Re: Wot tings ave yous learrnt tooday?
Something I learnt yesterday...
A colleague who is useless, was replaced at the start of term. I learnt however, when she called up yesterday, that no one's actually told her she no longer has a job. Lucky I'm highly qualified in the art of bullshite. It's not my place to tell her. Tad embarrassing though.

Wonder when they are planning to tell her

As soon as flaming possible I hope. She's asking questions that because she no longer has a right to know, I can't answer honestly. Whilst I don't like the woman, and whilst she's totally fricking useless, this is a nightmare.

1) That you should never use burgundy hair dye near a pale blue bathmat......four washes later its still there 
2) Kitchen floors should be scrubbed more than once every 11 months even if the kitchen is only the size of a broom cupboard
3) If you put out a couple of hob nobs on the back porch you can attract a whole flock of rosellas, but if you put out food labelled "Guaranteed to attract parrots and rosellas" they will turn up their beaks and go elsewhere
4) Being at work really IS more relaxing than having four days off

That people 'wasting' visa's and/or attempting to scam the immigration process, pisses me off more than it ever did before now that I'm an Australian Citizen.

Re: Wot tings ave yous learrnt tooday?
As life is a glorious journey filled with wondrous experience we constantly learn new things (wretch).... today I've discovered
1) The Yanks call Tunisia 'Tune - eesh - year'
2) My 1 year old cat, Outboard, can lay a turd the size of King Kong's finger
3) A massive brown stripey spider found in the car can evade an industrial hoover
What about yous?
