People are Strange . . .

I hate office politics. Rumour has it that my job may not be as secure as I thought, and I could be on my arse with a weeks’ notice. It’s a long story how it works, but I’m basically on secondment which means I’m not on a normal contract as such, just on internal transfer.

Then what are you called? If someone wants your attention, do they just say "HEY YOU" or "MUPPET" ???

I know I do :P

People just usually throw random objects at my head if they want my attention.

I consider a whack in the head with a foreign object an act of endearment.

Does that include being whacked by a pile of poogle? And what about local objects, or is it only the ones from elsewhere that denote affection?
