graculusJust a quick one before I go to work...
Yesterday, I wandered off to one of the other offices in the city and happened to meet someone who's just been taken on as a temporary worker. Originally, it was intended that this person was going to be employed to do a specific task that had been identified by senior management, which was going to involve significant amounts of liaison with me but also quite a bit of 'getting on with it'.
Apparently he's been driving everyone up the wall with his pathetic whining. And about 3pm or so, he finally said "Well, tomorrow I guess I should bring my reading glasses to work, because the ones I'm wearing today are my driving glasses." Yes, he'd come to work in a local government office, in a job that involves significant amounts of paperwork and computer use and reading of existing files and he hadn't thought he might need to be able to read stuff. *headdesk*
I think I just had a lucky escape from idiot-induced blood pressure problems.
