Now, there is some ingenuity!!! I'm not sure I spelt that propper but gooda inglish neva was my fing!

That truly is a brilliant Idea though. Another good one is, if they have an optical mouse, put a piece of sticky tape over the sensor. You will soon find out how smart they are(arent)

Sorry havent read the whole thread but I'd like to add that I cant stand the turkish music that pumps from some of those VL turboes on Chapz.

It sounds like Someones in the boot getting a vasectomy without anasthetic while someone else frantically plays a Sitar in the passenger seat....

Hate it! That would **** me off in the morning. Speaking of which, i'm going to get a coffee now.... Stoopid exam study.

No, a true BOFH would take out the whole floor for allowing it in the first place.

Something like stringing a piece of cat5 at ankle hight about 3 steps down the fire escape stairs. Then remove the fire escape lighting in that area and hitting the fire alarm.
This is best done in the morning so that all the accident witness paperwork can be filled out intime for lunch and an early knock off! :evilking:

Turkish techno is BAD.
Almost as bad as being subjected to the Woolworths theme song every half an hour for 10 hours.
As well as whenever you have to call another store, or an internal helpdesk and get put on hold.
It's gotten SO bad now there is an inflatible hammer in my office to bash anyone who starts singing/humming/mumbling along.

Yep. And those two stupid women who giggle about Homeshop, and being able to "Shop in your slippers" or have a cuppa while they shop, then they giggle at the end.
Makes me wanna bash them over the head with a REAL hammer!!
And the person who decided to program non-stop Delta Goodrem should be subjected to the same fate. :jab:

Shankar... shankar... groovy.

What a top thread. At my old job we used to refer to the international roast as carpet sweepings... and yeah, always had that errie shimmer as if some mineral based oil had been included.

Oh the joys of the office with a NO MUSIC policy and an espresso machine...

Sadly, I have not yet handed in my notice. I'm thinking of letting the bastards sack me.

But then again, filling in the 8 hours a day is getting harder and harder.

The music got even worse today. I've been trying to think of something else :P

There is this little invention out these days which lets you enjoy your music, while not annoying other people...they go by the name of headphones...whatever happened to the 10's or Millions of iPods that are getting sold?

(unless it's any form of Trance/Dance/Rave...then you get the biggest speakers you can and crank it. If other people don't like it they can go **** themselves )

Ah but have you subjected yourself to the "Caterers Blend"?!?!! That is the version of the stuff that is not even fit for mixing with animal excrement and charcoal, and is sold only to the most evil of companies who wish to disembowel their staff with this blasphemous venom. :
