Is it Just my Office....

Post by gofi »

Because of the diverse nature of the organisation I was wondering if there are a few "truism's" which occur in all offices. Perhaps other members have had similar thoughts such as
"..Am I getting older or are trainee LINO'S getting younger, I swear the one that appeared today couldn't have even have started shaving..".
"..Can you be a PHG without a beer belly, is the recruitment process based on waist circumference.."
".. Is there any other office where so many men live with their mothers.."
Anyone else have thoughts of a similar nature , whimisical nature?.

No we have one in our office who runs around like a chicken. Probably fresh from Uni. You can of feeling sorry for them as they will get used, abused and disposed of like dirt.The best ones will never last in this bully envirement and will be marked for life.

I think you may have unearthed the criteria that RM recruitment base their selection process on. My hair IS this colour naturally and my stomach is only latent muscle, plus I only told them I live with my mum to get the job................honest

Has anyone else noticed the scar from the lobotomy they all have?

The societies of consumption and squandering of material resources are incompatible with the idea of economic growth and a clean planet.

When I started I thought that most of the guys were strange because we started in the middle of the night. Ten years later, the early starts have gone, but the guys are even weirder than before.
Sometimes my DO resembles an unsupervised school playground, populated by the slightly nutty kids that are hyper after too much sugar.
