Things you'd like to say, but can't

No footie for me, I will be watching the Tour

I work in an office of footie obsessives

Hmmm...I've known one or two bosses like that.

Thankfully this isn't my current boss. He's the exact opposite and guess what? Everything works pretty well, even in a crisis, (and in addiction/psych rehab there's a crisis every half an hour)

Baddiel, Skinner & Lightning Seeds - you've got a lot to answer for.

Background: Yesterday, personal message at a weekend from a manager who isn't supposed to have my number, who I don't trust and have deliberately never done any favours for asking whether I can work yesterday! Another message from another manager asking whether I can work for minimum wage at a distant site that it's cost quite a chunk of change to drive to or get the train to, 3-10pm.

HAHAHAHAHA.

Hopefully someone will be having their collar felt soon...

I dunno, it wasn't a happy place when I was forced to 'play' sports in high school...

Come to think of it, the people making it unpleasant were remarkably similar to the people in the IKEA store...

It's funny how this is "just a tiny minority" but when someone gets carved up by a cyclist somehow we are all to blame.

'Bonification' is not a word. Try 'bonus'.

Even Ned can't say it with a straight face.

Oh, this reminds me. I (waves to all the agile developers!) have Retrospectives. A few years ago, some management idiots said "let's have a futurespective"

ENGLISH HAS A WORD FOR THAT. IT'S PROSPECTIVE!

Phew. Carry on.

If I did that everytime then no one would get any work done because we would be too busy sorting out the f**k**s
