How much the people in the payroll department like or dislike you usually affects how accurate your wages will be !

the hygiene standards for food prepared in cinemas is worse than that of male student digs

and for those cinemas that still sell butter... theres usually never been actual butter anywhere near their 'kitchen'......

every place i've worked has had someone urinate/defecate/fornicate on the premises(not bathroom) with minimal cleanup.

and no they're not overcharging you for movie tickets just everything else they sell

There are infact only a handful of journalists in the world. The rest of us just copy, paste and re-order what they wrote.

Don't forget vomit. Surprisingly (or rather, not so) common in cinemas.

AnonoBoy · 27-11-2008 03:21PM

Jizz is surprisingly fun to mop up on a nightly basis.

If you lose your statement and walk into your bank for a copy we charge you 1euro a page for "administration reasons"

It's easy to print off and it can be done for free if we know/like you but why drop a moneyspinner!
Plus it keeps people away so we can do less work printing the damn things

You can't check a building properly after its fully built.

The IT guy doesn't ignore because he's busy. He ignores you because he doesn't like you.

Haha, it's funny what you come across when you are someone's mechanic! Viagra pills, class A drugs, married men with condoms stashed under the drivers seat!

As a corollary: When he tells you that your problem will take a long time to fix, he's lying. He just doesn't like you.

If he liked you, he'd just reboot your machine.

Just a sec. Got an error so I gotta reboot.
Then I'm gonna tell you everything wrong about that

"NEW AND IMPROVED RECIPE" on food items means that the manufacturer has replaced some or all of the original ingredients in your product with cheaper ones. They try and maintain a consistency of flavour but there main concern is to make it more cheaply.

Our IT guy operates the 3 strikes rule. You have to ask him 3 times to do whatever task you need doing before he will even consider getting up from his desk. You'd be amazed at the amount of people who ask once and then forget about it. He reckons most IT related requests are just simpletons who don't know what Ctrl, Alt and Delete do when pressed together.

Measuring tapes can be bought in the USA for E1.00 each and sold in Ireland for E15.00 each. Same general rule of mark up applies to almost any construction equipment you can think of.....

The biggest secret is everyone you think doesn't know these things, already does

When your company has bought an accounts package from a software company they in turn are giving strangers access to your financial and personal details. a majority of the time the IT (who you'll probably never meet)staff of this company that develop/install/support that system have more information at their disposal than would be required to commit identity fraud. with little or no measures to stop them doing so.

Also a majority of companies have very few if any security measures in place to protect some of your most valuable information.

*I'm sure that this isn't very surprising to anyone who have herd about bank security blunders in the new recently.

Do chefs really wash there hands every tim they handel raw meet or fish ?

Nope.

If you manage to get a hold of me on the phone and I give you my email address and tell you to email me with whatever, I'm not going to even think about your query for about a week after you mail me.

thebman · 27-11-2008 03:54PM

If you stop me in the hall and say have you a second and tell me your IT request, I'm not going to remember it, I was walking somewhere to do something else and my mind will be on that.

James Forde · 27-11-2008 04:04PM

Most people can't tell the difference between pints of Budweiser/Heineken and or Carlsberg.

Same goes for Vodka and Gin.

Earthhorse · 27-11-2008 04:05PM

Not that this matters in these modern fangled, doo-hickey times but...

If you are tallying up two columns worth of numbers and the totals don't match but should, take one total away from the other; if the result is divisable by nine then you most likely made a transposition error in one of the columns.

27-11-2008 04:08PM

The amount of IT info here leads me to deduce that a lot of us boards daytime wasters are IT people...not me though!!

Actually, with the first one i'd wager people just think they got a dodgy pint :P I know i've been unsure when drunk as to whether its a crap pint or something else.
