Staff meetings - this procedure must be adhered to each time!

General meetingy stuff
Russell advises where the CC section could improve. They glare at each other.
Russell says our section is excellent, well done.
We beam.
Russell asks for any other business.
CC's glare at each other sullenly
I open my gob and kick off about how they should all make an effort, work as a team, get off their arses, stop bitching behind each others backs.....
They say "We don't bitch behind each others backs"
Russell says "Yes you do"
Full scale bitching erupts.
Christine randomly slags off Mark as he is the youngest.
Mark (by far the most intelligent person in the office) defends himself validly.
I defend Mark
Russell defends Mark
More bitching
End of meeting - back to our desks
I vow to keep quiet next time
Mark thinks the bitching is very funny


Also today I have been mistakenly assumed to be Myrna - a young boy experimenting with tampons. I received a reply intended for him from the malemenstruation@yahoogroups.com agony aunt.
Myrna must have some psychological problems for sure.

Anyway - the contents of the e-mail made me laugh so much I actually had to lock myself in the stock room for ten minutes to stop giggling. Which is not too kind to Myrna, but anyone who wishes periods on themselves is not going to get sympathy from many women.
