lzreid Posted April 15, 2009 Share Posted April 15, 2009 (edited) I see your point to some extent but being a Civil servant working with the public we've got to get it spot on, particularly when disgruntled punters who don't like our decisions make spurious accusations of harrasment/racism etc which automatically have to been investigated by management.I'm fully committed to Equality & Diversity, it's just having to go through the course when I know it already through my experience and qualifications and the online training package being so utterly cack and cumbersome to work on. I still have 'Keeping Minor's Safe' and 'Information Management Parts 1 & 2' to complete before the end of April. I am not the only one in the office screaming in frustration at having to do this pish! Oh I agree with it all entirely as well. I'm the biggest and most inclusive hippy you'll ever meet but a lot of it seems to be needlesly verbose and an utter waste of your time.

Guest The Phoenix Posted April 15, 2009 Share Posted April 15, 2009 I think you should be looking at a career change. All you seem to do is moan about your job. If that were the sole criteria, every government office would install revolving doors. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Toma_BullyWee Posted April 15, 2009 Share Posted April 15, 2009 Went out to buy shoes, trousers and a shirt for a christening on Sunday. "Size 13? Nae chance!" was the general reply as i shopped for shoes. I eventually found myself a large pair of size 12's that don't hurt me too much. Still need to find myself trousers and a shirt, but I'll do that another day. I tried on a pair of 36's in Topman.. They didn't fit. I've somehow managed to put on weight while watching my diet and exercising semi regularly. Of course, I'll just blame it on the "skinny fit" trousers, even though I tried regular fit. The should have Fat Fit trousers. They'd be lovely. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
An Sionnach Posted April 16, 2009 Share Posted April 16, 2009 If that were the sole criteria, every government office would install revolving doors. True, sir, so very true. PS We're all bouncing around trying to look smart and busy because I've just been told Jacqui Smith (Home Secretary) is visiting us this morning - special armed bodyguards floating about the office, Special Branch, armed uniformed cops all buzzing about - I wish I'd taken today off instead of tomorrow! BTW I have my SNP sticker on prominent display just because I can! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
renton Posted April 16, 2009 Share Posted April 16, 2009 Raith Rovers fans aged 24 and above seem to suffer from long standing (no pun intended) leg problems. 4 years, 1 month and 15 days and I'm fucked too You should be fine, we were all just at the right age to be over doing the hokey kokey when Armand One was at the club...... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually, I came back from the game and went to Kim's friend's birthday party which was a 90s retro night and proceeded to f**k my knee for days because 5ive really will make you get down now. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

An Sionnach Posted April 16, 2009 Share Posted April 16, 2009 Just do not ask any questions relating to Porn films or the cost of plugs. Didn't get the chance. Our Director almost skipped into the office waving his arms about like Walter the Softy shouting 'The Home Secretary's here everyone' in the campest voice you can imagine. Then she was whisked into the back office to meet the other high-heid-yins before being escorted to the control to see the Amsterdam and then into the Customs Hall before jumping into her limo to be wizzed up to Glasgow. She was here for about 20 minutes in total, spoke to senior management only, no ordinary staff and was surrounded by a posse of armed personal protection officers. At least Willie Whitelaw (Home Secretary late seventies, early eighties) had the courtesy to shake my hand and tell me I was doing a good job. My boss Jacqui Smith/New Labour - fuck 'em!
