lupestripeI think I'm starting to lose it. Today I caught myself standing in the middle of the office offering hugs to any person who happened to walk by.
An hour later I got sent to naughty corner by my manager's manager for responding to a colleague saying she had spat in my tea by telling her "it's more the golden colour I'm worried about".
Add to this I have been bollocked for biting a colleague on the arm (it wasn't a serious bite, she dared me to do it and I did do it lightly), I have been banned from swearing and growling (I said to my boss it's one thing or the other - she was having none of it) and have inadvertently barked in the office loud enough for everyone to hear (not once but twice) I fear I may be starting to lose the plot.
I also put pawprints on all my produce (which resulted in the colleague I subsequently bit buying me a paw stamp and ink set for my birthday last year) and do a panting doggy impression on demand from another colleague because she finds it so amusing.
Is this the normal behaviour of a civil servant I ask you? Is this job perverting my sanity? Or is it so boring that I have to find amusing distractions in order to fill my day? I'm so confuzzled about it. Still at least I'm not as bad as the guy who sings to his penis whenever he's standing over a urinal...
