Let me rephrase that, they don't expect to pay us for 40 hours before the fall, though some of us put in lots more with what we get done at home.

I have been living that for several years now. Every round of adjustments means more work for the rest for no more compensation.

Forgot to tell you my, I can't believe you just did that, story of the weekend. Saturday there was a parent that kept coming over to our table and watching the slide show of some of the shots that will be on the CD. After their child performed in the evening show, they came up with a P&S and snapped a shot of our picture on the monitor.

Never asked permission and of course didn't order a CD? What evah, I hope the shutter speed was fast and they have a big honk'n line through the picture.

that has to be the cheapest couple I ever heard of. Though I've seen that at Disneyland on some of the rides.

Why oh why does it seem that many run on 1/2 the brain power just because they are running on 1/2 the wheels.

Ack, my Brother and my BIL have both been made redundant. Both have recently had a kid too. How sad, yet bizarre that things happen in pairs! Yet half a world away from one-another
sorry for your brother and BIL. Being made redundant is all to common of a story here. Some locations have well over 20% of the workforce redundant.

Thanks guys. I am literally gutted for them as they work their arse off more than the rest of the family members, yet they get the chop. Hard times

The local lingo of "laid off" hasn't entered my brain as a usual phrase of mine, compared to "redundant". .
Well here the official title used is that your position is no longer needed.

is a BBC clip so it may not work out of country but this is one lucky puppy (mind you it would be even luckier if it was taken away from its current home)
Poor puppy.
