I was had today, well and truely, I was taken on.
So, most of you are well aware that if someone pisses me off at work, I have this unique mean streak that tends to end in...well...pwnage. Well, today, someone, Kibble (Kibitch, or Kibob, as Workhorse calls him) got me back.
In the morning, I had basically been being taking the usual abuse I get about being the only gay in the tech centre (Yes, I get the “Only gay in the village” one from these guys a lot) most of it coming from Kibble. Paddy then comes in and passes a comment about the recent onslaught of customers we had just had
Paddy: Jeasus Christ. It’s like Mission impossible out there
Kibble: Thats what we should do! Just get ourselves suspended by ropes from the ceiling then when customers come up, just glide swiftly down and serve them like that!
Now, Kibble is not the lightest of people. He is VERY big. Honestly, he weighs 20stone (about 280Lbs, I think) and is about 5’8” so he’s pretty large. He ridicules me about being gay...so I give as good as I get...about his weight
Me: Ki? Do they make rope strong enough to support you? Or would we have to have some complex web of steel cabling?
Whole department (Including one manager): *Laughter*
Kibble: oooOOOooo. Sassy. I’ll get you back for that
Now, Kibbles Revenge can be pretty bad, but he never usually seeks it. That said, his saying is “Revenge is a dish best served cold. I don’t care what temperature I get it at, so long as I get it”
Now, the day goes by and to say it was uneventful would be an understatement. 4 pm comes around and I go on my break, taking my laptop with me and connecting it to the apple network, which is an un-restricted network for use to demo the apple computers since they have an apple specialist monitoring them all the time.
About ¾ an hour into my break Kibble comes into the kitchen
Kibble: There’s some guys here from group security, Flea. They know you’ve been using a company internet connection for personal use and they want to see you
Now, it’s no secret that anyone who connects to the apple network who is a member of staff uses it for e-mails. This network is not owned by our company though (although I had forgotten this at the time) and lets just say I have had to deal with group security before...they are scary when you have done nothing wrong and are just a witness, when you have done something wrong; they don’t piss around. They just prosecute
So I picked up my laptop, finished my drink and was chatting to him about it on the way over. There was a man in a suit waiting behind the tech desk. Tall in stature, smartly dressed and looking over at us. “This is it, I’m sacked” I thought to myself.
We got over there and Kibble said in front of everyone “It’s a good job I’m winding you up, Isn’t it?!” With a huge grin on his face. Once again, laughter from the whole department...but the laughter included my own so it was okay.
I’mna get the fucker back for that one though >)
