NJ2 Posted December 20, 2017 Share Posted December 20, 2017 I’m quite a grumpy c**t generally but “at work to work”? f**k off rugster. By all means, if you can’t get on with folk then aye, just be an adult, be civil and get on with the job. If you can have a laugh at work then it passes the day a lot quicker.On the cleaner collection front, we don’t have a collection. I don’t really speak to the cleaner (I’ll say hello, but that’s about it). A woman in the office talks to her a bit, it’s very forced and quite cringey imo, but she got a wee miniature of Malibu and shot glass as a present. It’s ended up with me as I’m not particularly fussy when it comes to alcohol. Upshot, saved myself forced chat and still got the reward. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WeAreElgin Posted December 20, 2017 Share Posted December 20, 2017 The only collection I'd want to do for the cleaners is a strip of valium as they are all complete torn faced c***sNext you'll be leaving a present for the security guard.. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you and Rugster want to dick measure about who the biggest boss man is please do it via PM thanks. No surprise you don't want to talk about measuring. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Widge Posted December 20, 2017 Share Posted December 20, 2017 Does the fact I’ve got an Xmas tie on today, albeit a very subtle one mean Rugster will hate me? Cause I’m ok with that. What I can’t abide by is people decorating their desks with tacky, cheap shite. Luckily we’re not allowed to and given its 90% males in the office, none of us care greatly about Christmas. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 1st ever time on P&B where the standard response 'Photos or GTF' is not an acceptable response. Just no. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just had the email round thanking everybody for their contributions - they raised £88.00 for our 2 cleaners which is mainly being spent on vouchers. They are hardly in the office so I think myself who is in here almost 40 hours a week should be due about £300 worth of vouchers. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed - Debenhams vouchers is what they will be getting. Handy if the cleaners live in Aberdeen but if they live anywhere outwith the city then it's a slight pain to use them. I can't complain too much since I didn't contributed I suppose 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Silvio Posted December 20, 2017 Share Posted December 20, 2017 I work in an analytical function with about 10 or so others. We have one bank of desks in an operational area of about 500. This month we've had to deal with every desk being decorated, a festive raffle every day, a daily advent calendar reveal where someone wins an hours holiday or something and a floor wide secret Santa. We sit in the corner, at undecorated desks, running code and wearing headphones all day. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
