receptionist as crack-on target

DarylSomers  said about 5 years ago  or at  12:27PM on Monday, October 16 2006 in competitions

the receptionist at work cops a lot of gary. i know because i sit just around the corner and can't really avoid listening to it.

i wonder how that would feel.

does anyone know?

Is Gary well endowed?

cops alot of gary?

Our receptionist is a guy who calls himself Blondie

gary groundwork? is this what you mean, somers?


DarylSomers  said about 5 years ago:

yes, gary groundwork.

would it be flattering, then confusing, then tiring?


DarylSomers  said about 5 years ago:

i went for a job as a receptionist many years ago, but i didn't get it. couldn't type fast enough, apparently. secretly, though, i think the boss wanted some eye candy about the place and i didn't fit the bill.


september  said about 5 years ago:

you should ask her how it makes her feel but then she might think you're having a crack at her.


tinyman  said about 5 years ago:

sorry, i'm still lost. who or what is gary groundwork?


DarylSomers  said about 5 years ago:

my conversations with women are strictly business, september.

Also known as "construction preparation" ie. laying the foundations.*

*I just made that up.


Modi  said about 5 years ago:

Is it overly flirtatious? Or just polite witty banter?


DarylSomers  said about 5 years ago:

not overtly, modi, but it is relentless.
i'm very tired and therefore easily distracted today.


september  said about 5 years ago:

i didn't mean to imply that you were having a crack at her, somers. i know you're on the level. but still, if you want to know how she feels, then i suggest you ask her...at the staff christmas party after a couple of drinks and while she's sitting on the photocopier without her undies.

gary = spade work

NZ friends call this 'spadework'. When a friend talks you up to a prospective partner for you, that's called the 'secret spade'


DarylSomers  said about 5 years ago:

actually, the work christmas party is coming up shortly, although it's not being held at the office.
i could speak to the social club leader and arrange for a photocopier to be installed at the venue.

sorry mum.

yourlover  said about 5 years ago:

ctrlshift  said about 5 years ago:

filterfeed  said about 5 years ago:

LoadMyRig  said about 5 years ago:

i'm in love with this thread.


williammiller  said about 5 years ago:

we had the hottest receptionist ever that everyone tried to crack on to. I slowly did the Gary and after she left that job we somehow came back in touch through mutual friends and ended up paying off. Oh yes. Pays to be a nice guy sometimes.

Sometimes.


DarylSomers  said about 5 years ago:

can someone please spell out the i.t. guy/receptionist thing to me. send a pm if you don't want everyone to hear it.


filterfeed  said about 5 years ago:

poor daryl.

still, not as tragic as the post proceeding his. good thread.


gohindy  said about 5 years ago:

poor me as well.

I'm with Daryl.

But we're not as poor as others


DarylSomers  said about 5 years ago:

filterfeed  said about 5 years ago:

all pms take 3-7 working days, i'll do my best though


DarylSomers  said about 5 years ago:

jason - delete the pm i just sent filterfeed.


gohindy  said about 5 years ago:

Daryl, you sent have sent a reply paid express post envelope with that pm.


hiponion  said about 5 years ago:

bogans flirt with each other all the time

delivery guys etc flirt with receptionists

they're just staying within their unconscious socio-economic boundaries


DarylSomers  said about 5 years ago:

is that what filterfuck was getting at, worksafe?


gohindy  said about 5 years ago:

damn that should read 'have you sent.....'


hiponion  said about 5 years ago:

DarylSomers  said about 5 years ago:
