Yes.. prodding buttons on a computer vaguely hoping that the damn thing will do what it's supposed to..

And trying to swim against the tide of bureaucratic effluent to get anything done..

Spent the weekend talking to corporate tax advisors. These are men so dull that they are happy to arrange an 7AM Saturday breakfast meeting despite not one of them being over 30. Today I'm waiting for a planning consultant to come and look at some properties. He was coming at 1-30. It's now 3-55 . Hence the high number of posts this afternoon.

Yours, Jon Dokic

I work for a car super market and am head of the E-mail department. Sound important? Not really I am the only person doing it! You would thing that people would understand that CAR super markets sells cars, possibly commercial vehicles, but why do I get e-mails asking me if I can get tractors, JCB’s and light commercial aircrafts? I never know how to answer those people.

Dear xxxxx,

I'm pleased to inform you that we have just had a Vauxhall Vectra Airbus 320 come into stock. It's white and has 46,000 (nautical) miles on the clock.

Only slight damage to the landing gear owing to the last pilot thinking the deployment lever was a handbrake you f***ing moron !

kind regards

Not bored - but just been made redundant after 9.5 years service. Working out 1 months 'consultancy period'.
