h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

...we have this guy who rents rooms from us in the office. I provide him with telephone, client greetings, and the occassional tape and set of accounts for him...

...one of his client's is my hair dresser...really nice guy. (cutting a long story short)...


...3 of us in work decided to buy hair straightners from him so I left a message with his assistant at the salon...then went to lunch.

When I got back one of the girls said that my hair dresser was in the board room going through his paperwork for filing purposes and suggested I pop in there to ask about the hair straightners. So I did.

I didn't realise that the guy who rents offices from us was actually in the room with him...so I said sorry and asked my hair dresser to come see me when he had a few moments...then tiptoed backwards out of the room, and shut the door behind me.

A few minutes later, what happens!!! This guy who "rents" rooms....he's not my boss....pays nothing towards my wages and is a darn right piece of pooh...decided to come in and have a right go at me about it...in front of another member of staff too.

Well...this really got my back up...greatly! So I explained that I was sorry and that I didn't realise that he was in there with his client and that it wouldn't happen again. So I think that's finished the conversation off....nooooooooo...off he goes again about "don't you dare do that when I'm with one of my client's again...do you understand!" Understand this matey....(I give him the one fingered salute under the table)

I then start to defend myself about what happened, so what does he do? Walks out on me. Fine!!

Ha! I can get you better than you can get me sucker!!

So what did I do? I phoned head office and spoke to one of the "nicer" boses there (seems as my boss is off skiing, and not in this country either)...I explained about my anger management problems and told him that it took all my strength not to kick up a BIG fuss about it, but I told him in no uncertain terms that I'd had enough of this guy who "rents" offices from us and that from this point forward I am refusing to do ANY work for this guy whatsoever.

Typical nice man though...he got round me and asked me to carry on as normal and that he would take care of the matter once my boss came back off his holidays.

Blah...we shall see...

I think I know the feeling "

Aww... If you need counselling, let me know.

When you next take messages for him, just invert two numbers in the caller's telephone number...

...Or you can just give him the number for a phone sex outfit...

some one need kick in the butt and it is not you, Vicki

what an I.L.F.!


* I.L.F. means Irritating Life Form

just do the mobile phone number gag!








when he goes to the toilet, give him just enought time to have "a bit of a sit down" and then phone

You lot are so evil...

...

...can I join in?

NO

Oh, VV! This one is real easy.

Be nice as pie. Maybe even take him a cuppa. The guys brain will fry up trying to figure if you've spiked his brew AND he'll be wondering what you are up to.

Always smile and say hello but remember your work for your bosses take priority over his, use that to your advantage.

Failing that, get me a piccy and a shiney black tyre print is his for the asking!
