Jamie the Chav
I year or so ago I had to interview for an assistant IT bod at my place of work. The wage was piss-poor so the candidates were pretty much the same. The only chap who stood out was a chav called Jamie who'd spent a few years working at a local quarry. He seemed a decent sort and bright enough to learn what he needed to but in the end I hired him because his birthday was the same as mine.
Roll forward a year and he's doing my job (I've moved to Prague) and hired his own assistant.
Dull story but I know he reads this page as well so I thought I'd take the opportunity to say
GET ON WITH YOUR JOB YOU WORK-SHY CHAV.
Next interview I do must include the tortoise question from Blade Runner.
Ttfn.

» Mugged
hartspark you cynic
Do you not think the man, responding to your obvious displeasure, lied and gave you 10 quid of his own to soften the blow?
If someone picks up a stash of cash then tells the owner they've got it, it's a cert they'll have to give all or none of it back.
That's what I think anyway, there are lots of good people in the world it's just the media reminds us that we're not safe entirly and a news bulletin of "furby makes it to the shops and has quite a good experience being left to his thoughts and enjoying prompt service" wouldn't really interest anyone.
and sorry 'cause this isn't a mugging story.
To make up for it, I was mugged (kindof) in Bath by two blokes who wanted a fag. I'm fairly large but useless and I was going hypo (I'm diabetic) so weak as a kitten. I won a black-eye and further distrust of society but they got nothing and now I live in Prague so living well is the best form of revenge.

» Office Christmas Parties
Small IT company
I used to work for in the country-side.
Great folks one and all (all being 10 when I left).
I was there for two chrimbo's and both times we'd work chrimbo eve-eve and organise so we didn't have to drive any-where.
Around 11am we'd get the beers out then in the evening some of our local customers would come round to look on bemused as we drunkenly swore at each other and our joint inability to play quake.
Thinking back it was watermeloning great and pisses on any ritz type affairs I've endured since, even with drunken MD antics in Bath or cocain fueled debauchery (not mine) in Prague.
