damian 0 Posted October 28, 2003 Share Posted October 28, 2003 It sucks. That period of the afternoon when it is too early to go home yet one has read all the days news and internet forum offerings, leaving one with bugger all by way of work distraction. One finds this a low point in ones day. Link to post Share on other sites

Ocean11 0 Posted October 28, 2003 Share Posted October 28, 2003 That's when a long visit to the toilet often proves fruitful. Spending an hour there at the least soon brings 6 o'clock into view. Link to post Share on other sites
miteyak 0 Posted October 28, 2003 Share Posted October 28, 2003 Well how about a 'limbo' club db. Start new thread at 4.30 every afternoon, something controversial... but all must end by 6.00. Link to post Share on other sites

Are you getting excited yet young db... p.s. Did I mention me union jack g.... oooooo mama Link to post Share on other sites
barok 0 Posted October 29, 2003 Share Posted October 29, 2003 I don't think we have tackled transsexualism on this board yet, someone should start that thread. . .that's good and controversial, and has the added bonus of being speculative - I mean, how many people have met an actual transsexual ?

mogski 0 Posted October 29, 2003 Share Posted October 29, 2003 I know someone whom shale remain nameless whom often gets badmigraines that suspects they slept with a transexual. Something about an inside out sausage skin... Link to post Share on other sites
miteyak 0 Posted October 29, 2003 Share Posted October 29, 2003 Well Barok, I hope you're online at 4:30 (have we agreed upon a time) to start off that debate. I'm interested as to how you'll frame it to make it controversial... Link to post Share on other sites

snowboard_freak 0 Posted October 29, 2003 Share Posted October 29, 2003 I used to go to college with a transsexual. But he/she/it dropped out after about 2 months. Link to post Share on other sites
damian 0 Posted October 29, 2003 Author Share Posted October 29, 2003 I have met several tranny types, both "pre op" and "post op" (their lingo). One or two of them were stunners.... if you didn't know better. Link to post Share on other sites
snowboard_freak 0 Posted October 29, 2003 Share Posted October 29, 2003 db, there was this "chick" on that reality show "Australian Idol" who looked pretty damn good for transexual. Frighteningly actually. At first I didn't know and then found out she was actually a he and was absolutely shocked. Link to post Share on other sites
sweetaz 0 Posted October 29, 2003 Share Posted October 29, 2003 yeah that guy off A Idol was a hottie.... why is it that guys seem notoriously bad for picking trannies? Link to post Share on other sites
scoobydoo 0 Posted October 30, 2003 Share Posted October 30, 2003 ? What is Australian Idol?? Link to post Share on other sites
snowboard_freak 0 Posted October 30, 2003 Share Posted October 30, 2003 The Aussie version of Pop Idol. It's a really crap show thatbasically picks out Australias next music pop idol based on votes by the Australia public. I'm normally pretty good at picking them but this one was an exception. He tricked me good! Link to post Share on other sites

Goemon 0 Posted October 31, 2003 Share Posted October 31, 2003 db: maybe you can try some stealth disco in the late afternoon to spice up your day. Just sneak up behind a co-worker and start dancing. Link to post Share on other sites
Ocean11 0 Posted October 31, 2003 Share Posted October 31, 2003 Goemon - just in case he hasn't told you, db works in an international bank, not an advertising agency. Important point perhaps? Link to post Share on other sites
Goemon 0 Posted October 31, 2003 Share Posted October 31, 2003 international bank-shminternational shmank. Pshaw! You can do it anywhere as long as you don't get caught. Disco dancing works better when you wear a suit anyway. Works best if you smell all perfumy in your pink shirt and are swinging your purse around. Do the hustle, db! Link to post Share on other sites
sweetaz 0 Posted October 31, 2003 Share Posted October 31, 2003 when i first read the post name..i thought you were talking about a bit of afternoon delight. come to think of it that would get rid of the bordome...but would prob fit in the same category as sneaky disco.

damian 0 Posted October 31, 2003 Author Share Posted October 31, 2003 Hey Prick, ah sorry, I meant to say Goemon, you forgot my shiny leather shoes. And don't forget my sensible hair cut which was borne recently after some quiet advice from my senior's senior: "db, you have a reputation as a rebel. When I heard you on conference calls and before I had met you I pictured you as a very diligent looking serious guy with glasses and a calculator in your front pocket. You certainly have first class technical skills. However, when I met you it looked like you had just walked out of a disco. We want to move you into upper management, but some of us are a little uneasy. Perhaps you should work on your soft skills, try not to be such a rebel" *stares at hair*. "Your directness and honesty is also highly valued, however describing certain projects as 'a load of sh!t' may seem strange to people who do not know you so well" That story is almost verbatim. Ocean has a point re inappropriate setting, however you no idea how oppressive it is to 'be the banker' all day, all week, all year, 10 years later.... I like Stealth Disco, it warmed my soul.

damian 0 Posted October 31, 2003 Author Share Posted October 31, 2003 While I am on the wagon, some more classic quotes from the conservative conformist cock-sucker bankers that I have worked with over the years: *boss looks at screen saver* boss: What is that? db: An atoll in the Pacific. It is where I am going on holidays for a month. boss: it looks pretty undeveloped, do they have a golf course? db: no. boss: why the truck would anyone go on holidays where they don't have a golf course!!!? another: some banker: what did you do on the weekend, db? db: went snowboarding. some banker: oh...ok...... snowboarding. I ski. Have you been to Vail? Link to post Share on other sites
neversummer 0 Posted October 31, 2003 Share Posted October 31, 2003 love it db, love it. Ask it 'some banker' next time if he/she enjoyed the Apres Ski at Vail too. Link to post Share on other sites
