the person on my right is named Katharine. when she was young, she wanted to play the clarinet, but her fingers were too short, so she stuck Silly Putty on them. She is a very resourceful and sweet girl. at the moment she is reading a book of poetry and laughing. Tell me something about the person nearest to you?

My nephew is staying with us for one more week. We went to a baseball game today. He tried to explain the stats. I was bored . But they did have peanuts.

He has three arms, talks Klingon and has pink hair. I need my medication.

The person next to me is the presenter of the national news.

He is wearing sheepskin boots and playing pool. He recently broke up with his g/f. He keeps carnivorous plants and a terrarium which is mostly self sustaining.

A good source of fruit Polos when I'm feeling peckish.

Co-worker who is bugging the living shit out of me, as they keep insisting I do some work and they know that I know that they know that all I'm doing all morning is posting to forums, and they're just pissed off because they're a brown-nosing Luddite who doesn't even know how to use the Interweb anyway so they insist everybody do the same miserable amount of stupid data-entry work as them instead of having fun on our pitiful wage!

There is just a huge expanse of empty office before you get to Group Reporting where my office crush used to sit before he moved departments (not because of me I hasten to add). To the left however is the man I am having an ongoing not-passing-on-phone-messages war with. If I am not on the interweb I am glaring at him.

The person nearest to me is my new minion who I have got doing ridiculous minion like tasks and am feeling guilty for. SHe'll soon settle in though and tell me to fuck off.

Co-worker, name of Antony. C++ expert, unshaven lout, big fan of the Associates and responsible for my first hearing of Neu!.

― Richard Tunnicliffe, Tuesday, 14 August 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

see thread what would you do if, for my response.

― Geoff, Tuesday, 14 August 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

On my right we have New Girl Marsha. Despite her having been here for at least over a month now, I still feel impelled to call her NGM. Not so much now we have New Boy Michael too, but he's not in my office. Continuing onwards we have wannabe web designer Tosan. Despite his lust for HTML, he has still let me do ALL the work on our intranet site, despite me only having the vague remnants of self-taught HTML from Days of Boredom. Grrr. I don't know how co-workers would describe me. Probably "always eating" and crying "leave me alone".

There is no person to my right right now, he's in a meeting. If I turn around and make my other side my right, I am next to a very amusing coworker. Good personality, good looks, nice all around guy, has two kids, good at his job. Is screwing up his life completely by having an affair with extremely fucked up female coworker and dabbling in drugs. Makes me sad, I want to smack sense into him.

Normally to my right there's my boss, who used to follow the Clash on tour and saw Subway Sect in '77. But he's on holiday. So moving round we have Kevin, who is a nice bloke and works a lot harder than me, to my endless guilt.

― Tom, Tuesday, 14 August 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

she is a good worker, she puts in late hours, she's always in the boss's office, she takes work home with her. she is very sweet, she is good-humored, she is fun, she has been more helpful to me here than anyone else. and my intense hatred for her burns like HELLFIRE.

I fell out with the person nearest to me two weeks ago. Despite clearing up the situation and both of us agreeing everything was settled, he is still sulking and will not talk to me, even when I ask him a question. Plus, although he would deny it, he sits there sending me hate across the room all day. Luckily, I am leaving in a fortnight and will have a whole load of new people next to me.

― John Davey, Tuesday, 14 August 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Jeez, Fred, why hate the cleaning lady so much?

There is NADA, NOBODY, NUFFINK next to me back here. I have the equivalent of a bizarro open corner office. Windows everywhere, no cubicles. Heaven, I tell you.

― Ned Raggett, Tuesday, 14 August 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

because, ned, she's always stealing my stuff. she empties the wastebasket and then she empties out my drawers. GIVE ME BACK MY GIANT GEM CLIPS, WHORE!

here, i'm on no one's right, so no one can say anything bad about me. ("but why assume they'd say bad things about you?") if only life worked similarly.

― fred solinger, Tuesday, 14 August 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Now that there is someone on my proper right and not my backwards right...We used to hate each other. Sometimes we still get into shouting matches over work things, because he makes ludicrious rules for me to go by and then doesn't follow them himself, causing my life to be difficult. We don't hate each other anymore though. Indeed, he's one of my favorite people here and he says nothing but good about me, except for when he's gossiping about my personal life. He's very funny and always leaves comics and shit on my desk. He only listens to Bruce Springsteen, which is a bit weird. I have a teensy crush on him.

― Ally, Tuesday, 14 August 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

there is no one on my right because he got laid off two weeks ago.

― maura, Tuesday, 14 August 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

my roommate sarah is picking courses for her second year in carleton's music program. she's a fine pianist.

― sundar subramanian, Tuesday, 14 August 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Is Ned trying to tell that he's actually GOD?

― Kim, Tuesday, 14 August 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

When I was young I was in Sunday School & the teacher told us to say something nice about the person to your right. I had never seen her before and said the only thing I knew, which was, "You keep yourself clean." That is the Official Worst Compliment Ever, and I still feel stupid about it.

― 1 1 2 3 5, Tuesday, 14 August 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

tell US I meant! Us! Dammit! Ooops...Can I still say that in your divine presence O' Ned?

― Kim, Tuesday, 14 August 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Yes, I am god or a variant thereof. Show your obesiance with your PIN numbers for your ATM cards.

― Ned Raggett, Tuesday, 14 August 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

It's Miss Carey Lander. She moved here from Maidstone in October last year, which was a good decision. She likes to insult and hit me at every opportunity, which must be why she's probably my best friend.
