Random thoughts III

Petrol. Lol.

Actually, that's so much more elegant-sounding than "gas".

A couple of months ago my friend, Gareth, thought it would be hilarious to send a really inappropriate email to the only other lesbian on the department. Which was really awkward because she has a little crush on me and I'd already let her down gently. Then an hour later she text me asking me out for coffee. Oh dear...

Poor girl. That's a mean and childish prank your friend pulled. I always hated when people pulled crap like that in school.

IKR!? She'll be fine though, we're friends anyway, I knew her before I started working here. She asked me to make a promise that I would never tell anyone about what happens 'on the scene' because she's done some pretty embarrasing stuff. Lmao.

The email stuff though, people do it all the time. Some very dodgy emails have gone out to my team recently. One was about piles and the other was about a pregnancy. Silly people should lock their computers. Annoyingly, it only happened to me because I was helping someone with something and Gareth sent it while my back was turned.

Yeah, we call it petrol and diesel. *shrug*

I always had to lock my computer, so people couldn't see the inappropriate jokes, that were bouncing back and forth between me and some of my friends who worked in our head office! Usually about whichever ridiculous policy had been put in place, that would ultimately be withdrawn after about 5 minutes lol. Still if anyone read those, me and a few others would have probably been fired....

I don't think anyone ever tried to send anything from my account though? That said I was the boss, so they probably wouldn't. The only person that could have, and had all my passwords etc, was also my flatmate, and he found it far more fun to post things on my facebook if I walked away from my laptop, and humiliate me on a more social scale

Funny how some people never grown up, though.

Some of my coworkers at both of my jobs are just as bad. Sometimes it's funny and sometimes it's just not.

Cute new girl at my evening job tonight, BTW.

Page 69! Lol.

Is 69 the magic number?

This is making me laugh .... I'm trying so hard to reign in inappropriate responses..

Seriously though, I'm not sure? I'll go check

EDIT: I think it's down to number of posts rather than pages, but we're mighty close.

*shrug* It's A magic number. I don't know if it's THE magic number.

Eye candy always makes a shift go faster.

It did make it a little better. She's very smiley. And also very short (like you) and she kept reaching up nearby me to try to put things away, but struggling to reach and I just couldn't help chuckling a bit as I had to help her.

I hate Facebook. If anything is ever posted on my Facebook most people think that someone has hacked my account. Lol.

That old chestnut... You lot need to stop making me laugh out loud in work. People will start talking about me. For other reasons than they already do.

^ Sorry buddy! I'll try, I promise!!

I kinda like the idea of you laughing out loud in an office full of people though!!

*tries to look unimpressed but fails miserably* Luckily most people are on the phone so no one really pays attention to what I'm doing.

I'm not really into Facebook either. I hardly even go on it, but I went on it today to get pics from my brother wedding, and while I was on I approved some friend requests, and suddenly this guy I hung out with a few times about two years ago was messaging me asking me all these questions about how I was doing and saying we should get together sometime. IDK if I want to. Lol.

I do want to use Facebook to try to get in touch with some other people I haven't talked to in while though. And maybe that girl I hit it off with at my brother's wedding.

It's funny -- you always think that people will grow out of some of these behaviours when they get out of high school -- but it seems that they never do. This type of behaviour just finds new ways to manifest itself. Having said that, you'd think people would start locking their computers!

I thought it was 990 posts/replies, but we have more than 1000 replies here already.

Btw, we move so fast here it must be really hard to keep up with this thread for people who are not here all the time. We are burning pages and pages with... nothing really? So funny. I just love it.

Just because.

God, there are so many girls named Taylor these days.

They're both named Taylor. The new girl at work and the girl from the wedding.

We're burning through pages with fun, Isabella! Not nothing. Hehe.

Just to be cool:

^ Love your avi.
