hm. if i had worked in an office like that, i might not have been quite so eager to go freelance. i've never had to duck to avoid flying inflatable cacti in any professional context. (or personal, come to that.) just where do you work ?

BookishDreamer · 02-21-2009, 08:25 PM

LazyScot, are you sure you don't work in my office? I think most of those items have flown over my cube walls. To be honest, I'm typically the culprit. Haven't done paper airplanes recently...might have to try that next week. (Oh, I need to refill my bubble bottle. Bubbles!

) And in my office, if you're out of the office for a couple of days, it's like you'll return to a redecorated cube.

The web team (who are on the next desk block along from me) have a USB-operated nerf rocket gun.

We used to have a beach ball which we threw around, but it got lost one move.

We also throw pens, post-it notes, mouse balls, a 5 amp fuse and other random desk junk at each other. But no inflatable cacti (mostly I think because none of us have one)

And for some reason last year the company decided it would be a good idea to do a 12 sided calender which could be squodged flat, but had a rubber band inside it so it sprang into shape. By February most people didn't have theirs any more as they'd been used in all manner of booby-traps...

I love those rubber band cubie things. I had one that broke after a week because I kept squishing it and watching it pop back.

I'm surprised you lot manage to get any work done ...

At least I work in a normal environment, where the only things that are exchanged are dirty (and normal) jokes...

We don't need physical skills to make our presence known, we have evolved beyond that and have moved on to the verbal skills. Besides, I haven't ever seen that thing called a "cubicle", even on, what has been called on this thread, an open-plan office (which we call an office garden).

No, they are not. You hear the knocking on your door? That´s them again. They just went to get some stuff to stay another 8 weeks.

Ahh, yes, one would think so. However, when one's sister is the Antichrist, or possibly Kali, FUBAR of Worlds, also possibly regularly prayed to by DIXIEGAL, who strides across the homescape like Death aboard His Combine Harvester; and when one's mother is The Mother, The Matriarch - which even the Elder Gods tremble before, saying they're sorry and promising to call her more often - who has managed to develop passive-aggressiveness into a Weapon of Total Destruction; when one of your brother's primary skills is, through sincere attempt at helping, to unwittingly and repeatedly plunge the familial ley-lines into a Gordian ball of melodramatic yarn you couldn't slice open with a well-placed thrust of the Lance of Longinus; and when your other, absent brother - the Golden Boy with feet that have never walked a mile in anyone else's shoes - is revered as a pagan idol around which his own and a Mother's universe revolves and resolves itself into due worship...well, let's just say that it pays one's soul back in karmic insurance to employ significant contemplation of the consequences of even idly considering such murderous actions and their subsequent occultation.

The Gods aren't just a bit crazy - they're totally, farking, barking mad, and will gladly hide their body of shame with your viscera.

...but, THEY'RE GONE!

:quivers: (quivers full of crossbow bolts, that is).

Cheers,

PARTY! I was certainly there last week, whenever that was. Usual time and place? Tell Adrian to call up those "friendly ladies" who were at the next one. I'm still trying to get the concept of matching the curtains with the antimacassar.

I'm always ready for a party, or even a Party(tm whoever). Except if it is on last Wednesday - that's not a good day.
