Different lifts for different folks.
by Old-Nick @ 2008-05-08 - 09:58:00

I have only just noticed something odd about this office.

If you use the lifts at one end of the building, you will be travelling up or down with people who do things like use the word “Yeah?” between every sentence or say “innit” in a similar fashion, or spend the brief trip mumbling incoherently into mobile phones and chuckling.

If you use the lifts at the other end of the building, the lifts by the main entrance, you are more likely to be accompanied by people carrying laptops and takeaway coffees from Café Nero, Sandwiches from Prets and talking into mobiles saying things like “Yeah, we are working on the projections now and will have them over to you soon as, no problemo”

Don’t know which ones annoy me more.

well being such an expert social chamelion, I can blend in with both.

Although my "a bit too casual for office wear" clothing mark me down as part of the first group in the eyes of the second.

Shows you where my mind is at.

Well I use the stairs, but I guess most of the number twos work on my floor, fortunately as one of the very few creatives in this sea of modern managers, I bung my lappy in the drawer when I go home and I don't drink poncy coffee no more anyway.

"most of the number twos work on my floor"

Never a truer word spoken.
