The problem is when they forget the "ex" bit - we have one of those at work, too.

That would apply to SNCOs Mala....

Us Erks just forget how to say 'NO SIR'!!!



GT

Run, Mal! He's started using their funny language on us!

'OY!'

Stand to attention when addressing an officer!!!



GT

You OK, NAAFI Queen???



GT

advantages of working with ex soldiers who still think they are in the army

wednesday - sports afternoon, come lunch time tell him your playing football and will see him in the morning and knock off

friday - poets day, come lunchtime tell him your off down the pub and if you dont see him out on friday night youll see him on monday morning

you can cut corners and when he finds out you just say 3Bs

when it all goes wrong blame him by saying 7Ps

10 til 10:30 down tools for NAFFI break

PH: zips on skirts that haven't been finished off properly at the top, and constantly dig in and itch all day. And this wasn't a cheapo skirt neither!

People who let you do all the work, take all the credit in the meeting, talk about what all they're going to do, and then tell you to do it as soon as everyone else has left the meeting room

Mala, they are called team leaders - have less knowledge than you, get more money than you, more promotions than you...so either shut up or kick them in the wedding tackle.

Smoking. Don't do it near me you planks, and if I ask you not to, I expect courtesy and for you NOT TO. Or were you raised by apes?

Rabid antismokers. When everyone at my table agrees I can have one with the after supper coffee and someone six tables away stares at me and makes choking noises...I just go there and strangle him.

Ahhh you have those magic cigarettes whose smoke doesn't drift more than 3 feet from the lit end?

As an ex-smoker I do see what Pit means... if you're in an area where smoking is permitted and none of the party you are with has objected it's frankly rude for someone half a room away to start glaring and spluttering.

PH: my porrige is too hot.

PH: feeling like I'm the only one in the office who cares enough to change the toner/get new paper when the printer has run out... this morning someone had put a load of used paper in the printer, presumably because it was easier than walking all the way to the next 'hub' (all of 30 yards away) to get a new box.

RE smoking, if they ask me can they smoke first, all is fine because I usually say yes. If they're 300 yards away I leave 'em to it. If they're next to me, there shall be a problem. Sometimes.

PH: my printer. No ink. Argh. Plus there's a paper jam in it which no one has bothered to sort out yet so guess who has to do it when she's got 20 pages of English crap to print at 3am? Urrrrrrrrrrrgh. Even worse is the pronter I have for uni- it's one of those ones where you load the paper in at the top,and regularly jams. When I'm printing a stupidly large thing, whatever it may be, I prefer to hit print, go and make a coffee and come back to see all going smoothly. Quite often it does not.

Death to the annoying printer, WHO'S WITH ME? *picks up lit pitchfork* LOL.
