My workmate and I

Lol... I know what your thinking. What’s so funny?!. We moved offices, now i sit next to this dude. Every time I look up from my desk my eyes fall onto his computer (nosy i know). If he is not scrolling up and down his emails it is the spread sheet. I don’t know if its bad timing but truth be told I don’t know what this guys does though to his defense ‘he says he comes in an hour early’.

Then on hourly intervals he disappears for round thirty. At first before we moved it was once a day at 1600hours, then after we moved it changed to 1500hours and well today its every after two hours on average. One of the girls that I work with said that he goes to the toilet i didn’t really believe her and laughed my head off till today when he stood up and went to the toilet. I looked at my watch. Time check 10:35. Other people went in and out he never came out. Time check 11:05 he walked out of the toilet and came back to his desk and started scrolling up and down his email

He for some reason I don’t know has no desk phone, so he has to share with the person next to him. First he used to sit opposite me, now he is stuck next to me, so when the phone rings, he grabs immediately like his life depends on it. I didn’t sign up for a receptionist/ assistant but looks like God smiled down at me and decided I could use one.

He likes to talk about the cost of the things that he has bought; apparently he once paid £68 for a plate of Chinese food, that’s 204,000 Ugandan shillings.

And lastly he doesn’t smell too good.

Mckeith said...

Ahem ahem....
I love this post.. Depending on how comfortable the toilet is, then the time should not be a problem...
That guy must have a sort of thing for you I guess...... am not saying...what it is.

Oh then my interview.... Is this the hot story???...lol

normzo said...

i can only think of one thing that chap must be doing in the bathroom for that long......

yaaaaa...that stuff....

Safyre said...

That guy's a geek in corporate skin. The man even schedules his potty breaks?! Maybe he doesn't have much of a social life, or he would know better than to spend $68 on a plate of Chinese food..

Sibo said...

L.A. said...

employ the services of an office "private investigator"...you never know what you may turn out...he could be building a bomb in there.

Anonymous said...

Haha! Cool ideas! I think i'd go with L.A.. Dude might be building a bomb!
And the spray idea too.. You can tell the dude you found a spray you liked and thought he'd like too since it's a guy's.. Something like that.. I'm sure you can cook something up bright lady..

Tricia said...

Employ a private investigator...to go snoop in the loos, really!

Ugandan girl said...
