Poor guy's probably in shock
...weekends only mean something when you're working. Otherwise every day's a Saturday.

What can I say ??
What a shock to my system this week has been
I feel like a bloody politician in the run up to the election........all I've done this week is wander around shaking hands and introducing myself to the others
Up at 5am and out of the door for just after 6 to do battle on Springfield Road & the Eastern Freeway carpark
The job itself is ok(cos I dunno what I'm supposed to do) but ask me again when I figure out how to work the SAP system they're using
Then its the runners laced and ready for the sprint to the door at 4pm to try and beat the traffic (not done it yet!) get home for about 6ish, have me tea and then tend to fall asleep in front of the box before Linda wakes me up to tell me to go to bed
All in I guess it's good to be back in the rat race.

rossi,
i have a few work place tips that i'll post tomorrow on the forum for u to have a look at.
Mon Sep 06, 2004 1:28 pm
Three(3) basic tips to becoming a big shot in today's corporate world:
LESSON NUMBER ONE:
A crow was sitting on a tree, doing nothing all day. A small rabbit saw the crow, and asked him, Can I also sit like you and do nothing all day?
The crow answered:
Sure, why not.
So, the rabbit sat on the ground below the crow, and rested. All of a sudden, a fox appeared, jumped on the rabbit and ate it.
Moral of the story is:
To be sitting and doing nothing, you must be sitting very, very high up.
LESSON NUMBER TWO:
A turkey was chatting with a bull,
I would love to be able to get to the top of that tree, sighed the turkey, “but I haven’t got the energy.” “Well, why don’t you nibble on some of my droppings?” replied the bull. “They’re packed with nutrients.” The turkey pecked at a lump of dung and found that it actually gave him enough strength to reach the first branch of the tree. The next day, after eating some more dung, he reached the second branch. Finally after a fortnight, there he was proudly perched at the top of the tree. Soon he was promptly spotted by a farmer, who shot the turkey out of the tree.
Moral of the story is:
Bullsh*t might get you to the top, but it won’t keep you there.
LESSON NUMBER THREE:
A little bird was flying south for the winter. It was so cold, the bird froze and fell to the ground in a large field. While he was lying there, a cow came by and dropped some dung on it. As the frozen bird lay there in the pile of cow dung, it began to realize how warm it was. The dung was actually thawing him out! He lay there all warm and happy, and soon began to sing for joy. A passing cat heard the bird singing and came to investigate. Following the sound, the cat discovered the bird under the pile of cow dung, and promptly dug him out and ate him!
Morals to the story are:
1)Not everyone who drops sh*t on you is your enemy.
2)Not everyone who gets you out of sh*t is your friend.
3)And when you’re in deep sh*t, keep your mouth shut.
IN SUMMARY:
An organization is like a tree full of monkeys, all on different limbs at
different levels, some climbing up, some fooling around and some simply
just idling
THE MONKEYS ON TOP LOOK DOWN AND SEE A TREE FULL OF SMILING FACES
THE MONKEYS ON THE BOTTOM LOOK UP AND SEE NOTHING BUT A*S HOLES...

Post Office Job
Harry Peters went to the US Post Office to interview for a job. The
interviewer asks him, "Are you a veteran?"
"Yes, I served two tours in Vietnam."
"Good, that counts in your favor. Do you have any service-related
disabilities?"
"I am 100% disabled. A mortar round blew off my testicles so they declared
me disabled, it doesn't affect my ability to work, though."
"Sorry to hear about the damage, but I have some good news for you, I can
hire you right now! Our working hours are 8 to 4. Come on in about 10, and
we'll get you started."
"If working hours are from 8 to 4, why do you want me to come at 10?"
"Well, this is a government organization. We don't do anything but sit
around and scratch our balls for the first two hours. No point of your
coming in for that"
