See a man slaving away at work, his features gaunt and haggard with the prospect of so many hours left to go?
That's you, that is.
Because you couldn't find a way to get a decent holiday like me.

I had the holiday, but today we started working again.
Stock counting  :bigcry:

That realy stinks.....

And the boss does not trust his employers in the store.
He let them be checked by office workers to make sure we do not count false.

How do you mean, respect?

The "Royal Sprout" you say, well...

See that plate of brussel sprouts over there, abundant with foul taste and resembling a pile of infected goats testicles. Thats your dinner that is.

Edit...Sorry, just had to give it a go, whilst not as articulate as previous examples, I feel its a pretty good first attempt.

He just wants you to be his servile slave, eating more sprouts and guffing our oxygen rich atmosphere back to its primeval state so that he can make the place habitable for his kin...

Poor misguided fool!

It is a lot better than one of the people who is currently posting in that thread. At least you understand the concept and put some effort in with a description.

As for sprouts: it is futile to fight them. Sprouts rule. They actually drive some individuals to idolise them by having sprout avatars and submitting multiple sprout images to the photo album  ;-)

@Adz

It made me smile. Time for you to delve into the thread proper, methinks.

@X-Ray

Sprouts are evil. They drive individuals to demonise them, more like ;-)

That's not a holiday, it's unemployment, that is. You got sacked, you did... :-P

So, are you back at work yet or have you got a few days left still to rub it in? ;-)

Actually you are right, that it is unemployment  :lol:

But the circumstances are mostly of my making, and they are necessary while I manouevre for the position I am angling for.
I have a nice contract (short term) as an application specialist trainer coming up on the 16th and after that contract I will be back in the position I was when PMC went for his interview.
