yup. with the guy from watchmen playing freddy

Am hungry.

Ignoring message left on answer phone by boss, think she's trying to get me to go in this afternoon but I've already made plans to meet mum and see Gran, going to play ignornace and say I didn't get it til late :bleh:.
Also joy recieved my letter telling me to attend this disciplinrery for time keeping... Wonderful :roll:.

Another reason I don't want to return the call !!

Isn't it ironic that those "please do not print this email unless it's really necessary" paragraphs that some companies attach to all their emails are just long enough to make the email print over two pages ....?

Why have I got MJ's 1993 Grammy speech in my head ?!!?

LOL Random I know but there you go :lol: !!

spag bowl or pasta bake???

Talking to some people at our office in deepest darkest Zomerzet really is like talking back in time to someone form the 1970s :lmao:

not a popular tyre size anymore it would appear...

my BRAND NEW tyres were made in 2001 and 2003 :lmao:

~~~~ flights doubled in price over 24 hrs

Those are pretty volatile...just keep on checking different days and times...it doesn't make any sense but sometimes the next day is cheaper than the previous day and so on...

:shock:

just got a classic insurance quote for £9,999 lol

For one kidney or both of them?

if there'd really be such a thing as a Los Angeloser...


...he'd probably look like this:

the sunglasses give me that nice little douchebag touch lol

Let me explain something to you, RJ...even if you looked like American (I guess sunglasses put you into a whole new nation category)...the office where you sit will give you away in a heartbeat...for the most part our shitholes don't look like German offices...and where you sit is typical...

um... there appears to be a Mac next to you running WinXP?! :shock:

so, what does an american office look like?

are they heavy duty t shirts?

That picture is a perfect example of what we in the IT inductry call a PICNIC :))

I did write above that most offices here look like shitholes...not all...but most...at least in my area which is pretty darn old anyway...

I do know how German office looks cause I used to work for the company doing business with Germans...and when they came to visit us...they ran out in panic and furnished the office THEIR way...which was exactly the way it looks in your picture...

LOL - yes it is! It really winds me up that message too. So idiotic.

Firstly, I can't see why anyone would print out all their emails - doesn't that rather remove the benefit of them being "e"?

Secondly, if you did have a good reason to print them out, that makes it necessary! Surely no one would print it out if it wasn't necessary?

Please leave me alone to make my own decision about whether I want to print something.

Sorry, just had to get that off my chest :bicker::lol:

so...define shithole in this case? and what exactly do you do to make an office look German?

dont get it...

Sigh...I guess you want to visit me at work...

Clean and blonde furniture...(my guess would be to match the hair??? Dunno)

And another thing...

There is now a government TV ad paid for with my tax dollars telling me I should "drive 5 miles less per week to reduce CO2".

WHAT??? HOW? Am I supposed to park the car 1/2 a mile away from my house? What about the people who live there, if any? In fact I think that's probably a roundabout where it's illegal to park anyway.

Do they honestly think I add on a little bit of mileage to each journey just to keep the place a little bit warmer and burn some massively expensive fuel?

Idiotic tosh. The most stupid thing I have ever heard, and a massive waste of public money.


Sorry.

There is a possibility that now I have started I may never stop.

The good thing is...that we're all in it together...

NY State Governor proposed tax on soft drinks (sodas, drink mixes, etc.) to save people from obesity...beat this one...

So anyway...go on and vent....

I have a colleague who prints out each and every email sent between him and the boss and certain colleagues - then files them. He has a conspiracy theory that any emails that may in future be required to 'prove' anything would mysteriously vanish from the server the moment they are needed.

But yes, I suppose in his opinion, that makes the printing of it necessary!

I seem to regularly attend meetings with our IT department relating to various projects and we all turn up with files of paperwork. Just seems wrong to me.

It's just there to make us feel we are appearing to care about the environment... don't actually care if you kill the rainforests printing every email ... but at least we appear to care ;-)

Belated Happy Wednesday meatie peeps ...
