I spend all day flicking between microsoft Excel and the internet, depending on who's behind me.
I take great pride in discovering new formulas in Excel.
I actively hate people who don't know how to format word documents correctly.
I drink a MASSIVE cup of coffee before I start doing any work, then go for a shit, then check facebook/bbc/DIS, then it's lunchtime. Then I grab some microsleep at my desk and go home.
No one notices it when I fall asleep in meetings, because I'm really good at hiding it. They just think I'm nodding in agreement.
I've just been to a meeting about how we're having too many meetings.
FINANCE!
The most exciting part of the month is when my stationery order comes in.
I'm suspicious of people eyeing up my highlighter pens.
I have a crush on the girl who goes to the watercooler at 10.30 every day, but I'll never, EVER get beyond saying 'Hi' to her and smiling like a cracked mug.
This girl isn't even pretty. I only fancy her because she's female and I'm going insane because

i just finished watching next weeks Mighty Boosh, its bollocks.
Now to update my councillors on the progress of their casework, make a cup of tea, pop to the servery and steal a pack of Ginger Nuts, write unnecccesarily long posts regarding the local news team, and leave early for my parents.
I take a five minute break every hour
And, seeing as I drink so much tea or coffee, it's either spent making another drink or going to the toilet!
youse can all waggle
I get every other week off. But the downside is I can't piss about, I have to actually work on my week on. All I do is read papers, though, so it's pretty ace.
Your life
is my life.
I feel your pain.
I REALLY SHOULD BE SACKED!

I'M AN OFFICE WORKER!
I use the alt-tab trick constantly!
I don't start acknowledging people until 10 o'clock because I'm still asleep!
I'm locked out of my answer phone messages because I forgot my password!
I sit by myself at lunch and read!
I carry bits of paper around when I'm bored!
I KNOW THE IT HELPLINE'S NUMBER OFF BY HEART!
I NEVER CHANGE MY PASSWORD UNTIL THE LAST MOMENT I CAN, THEN INSTANTLY FORGET IT. EVEN THOUGH IT'S THE SAME AS BEFORE, BUT WITH A SLIGHTLY DIFFERENT NUMBER!
THE IT HELPLINE ARE USELESS COCKBAGS!
MY PHONE STILL HAS THIS FLASHING RED LIGHT THAT WON'T GO AWAY!
I DON'T NEED TO READ THE MESSAGE ANYWAY!
WHY AM I TYPING LIKE THIS?
I NNED WE!
THE FLASHING RED LIGHT
INDICATES INCOMING RUSSIAN MISSILES!
WHO PUT YOU IN CHARGE OF OUR STRATEGIC NUCLEAR CAPABILITY?

I SHOULD ALERT SOMEONE, BUT FIRST I NEED TO WATCH THAT VIDEO OF THE CAR FLIPPING OVER AGAIN AND NEARLY KILLING THAT BY-STANDER!

"I carry bits of paper around when I'm bored!"
Brilliant!!!!
I'M AN OFFICE WORKER!
I just got an Official Warning from my boss because the mental woman who sits in the corner and moans and speaks with a voice that sounds like June Sarpong swallowing a malfunctioning radiator made a formal complaint about my language because I used the word 'flaps'!
I'M AN OFFICE WORKER!
will you get sacked if you say 'clunge'?
I'm so tempted to push it to the limits now.
Just stand up and pretend I have Female Genital Tourettes.
Vertical ham sandwich!
Fanny like a hippo's yawn!
Wetter than an otter's pocket!
TWAT OUT OF HELL.

at work and now people look at me strangely "oh her, the snorting one"...
I work in an office!
:D
:D
I EAT MY LUNCH AT MY DESK
WHEN I GET HOME MY TOP POCKET HAS A POST-IT NOTE IN, AND MY TROUSER POCKETS ARE FULL OF PENS
inky legs alert!
I smoke to pass the time
I'm not denying who I really am
I actually enjoy sitting in front of a computer for seven hours a day!
I'm impotent!
I'm an office worker...
I have a desk calender...
I have a workbook, but in the back of it I draw plans for imaginary theme parks, rubbish designs for chocolate bars and undead minor celebrities.
I don't have to be mad to work here
but it helps!!!!!!!!!!!!
I WILL DIE AT MY DESK
AND REMAIN UNNOTICED FOR 3 DAYS
I EDIT ANYTHING THAT MAKES ME LOOK BAD
IN OTHER PEOPLE'S EMAILS BEFORE I FORWARD THEM!
:D

