I just found out the new guy in the office next to me is a Red...

...What are the odds? For those that don't know I'm in the States.

New guy starts last week. Nice guy, getting along great.

5 minutes ago he walks into my office and sees my second screen with GOT up and says "You a Soccer guy"?

"Yes", I reply.

Him: "What kind of soccer guy"?

Me: "Everton kind of soccer guy"?

Him: "I'm Liverpool".

Me: "Jesus, what did you just say"?

Him: "Yeah, I'm going to bring all my stuff in to decorate my office now".

Me: "So am I then. It's an arms race from here on out".

Also me: "Have you ever been"?

Him: "No".

Me: "Of course you haven't".

It's on now.

Stay away from him around loose paving slabs.

We're not far along enough in the relationship for me to call him a wall pusher or murderer yet. That's a couple weeks out.

...this could be an interesting thread for the whole of your career. You'll get a flavour of what it's like for us.

Unscrew the earpiece of his desk phone and sellotape over the speaker, he'll shout cos people do that when they're struggling to hear... and then you can endlessly tell him to stfu

Said as much to him. From here on I get the real experience in microcosm. Derby days just kicked up about 12 notches.
