Paedophile.

MLH1! You're on boards? You never told me!
You never let me finish the story about the gravel!
Now the gravel you get outside the cities, thats the good stuff, they only use the old rubbish for the townies.

I work with 100's of boring people.
Durin work they talk about work,
On break they talk about work,
Lunch is mostly work related conversations,
Nights out are mostly filled with giving out about work.
Kill me....

I work with massively boring people. They actually care about the machinations of.........work. They talk to me about work related topics, I try to feign interest and participate in the conversation but I just cant stop my eyes glazing over. When they're not trying to bore me to death with this drivel, they are whittering on about facebook and other lightweight fluff of the modern age.

Me too, all the fcukers read is Heat and the Star.

I take to the shitters and blow a frustrated sheet of peppery shite all over the gaff to relieve the tension.

I love it when one comes back in and says "jaysus ,some fcuker has blown his guts all over the toileh" " Behharh get dem bleedin' cleanars to sorh ih ouh wha"

"Fcuker must have a dose whah"


Breaks me up every time.

Oh yeah, Im sure theres something in employment law that states every company must have one of these people.

Boring male workers seem to keep away from me because i can't be arsed feigning interest in their anecdotes.

Boring FEmale workers however tend to latch onto me because i feel compelled to be more polite to annoying women than annoying men.

These are the ones who aren't particularly bright, funny, or good looking, but have decided i might just be good enough to take home to the parents.

Yay?

But wernstrom! you are only a 6/10 at best. And that is on your good days (the days you wear those pencil skirts with the slits up the left side). And you aren't that interesting. You watch Gray's Anatomy and discuss it with people. I wonder as i hear you babbling in the background whether i could ever be truly happy with a woman who divests so much of her time in watching, analysing and being entertained by such drivel.
Surely you can see my quandry?

It's slightly damp and the wrong colour.

There's no such thing as a boring person. Your clearly spiking them with the wrong drugs, ephedrine is the best one they don't know they're high but they just don't stop moving.

i always thought they gritted the roads with salt not gravel as gravel would ruin tarmac surfaces.

Since i'm actually more like a 4/10, i'm flattered.

(and 4/10 may be self-flattery)

What bores me is when I arrive in work, switch on the computer, and certain knobends are reading the RTE website, telling anyone who is around what is the latest news on the aforementioned site..

These people keep telling me news that I have already read that morning in the PAPER or heard on the RADIO....and expect me to respond to them as if they were Anne Doyle or Brian Dobson like they had created said news script...."No Way"

I am so battle weary
The responses to the news rundowns are

1. Sometimes they get the look of I am working, no response at all and not even a lid bats...i continue typing
2. or "I read that in the PAPER this morning" so F off and leave me alone, I am trying to work look.
3. or really! and walk out of office to go to Loo or watercooler to avoid elaboration, and the force feeding of more details.

Bigger pet hate LIVE NEWS FEEDS

todays was Liz Taylors Death...
The knob in the office who broke the news from the RTE website
got said response back from yours truly "I know(and the world knew by then) I heard it on the RADIO" and the FO I am trying to work look.

They then proceeded to tell us all about Liz from wikipedia.
OMG shoot me!

Attention seeking if you ask me

Coffee and Lunch breaks are for chats!
Personally love the aul chin wag at breaks
but there is always one who tries to out compete everyone else's weekends or lives....and it usually the LIVE NEWS FEED knob

Because they are sick of your f*cking gravel story.

I would rather listen about what sort of gravel we import than mediocre stories of the weekend or about the year they spent traveling around south-east asia and "Oz".

I used to work with a guy on the Northside of Dublin City who would stand at the window and proclaim to the entire office which sort of plane was about to land in dublin airport, where it was coming from and what the flight number was. Jesus he was a boring individual.

Blazer

I like to turn it back on them...
make up the most boring story and talk in a monotone and watch as they get a dose of their own medicine.
Just the look in their eyes as they glaze over and they desperately try to escape but no chance you boring bastards..I had to listen to your crappy story so you'll damn well listen to mine

old hippy

I used to work with people in the public eye; some of them were "personalities".

I'd much rather work with the gritter guy any day.
