Work Weirdo's
-
We are all in the sort of field that attracts eccentrics and let's face it downright weirdos. The place I work has quite a few I will list them here. 1.) MW. I think I have mentioned him before, he stares at his screen-saver for two hour periods(no exaggeration) he also disappears for longer periods, nobody anywhere on site sees him during these periods and nobody knows where he goes. We suspect he returns to the Mother Ship. 2.) SJ. He collects Oranges, Clementines and Satsumas on top of his Desktop in various stages of decomposition. Some have been there for over a year and are nothing but a small grey furball, I have no idea why he does this, I don't really talk to him so can't really ask out of the blue, but I would love to know. I can only he assume has a bad case of syphilis and needs to grow his own Penicillin. 3.) IS. This man is more of an eccentric than a weirdo. He has made it to this list because he lets his kids dress him in the morning. That's right whatever they choose he wears it. Sometimes he doesn't match, sometimes he clashes but everytime without fail he looks like a Dick. He does it because his Kids like to do it so good on him. What weirdos do you work with name and shame them here. P.S. If you can't think who the weirdo is at your work then it's you!

It would be unfair of me to single out any of the underlings as they are all quite "normal". I have no doubt that they view me as the weirdo - and rightly so - my particular eccentricity being to quote from 70s and 80s rock and metal, as well as quoting vast chunks of H2G2 or Python.
I was brought up to respect my elders. I don't respect many people nowadays.

I work for myself, so it's me, I'm afraid - I'm the weirdo....

What ever you do, you are outstanding in your field. Or is that out standing...

All the weirdos I know are in my wife's family... I guess that makes me the weirdo; well there is that guy that looks like Santa Claus, oh and the dude dressed up like a cowboy, and the little fella’ with the big, I mean big, truck. I better quit before I get to someone who’s a CP member. They're not weird they're just, different.
It was broke, so I fixed it.

Must be a dandy of a pencil sharpener! Or it just has a better attitude than the cat. I have two cats that have tempted me on a few occasions to toss them outside for a month or two.

At the moment it's only me but as a contractor I've worked with some characters, OCD and hypersensativity mostly, the occasional freezer gnome, one or two schitzos, international socialist revolutionaries, dishonest Canadians, Brixton hard men, frighteningly clever Indians, Geordie PE teacher... Everyone one of as lovely as can be of course. The strangest tale I've ever heard of wierdness in the IT workplace though is the one about the phantom log layer but we'd better not get into that in the lounge X|

There's this one guy who single-handedly empties the soft drinks in the pantry. No matter when you pass across his desk, you'll see several empty bottles of pepsi, coke, and whatever else was available in the fridge. The guy carries something like 3 or 4 bottles to his desk at once.

I have ten of these of top of my machine, none of them rotten though admittedly the kiwi fruit doesn't look too attractive. The exhaust air from my pcs dries them out nicely. I found one under my desk the day I started work and I still have it 14 year later.
