An attractive young French girl on an international internship has just started at our place. She can't be a day over 20 or 21 years old and she likes to sit near me in the lunch room because, unlike my oafish colleagues, I can remember a handful of things from getting an A in Standard Grade French.

The meeting was held at 08:30 - hardly anyone could attend because it was rescheduled during the evening and people didn't get the notice.  Also, most of the people due to attend are based in London and they generally get in later due to the length of commutes.  So the meeting was rescheduled for when workshy colleague was due in, prompting a passive-aggressive response from him when he got in.
As above, it's more work not to do the meeting than just to fucking do it.  

f**k him and his passive aggressive response. He set the meeting, he wasn’t there, it got rescheduled. That’s what happens at work.

I've watched numerous Xhamster videos that begin exactly as you describe. It's uncanny. 

Eta - from what I remember, I hope you've had a hearty breakfast.

Calling cards of morons / PTTGOYN for this pish. Why do people capitalise K and R? A regular source of pedantic annoyance to me.  

Yours faithfully,  etc

My workshy colleague has caused an epic meltdown this morning.  He was working on something yesterday, set up a follow up meeting for 08:30 this morning and then emailed everyone to say that he wouldn't be in until later as he had a dental appointment.  There was no reason to set the meeting for 08:30 and when the meeting was held most of the attendees didn't know why it had been scheduled so early.  Normally we don't have meetings before about 10am unless there are specific reasons to do so.  The only reason he has set up this meeting is so that he won't have to do it.  Its unbelievable behaviour, so unprofessional.  Half our team are now baying for him, I think management may have to step in.

My colleague followed up this by setting up a meeting for 7pm tonight to discuss this issue again.  So he set up a meeting before he got into the office then for after he'd left the office.  In addition, everyone working on this project will be out of the office so they'd either have to work late or log in from home.  Sometimes in our role you have to have meetings at different times but there has to be a justification for it, absolutely none in this instance.  Pure slopey-shouldering.  

Brutal stuff.

Everybody should turn up at his house at 7pm.

His line manager allows this?

It's hard to actually stop him doing it as we are all free to manage our own work / projects and set up meetings as needed.  There's a degree of trust that everyone is fine with, except one.
