oi office workers

[sonicyouth]

where the fuck do I get a briefcase at 11pm?  :x

cheers mrs spacey

[mrs_spacey]

don't worry about the briefcase you'll be fine without one - people only ever take one on their first day!

good luck

I once had an ace job.....it was for IBM in Havant

 They had a huge open plan office, and if the workers got bored of the view or arrangement of their furniture, they called up me and another couple of lads to move the furniture around. They had to provide a little map of what they wanted ...where the rubber plant went etc.

 Most of the time we spent down in the bowels of the building playing cards etc....70's working practices were a bit more worker friendly...

Were they allowed to smoke at their desks Reg?

I'd like to have seen the day where you could spark up at your desk.

Sonic wear a tie and just wap it off if needs be.

[mrs_spacey]

yeah what dazzza says sonic.

do a jacket and tie - you can always take 'em off but its more difficult to go out and find a jacket/tie combo  

[Dazzza]

Aye chances are you'll meet the managrs and stuff, the sort of people you'll only ever see or talk to again at the office party so it pays to look smartish.

Better to be over dressed than under.

Back in the early 1800s i was a civil servant (yeah i know the shame...)

We were allowed to smoke at our desks  between certain times of the day for about 1/2 an hour in the morning and 1/2 an hour in the afternoon.

no one complained

Where can I get a job like that?  Actually I'm cutting down, want to start trying to make something of being able to sing, going to perform at a place a couple of miles away soon.

oh yes Reg - I had a job at Glaxo in Greenford fitting lab equipment. In at 7.30 , brekky at 8.30 back to work at 9.30 pub at 11.00 - short day, couple quid to the gateman to sign your ticket for all day.
ah the 70's a whiff of fresh air !!!

Where's TMS Sonic? Is it in the Science Park off of Audlett Drive? Used to temp down there, its quite nice. What happened with the PhotoPoint job? You didn't get booted out for being an alcoholic did ya

Wear a tie, you can always take it off.  I don't have to wear a tie at work, which is nice, but a good tie does look cool.

I like wearing ties, got a nice collection. Although I went for a casual shirt and no tie today forgetting I was supposed to tag along to a big meeting!

[Kinky Tom]

Indeed, I have a very fetching brown shirt and beige tie combo.

[Piemonte]

I have to wear shirt and tie mon-thurs, pretty much whatever I want on fridays. Except I have a meeting to attend this friday so I'll be suited then too. fuckers. it usually means and extra 10 mins in bed on fridays :x

[sonicyouth]

that was shit i'm not going back, i spent the entire day stuffing envelopes
