On the job...
Mandy Wright
people (all very pleasant and welcoming) and I can only remember about
five of their names... great coffee 'on tap', this is a good thing!
I was however lucky not to find a nice big sign on my new desk
announcing 'Mandy Wright, Chief Slut, ****** Ltd'!! My immediate boss
has read a month's worth of d.l, treated me to a few notable quotes, and
although tempted to do the above decided I may be overwhelmed by the
gesture!!! I now have to do some more digging in return as I'm now in
possession of his home email address.
Please... excuse all the exclamation marks, I've had a few surprises
today. ;)

I understand that, although to a large extent I *am* what I post to
usenet so they'd have found out soon enough. At least this way they
knew before I had the job and *still* employed me, this has to be a good
thing... my personality comes with me to work.

No, despite his name. Er, my name.
One of the first groups I ever read was alt.fan.british-accent, where
ANNA was one of the leading lights. I don't think I ever posted there
-- this was before the days of Deja News, so we'll never know -- but I
gazed, transfixed, from afar. Or something.
HB and MHROTD for the other day, ANNA.

So, this is Mandy's boss. Now protocol dictates that Mandy cannot
welcome him even though she is Chief Slut so much as I hate the job,
someone's gotta do it.
I hereby welcome you <thwack> Marcus. Would you like a slut on your

What, on the job on the job?
I read the other day that there are rules preventing lawyers from having
sex with their clients. The idea is that you can't be charged twice for
essentially the same service.

Which probably means it's time to repost this joke;
It was published in a legal magazine about 5years ago and is allegedly
a true story.
The chap in the magazine wrote a spoof lawyer's problem page which
went something like this...
"I am a solicitor. About 6 months ago a client, an attractive blonde
divorcee, visited our offices for help with a complaint about her new
vacuum cleaner which did not work. Our eyes met across the desk and
within seconds we were making mad passionate love. She has visited
the office three times now and each time the same thing has happened,
what should I do?
Agony Uncle Replies - the vacuum cleaner is clearly not of merchantable
quality, and your client has redress under the Sale of Goods Act."
Allegedly this turned up in an American newspaper about 6 months
later as an example of a real problem and the solution as the
real reply.

Yeah, I don't like long sigs myself. Waste of bandwidth. However, I
type the 'Markus' bit myself (and sometimes change it), and my
understanding is that the 4x70 restriction starts at the line *after*
the dash-dash-space. Anyone care to confirm or refute?

Cor! A whole delegation! No one's ever paid me 'umble littly siggy
much notice until now.
All right, by popular demand, I've moved my name into my sig, underneath
the double-dash-space. Be patient with me when my name appears twice,
'cos in other newsgroups I type my name by hand, and old habits die
hard.

Ask Mandy whether I look like an air hostess (especially with the three
days' growth I'm showing at the moment). I am to air hostessing what
Mariah Carey is to spot welding. Besides, the plane would lurch from
side to side every time I leant over a passenger.

It did, thanks. It was a bit of a tear-jerker, though: the bride and
groom lost a baby on the operating table recently, and they stopped
during the wedding service to honour her properly. A number of close
friends actually turned up to the wedding in black. It was an unusual
service, but I think they did the right thing and they did it well.

whether this is better or worse.

I hope not. Mandy learns fast and looks like being a valuable asset in
the very near future (i.e. by the middle of this week, if not before).
I should point out that I read her Web site and her d.l contributions
*before* her first interview, not after. They told me what I wanted to
know: that she has energy, technical competence, intelligence and
optimism, copes with adversity, and likes people (and they like her).
There's plenty of room in ****** Ltd for people like that.
Whether describing yourself as Chief Slut would help or hinder your
chances, Tim, is something I can only speculate about. Just like the
origin of our silly name, '****** Ltd'.

Nope: Alta Vista for the Web site (since it might not have been with
Demon) and Deja News for Usenet. As it happens, the results were the
same as if I'd just used the brute-force approach, but then I wouldn't
have known if I'd found everything. [Evil cackle]

That's only worth doing if you use a pseudonym in one sphere or the
other. AltaVista turns up Mandy's Web site in seconds.

You could have lowered it a bit so it didn't hide half your face! and
so smoothly shaven there too.. Vee like's a bit of stubble, unlike me
who ends up with a crusty chin when I encounter a hint of stubble.
Hmmm, perhaps if I'm going to continue with complying with your wish for
me not to use my favourite perfume at work, and to smoke well upwind
from you when we're discussing work-related things outside, I should ask
you to ensure you shave every morning?? ;)

Yeah, but I had the camera for most of the day, so I think I escaped

My dearly beloved refers to it as a chin scourer.

That might be difficult to explain to MDB. Perhaps we should
compromise. I'll wear no more than three days' growth, and you wear
some other perfume and smoke something non-allergenic (such as
parsnips).
Or perhaps I should go and talk to Vee instead. [Pout]
