Question of the Week suggestions
Each week we ask a question. The idea is to generate material that's:
* interesting to read, i.e. we won't get bored of reading the answers after about 10 of them
* not been asked on this site before
* fun to answer
What would you like to ask? (We've left this question open - so feel free to drop in ideas anytime.)

The shitty end of the stick.
I'm taking voluntary redundancy at the end of June. To celebrate this fact, I've been taken off normal duties and asked to carry out a 'special project' for the agency, before the work transfers across to another department. So I'm spending the next six or seven weeks in another department that manages some funding for us, checking that 1300 files have the correct information on them 'for audit purposes' so they can be transferred into the new department. Except the department currently holding the files doesn't want to transfer them, resulting in much argumentative hilarity, with me stuck in the middle.
What soul destroying tasks has your boss asked you to do for the greater good?
