Finally an Anti Mist Visor System That Works

Yes, it was you.

I still see the same customers as a customer myself. Plus, alot of my
mates have them.

 

<chomp>

 

I've got American friends who still talk about their two weeks holiday
and after 20 years service they get three.
That smacks of living to work not working to live.

 

Possibly why the (Shoei) documentation says to remove inner visor and
carefully clean once a week.

Hmmm.

 

The Shoei visor was £45 + vat

 

It really has transformed my helmet. (!)

I can keep the visor closed the whole journey - about
1/2 hour commute.

 

Speaking with friends of mine in California there seems to be some
flexibility with the ability to accrue extra time of (time in lieu) and
also working bank holidays rather than taking leave.

They figure they can get in the region of 4 weeks in reality; which is
the same as the UK legal minimum... less bank holidays.

 

Somebody (can't remember who) said to me recently that it's practically
mandatory to take all your sick leave by the end of the year.

 

The Frogs do that, and more.

 

This is *fucking* insane.

 

Yes, I think this is true, and not just the IT industry. I know that
some of my US colleagues, doing essentially the same IT-based role,
are on slightly higher salaries than the Swiss ones with a similar tax
burden, and UK employees are on slightly less. But that's on a very
small sample and may not be statistically significant.

Only if they're allowed to. In practise I don't think many do.

 

You can come and watch it in action in my office, if you like. The
fact that it doesn't seem to work doesn't deter them, either. Which is
more than a little odd.

 

Came across that at Marconi. A useless fart who was in charge of a
section of ATE Division would always be in early. He would stand with
his jacket off, some where between the main entrance and the Divisional
managers office door as soon as he saw the DM park his car in it's slot.
Similar sort of thing would happen in the evening.

 

You say that as if it is a surprise to you. Surely you've seen such
bizarre work practices?

 

We've got one of those. But, suddenly, he's no longer my boss... <happy
dance>

 

They didn't used to approve of any staff with facial hair at one time, I
don't know if that's still true.

Bastards. We don't get a pen.

I did once read somewhere that our managers can requisition various
'recognition items' which are then billed against the department code -
so that never happens either.

It's *so* rock and roll.

 

I heard that about them.
