Oh I am, but I'm lazy. I wouldn't be bothered enough to do the whole 6,000+ as someone else.

Quiet grafter? Ha, attention seeking megalomaniac that likes to browbeat cowering colleagues into abject submission, more like.

It bloody would be if I ever deigned to show up.

Don't worry, I'm not bitter.

Deigned?

Come on, this is the idiot you're talking to here, don't get smart.

Bitter? You're as bitter as a bag of sugar, no back to beating Mentalist into submission. Or Millhouse - he's been tardy and needs a warning.

So who would you employ and who would you most definitely not?
I would give someone a job based on an interview and looking at their credentials - what they post here might influence my decision but it wouldn't be an overriding factor.

Ah yes. I'd employ kittycat1 as she's not a bigot. She's the cat who would shag a dog. Allegedly...

I didn't say I'd do it - just getting all the info so I can make an informed decision, and that is why you would employ me

KC - you'd be good to employ, you're the type that wants to do everyone elses work for them. I'd give you my workload.

I'd need someone to talk to about footie, so Spugsy or CDB or Bahtat.

I'd need someone to talk to about rugby, so The Dean. Also, he could be very useful for light bulb changing in the office.

Patsy, you'd be employed at reception to offer such lovely welcomes to everyone. Unless someone walked in called Darling. Then we'd be in the shit.

Britexpat, wouldn't employ you but I'd chuck you 10dhs every day to sit at the bottom of the building drunk.

Gossipers - Lalalayla, Busybee, Original Sunshine, you would all be at the water/moet fountain gossiping about my new hair cut.

Mikewot would be the office manager, dishing out written warnings for when millhouse is late.

I know I'm missing people but, you know.I think I've covered a lot of ground here.

There's a post open for being my tea boy? Shiva? You could deliver tea with a barrel of swear words, we'd laugh, shout some more, laugh and then you'd scuttle back to relax before we repeat.
you have hair?!
