The conversation I have just had:

Manager: When can you spiral bind those papers?
Me: I can do them now, if you want?
Manager: Great, can you do three sets?
Me: Have you got them?
Manager: Yes.
Me: Er, can I have them?
Manager: No, I need to colour them in first.
Me: (in tone reserved for children and foreigners) I'll have to have them to bind them...?
Manager: *looks blank - comprehension dawns - cracks up*

Would this be the same manager that stood for twenty minutes against the wall so as not to activate the non-motion sensor alarm, by any chance?

Call it women's intuition?

On strange work related things; the entire, large, open plan office here has just burst into spontaneous applause. For no apparent reason.

I am quite scared.

oooh. weird. they are obviously all under the control of a mothership. don't accept any strange looking headsets or ear-pieces they might offer you...

Your manager needed to colour something in?

Is he safe with crayons, or do you have to blunt the ends first to make sure he doesn't hurt himself...?

*sniggers*

yeah, he was marking road improvements on a site plan. well, I assume that's what he was doing. He may actually have been colouring in the trees and drawing little ambulances. I shall check, tomorrow, to make sure he hasn't gone over the lines...
