My work mates think I'm Nutter

keynesian

I'm always on bebo, boards and I'm sure I'll find some new web toy soon, in work. I'm always asking them to spell works, odvously not enough. Telling them what poeple are saying, and my reactions. Maeve (co-worker) says she's the voice of reason in the "real world", and I shouldn't get cought up in a non-real world.

Look at her like she seems to be hallucinating and explain to her very slowly that the computer on your desk is real and the people writing posts are real people.

I would suggest
you take the time to review what is the inter policy for the company you are woking for,
cut down on your sugar and caffine intake,
use http://dictionary.reference.com/
and get yourself a www.livejournal.com

I don't get it, what's the personal issue?

Spelling I think? keynesian, you can use the auto spell check add-on in Firefox 2.0. http://www.wikihow.com/Install-a-Spell-Checker-Into-Firefox Firefox will then automatically underline any words in red that are not in the dictionary, kinda like Word.

Use google.com or altavista.com to spell check words. As for people thinking your odd, my supervisor thinks I've watched too many "Slaughter of the Lambs" films, due to refrences I give, when asked about killing people. Go figure.

You mustn't have worked there long then since you're always on Boards and you only joined up in November this year.

So far I can tell you can't type perfectly, and dispite knowing you may have a problem with spelling you didn't proof read your post. So why should anyone have to correct for you when you don't even bother ? Like a lot of people I've got time for someone who makes an effort. Words like "waster" and "time sink" come to mind.

Why do you need to tell all this to your co-workers, if they were interested they could look it up on line, or maybe they could even ask you. Do you take as much interest in their anecdotes or stories as you would like them to take in yours ?

I reckon they think you're more than a nutter. As someone who sits opposite someone who doesn't even try make it look like they're working take it from me, it is very annoying seeing/hearing a colleague on the doss. Not only are they on the internet all day booking holidays for themselves, their family and friends but they disturb the rest of us from our work by asking questions about it or giving us updates. I would suggest they pull their finger out and do some work like they're paid to but I'm afraid I'll go too far and tell them exactly what I think of them!:mad:

Black Swan

keynasian... are your web babes real or surreal? I remember some philosophy bloke saying once, "If you believe something to be real, it will be real in its consequences" (W.I. Thomas). **Blue looks at reflection in computer screen** Someone appears to be there, and they are responding to your post. Then again, maybe I am just a programme from The Matrix with a ghost image on the screen?

Yes because we all know that the internet is fiction, and of course everyone here isnt real, nothing said on here is real, like people having computer problems is fiction, people listening to music is not real, none of the colleges/uni's mentioned here are real.. all part of your imagination..


seriously, read over what you said, have a think about it, then decide who's the nutter.

The responce is: "But what if all the people I know in the real word are boring narrow-minded alcoholics?"

And did Maeve herserlf say she's the voice of reason or is it your words?"

By the way, just so you know... I'm not real.

CM, perhaps your response is a tad harsh on the OP? Might there be a possibility that the spelling issue is as a result of dyslexia? If so, proofing can be difficult and time-consuming.

Are you aware that you misspelled 'despite', for instance? Surely such misspellings are trivial and don't impede on our understanding?

Did you do a search for bebo? In that case, the words you search for automatically get highlighted red.
