Wow, you really do pack a lot into your posts. It's like peanut butter - that's meant in a good way.
Eye contact is a massive problem I agree, also of course keeping the words coming out in anything approaching a lucid form while thinking about eye contact duration is damnably difficult. Recently I've abandoned all pretence and allow myself to look at the wall, floor, shoes of the person facing me, while stroking my chin and covering my mouth as I talk. What I say does come out a bit better, but I do occasionally detect some confusion on the face of therecipient. All conversation must be conducted through computer keyboards in the future.

Schadenfreude eh? Thanks for that new bit of vocab, I agree of course, watching little kids fall of their trikes onto merciless tarmac is the best thing going. Now I have a word for it, I look forward to using it.

Excellent post, thanks!

In Natwest queue recently heard them educating a work experience lad, rather than bothering to assist the frustrated customers. Fire alert...get out...Certain type of bomb scare...assemble two miles away! Were they taking the piss? That's proper bomb scare stuff in my book. Soon I'll be rewriting our company policy on such stuff, might have a little fun, new Brown commisioned nuclear station Chernobyl-style event...assemble Hawaii?

I work at Makro, I need help.....

How did you get a customer to throw a microwave at you? If you could provide a detailed description that would be great as all my attempts at customer violence have failed unfortunately :(

I wonder how many of us feel that death-row potential within us?
I do sympathise with the secret secondary plate washing, I can live with my own mess (at least a minor claim I have toward to normalness), but the filth of others really is very much a problem.
Good luck with your soon-to-be-had palace.

The other half goes on facebook and does intelligence tests repeatedly in order to try and do a bit better than a 'friend' we know who's a bit of a bitch and surely must have somehow fudged that high score, has hugging wars and agonises over whether to accept friendship applications from people she doesn't want to know, but doesn't want to reject either cos everyone will find out.

Hahaha, fabulous! (Did you know about the opportunity to own a virtual pet radish/flying giraffe/unicorn on Facebook, by the way? Since you enjoyed the fish-slapping so much) As I see it, Facebook and Myspace are for Brain: Off days; this is for Brain: On days. Now I must go and feed George the radish some virtual jellybeans...

That's it.

That's why I'm on here, stripped down bloggery for the purist, I've enjoyed the few weeks I've spent on here, hope you are doing too!
