What is wrong with us?

Storme: And Dave goes down the list as he makes the booty calls and eventually he gets to the end of the list and it's the bartender.
Pez: It's so wrong but the sex is so good!
Storme: The down side is that the bartender will tell everyone.
Pez: But nobody will believe him. :D

Pez: Actually Dave is shagging the Pleasant Young Man.
Storme: He is very pleasant.
Pez: And very young.
Storme: And very man.

Storme: And Jager'd say, "you can't kill him, he's the goddamn h0 of Athlum!"

Pez: Gabriel was alright but then Dave decided he really couldn't stand that accent.

Pez: And Dave makes an emergency call to Royotia. "Paris, how long will it take you to get here?!"
Storme: "About six months?" "Dammit I need someone closer!"
Pez: How about Qubine?
Storme: Erm.
Pez: ...
Storme: It'll have to be phone sex with Ghor again won't it.

Storme: And Rush is also shagging the Pleasant Young Man. He really is very pleasant and is in fact the h0 of Athlum.

Storme: We still haven't solved the problem of who Dave can go to when he realises he needs to get laid.
Pez: I'm sure he can solve the problem himself?
Storme: How about Torgal?
Pez: "Torgal, would you lend me a hand?"



..........the above is our idea of pillow talk.

That's the plan, anyway

There is a company-wide staff survey going on. My "additional comments" were coherent and polite, but means more or less the same thing as the coworker who'd used the term "managerial meatbag" several times, or so he told me. I've also ticked the yes box for "are you seriously considering leaving the company within the next twelve months?"

I'm trying very hard to get interesting work for my team, but people keep getting in the way. They giveth me the cheapest staff in the whole office, then taketh them away when they have work because my team's the cheapest and their authority is greater than mine/their projects are apparently more important than mine. Who the heck am I supposed to use then? At my chargeout rate, I can kill these projects if I do them all myself because they are so small and the fees are so tight. The junior staff look at me with that "help, management wants me to do fucking data entry" face and I'm like, "I know, I've got this neat little design thing for you to do BUT THEY WON'T LET ME USE YOU." T_T

So. I've picked the flat I want to buy. The next step is to make an offer, but I can't do it until Thursday because the place is offplan and the sales office is closed Tues/Weds. Which means I'm making an offer after today's budget announcement. It might be a good thing.
