How terribly grown up

Weirdly so from me eh?

I've always had a problem with this - everyone in the company/team/whatever is paid to come in and some people take the p*ss. Stuff they don't do becuase they're too lazy has to be done by someone else...

Me too....it's not work's fault you can't handle yer pop. Why not try having one or two less?

In Timothy's defence, he does stumble in regardless of how hungover he is...

Reason being, he has a stupid job where he gets paid for coming on HL, eating Pot Noodle, crumpling up bits of paper and throwing them around, and having the occasional very loud argument with me...

Did I come over as pointing the finger at Tim...if so I apologise. It was more a sweeping statement directed at anyone who gives in to the resulting effects of the night before

Sweeping statements, I can dig...

In my case I had sole responsibility for the work I was doing so nobody else was landed with it when I was off - it just meant I had to catch up when I got back, so I only had my own guilt to deal with. In previous jobs (that I hated) I didn't skive precisely because the workload was shared and I didn't want to land my colleagues with extra work - plus I would have been fired!

Hey, I've not had a dig at anyone apart from Ozpat here. If the cap fits though...
