So usually I'm in my little graphic design corner doing my thing but occasionally I will be asked to sit reception, answer calls and all that. The person who is supposed to be on reception is some 17 year old guy on a work placement, known for ditching his post and being unreliable.
He's not in, so of course I'm sitting at the desk, easy enough. I just had a phone call from him saying 'Hi, calling in late, not going to be in today.'
Which is fair enough, except for the fact that as I was walking into work today, he walked RIGHT past me out of the front door. Weird. He hasn't even signed in. Why would you turn up for work, leave, then wait 1 hour and a half, saying you're not going to be in? Taking the piss like.
Something strange going on at work
