Do you go to work and stare and a computer screen all day? Do you know how to change your screen saver? Do you know what I.T. stands for? Well then, this might be a funny show to you. The IT Crowd is a British comedy series on Channel 4 about two guys that make up the IT Department of a business and there silly day to day tasks. Usually they make fun of the people who don’t know how to turn on their computer, but sometimes they play really good jokes on their coworkers by messing with their computers.

The newly hired manager of the I.T. department is some bird who doesn’t know a bit about computers… or what IT stands for! The IT guys know she’s a noob and plays jokes on her any chance they get.

Me not knowing that much about computers, find this show humorous at how completely computer illiterate these employees are. The different dilemmas these 3 get into make for a good satire that helps me cope with working on computers all day at work too.

I really enjoyed the series 1 and 2 of the Showtime series Secret Diary of a Call Girl. I find her tips to be very valuable for a woman like myself who’s in the dating scene and a workaholic.

  • Secret Diary of a Call Girl showtimewear men’s deodorant and no perfume so he won’t get caught
  • “shit, shower and shave”
  • misspellings and poor grammar in emails = bad guy
  • work a lot if you enjoy it but it will interfere with your personal life no matter how hard you try
  • try not to go crazy and share your story with people (exhibit 1. this blog 2. twitter)
  • have him shower before playing

Sometimes I find myself trying to imitate her accent – but to no avail.
