Office etiquet

I would be direct and to the point, an office is a shared place politeness is needed.

yup - agree! People are always pretending to turn down my volume knob - I dont get offended - if its a shared office you are meant to take your colleague's into consideration...:D
 
The bosses are Irish so dont give a f**k what they say or do, regardless of HR crap and every sentence contains a swear word :lol:

I'm not PC but people know I not mean and don't try to hurt people.

That's what makes office fun, I have some country music fans:eek: and will break out a cowboy hat and try to sing the songs some time.
 
Well, it has finally got to me. I have left (at the moment transiting in le merdien, dxb). In my exit interview I told them exactly why I left - they did not believe me. I have a recording of it but dont know how to put it on here! No joke!

I think it was Doha that did it to you ... thou shalt not leave the country without your employer's blessing and consent. Fook that - if my previous employer knew how many times I was overseas on their time (where I could not possibly say but it doesn't take a genius to guess (!) ...) they'd have had a blue fit. Especially as they were fixated on accounting for every 6 minutes of a person's day. To this day it staggers me how I ever got away with it !!!

that, or the complete idiocity of the people. i have no problem of promoting your own people but, come on - this sending them to London to half do a degree and get them back as CEO's does not work! I was sheeting myself leaving today at passport control as 45 days had not passed (only 32) since i recinded my credit card - i was actually taken into a room and asked my movements. Thankfully my final settlement went through to the bank (although that is locked until 28 December).

On a plus, stopping off to my mums with my gear, on to vegas, then dc10 for new years!

You're well out of it. They can stick it to be perfectly honest. Cafe del Mar in Dubai now to placate a bunch of w*nky booze-soaked expats on day release from their concrete boxes ? Give me a flipping break. Being in that part of the world is "living" with a small "l". A bit like Penis, but with a small p. Virtually shackled to various degrees and in various forms and guises depending on your position. You might as well be in an animal reserve - the locals almost certainly view you as their zoo specimens of varying degrees of curiosity, and the property of the company whose brand is on your forehead (... I mean papers).

Don't blow all your hard-earned tax free cash in Vegas in an explosion of post-repression mania (though I could quite understand it if you did ..) :lol: DC-10 will be suitably levelling I'm sure ;). Welcome home to the real world.
