    Usually I start on the left (that's my strong foot). Once I have kicked a few admin shapes in the left wall, I have lunch (chicken roll from spar with extra roll).

    After lunch, I tackle the right hand side, and usually I polish off the ceiling before I cycle home on my bicycle.

    Today, my administration rate was 34% which is terrible for a Monday.

    34% wouldn't be bad for a Monday if it wasn't a Tuesday. You sound like quite the administrator and I wish you all the best in you future administrative endeavours in administration :)

    used to work in an office (data entry for logistics firm) in the days when you could smoke in the workplace, it was fairly cushy first thing you would do is boil the kettle, the second was to spark up and when all the essentials were in place only then would you start hitting the keyboard. Wash rinse repeat til clocking out.
    I got bored after a few years and left it to work with children with disabilities because I felt I needed a sense of "purpose", something you're unlikely to find that doing office work.

    Why do all DJs etc say "back to the office" on Mondays when most of us probably don't work in an office?
    As for sayings like touch base? Pretentious f***ing ****e.

    DJs live in their own little world sure, Ray D'Arcy hasn't left the studio for 22 years.

    Women will like what I tell them to like.


    It's a scientific fact that the female of our species can adminstrate using only a single percent of their brain power. As such, they need the heat to stay warm.

    Apparently    .
    Women carry less fat and muscle mass than men, and so need a more efficient technique of protecting their core body temperature.

    Also if they get too hot they can't sweat to cool themselves down. We should give them more credit :pac:

    I think it was attempting humour by comparing women to dogs. If he was a more well known poster it would probably have flown.

    Repetitive work, usually
    Warm & Dry in the Winter
    Stuffy & smelly in the Summer
    Great banter with your colleagues
    Severe bitchiness with your colleagues
    Coffee
    Few opportunities to let one rip
    Short skirts
    Clocks that seems to go backwards
    Monthly pay :mad:
    Getting paid every month :D
    Nowhere to hide the day after the Christmas party
    Yes men
    Endless, endless meetings involving 'blue sky thinking'

    Best of all is the day you leave
