On a tangentally related note, I was asked to take this[^] down when I was working full time at a customer in Canberra during my last full time position. I'm not sure why.

At most of my previous employments, I have had THIS[^] one hanging at my desk (have yet to print it out and hang it at my present job)... Nobody has commented on it yet.
But many years ago, I created a small windows app that showed a form in the lower right corner of the desktop (by the systray) containing a timer showing how long it was until the end of the working day. When all of my collegues asked me if they could have the app, my boss told me to get rid of it and gave me a warning for anti-social behaviour. Can you believe it? That elephanting sunshine! Anti-social? ME??? Elephant off!

Why did you not make it a screensaver?

Could have, but I wanted it running while I was using the computer - to give me hope that at one time, I would get out of the prison they called work!
I think that was what pissed my boss off: The idea that being off work was more desirable than being ON work. I know most employers like to have people who work overtime without pay etc, and I've met a lot of people actually doing it. But personally, I stopped doing that 30 years ago when I discovered that no-one ever thanked me for my work or time put in...

Those usually are the same bosses who insist that you honor every paragraph in your contract to the letter, except only those cases when it's in their favor. I have no problem with doing overtime when it's needed, but if the boss insist on being correct, then let's be correct.

Exactly! That was also the employer where I developped my price winning method of doing as little actual work as possible without getting into trouble - while utilizing their broadband connection to the max...

But who's to say that the aliens won't be bone chewers that don't want to waste time digging through the fat to get to what they really want?

Actually, we don't have to be all that fast. Just faster than you...

Diminishing returns - you have to keep being faster than the next as the next disappears.

I object to that poster...
It doesn't read properly. "Just be ugly at from £14.99 per month" doesn't make any sense.

I love the we don't take ourselves too seriously. Perhaps you shouldn't take yourself to seriously either if you agree with this story. *cough* Natalie *cough*
Fortunately for myself. I am good looking and fat. I don't mind the fat it keeps me warm at night. And if they come for me that is what the arsenal is for. I am in the US after all.

...and straight into the Coopers Sparkling Ale. If Maunder were here, I'd wouldn't let him have any, the schmiddy shandy drinking girl from Canadia he is.

Can't remember if it's the last 4 or 5 times Maunder has been back to Australia, but we plan to meet up for a drink and every single time I've rung him up and he's had some excuse about his local not being able to make him a skim soy latte and that is why we can't meet up.
He owes big time.

If it's any consolation - and I doubt it is - I treasure my ignorance of what a "skim soy latte" is, or where one might find one.

You don't call that a man's drink, do you? Get into Dan Murphy's and buy yourself some good English ale.

Bitch Please. Looking at the labels they top out at about 4.5% alcohol and are recommended to be served at about 37° Celsius. Utter shite (except for few good ones I have lucked out on)

Of course, you've got to serve them at room temperature or how else are you going to taste the full flavour. Get in there and buy some Newcastle Brown Ale.
You can drink Foster's ice cold. There's no flavour to it anyway. It's there to cool you down and tastes better than tap water.
