Quick check in to the new thread before work!

Glad your first day went well, Richtea! I really enjoyed being out of the house with other adults for 4 hours a week when I first started. Unfortunately my job quickly expanded to about 25 hours a week! Still enjoy it but it doesn't leave enough time for MN or ff!

Onlygirl - sorry to hear of your bust up. Hope things get back on an even keel soon.

cjwoofwoof · 10/02/2015 09:36

Ooh icemist lovely pics this morning. Headset shots get me every time - why?

pixieg1rl · 10/02/2015 10:14

Those are some nice photos this morning icemist.

There must be something in the air, I fell asleep on DS's floor last night and then just decided to go to bed. I must have had about 8 hours sleep, it was brilliant. The 5:30am wake up was less brilliant, but you can't have everything.

Ilovelblue · 10/02/2015 10:33

Nursemaiding my young apprentices again today but they have been whisked off for a planning meeting with one of our managers. They were full of importance when they told me but unfortunately I sniggered - it reminded me of our "staff meetings" on here last week.

orphan · 10/02/2015 10:48

ilove yes, the number of phrases that elicit a snigger in normal conversation are growing aren't they?!

icemist I like the pic selection. Serious CJ (seriously hot) Smile

Ilovelblue · 10/02/2015 10:54

icemist that first picture gives me goosebumps.

orphan maybe we should be compiling a list of euphemisms we've collected along the way on here so that we can issue it as part of our guidebook at the AGM?

orphan · 10/02/2015 11:27

Yes, How to Talk CJ Collective - A Handbook for the deranged Silly yet Sophisticated

orphan · 10/02/2015 11:40

painted just looking at your swivel control again. Can't quite make it out. Does it say 'heat' as well, or is it 'meat'(?!)? I still can't get over the fact it vibrates. I assume it's silent or can everyone in your office hear when you're having fun?

Richtea19 · 10/02/2015 12:11

God it's amazing how much I can get done in a morning when I have to and get time for a little catch up.

Great idea about a list of vocab, I had a giggle to myself yesterday as I was told we have team meetings, I had images of us all hanging off CJ on painteds vibrating leather swivel chair!

icemist loving the photos this morning,they remind us why we are all here :)

icemistOBE · 10/02/2015 13:31

I'd get a lot more done If 18mo wasn't asleep on me Hmm

Nickel45 · 10/02/2015 13:41

I'd get a lot more done it I got up and actually did something, rather that catching up on my reading!!

But am feeling pretty rough, as I think the cold I have been holding off has decided not to go away. So am having a "not doing very much at all and ignoring all the mess around me" day :)

cjwoofwoof · 10/02/2015 13:53

Has anybody seen the Cadburys chocolate advert on tv where they're in an office and use their swivel chairs to glide around in a group dance? Made me snigger to myself

Ilovelblue · 10/02/2015 14:15

I don't mind having a go at compiling our euphemisms into a spreadsheet or other document. I'll have a bash tonight if I have time and then you can add to it as there will be plenty I've forgotten.

Nickel if it's the same cold bug that I had, you will feel rough for a while. I'm only just getting over it and it's been two weeks now. Ignore the mess - it will still be there no doubt when you are better.

orphan · 10/02/2015 14:22

Waiting for dp to leave (away for couple of days) and friend to arrive for coffee and catch up. Have had an incredibly unproductive morning unless rereading ff and watching ep 2 counts!

Ilovelblue · 10/02/2015 15:17

orphan yes it definitely counts. Very productive in my view!!

Ilovelblue · 10/02/2015 15:24

Rhubarb has just updated - great chapter again!

Onlygirljen · 10/02/2015 15:59

Afternoon all. Finally at the airport ready to head home after very early start. Had a lucky break, managed to catch an earlier flight than expected Smile. Things still a bit frosty at home, but better than they were at least. Thanks again for all being so lovely about it last night.

Oh and cherin, you would need subtitles for me! Full blown 100mph west of Scotland accent here! Grin

icemistOBE · 10/02/2015 16:34

Glad things are better at home Jen

pixieg1rl · 10/02/2015 17:50

Glad to hear that things are a bit easier at home jen.

You do realise that now I think you are Katie Morag.

Onlygirljen · 10/02/2015 17:58

Ha pixie, no Hebridean Islands for me, I'm a city girl, born and bred!

Unless CJ wanted us to elope to an island with the manual and the state of the art swivel chair. I think I could give up city girl status in that case Hmm

Nickel45 · 10/02/2015 18:29

Well I now can't get the Katie MoraIg song out of my head, merged with that frozen song my littlIie keeps singing and the 'it isn't my fault' song DS has decided to learn from in the woods. No wonder my head is fragged today!!

But the West Coast of Scotland is one of my most favourite places :)

orphan · 10/02/2015 18:30

onlygirl glad things at home are defrosting! If you're not Katie Moray, could you be Flora MacDonald (although she was an islander as well I think)? I remember as a child, reading a very romanticised story about her and Bonnie Prince Charlie and falling in love with the pair of them.

FWK351 · 10/02/2015 18:41

Head is fragged here too Nickel, and still looking at another hour and a half in the office. Not even my swivel chair is helping this evening.

Joss Whedon (creator of Buffy) was taking the mick out of the lines on Reign on twitter today. How can the writers really write such dross?

Richtea19 · 10/02/2015 18:54

Glad things are a bit better jen. I have the house to myself tonight, well for a few hours anyway. My plan isRhubarbs FF and an idle Google CJ search. I'm having withdrawals!

orphan · 10/02/2015 19:04

rhubarb great chapter, of course! The world you've created is just so well realised. Hope CJ's not getting himself into something really dodgy.

whajeb loved it. Lucky Molly is all I can say...Grin
