I'm sure the 2 month notice period cannot end quick enough for your colleagues.

I'd love to but have no motivation due to only having 2.5 weeks left of my 6 week notice period...!

Sorry boxedin

speed monkey have some decency and work reasonably hard to the end.

you never know when you may need references and you may come across these people in future.

The monkey sex thing is a little childish imho.

Still, enjoy your travelling - sounds like you are looking forward to it smile
The thing is, I am usually stacked up to the eye balls mate and TBH I am usually a hard worker (makes the day go quicker).

but my employer has reduced my work load quite significantly due to the fact my role includes building close relationships with customers and if I am going in two month my boss wants the relationships to be with someone who will be here if that makes sense.

So I have the role of answering phones and generally menial tasks.

ETA: the monkey sex thing is not an unheard of occurance from everyone in the office, along with a LOT more worse things, dangers of going to the toilet leaving your computer unlocked wink I suppose this office is pretty laid back though and has quite a jovial attitude though which is uncommon.

Think yourself VERY lucky and enjoy it (sounds like you are) because when you end up in a quiet, staid office, you start wanting to install a fking jukebox to liven the stiffs up a bit.

For that reason I _really_ miss my old job and am looking forward to leaving this office as it is just sooo quiet most of the time which is just dull and depressing.

oh and BTW... Windows+L is a really quick way to lock the PC smile

Ctrl + Alt + Delete then enter works for me smile

Always lock the computer if leaving the desk for more than five seconds, I have had IM's from my computer made to the office bike which had potential for making things uncomfortable...... no shes not fit wink

How about taking some time off to help a mate put a new gearbox in his car?

Doh, that'll teach me for trying to be clever, got you mixed up with Speed_Demon, his mate blew his Clio Sport's gearbox to pieces the other day after shifting from 5th to 2nd at around 90mph!

I read that.... not going to comment as what I think has been said by so many people already.

But no I am not a spoon who would associate with retards of that calibre

A better one is to set their desktop as their background and then remove all icons off their desktop. They're left with a desktop that looks like their desktop but of course when they click on any icons it doesn't work. The times I've got others to call the service desk are untrue.

Ctrl-Alt-Down is always good for a "driveby". On some people.

Bonus points if you turn their monitor upside down on its stand and see if they notice.

Works for me too but Win+L is way easier and quicker.

Back to te subject in hand - are you allowed to listen to headphones at work? Thank goodness we are, Youtube and bringing a USB stick loaded with MP3s will be one of the few things I will miss about working here.

We have Radio 1 on, which isnt too bad and yes can have head phones on.

I'm fluttering between looking at the price of motor bikes, cars on the 'tube and serching for old school forgotton music smile

oh and googling "worlds best paper aeroplane" then getting frustrated at the technicality of it! haha
