i sent it, to the agencies in-house propaganda rag, an act of severe
sarcasm, and got a very polite no thanks note back, with a compliment slip
about making somebody's day. my bit of the section notice-board (nearly
all of it, my desk was nearest) was a collage of deeper sarcasm. the
officer manager blanched at the sight of it on his pre-anne widdecombe-
visit walkabout - i don't know if it was the one that just said
'bastards!'.

He probably blanched because he understood all of it "Damn am I that
far gone!"

i think i'm starting to see a pattern,,, jonno will be
pleased to know that even the manager, conservative and clueless about
labour as he was, was shocked by her rudeness and general gross
offensiveness. unfortunately, i managed to miss her visit, having that
day out of the office for some pressing prior engagement, which i no
longer recall.
my notice board would definitely not have survived the next manager, who
purged the whole office of any non-official wall appendages.

I haven't worked in an office for ages. You remind me how lucky I am...
As if work itself isn't bad enough.

i'd already
moved from that section by then. my last xmas on overpayments - we we're
too bah humbug with everything to put up xmas decorations, until the last
minute, when i decided it was just too mean not to bother at all, and made
a nice little beige arch, by cutting up a disablement benefit jacket
'borrowed' from the pensions section, and inscribing 'work will make you
free'.

There is a definite smell of a blooming mutiny. I will have an eye on
the local Birmingham spot news. "Manager killed with stapler".

i attached a sprig of holly, and prepared to claim 'concept art'
if challenged, which i wasn't, which was a bit disappointing at the time.
i definitely can see patterns emerging...
several. the CEO, the first of the new agency...our old manager was a big
fan,btw, is the head of the commission which funds us now. <jokes here>

An office manager had money problems & had to fire an employee, either
Jack or Jill... He thought he'd fire the employee who came late to work
the next morning.

Well, both employees came to work very early. Then the manager thought
he would catch the first one who took a coffee break. Unfortunately,
neither employee took a coffee break.

Then the manager decided to see who took the longest lunch break -
strangely, neither Jack nor Jill took a lunch break that day, they both
ate at their desk. Then the manager thought he'd wait & see who would
leave work the earliest and both employees stayed after closing.

Jill finally went to the coat rack & the manager went up to her & said,

"Jill, I have a terrible problem. I don't know whether to lay you or
Jack off."

Jill said, "Well, you'd better jack off, because I'm late for my bus."
