Lesley started her uni foundation course this week (Art)

At present she is sitting on the couch making a detailed

AOL, or similar, but I'm just waaaaay too late. :-(

A friend of mine doing teaching practice in Hull had a girl tell him she
needed a stool. He sent her to the cupboard. Guess what they found
later...

If someone tells a dull story at Cane's office, at the end they say
"but what about the crocodile".

Bet you feel better for knowing that, eh?

fair enough, but how did *that* start?

>Bet you feel better for knowing that, eh?

loads, thanks.

I'm moving desks this weekend, and have just amazed myself to find how
much crap I've accumulated in my desk pedestals in only 7 months.

This in turn has led me to be amazed that I've actually been in
corporateland for 7 months and I've not attacked anyone with an axe
yet.

I'm brutal with not accumulating crap - if it's not used on a daily
basis, it goes in the bin. And if it turns out that it was important,
I can always borrow another from a colleague :-)

Well, the first few months are probably the worst. You'll probably
find yourself sinking into the anaesthetised corporate mind set about
now. Do you find yourself reading Dilbert every day?

this is all "crap" relating to the project I'm involved with - I can't
actually throw any of it way. Although in theory it's "just a CMS to
produce a few websites" it's actually a very complex and complicated
project, with business sponsors from all corners of the business, and
each have their own valid requirements specficiation documents, and
the equivalent technical solutions documents that I've produced.

My desktop is covered in all sorts of documentation,upgrade notes, CD's
etc. It makes me look like I'm really busy without actually having to do
any real work.

it's brilliant - you really need to go back a few years and start
nearer the beginning if you're going to have any chance getting some
of the jokes.

In our place they have 'desk snoops' now to make sure you're not
leaving sensitive info liying around.

Like my pay slip, maybe, showing how little I get paid...that's pretty
sensitive at the moment.

Not only agreeing with it, but actually looking for Scott Adams, and
expecting him to be sat right behind my chair, looking at what goes

I'd like to get a job somewhere else before that happens. I'm not
really the axe-wielding type, TBH.
