This place is empty

In a space of 12 desks, theres 2 of us here! I am enjoying the quiet but Im also pretty bored :tired: I have no work to do!

chat?


What are y'all doing then? Working? Studying? sitting in the house in pyjamas?!

Oh my god now I have the 1st 3 threads as well as the last 3 posts!

I would leave the org if I had anything better to do!

I've only just woke up. I couldn't sleep last night.

I'm meant to be going for blood tests at the local hospital's Path Lab but I woke up in a daze, made a cup of coffee and drank half of it before I realised. I was only supposed to drink water the evening and morning before the tests.

I can't see half a cup of coffee making much difference. I dunno.

Oh dear!

I think it probably will make a difference you know, coffees strong stuff

Maybe you should call them....

Good luck anyway

enjoy the quiet, Sus and look forward to the weekend

The managing director for the whole of Europe just came down to my floor!

Maybe I should get off here...

susannah said:

Natisse said:

I think theyre planning a refurb of the office, theres people wandering around with plans discussing the colours of the logo...

but theres still noone here, and I still have zero work to do!

susannah said:

Natisse said:

Well, I typed "belfast" into the Scotsman anyway....

susannah said:

Natisse said:

Have a nice day honey, don't work too hard

susannah said:

hmmmm. I passed a local Cafe on my in way into work and the Bacon smelt soooo good. Had I not been running late and the rain pouring down I might have stopped to pick one up.

Now sitting at my desk I want HOT food NOW! Off ony holday tomorrow so nedd to start doing some work soon. Perhaps after I try my second coffee of the week.....

Im on my 2nd cup of tea of the day! Yeah you should get some food, its our treat of the week!

Enjoy your holiday!

I'm planning to go for lunch at 12:00 (on the dot!) originally I was heading to Subway but now maybe I will try to find a nice Bacon roll.

I just can't get motivated to do anything on an empty stomach. Plus I work better with deadlines so knowing I need to get everything done by 5:30 is a good motivator.

I'm downloading the new iTunes to have a look at this movie option (although I fear it could be for US only).

Enjoy the rest of your Friday in the office (sounds pretty quiet were you work though!)

g3ajg said:

It is quiet, well its not for the rest of them, but Im just the dogsbody It aint all bad - Im getting paid!

Enjoy your bacon roll! You should eat breakfast before you leave in the morning though!

susannah said:

I had a late one coming back from a concert in Milton Keynes yesterday so got up late and went to work with my two shredded wheat in my bag. I always have breakfast it's essential for me. Still hungry though.


Dogsbody is good some times as you aren't responsible for anything or any problems. People keep coming over to me this morning wanting some answers or thoughts - I am trying to do my best "not interested - I'm busy typing" impression.

Hey only 26mins before lunch.

g3ajg said:

yeah, im loving it today, talking to my buddy Mark on office msn, drinking tea, orging! noones here, noones asking me anything or looking at my screen!

My lunch is at 12.30 - but thats ok, I had a bacon roll!

Bacon

Although subway sounds appealing too

No need to rub it in

I was going to get the 6" Wheat, Subway Club (although the beef sometimes looks a little green and slimey), cheese on one side and toasted! - with a large Diet Coke. However I might visit the cafe down the road for a bacon roll.

Looking at people's profiles is this now a UK only thread?

g3ajg said:

no, its just that its only morning in the UK! The yanks are all in bed!

Yeah get a subway, sounds great

susannah said:

What did we used to do at work when there was no internet? did we actually work all the time?

We have one lady here who is famous for playing solitare on the computer, you can hear her going click click as she moves the cards around AND you can see the reflection of her monitor in the window behind her!

g3ajg said:

I feel lucky for my org time, not as much these days as I used to have. Work (and Subway) now becon!

susannah said:

I want something hot and some real food (Subway is great but a little mass-manufactured if you know want I mean). I'll let everyone know if my choice was a good one later.....

g3ajg said:

the guy across from me is exactly like that! And I dunno about your office, but he earns a shitload.

I dont know what we did, Id probably be reading the paper or some really onerous filing that wouldnt get done otherwise, if I wasnt here...

thank God for the org!

PREDOMINANT said:

I normally check the org a few times a day but very rarely post. I find it difficult to keep up with all the alter egos and people's real names but do enjoy reading along - plus I am not as funny as other with my replies

Plus I never check it at the weekend so miss out on the majority of gossip.

susannah said:

Certainly gets you through the slow days

susannah said:

I remember the original org and it used to be so funny reading the posts from "2thenines" etc It took me a while to discover that there was a load of other posts and forums than those just displayed on the home page in those little boxes!!!
