I recently got a great new job at a very big company that everybody knows.
Today everyone on my floor was away at a seminar leaving only me and one of my colleagues, a guy I get on fine with.
We found a rugby ball in the marketing department and began throwing it around. This other guy is much bigger than me and used to play rugby. I still do play rugby but as I've already mentioned, I'm smaller than him. I got the job he's been trying to get for five years and I know he's not happy about it.
So we're passing the ball around, nothing too heated, and then, out of the blue, he takes off his glasses and eyeballs me before charging the entire length of the open space office I work in. For a split second I did consider moving out of the way but the fact is there was a door behind me and given the speed the guy was running at he'd have taken it off its hinges if I'd stepped aside at the last minute. So I dump tackled the guy and now he's in hospital with a broken arm.
