SKis and burglary

Ben Blaney was seen penning the following ode to ... whatever:

Well, I do stick personal mail into the out tray. After sticking a
stamp on, that is, but then again they're thoughtful enough to sell
those in the cafeteria.

 

I mostly don't take a lunch hour. Not because I'm a workaholic, but
because when I get going on something, it doesn't occur to me. For me
to take one, it usually requires someone to say: "coming out for lunch,
Blaney?"

 

Some postrooms (or is it the Post Office?) moan about stamped mail being
mixed up with Franked mail. Sometimes you see entirely separate post
boxes in the street, for example.

<Waves> that's me that is...

If I make something (I once wrote some payroll software that I sold for
a bit) - if the person I'm selling to doesn't want to buy, I take it
personally and get upset. If I try to sell something else that's less
personal I either can't be bothered (if I don't believe in the product)
or get cross if people aren't as enthusiastic as me.

 

Thanks, but we'll just claim on this one. It was definitly in the "spare
hack" territory.

In very good nick, but just not used.

 

Both I think.

Still, it all helps to keep the site services chaps employed so I think
it's not a bad thing.

No, you don't want that. It's shite. And the colour's wrong.

 

I was chatting to a neighbour recently and the subject of "And what do
you do?" came up. "I've retired early" says I. "What do you do?
"I'm a financial advisor for Barclays, specialising in investments" he
says. Just before I could ask him where he got his degree in finance he
added, "I was a builder, but did a course with them. It was nearly a
week!"

 

My brother worked as a mortgage advisor for a large building society.

When he was 16, straight from school.

 

I don't either, but then I work for such a small company it's
effectively stealing from myself.

You'd better come round and pick up the 8mm spiral flute tap you left
behind then.
