good lord! do they allow you to wear headphones? at my old job I found listening to queen (cos it's so familiar it doesn't even register) was a good way of blocking out noise when things were stressful or I had to concentrate very hard due to breaking something.
do you have to communicate much with your co-workers - ear plugs might work too if not...
It's a very open plan office and it would be considered extremely rude to put in earphones or earplugs...And I'd probably never hear my phone, which wouldn't be so bad! Ah well, I escape mid August so I guess the end is in sight...!
You should retort with that your Irish and therefore supposed to have very pale skin. And then devour a large warm chocolate fudge cake with cream, then follow that up with some donuts, While holding two fingers up in the air... ;o)
Start troughing said cake then say, whilst going "Mmmm! NOMNOM!" etc, with a full mouth, that their constant harping on about eating is giving you serious stress overload & you eat to relieve stress. *belch*
Well they're Irish too...it would seem they're trying to defy and deny their true Irish identity :)
I read your reply mid morning (my work has blocked Livejournal but I can access enough through a proxy to post and read comments on a post but not reply...!) and was nearly salivating over my keyboard at the thought of warm chocolate fudge cake with cream!
I did however get a slice of homemade Bailey's cheesecake this afternoon and on returning to the office and mentioning it to the diet and tan obsessed squawker, she gurned at me for not bringing her a piece !
I would like it to be known to any of my redheaded friends that I do love red hair :) I just saw an opportunity to poke fun at Eddy. He probably didn't even see!
Pale races of the world unite (somewhere cool and dark)!!
I got sunburned in Paris - the last time anyone from Scotland went that red there was when Gordon Brown's poor grasp of French led him to say something inappropriate about Madame Sarkozy :)
Yes, she has a lovely alabaster complexion and any poet worth their ink would devote sonnets to that aspect of her beauty alone.
Chemically staining your skin in a process similar to creosoting a fence, is only a sign of health when the word is prefixed with the phrase "Poor mental...".
