Comments on: The Lighter Side Of Brenda http://blog.disappointment.com/archives/70 If Only I Updated More Often, This Might Not Be Shit Thu, 16 Oct 2008 00:52:16 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.5.1 By: Raz http://blog.disappointment.com/archives/70#comment-265 Raz Fri, 11 Nov 2005 16:19:46 +0000 http://www.disappointment.com/wordpress/?p=70#comment-265 I think: B: "What makes it even better is, I didn’t mention it to my husband before, right, just because I just can’t. [makes more gay faces] He’s… he’s…" L: "You don’t have to whisper the word… you can say gay these days." is my favourite sitcom exchange of the year. It could be used in a new comedy called "Adminfrustration" starring Patricia Routledge and Martin Clunes. After saying Log's line Martin would huff, and roll his eyes, and a short piece of music would fade us into the first ad break. I think:

She is also my boss. She asks me to do things that are urgent by writing snotty notes in red pen on post its and put them in my tray rather than just saying "This is quite urgent, could you do it now please". This means I miss them, as they go to the back of my in-tray, and remain undone for four days, at which point she can give me a dressing down. Her computer has sound samples from Blackadder. When she gets an e-mail Rik Mayall shouts "She likes the taste of a man's tonsils" from the 'Bells' episode in Blackadder II. When an Outlook reminder pops up, Helen Atkinson-Wood shouts "huge suspicious looking sausages" from the Scarlet Pimpernel episode of Blackadder the Third. Every time a bit of me dies. Her laugh is dry and humourless, as she has no sense of humour. Every time she laughs I want to cry. Josie is my Brenda. She is also my boss.

Like a(n) Eunuch! THANKS FOR RUINING IT FOR ME and others.

Put it on the PC of as many people in the office as you can get away with. 6. Wait for her cries of "that's not me" when she eventually hears herself. 7. Inform her that, yes, indeed it is. You saw a .... y'know.... recording and photoing her the other day, but didn't want to say anything in case he attacked you. 8. Realise this isn't quite as good an idea as it was when you started.

The idea of Brenda having milk - magnesia or no - made my tummy twist. I pretended to use her computer to "find a file" (no-one questioned me, as no-one had any idea why I might need one of her files). I also found a mug with a budgie on it, which read "TWEET YOURSELF". Her drawers were locked, which does match with the personality of someone who writes their name in Tipp-Ex on everything within claw-reach. I asked her about it two days later, saying "did your husband like that photo, Brenda?" She said "what photo?" I replied, "you know, that photo of you with the Do Not Disturb sign". She replied "oh, that. Um, yes." Do you know what? I'm not convinced she showed it to her husband at all. I hope she doesn't turn out to have a fantasy family, that would almost be too obvious...
