Chunder and lightening. An aircraft flies across the US laden with nukes. A Dub crosses the bridge and drops his puke.

Jennifer cackles her whole life is tied up like ringlets around this company/place. Funny how this company/place keeps shifting. The rest of us are still trying to comprehend what any of it is to do with anything. Sucked into pouring our brains out on a keyboard in a constant pressure environment. Just go for the quality experience. Do you know what the best thing about this job is? Free gym.

Er, how many people have got to sign off on 3 lines of text? I am counting web dev, service dev, marketing comms, customer care, the tea lady in the canteen and the security guard with the big paunch's granny's poodle. I will cut and paste a beautiful example of bureauctratic non-action:
Hi Margaret,
Stephen indicated that the look should have synergy with the Blue Lights campaign which is launching in September. I have a provisional media plan for web but I'm not sure the creative done inhouse will be approved to go live. As such the ownership of Web promo tiles lies with George. It will be his decision.
Regards,
I don't think George will approve because
a) he is moving career with an imminent free transfer under the Bossman ruling to the IBM league
B) He hates my guts because I lambasted him before I knew “who” he was. He deserved it with gravy and I have no regrets ne pas rien.
c) He is incapable of making a decision as he is paralysed by sign off. By the time he makes a decision, the winter will have passed and everything will be over with. I never understood him when he opened his mouth anyway.
D) The prat Liam Murphy should get a job and become a bloke, not a nancy. The big question is, is he The Phantom?

Gowd theres some people are difficult to deal with (ideeots) - don't listen, or worse, half listen, don't understand, take more time than they save to tidy up after and so on. Let's keep driving this as far as we can - the goal is liberate the working units to be autonomus.
