My job is boring. No really.
Ok, we just had an 8 foot python brought into our office as 'reference material'. Everyone gathered round and cooed and stroked it. A man had brought it in inside a duvet cover (I would have liked to have seen that on the tube) and he was obviously used to taking it round schools since he kept telling us facts about it. It turns out pythons move by 'walking' with their ribs, kind of like a millipede. And they only need to eat once a year if they've had a big enough meal. And they don't like the smell of the perfume 'poison'. Cool.
But my job is still totally boring. Honest.

We used to have a man that showed us 'wild' animals at primary school, Mr Morris I think his name was, sadly the most 'wild' we ever got was the python as Mr Morris was a bit old and probably couldn't have tamed a grizzly bear (I am of course merely dreaming that we would have had a bear in school, but it would have been fantastic).

Man I wish my work was that "boring" I would "hate" the thought of coming in to some form of surprise!

Right - that's it. I'm arranging a Cleopatra themed 'show and tell'.

midget - yes, the bloody rampage as it tossed the bodies of children around like ragdolls would have been a beautiful site.
soapbox - you're not missing much - the last suprise we had was finding a chrashed wooden chariot in our reception.
daisy - will you be in costume?
norah - (yes, I know you hate it when people do that) does it have a little tray for storing paperclips?

Surely not Norah! Even just fax machines do photocopies.
Modern, innit?

We've got one like that. Once a man brought some bats in to brownies...

Do they hate poison enough to maul whoever may be wearing it?
|

eb - no one ever brought a python into an insurance office. I think I outrank you in the boring job stakes.
hyperconscious - this old geezer called Morris who brought animals in, it wasn't TV's Johnny Morris was it? The one who used to do the chimp voices and the like and launched Terry Nutkins to stardom.

'Poison' is a Christian Dior purfume. Do you think they'd prefer 'J'Adore Dior' instead?

Someone sent us a sheet of gyprock in the mail last week- I had to carry it up from the post office. So clearly my job is more exciting than yours. Nyer.

*whispers*
I think it's what they call plasterboard, babs.
|

I cant believe no one made reference to baboons trouser snake, when it tried to climb his trouser leg
jeez! whats wrong with you lot :-)
|
(5.4.05 11:08)
plasterboard? Australian is such a poetic language.
|
(5.4.05 11:18)
It's summat to do with the mineral it's made of.
Gypsum.
Innit.

Hey, that's crazy! In what way was the snake reference material?
|
(5.4.05 12:00)
We're working on the CG for Harry Potter 4. There's a giant snake in it and we wanted to see how it's skin looked and how it moved.
|

It eats Harry, doesn't it? That would be awesome.
Yes, Gyprock is Plasterboard, I think. They make stuff out of it anyway. Wall like stuff.
