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!
I worked with a guy who sat on a Barney the Dinosaur floatie (a.k.a. "Water Wing") all day. I think he needed one of those inflatable donuts that people get from their doctor, after (I'm guessing) hemorrhoid surgery, but he didn't want to pay the inevitable premium associated with medical supplies. He was actually a good developer, but "eccentric" would be putting it mildly.

Probably the novel was clean.

Done that and found nothing. Unless he goes to a stall elsewhere on the site as it's quite a big location.

is he fat by any chance? If he isn't yet he will be.
He is fat. Wears an ear ring, and walks like a woman. :~

My b-i-l in Adelaide is a pathologist and he had a problem with piles a few years back. He went to see a specialist in that kind of treatment and while he was in the waiting room another doctor he knew saw him and made some off-the-cuff remark about his piles. As my b-i-l said, he could only have known that if he'd seen his case file. His reaction was that he wanted to punch him in the face. He reported him to the local medical regulation chapter and the doctor concerned was hauled before a committee and given a formal warning. The two of them never spoke again to each other after that.

Check a bathroom stall. People nap there. At my old job, the weirdest person we had was "Momma's Boy" He talked about 2 volume levels higher than appropriate. He would go to the bathroom all the time, frequently, with a fantasy novel. He would sit in the stall and presumably read the novel. When he would leave the bathroom he would never wash his hands.

That's why Mrs. Wife and I never go out anywhere without a bottle of alcohol hand gel. The thought of touching any door handle that someone has deposited either their shite or the contents of the nostrils on sickens me. There's a car park we use and we sometimes time our passage through the doors when somone else has opened them or we quickly jam a foot in before it closes and use our hooves to open it. I hate crowded Tube trains for the same reason as the sudden start and braking requires you to hold on to a handrail.
