There's talk of them wanting sales to double over the next three years. Not even South Korean robots could deliver that kind of upscaling.Quote:

You better hurry up and start banging her so.
You don't even have to fully bang her. My wife knows some daft woman who gives a coworker a daily lunch time blowjob in a supermarket car park, said woman wonders why this fella isn't arsed about leaving his wife for her :D
And people thought workplace sitcoms are finished. Jimmy's place clearly shows potential.
Never happening.Quote:

Hmmm dunno. Not worth thinking about cos it’s not how it is. I don’t think we’d have got as close as we are if either of us were single - something sort of comforting/safe about being best mates with a member of the opposite sex if both are taken and not looking to be unfaithful. Like we’ve had some serious chats about what people must think, and our intentions (be mates, and she’s told me off in the past for being too complimentary about her appearance), but it genuinely all feels above board.Quote:

Like if I’m upbeat, it’s contagious and she’s happy, so when I’m not, she doesn’t like it. Especially cos we spend so much time together. I dunno, it’s probably weird and inappropriate for anyone on the outside looking in but I’m just enjoying it while I can. Like I can’t imagine a day without chatting now, just a constant stream of conversation, a mix of finding each other hilarious or geeing the other up. She’s lovely, best sidekick ever.
Plus she buys really thoughtful gifts. Can’t wait to go to her wedding in Summer and show all her friends and family how class I am.
I feel like I could have written that...
Need Mike's response here really, for balance.
He’s never met her
If it all feels "above board" send that post to your wife.
Nah I think she’s already sick of hearing about her without having to read about her too :sst:
Some Monday morning fun here. Everyone is breathalysed every morning and the tolerance is 0.0, anything over beeps red and at the very least you're booted off site for the day. One joker decided to pump a load of hand gel in the tester so the whole early shift has come in and blown red. Funny to us but H&S are flapping now because they aren't sure someone did it to cover their tracks (ie. was on a bender yesterday) so to prevent a pissed up geezer potentially crashing a telehandler or some such, they've taken the safe route and pulled the full site in and now they're queued up outside the nurse's office to piss in a pot. :D
Piss tests are going to flag up someone for weed I bet. We've had to move away from them at our place because it stays in your system for so long that you could get blitzed in Amsterdam on the Friday before returning to the country and work on the Monday. You're fine but it's still in your system. Company insisted on zero tolerance, but there was an argument over the technicality being 'under the influence.' So they've changed the entire testing procedure now.
Yeah that's why we're saying it's a bit of a wild reaction by H&S but they don't see it that way. Although they all seem to have dispersed now and there's no way they've all had time to do it so I imagine someone with a brain has stepped in.
Another site down the road had to stop testing for all except when there was an incident because they kept losing all their welders to coke. Anyone in the industry will know a welder that isn't partial to a Santa's eyebrow is usually a shit welder.
Some clown at my spot has apparently been caught positive for coke though his facebook post last weekend saying 'Friday Feeling' and a picture of a line racked up probably didn't help.
Every single morning? Christ.Quote:

One of the girls I went to school with got her kids back from Social Sevices, only to put similar pictures on Facebook, get grassed up and have them taken away again. The blow up afterwards where she tried to find the grass was equal parts tragic and hilarious. Yes love, they're the problem. People really can be spectacularly thick.Quote:

Yes I am pretty sure the Railway is 0.5% rather than a flat 0.0%.
It's our Client's policy. Fuck knows why.Quote:

:D the costs associated with doing all this must be peak, peak sillybollocks.
Breathalysing people on the way into work is proper weapons-grade arse covering. I'm sure any such environment needs everyone to be sober to operate the machinery, but surely most places go on the is he slurring speech / stumbling as he walks test.
I’ve heard of it before but I thought it was more of a random check at any point rather than strictly every single morning.
Surely if you fancy a day off you just eat some poppy seed bread and wait for the results to come back
Presumably the time off is unpaid and can take a while.
Well since eating bread isn’t illegal I’m not sure how they could get away with that.
But then again I work for the council and can get 6 months full pay off so what do I ken
When I was working in a lab making specs I'd have failed a breathalyser most days, jeez.
It's paid. Usually get results back in 2-3 days.Quote:

That's mental and anyone not taking the piss to get free days off should be ashamed of themselves.
I'm more thinking how much poppy seed bread would I have to eat to get high? Sounds like a challenge.
But then you've got to come in and get yourself hauled in for a test. Like I said it's not the norm like alcohol testing and simply walking up to the nurse and saying "test me" will set alarm bells off. Unless you fancied causing an incident on site you'd have to tip yourself off anonymously somehow.Quote:

I've still not heard about the IS job, eight days later. Tbf they said they're in no rush.
Also come to the crushing realisation that while I love the people I work with, and the company who have been very good with me, I fucking HATE my day to day job. I need more than 'yes doctor we have your email our team will respond withing five working days' x20 a day.
Another interview tomorrow anyway.
You're very up and down.
Are there any other tasks you can take on or asked to be trained in? That's probably the thing that stops my job being mind-numbing.Quote:

Pussy only holds a good man down.

Very surprising results, hard to imagine how the companies could be doing just as good if not better with one less day of useless cunts knocking around every week.
You must be out of your mind if you're against something like this for us common plebs. Would be the greatest life change for most people in a hundred years
People will just fill the extra day off with another job and inflation will go up because we're not allowed nice things.
Will schools still be Monday to Friday? :worried: Teachers usually end up getting shafted, so fingers crossed they do again. No offence mo, scousepig, Mike and RL’s missus.
Glad to hear it. :)Quote:
