How to subtly tell the boss to STFU
I used to have a boss who would distract me for ages whenever I asked even the simplest of questions. To give him the hint he was taking too long (we used to sit next to eachother), I'd reduce the time it took for my screensaver to appear in the hope he'd be reminded he was taking ages.

Why not change it to scrolling marquee saying 'You're taking ages'?

you devious bastard


reminds me of a cunning nephew of mine whose job it was to make the tea on a building site and who would always make it extra hot so it would take ages for his boss to drink it... therefore prolonging the tea break...

and that just reminded me of another chap I know who had the same task and decided to lace the tea with mushrooms. Cue carpenters taking massive strides over bits of 4 x 2 other fellas wheeling each other around on wheelbarrows and then making forts out them and a foreman left scratching his head, then his nuts, then the weird gravelly stuff on the walls and then trying to listen to the ground to tune in 'big momma'..

off to the spiegeltent for booze fags and northern soul !

fuck yeah, yo diggity and so on and so forth...
