I eat breakfast at my desk but i make sure I get in early enough to eat 'in my own time'. I also eat lunch at my desk and constantly get interrupted, so I'm not concerned if breakfast spills in to work time (metaphorically). I also work late most nights (by choice).

We used to have a khunt who would trot in at 9 and head straight to the kitchen to make his breakfast. he never started actually doing any work before 10am and would always piss off to get changed into his cycling gear for the cycle home at 4.30. He was then shocked when his contract wasn't extended. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OLAS Posted February 3, 2017 Share Posted February 3, 2017 Misophonia is a nightmare to have in an office environment. Worst thing just now are the two eCig smokers. It sounds like perpetual straw slurping from an almost finished paper cup. Then the fandans who can see your screen with reams of code, can see you're in deep concentration and coding away yet still want to ask inane questions. Email me or catch me at the coffee machine, ffs. It takes a good 15 minutes to get tuned into that train of thought again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Topcat Posted February 4, 2017 Share Posted February 4, 2017 stupid wee lassies just out of uni that are billed as the new 'stars' who take on jobs/projects, f*ck them up totally start to finish and then point the finger at everybody else for not helping them - look mr. boss I'm shouting loudest and crying so I know you'll believe me meanwhile all the rest of us have to pick up the pieces and complete their tasks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mindimoo Posted February 4, 2017 Share Posted February 4, 2017 ypu may want to cross reference this with the other thread and have a 'cheeky' something that you describe as something else to dull the pain ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You should, maybe, be a bit more concerned about what you are eating, rather than where you are eating it? Whatever it is, it seems to be turning your feet green.

daviebee Posted February 6, 2017 Share Posted February 6, 2017 Where I used to work there was a complete ringpiece of a supervisor, a good software engineer but just one of these guys who shouldn't be near other people never mind placed in charge of them. He'd start every sentence, and I mean EVERY fkin sentence with "Ummmmmmm..." He'd appear at your desk like the background noise from a fridge. Even worse was the fact he'd never simply use the word "the". It was always "theeaaaaa..." or "theeummm..." On a really hellish day you'd get the 3 of them together - "Ummmm, theeaaaaaaa, theeummmm report for the project is due..." Used to drive into work wondering if that'd be the day I finally levelled the tw*t. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

giblet Posted February 7, 2017 Share Posted February 7, 2017 Feckers who go down to the Canteen at 11.45am to beat the queues to get cups of soup etc then take an hours lunch at 1pm. Cereal eaters in the morning taking all the milk out the fridge. People saying same joke about "I'll have a vodka" when asked if they want a drink. Part timers moaning like the three bears "who has been sitting on my seat? etc" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also they have agreed set of sick days. They have the cheek to slag off our holiday allocation as well. Whenever they come up with that, I tell them they should have embraced Socialism after the second World War like every other civilised Country and they would have decent holidays.

What about smokers, the ones that take a full hour lunch, then go for a smoke before they go back to work and seem to believe they are entitled to additional or extended breaks to facilitate their smoking. (although the sort that are constantly waving around some USB powered smoking laser pen are just as bad!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We did that about 10 years before the SG smoking ban. We were visionaries ahead of our time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Parklife Posted February 7, 2017 Share Posted February 7, 2017 Anyone who mentally logs every hour of work they do and comes out with pish like "i stayed late yesterday so i'm going home early today" probably doesn't work hard enough anyway.

Lol, a couple of weeks ago this actually started a full on fist fight in my place which I had to break up. Fortunately it was 6 in the morning and we were the only 3 on duty, no management about so we kept it hushed, hope they don't listen back to the tapes as everything in our place is audio recorded.
