Office Capers: Job Description – Fire fighting
I get people asking me what I do for a living, all the time. After much debate (with I, me, myself and an annoying group known as ‘the rest of the world’) I have reached the following conclusion: I am a fire woman. And here’s why: I spend my day:…
Office Capers: Rising Stars
So now that we have a fresh batch of recruits, we aren’t the new kids on the office block any more. NB is as purana as the canteen’s breakfast poha. SNC and SFOS have put on weight (and so have I!)….last year’s training photographs look like they’ve been shot in…
Office Capers: All play and no work….
The last office workshop we attended was on ‘Stress management’. And on the neatly bulletted suggestions for relieving stress was the following idea…”Have your desk look clean and beautiful. Keep a stuffed toy or photograph on your table.” Ah…ours not to question why, but to do or die….——————————————————————————————————————Someone on the…

My left elbow practically jutted out into the corridor (and jabbed unsuspecting souls who turned the corner!). The watercooler was across the corridor,…
Office Capers: Depressing realisations
Good job be damned.I don’t love it, I’m not passionate about it.I’m not passionate about anything.Bloody depressing realisation. The only trouble with having a male boss is that you can’t say “PMS” and expect any real sympathy . You can’t expect it from a female boss either, for that matter.Depressing…
Office Capers: Hair Today…
SNC ‘accidently’ drops a photograph. We all coo over the chubby, grinning baby in the pic and then I look up and say “It doesn’t look like you at all!” Then we get into a discussion of how we looked as babies. NB: When I was a kid, I had…
