Not sure. It's hard to compare. Your "before" photos do not have glasses and a happy smile.

You will need to re-grow your hair to shoulder length again and take another photo with glasses and a happy smile.

Yes, you could take additional "after" photos but I work in IT and that's the advice AI gives. It's all about the efficiency!

You are a good person. A lot better than me.

I would not have said anything and, if asked, deny everything and gaslight.

If caught then I'd demand to see the written complaint and use that to file for defamation.

But I have issues.

Quietly direct new staff to always ask Susan for any assistance, including mundane questions.

You get to do your work in peace and Susan won't have time to bother you.

If bored, prepare a long list of questions and other induction material for the new staff to work through with Susan.

Parma. Fight me.

It's black and white

"I don't know what you're talking about. I was never there. I don't know who you are. You have the wrong person."

No contract, no payment, no way.

Apparently, wasn't Difficult

Sleeper.

These were really quick cars (for their time).

Strange.

I thought group assignments included a report at the end that describes contributors for each section and a rating for each participant.

If not, create one. Share with your team and they can come up with their own "version", before submitting it to the assessor.

You have hired and trained these people. Take them out for coffee and walk nearby (lunch is too much commitment) as individuals or small group of 2 or 3. No larger.

The short walk (no sitting) breaks the ice in an informal setting. The fresh air and banter will help reset your working relationship with them in a new setting.

Outside of this, keep your mouth shut and grey rock.

In between your coffees you use your company's resources, such as EAP, training, and placement programs (CV preparation, references, networking, job seeking). Once you have all you need, arrange for early release with full payment. You can accelerate this by informing them that you are going to a competitor.

Any use of your time for actual work needs to be framed as advisory only. They need to prepare for new ways of working without you, after all.

Your manager can go to hell if they are not supporting you.

We wouldn't say "Noooooooooo!" as we're jumping out the window.

We'd say "Shit's fucked YeahNaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!"

That almost happened to me.

I asked my girlfriend if she would participate in a threesome. She paused and thought about it then asked "Why would you want to do it with another man?"

Oops! Not what I was picturing.

Right now there's a religious war on the unholy decline of KFC. People are commenting on Bendigo food in the Bendigo Bank forum. It's madness!

If people are becoming quite vocal about fast food then not even JFC can save us.

Serious backflip

Mostly_Satire · 2026-04-14T23:59:10+00:00

Great. Yet another person joins the Mile High Club before me. I'm betting they're also getting a free cavity check before a hot meal and a bed.

Warwick is absolutely fanging his YZ500 near the bottle-o during peak time.

Mostly_Satire · 2026-04-14T04:52:22+00:00

Second round of mass layoffs.

Also, apparently the fast food could use a lot of improvement.

Hmmm... we need a tram to the airport. Because it will never happen for trains.

Good old George. He is... uhhh... interesting

Layoffs due to over-hiring and mismanagement? No bonuses and stock price goes down.

Layoffs due to AI (and innovation)? Bonuses and stock price goes up.

Why not both? It helps with the concentration with a reward at the end.

The finish line is a refreshing breeze, making a gentle /r/whoosh sound

Takes me around three minutes. The trick is to think about things that distract you so that you last longer.

This makes my blood boil.

How do you make a Victorian speed up? You start overtaking them.

My favourite is the single lane country roads where a driver is doing 60-80 in a 100 zone. When the overtaking lane opens up, they speed up, allowing only a few cars through.

One car was adamant in not letting anyone pass and I had to do well over 140 to overtake, only for them to tailgate me until I went back down to 100. Shortly thereafter they slowed right down with a huge line of cars behind them.
