It's been a funny old time at my office today, mostly involving the females in my building. This was at the beginning of the day;
I'm at the reception desk downstairs, waiting to speak to one of the girls and a delivery guy is asking her some questions...
Guy: So what do I do if I have a bigger parcel? Do I have to come around the front of the building?
Girl: No, you can park at the back and we'll let you in.
Guy: So is there an intercom?
Girl: Yes. Just press the button and let us know that you have a big package.
Guy: .....
He almost ran out of the building as she and I dissolved into hysterics!
(Oh, this next one wasn't today, but it fits in nicely)
Cigarette break outside with Princess C, discussing my tragic love life, (just for a change). I should add that C is a total Princess, she is blonde, soooo slim, beautiful and I wish she was a bitch because then I could properly hate her!
PC: I should introduce you to M
Me: M?
PC: Yeah, my 1st husband!
Me: Ohhhhh. Because that wouldn't be weird at all!!
PC: That's what F said too!!
Me: No shit!
PC: She said she didn't want my sloppy seconds!
Back in the office there was a hair-raising moment when I was informed that my boss has discovered Twitter is a big way! Eeeeeeeek! Time for a quick picture change, and thanking all things Holy that I didn't use my real name. I know there are a squillion, (that word is for you Donna!) people on Twitter, but it would be just my bloody luck, especially as my Twitter account leads right back here!
Then, this afternoon, I was in the reception area again talking to 3 of the girls. One whispered that there was a cute guy working in the comms room. The door was shut so I couldn't see him and as much as I would have loved to wait around all afternoon, I kind of had to work. She said she would offer him a coffee, (for the squillionth time, I bet!) so I could see him.
I "hovered" about, pretending to be busy while she opened the door. HOLYFUCKINGCRAP he was gorgeous!!! Dark hair, white t-shirt, faded jeans, fit body, I could go on and on! He refused a drink and as she shut the door all three of us just melted, sighing in that "Diet Coke Moment" kind of way.
I was straight upstairs to MSN Princess C that she had to go down to reception immediately. Ten minutes later my MSN exploded with words along the lines of "HOLYFUCKINGCRAP!" I think she agreed with me.
I'll leave you, with that advert. Our guy was better looking, but you get the idea.
PS. HOLYFUCKINGCRAP is absolutely a real word. Damn spellchecker needs to learn English!

Big Packages. Sloppy Seconds. Great English (Squillion and HOLYFUCKINGCRAP)
and saying my name. This? is why I love you.
You are freaking hilarious in this post. I kept snorting with laughter!
All offices should have a resident lovely to gaze at. The cleaner we had while our normal cleaner was away was so beautiful I got flustered while showing him where the hoover was. He came for a day and we never saw him again... Sigh...
So...not much actual work gets done around there, eh?
I LOVE that commercial. We had one here in the states where they stand around at the window and watch the workers down below and there is this really hot guy, but I like yours better.
I am like you; gotta run around and get the word...
Donna - Awww thank you sweetie! :o)
(Does your husband believe me yet?!)
Sizzle - Yay! I made you snort! ;o)
Bec - Unfortunately this guy won't be back and the only eye-candy left are all married guys I have known for years, sort of out-of-bounds for oggling, you know? ;o)
Mr Fab - We're a hive of activity ;o)
The Absurdist - As of today everyone in the building knows about the receptionist and the guy with the "big package" - she thought it was hilarious!
Awwww...you totally make me miss my BFF GingerMagnolia. We're pretty much constantly talking like that. Luckily she's visiting in July. You should come too! We'd have a blast!
Bwahahahahaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
Can I come work at your office? Puh-lease?
Honeywine - I wish!! I won't have time for my annual US pilgrimage this year and I miss it!!
DutchBitch - Yes of course you can!! ;o)
Ah...we, too, have a resident hottie at work (I work at a middle school). All of the females in the building love to gawk at "Mr. Downtown", which is our codename for him. We've surmised, though, that since he is SO good looking, he's probably very bad in bed. He's married, anyway, but he sure is nice to look at.
