Naughty stuff on work time.

[Gwladys St. Glory]

I got some bigger screens recently, still have to use reading glasses FFS. Nothing else to contribute to this thread, unfortunately.

It wasn't for bad eyes at the time but I'm glad I switched as the creeping years are wreaking their havoc these days.

I honestly didn't know what I expected. The previous ones were too small. No I can fit large docs on the screen but either I'm so far away I can't see (or reach my keyboard) or I'm so close I am using the same screen area as the last ones... it's all a mess. Can't imagine how many fingers I'd have lost now if I was a carpenter.

Try using scaling in your display options, I've got mine set to 200% because I'm running 4K native. Might help you a lot.

I'm on Mac, plus like most Mac users I don't know what this stuff means...

No idea about the Macverse (and I don't care to TBH) but hopefully this link helps; I wouldn't know if it does or not.

Start talking about getting blowies at work not that you need glasses to read a screen ffs. Bunch of old farts.

On work time, specifically, only once: Fridau afternoon. Lass who I'd been having a casual colleagues-with-benefits arrangement had taken the day off. Got a text from her at lunch-time telling me her fiancee, who, I think, was high up in PayPal or EBay or something, had been called out to, like, Zurich and that she was in the pub around the corner with nothing to do and nobody at home for the next few days.

I immediately booked out my diary for the afternoon for a non-descript external meeting and pretty much ran to that pub with a smile as big Thierrno's last Saturday.

oh come on, that's an acceptable word to use considering he admitted this earlier in the thread

Work experience at John Menzies - was walking out of there everyday with a stack of jazz mags and other bits in my coat. The two weeks I worked there was either side of all the new issues coming out so I got two months worth of the entire top shelf.

God knows how I never got pulled - went in to work looking like Shaggy from Scooby Doo's malnourished cousin and left looking like the Michelin Man.

Spent two months doing a YTS at Woolworths. Fantastic collection of CDs and console games by the time I finished. No regrets - £30 a week wage and it's hardly like they were teaching me a trade so a fair transaction in my eyes.

In addition to the above I have managed to do defile no fewer than three offices, but not on work time.

First time, while I was having the aforementioned colleague-with-benefits fling, her best friend in the office, who didn't know about said fling, came onto me in a big way. She was lovely - Iranian extraction, looked like Princess Jasmine. While working late ended up doing the naughty on her boss' desk chosen by her has she haaaaated her boss. Ended up dating her about 12 months. She even bought a Princess Jasmine costume. Probably should've marri3led thst one.

Second time was a Spanish colleague. We had a habit of going to networking events, having a few, stopping in a pub on the way home for a few more and some intense snogging. She reckoned she had split with her boyfriend, but never wanted to invite me back so I was dubious. Anyways, one night after a work do we both had to go back to the office to pick up our laptops at about 10pm. We were fooling around being stupid and security came to see what the commotion was. The moment they left she was on me and ended up doing the naughty on my desk. Next day she says "I hope I'm not pregnant. I'm not taking birth control" which was pretty terrifying. Glad I didn't marry that one as she was craaazee.

Final one, I had been dating my Mrs for about 3 months. Between Christmas and New Year we were pretty much the only ones in the office so we got into a tradition of doing the naughty at lunch time. And I did marry that one.

Like being at a Chippendales event on here at times.

I worked on the bins for a while and plenty of the crews used to stop somewhere for cheeky spliff.

….run into the betting shop, put a bet on and run out but the more senior I got, the more work interrupted my personal time.

Plenty of internal fraud in the Civil Service, not least staff paying benefits to themselves.

Deffo. I was a 'Director's Investigator' for the Benefits Agency AD1. Worked on one case in London for three months with another DI before he was finally arrested by the Met Police.

Boredom in work seems to the trigger for me
