The writing's on the wall...
On the staff room wall at Borders...
* An official apology from the Acting Rosters Dude about the tardiness of our new rosters (now three weeks late) that goes something like this:
"Apologies for the lateness of the new rosters but they're really hard... and scary."
* An Occ. Health & Safety poster featuring Santa lugging a huge sack. The work "crack" is imposed --- like something out of a Batman cartoon --- diagonally across the sack to suggest that Santa has cracked his back under the weight of the sack (hey -- poetry!) and the caption reads "Don't let workplace safety take a holiday".
Underneath someone has scrawled on a post it note: "Why is Santa delivering crack to the kiddies?"
Tee hee. I'm diggin' this place.

Hey, Mel!
Aye, its good when work-mates make work less, well, laborious. Borders seems like that kinda place thus far. I had a stint as a full time receptionist in a customer service centre last year and I loved the ppl there too: my boss was one of the nicest guys you could ever hope to meet. A real Aussie, blokey-bloke (does that translate?:)) but just laidback, down to earth and lotsa fun. He used to make *us* cups of tea or pick up our lunches from the shop on his break. And when I'd been there only 3 months they threw me a surprise party for my 21st!
The technicians -- it was a car service centre so there were lots of boys about -- once played a prank on a guy who worked in the factory. This poor guy had met a woman on a telephone dating service(!) and the techs thought it would be really funny to send him a letter supposedly from her and include a photo of an oversized woman in lingerie. They even had one of my co-workers -- a girl -- seal the envelope with a lipstick kiss and spray her perfume on the paper... oh those boys were mean :) My nice boss would have nothing to do with it. But *sigh* weren't those the days...?