I'M AN OFFICE WORKER
Everyone I work with is thick and incompetent but does twice as much work as me
^ :)
I'M AN OFFICE WORKER
I am believed to have bladder problems because I go to the loo every 10 or so minutes, but it's just so I can cry about my pathetic job.
I do the ol' "hold the file at my crotch" trick if I get a hardon and need to walk around.
I eat lunch at my desk so it looks like I'm having half an hour, but I'm really taking two hours.
I never hear the 'phone ringing because I'm too busy listening to my iPod.
I have a photograph of Morrissey at my desk, while my co-workers have pictures of their families.
I'M AN OFFICE WORKER!
I FORWARD THAT E-MAIL WITH ALL THOSE HILARIOUS JOKES TO EVERYONE, ONLY TO GET SAID E-MAIL SENT BACK TO ME 27 TIMES!
I PRINT OUT THE 'WACKY' '20 WAYS TO PROVE YOU'RE MAD' LIST!
I WATCHED THAT VIDEO OF THE MAN TRYING TO PHOTOCOPY HIS COMPUTER SCREEN AND ROFFLED!
I'M A TEMP
YOU GUYS SOOOO ENVY ME!
I'M AN OFFICE WORKER!
I got annoyed when DIS got colour and it was easier for people to see when I when I was slacking off
I'M AN OFFICE WORKER
I urinate sitting down cos it gives me an extra minute away from my desk!
:D
SOMETIMES, WHEN I'M SITTING DOWN TO URINATE, I TOY WITH THE IDEA OF GOING TO SLEEP FOR A FEW MINUTES. INSTEAD, I PUT MY HEAD IN MY HANDS AND WEEP SILENTLY
^
very good. That and the "wetter than an otter's pocket" are the funniest posts here so far.
I'm an officer
I act all hard done by when I get told off for not doing any work
Officer?
In fact, I'm going to run with it...
I've had 3 formal warnings
One for internet usage and two for my constant lateness. I still do not arrive in work before 9am and my working day is split 60% internet, 40% work - on a good day.
I'M AN OFFICE WORKER!
I SOMETIMES TRY AND PICK WHERE THE BEST SPOT WOULD BE TO SET UP MY SNIPER RIFLE IF I WAS TO GO ON A MAD KILLING SPREE. I'VE DECIDED THE CLOCK TOWER BIT ABOVE MY OFFICE IS AN EXCELLENT PLACE!
I CAN'T EXPLAIN WHAT I ACTUALLY DO FOR A LIVING
AND WHEN I TRY I BORE PEOPLE!
^this.
I used to say 'Word Processing Operator' thinking it had meaning and status. Does it fuck. I now just say "office work, sending e-mails, making leaflets, access work, drowning kittens, converting documents to pdfs..."
also..
turning standard tables into pivot tables and pie-charts. It doesn't make the information any clearer but it looks pretty and makes me look clever.
nice one!
I always make out that converting stuff to pdf is a 'big deal' so that it looks like I've worked hard on changing the document format when really all I've done is clicked the mouse a few times.
Christ, someone shoot me.
:D
I do this as well. Oh man, now I have to convert it as well?!? That's gonna take HOURS!
it's brilliant!
Plus you can adapt it to nearly every bit of work! "insert a picture below that text? Cor! Next you'll want me to move the whole society a bit to the left! I'll give it a go!"
^ all of that!
I AM AN OFFICE WORKER
I print stuff out to make it look like i`m doing something.
I photocopy blank pages then hold them up to my face to warm myself.
I copy huge chunks of text from music forums and paste them into word to read at work.
I`m worried someone I work with will google my name and read this.
I do the very same 'copy and paste into Word' thing
with The Fiver daily football email. I'm fooling everyone!
I just got a Christmas card from Catering Services
with an invoice in the same envelope.
I UNDERSTAND HOW TO UNJAM THE PHOTOCOPIER
SO I AM UNSACKABLE!
I know how to use the scanner
I am equally unsackable
I BREAK THE COLOUR PRINTER EVERYDAY!
I MAKE AN EFFORT TO ALWAYS GET THE 'YOUR SYSTEM IS LOW ON VIRTUAL MEMORY' MESSAGE BOX!
This week's 'Excel formula of the week' -
=PROPER()
for those of you that haven't received the latest newsletter, this replaces =SUMIF() and for those of you on a platinum membership, =COUNTIF()
I'm actually going to find out what that does
I'm a little excited.
Kill me.
I'M AN OFFICE WORKER!
I think it's a war crime if there's more than one person queuing for the coffee machine!
I'M AN OFFICE WORKER!
I care more about whether my seat reclines than my pension.
I'M AN OFFICE WORKER!
IT'S FRIDAY! THAT MEANS PUB LUNCH, RIGHT? THREE PINTS IN AN HOUR, WOOO I'M SOOOO DRUNK LOL WATCH ME I JUST GIGGLED DOWN THE PHONE LOLZO!
I'm also a massive hypocrite.
this morning
i was playing with the phones out of pure boredom, trying to edit my name as it appears on other peoples phones when i call them, and i accidentally edited my boss's one instead, to my name in capitals with two exclamation marks on. not exactly subtle... it should be interesting when this is discovered, at some point today..
It's my birthday
I'm going to buy everyone else cakes!
...
i am an office worker but i am saving the world, one piece of legislation at a time.
I'M NOT AN OFFICE WORKER.
And I don't think I ever could be.
doesn't matter
you WILL be.
I'm an office worker
I like to make hats from work stationery and made a business card calling myself a milliner
I'M AN OFFICE WORKER!
I have a constant fear of dropping a cup of coffee in full view of everyone as i saunter gingerly from the canteen to my desk
I wish I was an office worker
I bet it feels like you have a real life and everything.
not
so much. more like you have the life steadily draining out of you.
there has to be something there
for it to be drained, right?
I don't mind working in an office
So far it beats any other job I've had. Plus I got a free mug and 14 pens! Free!
I dunno.
I find it pretty unbearable a lot of the time but until all these student debts are gone I can't afford to go back to waitressing!
I am an office worker
I work bloody hard from Monday to Friday lunctime, and then from 2pm friday I'm generally not as hard working. But overall I am an obedient little shitbox.
I'M AN OFFICE WORKER!
I spend copious amounts of time sitting on the toilet playing games on my phone.
I spend between 70% and 90% of my time on the internet, sometimes, ALL day.
My left hand is permanently hovering over alt + tab.
I get pissed off when I get interrupted from posting/reading/blogging.
I also copy things into word to read.
I also use word to write song lyrics and blogs on the grounds it looks like work.
I am the only person in the building with any IT skills and therefore beyond reproach.
I hate my life.
I carry pieces of paper around with a look on my face that says "this is the single most important piece of paper in the world" - they are usually blank.
I once went AWOL for 3 hours and no one noticed.
My timesheet is a joke.
I'M AN OFFICE WORKER!
