That when the boss leaves a voicemail saying “Return my call as soon as possible” what he really means is ‘Travel back in time three minutes and call me first’

How about a Boss (Higher than my Boss) that books a meeting with No title nor agenda, between you/him and the head of HR!

It was mundane in the end, but I thought it was because somebody grassed me up on looking for other work. This place would find a way to sack you and therefore avoid paying any extra hours to somebody that no longer gives a hoot.

(1) That people not familiar with statistics should not be let loose near numbers. This especially includes people in HR. 20% of employees say they do not want to be working here in the next 12 months. HR stated that 80% wanted to stay and put it as a high scoring positive!!!! HELLO!!!! COFFEE!!!!
In an area where there is between 0 and maybe 5 Defence/Aero jobs within 30 miles, 20% want to be away within a year? That is a serious problem!
(I’m one who voted that way, and hopefully I’m gone V soon!)

(2) That all street surveys are based on 100% of people that are too dim to avoid a student with a clipboard.

(3) I need a 10 week holiday on a Beach. Yesterday, I was thinking I needed a 2 week holiday.

Learnt two things today, all in the same split second.

1. When applying electricity to 50 a year old Canberra panel (lights), check circuits prior to hook-up.

2. Make sure that cat (idly watching on same desk) is not impeded, and can exit room safely, without having to pole-axe would be electrician, after resulting loud bang and sparks flying across room.
