Things I Am No Longer Allowed to Do At Work

Inspired by the legendary Skippy's list, here's a short list of things I've been told not to do any more.

D is not allowed to weaponise stationery.

D is not allowed to ask if anybody wants a hammer fight

D is not allowed to headbutt his computer

D is not allowed to bite his computer

D is not allowed to call his computer nasty names.

D is not allowed to taunt the fax machine.

The IT team did not "write the software with spoons sellotaped to their dicks" and D is not allowed to say this any more.  

D is not allowed to throw chocolate bars into the middle of the office floor and shout “Fight for it.”

D is not allowed to call his team-mates “Bloody boring” when they refuse to fight for his entertainment. 

D is not allowed to put Black Metal onto the Xmas party playlist

D is not allowed to sing to himself in the office.  It’s not particularly annoying . He just can’t sing for shit.

D is not allowed his own entrance music.

D is not allowed to add items to the meeting agenda, especially if they are about building Giant Robot Spiders.

Or whether Rarity is really "the best pony." 

D is not allowed to do *that* smile. He knows the one we mean.

D is not allowed to draw sea monsters on the notice board.

Or Dragons.


D is not allowed to draw any animal on the notice board whether real or mythological.

D is not allowed to tell customers that late return of paperwork will lead to a clown eating their soul. 

D is basically not to do stuff that D thinks is funny. even if he is "A bit bored"

That's All Folks.

Have a  Great Christmas and I'll see you next year.

  1. Hi Big D,

    They all sound like sensible things to me. My particular favorite is adding Black Metal to the Xmas Party playlist.

    I wanted to do that too.

    :o)

    Cheers

    1. There's a surprising number of Black Metal Xmas songs.

    2. At my work, we carry a multitude of hammers. A 3 lb ball peen is the preferred for fine detail work. My personal favorite is an 8lb sledge with half a handle. You chop the handle off so you can work it one handed, and the extra handle doesn't smack you in the ribs. Nothing persuades stuck beatings off machinery like 8 lbs of Detroit Steel!!

    3. I admire a man who is enthusiastic about things he likes. Even if it is battering things with hammers.
