Am I a Dinasour - Office Environments?



I work in IT, don’t even begin to try and talk to me about people wearing comedy t shirts.
I'm a Dev Team Manager and most days it's like being in The Big Bang Theory.

One of the team does puppet shows in his spare time - for adults - things like Back To The Future and Jaws, not porn.

Another one of them must have been raised in a dark room for most of his earlier life. Apart from programming he knows nowt about owt. His descriptions of classic films are the thing of legend in our office:

The Shawshank Redemption - "I've never seen it but I expect it's like The Great Escape, only more dour."

The Killing Fields - "I've never seen it but I reckon it's about some kind of farming dispute that turns a bit nasty."

Philadelphia - ""I've never seen it but I expect some bloke gets ill and takes his employer to court. His lawyer's a bit of a dick but wins the case for him, and everyone lives happily ever after."

Another lad just sits and farts and burps all day.

I hate my f@@king job.

:lol: We’ve got one who takes film plots, changes certain details and then tries to pass them off as real life scenarios. He told us all a story about his mate before who was in the army, who got sent into the jungle to rescue someone but they had been lied to by the government about why they were really there. They were then hunted by a giant jungle Wolf (might not have been Wolf but it was some kind of animal) and his mate was the only one who mate it out. Basically his mate was Arnie in Predator.

My office is in a football stadium so you'd think slightly relaxed dress code but nope, shirt and pants etc but seems the lasses get to wear what they want, we do have a free bar on a friday for an hour after work in one of stands. Don't understand the strict dress code for a completely private and secured place like

That is common. When it gets to summer, many lasses will wear a plain lightweight t-shirt with a long skirt or trousers. Blokes are expected to be in a shirt. I work where I can wear what I like, so it has never bothered me that much. I'd be turning up in a t-shirt too if I was in a place like that. Just something I noticed about the way people were dressed when I was in London yesterday.
