weired work collegues say the darndest things # 1,435

michael_w [Edit] [Delete] 00:34, 18 December '08

this was a 2 minute smack and these little beauts all came tumbling as one.

so...he says....(jokingly as we discuss our awful occupation)...'i thought i'd be really happy when i found this job, but suprise, suprise....

so...like any indie twirp worth his salt, i instantly crooned....'i was looking for a job and then i found a job...but heaven knows i'm miserable now'

he laughs and then, thinking that mine was made up, contines with his own words, jaunty tune and bouncing falsetto ....'i don't like this job....i didn't think i would....but now i'm here i definitly don't...i need another job...yes i do'

i decide not to tell him that mine was an actual song and let him soak the chuckle...

then, all excited, he hits me with this cheasnut...

'hey, mike....do you ever get caught shagging blokes?'

again, i decide to just go along to let him have his fun

'er...pfff....nah....nope. never caught. not me.'

'ha that means...' etc, etc....zing.

then he serves an attractive girl and, upon her exit, gives me some sound advice.

'the only thing you can do with a girl like that mike, is shove the shit right upa'

then he tries to guess what bands i like with the low point being the human league and the high point being talking heads.

then he gets back to the his till and starts up a tune....'when i wake up in the morning love...and the sunlight hurts my eyes'

all in a heady 2 minute blitz.

god....what are collegues like eh?. i think one day ill just write all this down and produce a sitcom...i mean...i hate my job but you meet such characters, y'know......real fodder....i bet im the only person in the world with collegues that say things...crazy, crazy.
