Ya, a bird at work tried that trick with me before, but I farted in her face half way up.
Just overheard a cringe work conversation:
1st guy (in a lighthearted tone): ‘So, what are you dressing up as for Halloween?!?!’^
2nd guy (quick as a flash and in a mock serious tone): ‘A banker - you can’t get anything scarier at the moment.’
1st and 2nd guy: engage in laughter and walk off
^ I added the exclamation marks as I felt it appropriate given the tone the question was delivered in.
The buzz word at the moment appears to be “Toxic”
Started off a few weeks ago with “toxic loans” but now today I’ve seen IT Data described as “toxic”.
disgusted with my self, but today in a meeting I mentioned ‘helicopter views’…
If the meeting was about buying helicopters then you’re fine. Otherwise, I’m afraid you’re a cunt.
Classic line there from one of the team on the stroll to the deli for lunch -
“There’s a lot of fires need putting out right now but I’m afraid we only have the capacity to handle the big ones at the moment”
Yesterday I uttered the line…
‘There is currently too much focus on colation compliance.’
is also referred to
‘… the need for a unified approach, we muss stop working in silos’
But fuck it, the yanks love that shit.
I think you’re beginning to enjoy this HB.
ahy yeah… lot to said for being an coont every now and then.
if ya cant beat them, join them.
“CG,a number of your colleagues have raised the issue of your personal hygiene”
I hate when they use that phrase
Has anyone had to test the water recently?
No, but one of my co-workers had to suck it and see recently
He probably didnt have his ducks in a row Fran.
This game might be a laugh in meetings or conference calls:
One from earlier between two bosses here dicussing a potential new client:
‘I mean it’s not an open goal. Work has to be done to secure it.’
Some people are just retards. I prefer the Michael O Leary style of getting things done.
No bullshit

Might try this while watching the Apprentice tonight…
I’ve just got an e-mail introducing a new colleague who apparently “helped move the needle on spend penetration” in her previous role. Grrrr
“By introducing that new product we’d be cannabalising our own market” -
was impressed with that one
“Phone tennis”
Some gimp rings another gimp who isn’t available and has to leave a message. Gimp 2 returns gimp 1’s call only to find gimp 1 is unavailable and has to leave a message. The same thing happens a couple of times. Eventually the two gimps get to speak and gimp 1 goes “ah finally got you, bit of phone tennis going on there for a while” followed by fake laughter. Fuck off you sad cunt.
