Yeah I try to put stuff like my bike helmet there so as not to provide an even surface but the bastards still find a way.

I’m also out the office a lot which means my desk gets used as the snack table whenever there’s a celebration. Means I come back to a desk full of popcorn and cakes which is both annoying and great in equal measure.

The desk I occasionally sit at has two workstations. it’s quite a tall desk, certainly taller than a table at least. One of the office chairs has gone wandering, presumably never to be seen again. The replacement is a chair from the canteen, which is far too small for the slightly taller than normal desk. This means if I have to sit at this computer, i feel like a small child sitting at the dinner table

It’s a very pungent odour isn’t it. We’ve had a lot crawl into the gaps within the walls and kick the mousey bucket.

Changed desk and my current one’s facing a wall meaning it’s a stealth operation making sure people don’t spot me being on Betfair.

Hopefully going to move to another desk soon, preferably facing away from a wall, and in time for the UK Snooker Championships.

The person who I’m sat next to is a massive bell.

When it’s sunny in the afternoon I get a right bastardful of sun right in the peepers. I do have blinds but I really resent having to shut them.

#33

Ooft this happens to me too, shines off the windows of the building opposite right into my peepers. Don’t mind dropping my blinds but they’re really shit so I have to mash them with the palm of my hand to get them to close.

how can I trust you to be my main man in the office, let alone Frankfurt, or Aberdeen?

My blinds are really badly designed and have a long vertical gap through which the sun can poke its beak. Had to seal it up with tape.

The menopausal women from recruitment sit by the windows and open them for about 3/4 of the day. I could live with it in the summer but we’re all gonna die of hypothermia in the winter.

Person next to me is permanently hot (especially when they walk in all hot and bothered after walking across the car park) so they turn on their desk fan. It is too breezy which makes me cold and I get whiffs of their deodorant or shower gel wafting over me.

Have you received training in how to lift objects? I had to do the, admittedly only 15 minutes, course even though I never have to lift anything heavier than a coffee mug. There are maintenance people here to do anything that involves lifting.

Manual Handling all that shite? Nah, not in this office anyway.

Nope - have had to in previous roles, though.

Had to undertake an asbestos awareness course upon joining my current employers in spite of not working on site and being in an office that is only about 5 years old.

Here I’ve had to do courses on everything you could think of. Mostly things that are irrelevant to my role and the building I’m working in. Everyone has to do it…
