I've done bugger all at work today other than set up this weblog.
Its pretty hard to stay motivated when you've only got 2 weeks left and none of your previous work has seen any real recognition.
I'm a VAT manager for a multinational firm and I've worked here 18 months. When I started I was quite good at technical questions but for the last 18 months I've not been able to do anything except be a spreadsheet jockey. My technical skills have gone rusty. I never thought I'd say this but I yearn for a decent VAT question. I actually miss the debates with my peers that I used to find so tedious. Funny what life brings isn't it?
Something funny that I found today:
PILOTS HELL
Mac died at the controls of his plane and went to pilots' hell, where he found a hideous devil and three doors.
The devil was busy escorting other pilots to various "hell rooms."
"I'll be right back--don't go away," said the devil, and he vanished.
Sneaking over to the first door, Mac peeked in and saw a cockpit where the pilot was condemned to forever run through pre-flight checks.
He slammed that door and peeked into the second. There, alarms rang and red lights flashed while a pilot had to avoid one emergency after another. Unable to imagine a worse fate, Mac cautiously opened the third door.
He was amazed to see many beautiful, scantily clad flight attendants answering to a captain's every whim. He quickly returned to his place seconds before the devil reappeared.
"Okay, Mac," said the devil, "Which door will it be, number 1 or number 2?"
"Um, I want door number 3," answered Mac.
"Sorry," said the devil. "You can't have door number 3. That's flight attendants' hell."
Something useful that I found today:
