Threaten to sue everyone.


what are YOU doing here?!

ps: Thanks for the Blitzen Trapper album, I really like it! If you PM me your address, I'll get that dEUS CD posted to you.


PM?!

are you sure those things exist? the way you're treating this board it seems you can only talk in the public domain!!!!!!


She has a rabbit!??!?

Why didn't she mention it?!


She has a profile?!?!?!

Why didn't she mention it?!


She has a rabbit?!?!!?

Why didn't she mention it?!


:)

Ahhh this makes me smile so much


you know

i heard on the grapevine Klaire has been ill (of course there are no posts or threads to prove it) so no nastiness please.


Myxomatosis?


Oh.

That was gunty's profile.


<3


you can all die

you know i had meningitis right? and you know who my brother is right? and you know which company i used to work for and what band they managed right? and you know what pets i have right? right?


paintball


grenades


walk in holding as much

stationary as humanly possible.


I'm already planning

to steal a full copy of Photoshop, including the manual.


^ Get Open Office.

Totally sweet. WORD.


Don't think I can get Word

but I'll have a look.

The only reason I'm getting Photoshop is that I found a copy in the drawer of my desk...


ask everyone to touch your wang

if they say no get REALLY ANNOYED and start to cry. they will HAVE to keep you on now.


Should I just chant

"Keep me on or touch my wang!" over and over until I get one or the other?


to the tune of

It's a long way to Tipperary, yes.


:(

that both sucks and blows.

Just wink and pout at the manager. either that or draw a dragon on your penis then flop it out and shake it around mid meeting.


hmmm

seems to be a penis shaped theme here. General consensus - whip it out


walk in.flop your cock on the table and say

well its not gunna su...
actually no


...

Start the meeting by demanding more money.


^ This

If they make you redundant, ask for some time off to consider it


Is there a phone in the meeting room?

Post the number on here.

Failing that, nothing spices up a meeting like a violent outburst against an inanimate object.
Pick an object in the room, flip charts are always good. Start by giving it evils and build up to a "Seriously, what the fuck are you looking at?" before launching yourself across the room and beating the shit out of it.


It's looking more than likely, Theo

I'd say I have about a 5% chance of staying (they've already shown me the system they're using to calculate who stays and who goes).


Walk in and after talking for a while

turn to your manager and say "I'm sorry, but we are going to have to left you go" and get all worked up when you claim he is going to be made redundant and not you.


whos lefting who go?

are you lefting me go?


GET BACK IN THE COFFIN SHANDY

*puts duct tape over his lips*


Just Use

the classic Argon Speltzimer method.


make a phone call at 10am

start crying and then leave the office. Turn up to the meeting 2 minutes late wiping the tears away from your eyes. Tell them someone died. See if they are heartless enough to still give you the elbow.


^ yeah, that one!

and a vowel please, Carol


Say this:

"Well, I gotta tell you: I'd be very, very careful who you talk to about that, because the person who wrote that... is dangerous. And this button-down, Oxford-cloth psycho might just snap, and then stalk from office to office with an Armalite AR-10 carbine gas-powered semi-automatic weapon, pumping round after round into colleagues and co-workers. This might be someone you've known for years. Someone very, very close to you."

Then, at the end, shout BRING! na dpick up an imaginary phone. "Compliance and Liability" And shout in a loud womans voice "MY TITS GONNA ROT OFF" and run out the room.


This has made me LOL

just as my boss walked in. I'm definitely going now :D


Apologies.

But I had fun, so it all works out.


Walk in, out feet up on the table

And say "What's happening bitches?", then start wanking and as you jizz all over your chest sigh "Ahhhh, there's the sugar"


:D


sadpunk


Start calling yourself "Achmed"

And whenever anyone speaks shout "SILENCE! I WILL KILL YOU!"


refuse to leave

hold onto the desk and go 'LALALALAL' when ever they mention the word.


Whenever the boss says something

pretend you are in the house of commonc, flap your papers and shout yeaaah, stand up at very pertinent points


commonc, commonc

dooooo the locommonction with me!


jump up!

oooh jump back!


hide in the toilets?

if you don't go, they can't fire you!

IMPECCABLE LOGIC


Do this.

Or keep setting off the fire alarm whenever they try and talk to you.


though of course

they might recognise it from the film and laugh it off or something. i don't think i would if anyone actually did that in real life though.


I still haven't had this meeting

as they're "overrunning" in the meeting room.

I actually want to leave now.....


Waiting's always harsh.

Hope it works out for the best.


you might get lucky

and the person in before beats the shit out of them.


Still time for some advice then

dont make it easy on them ....act devestated....like someone said, cry, if you can.....or act like you cant speak....dont say anything just look struck dumb....say absolutely nothing...if necessary open yopur mouth as if to spoeak but you cant form the words


good lord no!

walk out of there with your dignity in tact!


how is your dignity intact if you get the push and you still smile at them

so they feel thats ok then?

I say make em suffer


try and speak only in film quotations

finishing with "SHOW ME THE MONEY" except you scream it in your boss' face in complete rage with your hands down your trousers and crying a bit


play the race card

PLAY IT!


So what happened???

I'm on tenterhooks


The meeting's been postponed even further

as there are still people in the meeting room.

I'm now getting in a bad mood. I can't work out if this is a good thing or bad thing for when I actually get in there...


Dude....

Take a shit in a bag and hide it somewhere in the office, along with a few "fake" bags with notes in them saying....Nope not this one, and say to them if they sack you they'll never find it......


hmm

sounds like redundancy payment negotiation

could be a good thing - by it the time it gets to you they might not be able to afford to make you redundant !

;)


There's not going to be any redundancy pay

apart from my notice - I haven't worked here long enough...


oh dear

that is bad news

then I suggest you refuse to be laid off

perhaps even offer to take a pay cut - don't take no for an answer


Or there might be nothing left

in the redundancy payoff pot.


Kick the door down and shout

ITS NOW OR NEVER FUCKSHITS! And thow A4 foolscap at them.


bad

the firing squad will be tired.


beg and whimper as well as crying

and not being able to say anything....basically imagine you are Sacha Baron Cohen, and do a performance piece......make em hurt
