# this is good!
as a friend on facebook said yesterday...

If you had left a shop without paying for something, then offered to pay after you had been exposed, you would not be exempt from prosecution.

old horse face Beckett was so out of her depth it was hilarious.

(I helped save b3ta! Joliet, Fri 15 May 2009, 9:29, archived)
# sadly not
unfortunately there was only one thing up for discussion last night.

What would be the point of printing articles from non-existant journalists?

# They've sacked most of their resident journalists which means they save on paying their salary and the cost of sending them to the game
instead they just use Getty images and they get a cricket report from a generic source, effectively getting an entire article for nowt.

I've left my copy at home today so I don't have the details to hand

I have to say though, my MP is a fucking star.
I chatted to him in the pub a couple of weeks back and congratulated him on his voting record. I've also checked his expenses, and despite the fact he is eligable for a second home allowance, he doesn't claim it, and instead claims for London weighting (nothing unusual there), and his travel expenses consist of his Oystercard.

as she did notice the overclaim herself and paid it back without being asked in 2006.

There will be genuine mistakes in any form of administered scheme, and this would appear to be one of them. To me anyway.

# *snuggle*
right. I now have to get my arse handed to me by my account manager, as I've not sorted a query that was raised with me at half four yesterday, about a feed I thought went in correctly, due to never having any training on how to load it and being left on my own to sink or swim in a new, much more stressful job (I changed jobs as my doctor was seriously worried about my stress levels)

the buck rests with the account manager usually, so ask him/her why you haven't been trained and was left on your own. You should find a change in attitude from them

# Because she was on holiday for two weeks.
As was my line manager, and at the moment, so is the woman who USED to do this job, who is the only one with any working knowledge of the stuff I need to use.

I need to go back to the doctors to get him to give me bigger anti depressants, when I do I just know he's going to have a go at me because I won't let him sign me off.

# ask them
if the job was so important, ask why was this situation allowed to arise.

# Line managaer and account manager
on leave at the same time... fucktards!

As Moz once said, just do your best and don't worry.

I've found myself in similar situations, having to deal with stuff I've got no knowledge of, and no one to help. I just try and defuse the situation as best I can. when your superiors return tell them how you dealt with the difficult situatuion you found yourself in and if they've got any decency (unlikely) they'll appreciate your effort under difficult circumstances.

Or maybe that's just bollox and I should realise we don't live ion that kind of world.
