Hot tip for the collective:

Gastro sucks. Avoid at all costs.
I've just come out the other end of a solid 2 weeks of some sort of Flu/Gastro hybrid illness ... its been a very ordinary couple of weeks I can assure you.

I only took two days off work for it due to responsibilities and a pesky feeling of obligation ... yet one of the guys in my team called in sick today because he's got a cough and headache ... I know I'm at the other end of the spectrum, but I hate people like that.

Had that about a month ago, still can't kick it. I haven't gone home sick as they moved me in to a communal office and as such deserve to share the consequences... and also everyone was already sick because of the other 10 guys who came in sick.

You and me both. I'd normally work through a flu thing, but openly vomiting at work is definitely frowned upon.

True story: Well ours were having too many punch ons so they cut the grog back last year but then the abuse went up cause they didnt buy as much.

This year its off site. lol
Our Christmas parties are off-site and unofficial because the company doesn't give one (if you couldn't tell by the stripper).

Similar vein though, thought it was funny just before last Christmas when the boss decided to get everyone together in the same room for a summary of the year and for the rank and file to provide some honest feedback in an "open environment". I'll take Terrible Ideas for $1,000, Alex. Tempted to bring some note paper next time and draw up a matrix of the engineering department to document who is a campaigner, who is useless, who is a useless campaigner, who needs to be fired, who needs to be drowned in a puddle, etc.

lol, you tell a story well m8, particularly enjoyed the Jeopardy reference.

Our punch ons are usually between the boilmakers and welders over who can weld better, stupid shit like that.

That you Yakker? Nice one if so. :thumbsu:

But **** fishing in a kayak, paddling is terribly overrated. :thumbsdown:
Yeah that's my ugly mug. I have a couple of kayaks as well as the boat. I find I get better fish in the kayak to be honest and I don't have to paddle...... I pedal. It's a Hobie which is pretty easy to get around in.
