I'm trying to make my Halloween costume of choice worksafe for Friday and am not sure I've succeeded.



What do you not agree with in the workplace?

Work
Something I very much disagree with. In fact, it is positively dibilitating.

What costume are you making for it? I must also invoke the time honoured rule: POIDH.

I disagree with work in general - anything that comes between me and sleep had better be worth it!
It's a French maid outfit, and I'm not making it; it's one I've had since the dawn of time and used to wear out as a student on Halloween, but am not sure I want to wear in an office capacity. I would dye my hair red and say I'm Magenta from Rocky Horror but it would butcher the dye I already have on it :(

Also, there is a photo but it's five years out of date!

Maid!
My tea, now!

Sounds like it probably isn't the best thing for work. Or you'd (at nest) be hearing that all day, particularly if you are already the office tea bitch.

It'll cost yer.
I'm not the office tea bitch, fortunately enough... just the everything else bitch, or so it seems sometimes!

I have rum
Sufficient payment?
(stimpy, Wed 28 Oct 2009, 18:59, Reply)

How much rum?
And does it also come with Jack Sparrow? He would live quite happily in my hall cupboard.

I would have thought a maid-outfit to be worksafe
but not sure how haloweeny it is. Perhaps wear fangs and attatch bat-wings to the back. With luck, the wings may work.

It's somewhat shorter than I remember, so I must have been completely twatted when I used to wear
it as a student. I don't have any fangs but I am tempted to dig the devil horns out and see how we get on from there...
( Maladicta, Wed 28 Oct 2009, 19:01, Reply)

You can use the devil horns as makeshift fangs

I'd like to see the result of me trying to fit them in my mouth!
I suspect it would not be pretty and give me an involuntary lip piercing...

Only a few are meant to go in mouths
Food and beer. And nicotine. Not horny things.
(stimpy, Wed 28 Oct 2009, 19:42, Reply)

Depends what kind of horny things you're talking about...

Greetings
My biggest disagreement is that I'm only allowed four weeks holiday per year. Apart from that, I agree with everything. But then again, I'm just an agreement-whore!

At least you use yours though, surely?
Mine all mounts up and then I lose bits of it...
( Maladicta, Wed 28 Oct 2009, 18:58, Reply)

I've used all mine
Alas, it was mostly for sleeping. I think companies should offer a winter hibernation option as part of their package.

I slept for a week practically the last time I had a week off. It was glorious.
Am feeling pretty drained right now, so another week in bed sounds fabulous in the extreme, especially now it's dark when I get in from work...

I actually like working
Unlike at the moment, when I don't have a job!

But in better news, I got my new camera today. Woo and Yay.

Woo and yay indeed!
Spec, good sir?

It's a Nikon D300s
12Mp. As the Maccy D ad says, I'm Lovin' It!

*jealouses*
I need a new camera something terrible...

Anything even on the horizon?
I have two jobs, neither of which I particularly enjoy but the goal for me is retirement at 50 (9 years, 13 days and counting) so I must plod on.

I've done the out of work thing myself though. It's fun for the first couple of days.

You can say that again
For the first week of so it's fun, then it gets stale very quickly.

Nothing looming yet, but I'll still be going through the motions.

My main employer
Is making a lot of people redundant at the moment. A frightening number of people, and the awful truth is that as a manager, I am the conduit through which the redundancy process passes.

The average application/acceptance ratio at the moment for vacancies is, I believe, about 90/1.

You're in a scary place and you have my empathy.
( The Disappointed Caravanner of the year, Wed 28 Oct 2009, 20:58, Reply)

Yeah, everyplace is like that at the moment
I's not good.
(Herr Doktor Lemminge Is bored, so cheer me up!, Wed 28 Oct 2009, 21:11, Reply)

I think 90/1 is the national average.
What has made this recession so hard hitting is that all sectors of employment have taken a beating.

Keep the faith.

Babies
Nothing more annoying then a gang of aul wans dropping tools to coo and gurgle over a baby.

Take it to the canteen, people... if you have to bring in your progeny.

The male equivalent of that total loss of rationale is the rush you get when a beautiful goal is scored or when Brian O'Driscoll, for example, runs the oval ball over the line for the try and yet we can't have the six nations/world cup etc on the box while we work.

Worst mistake men ever made was acknowledging women as equals.
