    My mate Norman, has a boss, who has started having Friday afternoon meetings. It is interfering with our social calander. :sigh: Any ideas on how to "discourage" this disturbing series of events? :confused:

        One Boss argued against friday afternoon meetings as: "I am not giving my employees an absolution for the weekend".

          Onions - plenty of onions. And oh yeah - garlic, lots of garlic. Umm, beans might work, but only if you can stand it yourselves.

                Complete madness, that happened at a company I worked at a long time ago, our team would make excuses on avoiding the meeting and eventually the boss twigged and moved the meetings to Mondays :)

                .net is a box of never ending treasures, every day I get find another gem.

                      Better yet, show up in a Wonder Woman costume. In fact, show up every week in dressed as a different superhero.

                            Yeah, I'm the "mate Norman", and they are business meetings ("information sessions")! The boss does give us a few beers at the end, but I'd rather be somewhere else.

                                      If your current employer doesn't care about your life well then you need a new employer. Life is to short to spend in a fabric covered box when you don't like what your doing. To be perfectly honest the happiest times in my life were when I was broke and unemployed.

                                        Better yet, show up in a Wonder Woman costume. In fact, show up every week in dressed as a different superhero.

                                        Nah... everyone needs to come in a coat and tie. Around 3 or 4, start looking at your watches... :)

                                          Umm, I'm not familiar with the reference.

                                          otaku are anime fans. Sailor Moon has stereotypical uniformed school girls. I hope I don't have to explain farther, you can probably google an image if you want but it won't be pretty.
