    I have, I found out today that the contracts being offered to new hires here now include a clause prohibiting the "drawing of sexual imagery on company property". Just goes to show - white boards, beer and young bored guys dont mix in a corporate environment.

      Every time I go into the office despite being sick... Maybe I should try eating yogurt at my desk instead. ;p

      Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason? Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful? --Zachris Topelius Training a telescope on one’s own belly button will only reveal lint. You like that? You go right on staring at it. I prefer looking at galaxies. -- Sarah Hoyt

        Simple answer... Yes I am the hire guy for tech and accounts, I also have an 'influence' on all other hires. We take no arseholes, religionists or communists. Seems to work. Although I find I am the only person that is not a southern irish catholic working for the company. (I am an Norther Irish Atheist of Protestant upbringing, so may be the one that gets them through the discrimination barrier)

        ------------------------------------ I will never again mention that I was the poster of the One Millionth Lounge Post, nor that it was complete drivel. Dalek Dave CCC Link[^] Trolls[^]

            I have a mug on my desk that is growing more than enough culture for the office.

            Every man can tell how many goats or sheep he possesses, but not how many friends.
