MY OFFICE NEMESIS

Recruitment website Totaljobs took a survey of 7,000 people and found that six in 10 workers say they have an archenemy at work. Everyone has one – the colleague who, for one petty reason or another, you can’t stand. Maybe they slighted you. Maybe they wear too much cologne. Maybe they’re just naturally annoying. It’s like Michael and Toby on “The Office”. According to the survey, 20% of workers have even called in sick just to avoid their nemesis.
* That’s interesting. Very interesting. So, (your broadcast partner), why were you out last week?
* And if you DON’T have an office nemesis… then it’s you.
* Are you allowed to have more than one? Just asking for a friend.
* I thought only superheroes had nemesises. Nemesi? Nemeses?
* My office nemesis is my stupid studio chair that keeps leaning back on its own.
* The worst nemesis of all? “Star Trek: Nemesis” from 2002. Only 37% on Rotten Tomatoes.
* PHONE TOPIC: Morning Sidekick used to work with a guy who would do push-ups in his office chair, like he was on parallel bars. He’d do it until he broke the arms of his chair, then go steal someone else’s chair and repeat the cycle. Who is your office nemesis, and why?
