A little more humour perhaps

Here is some more of what you have come to expect from the previous page.


The Machine


WARNING


This machine is subject to breakdowns during periods of critical need

A special circuit in the machine called a critical detector, senses the operator's emotional state in terms of how desperate he or she is to use the machine.

The critical detector then creates a malfunction proportional to the desperation of the operator.

Threatening the machine with violence only aggravates the situation. Likewise, attempts to use another machine may cause it also to malfunction - they belong to the same union!

Keep cool and say nice things to the machine. Nothing else seems to work. Never let anything mechanical know you are in a hurry.




Now you have time

My wordprocessor has a good spell checker
Eye halve a spelling chequer
It came with my pea sea

Miss steaks eye kin knot sea.

And eye can put the error rite
Its rare lea ever wrong.
Eye have run this poem threw it
Eye am shore your pleased two no
Its letter perfect awl the weigh
My chequer tolled me sew.         - thank you Alan Shaw

You know you work in the nineties if...
You've sat at the same desk for four years and worked for three different companies.
Your company welcome sign is attached with velcro
Your CV is on a diskette in your pocket
You really get excited about a 1.7% pay rise
You learn about your redundancy on the 9 o'clock news
Your biggest loss from a system crash is that you lose all your best jokes
Your supervisor doesn't have the ability to do your job
Contractors outnumber permanent staff and are more likely to get long-service awards.
Board members salaries are higher than all the Third World countries annual budgets combined.
It's dark when you drive to and from work, even in the summer.
You know exactly how many days you've got left until you retire.
Interviewees, despite not having the relevant knowledge or experience, terminate the interview when told of the starting salary.
You see a good looking, smart person and you know it must be a visitor
Free food left over from meetings is your staple diet
The work experience person gets a brand-new state-of-the-art laptop with all the features, while you have time to go for lunch while yours powers up.
Being sick is defined as you can't walk or you're in hospital
You're already late on the assignment you just got
There's no money in the budget for the five permanent staff your department is short of, but they can afford four full-time management consultants advising your boss's boss on strategy.
Your boss's favourite lines are:
When you've got a few minutes
Could you fit this in
In your spare time
When you're freed up
I know you're busy but
I have an opportunity for you
Holiday is something you roll over to next year or a cheque you get in January
Every week another brown collection envelope comes round because someone you didn't know had started is leaving
You wonder who's going to be left to put into your 'leaving' collection
Your relatives and family describe your job as 'works with computers'
The only reason you recognise your kids is because their pictures are on your desk
You only have makeup for fluorescent lighting
You read this entire list, kept nodding and you understood it.
