1. I have some big scratches on my arm, resulting from gardening. Last week, when meeting with an HR person, I thought I had better explain that they weren't the result of psychological distress. He laughed. On Monday, meeting with someone else - not HR - I said I had a dread of people getting onto my manager, saying I'm psychologically disturbed. "Oh yes," he said, "My brother used to carve chunks out of his arm..."
2. A mobile was ringing, unanswered, playing that clown tune. T stomped around. "Whose is that poncey tune? I'm going to change the language to Chinese - that will teach them." It turned out to be W's.
"You ought to be grateful it is playing a silly tune. When I sat next to him, it used to vibrate and make my desk shake backwards and forwards." I said.
"So that's why you didn't want to move down the room!" said T. M and V were beside themselves with giggles.
