You're lucky...we don't have issues at our place, we have "opportunities to improve"

My personal favourite is "heads-up" as in letting you know. Trouble is most people who say that have their heads so far up their own arses that it always make me smile

Bit strange seeing as I'd decided on a career in therapy. But the therapy job I was offered paid $6K less per year than the geology job, so y'know basically I can be bought cheaply, but you knew that already

Sounds like a rock solid career move, I guess you could just feel it was the right decision in your water. If someone gets fired from your place does that mean that they are dehydrated

GIS? sounds pretty funky anyway
And yeah, a bit of a difference to the other job...goodluck with it

Just need me to pull my finger out and get a bit of luck now *l*
