also the companies’ cleaner is a very good looking woman. Not something you would expect but it just happens to be the case. She walked in and kind of roamed around the office. After the niceties hello’s and hi and what are you guys up to, our man went into his stride.

“Oh there is some extra over time work happening in our department. Fancy doing a few hours?” he said.

(I know it doesn’t sound like game talk but trust me you have to start somewhere).

She replied “… doing that?”
He replied enthusiastically “Yeah!”
“I can’t think of anything more boring.” She replied very unenthusiastically.
He took a moment, “Hey don’t say that, you’ll be working with me. How can that be boring?”
“Exactly what I meant, I can’t think of anything more boring than that!” She replied as everyone in the room burst out laughing as the poor boy looked on deflated.

I had arrived into work early that particular day. I was on a run of arriving early. With the rest of the group, arrived the administrator. He looked as he normally does except for two bits of tissue paper that were stuck to his face. They weren’t particularly large bits of paper but quite small.

After he sat down and taking sneak looks. I quickly figured he had stuck bits of paper over cuts he’d suffered, obviously by shaving in the morning. It looked very odd to be walking into work with bits of paper stuck to your face. I didn’t realise people still did this and even if they did, I’m sure they don’t walk into work and expect everyone to take them seriously.
