And when at last the work is done. Don't sit down, it's time to dig another one

Dunno why people get attached to all the RM equipment and accoutrements. It's just stuff you do your job with. If you don't have the stuff, you can't do your job. And that's not really for you to worry about, is it? Management always try to shift it back on me to sort things out. I'm not paid to micro-manage so they get my well practiced blank look. Ignorance and feigned stupidity is bliss.

Not an attachment.. an annoyance.

I understand your point... and would and do push back to managment (i use that term loosely)

I just do not understand why people steal from their workmates (and i use that term loosely)

Because the people are selfish now, they don't see anything wrong with taking something that isin't theirs, just like they don't care what damage is caused by coming in early.......or using their own cars............or cutting corners etc.
i blame Thatcher, 'no such thing as society', never been the same since. :sad:


Don't blame Margret Thatcher as she was a truelly wonderfull PM. I cannot think of a better leader. God I'm getting a twinge. :whistle :whistle :whistle

Well the latest trick now is to look what uniform is arriving in the office and open the plastic bag and take it from there, so now when the uniforms arrive its all taken to the Prio Locker to stop the pilfering. :no no
