Starting a new job-questions

    I was not sure if this was more suited to the job section, but it's trivial so perhaps it should go here.

    Wel I'm starting work tommorow, but I have a problem what the hell can I talk to my co-workers about? It's a small shop, so I will probably be working with one or two others. God do I hate conversing with people who don't share a common interest.

    Please give me some tips of what to do. I'm not the type for idol chat.

    Don't talk about Timothy Mc Veigh.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 5,103 ✭✭✭estebancambias


    I knew someone would bring that up. I remember I brought it up in my first year in secondary school, retards didnt have a clue what I was taking about. I think people hated me from that day. It was in relgion class, you know where you talk about everything other than relgion.

    Or the NWO or any of your conspiracies.

    What about my theory that Osama is seeking refuge in the White House?

    Well I'm sure he was just the quickest to react because that was exactly what I (and I'd guess at least a dozen others) was going to say. Seriously, don't mention him.

    :D I'm giving you the benefit of the doubt and assuming you don't believe that.

    Depending on how small a shop it is, if you want to converse with your co-workers you may want to bring along this :D


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 14,575 ✭✭✭✭FlutterinBantam

    I work in the city centre, northside. Haha, no offense, you seem like a nice enough lad and all but I will not be discussing the merits of terrorists.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 5,103 ✭✭✭estebancambias


    I would have liked a an apostrophe on terrorists, but it's all good.

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 16,190 ✭✭✭✭Pherekydes


    Wear your "Down with Gun Control" t-shirt, and lobby for terrorists to be called freedom fighters. Discuss the latest mass murder and how the guy was "misunderstood".

    You'll get on grand.

    It was in relgion class, you know where you talk about everything other than relgion.

    Don't talk about religion either ;)


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 37,214 ✭✭✭✭Dudess


    OP, don't bother talking about anything! I freelance in radio so I'm regularly in offices with new people (who I will definitely see again by the way) and I just put my head down and do my work. If they think I'm stuck up - tough sh*t. It's a lot easier than forcing myself to be all chatty. After a short while, the conversation starts to flow and I always get on great. Just be natural - screw what they think of you. I guarantee they will think highly of you then.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 14,575 ✭✭✭✭FlutterinBantam


    Hmmm..... little trawl of Boards might force a re-think on that one Dudess.

    Talk about the sudoku craze that's been sweeping the country.
