Office observations

A few weeks ago I moved to a new location alongside a corridor, separated by a glass partition.

There is a small group of people who walk backwards and forwards along this corridor 50-60-70 times a day I sh*t you not. I'm beginning to think they walk to the end of the corridor then turn round and walk back - that's their job :? One has just gone past while I'm typing this :)

Sound familiar?

    This is a very good ploy. Especially as the canteen is the other end of the building. There are normally quite a few people sitting around there with bits of paper or clipboards.

    *grabs clipboard and goes for coffee*

    They are either carrying a bit of paper or on the phone. Favourite phrase as they walk into the office is 'Yes I'm just walking into the office now as we speak' :)

    edit: the original one has just gone past in the other direction and two of the others have also just gone by :lol:

    I only have one window, and there was a whole load of noisy buggers on the other side of it yesterday. ALL DAY.
    They did bring lots of cake though.

    Yehaa trumps.

    When I worked at staples, if I was hungover, I would just sit "reorganizing" the ink cartridge section over and over again. Took them 9 months to catch on to the fact I never did anything except pretend to look busy every time someone walked by.

    Have you heard about the stuff they've got planned for next series? Sounds a bit far-fetched, but should make for good television.
