WHY do old giffers get up from their seats and push in front of me when getting off the bus?
I'm a polite person - I let them. I barely even roll my eyes.
But then they shuffle along in front of me at zombie speed.
They take a year to get down the step.
And once we're all on terra firma I immediately do my Formula One impression, leaving them in my slipstream.

If I knew I was the slowest person on the bus, I would let other people past.
If I knew someone else was already queueing to get off I would not push in front of them.
If I had manners... Oh wait - I'm getting to the bottom of things here.

Bloody rude OAPs.
Just because they had a war once.

Surely that's the curse coming out?
Like in the Mummy's tomb?

I think having the faces of the two halves together keeps them fresher.

We could do an experiment.

What is the sound of one hand fapping?

Impossible to say since it is said to induce deafness.

Why oh why do they try to cram two weeks of work into the final day before a holiday weekend?

Because the holiday vacation is only about a week long.

Long ago I realized that if I took a week's vacation, everything before and during was on my desk when I returned to work.
But if I took a 2-week vacation, others would pick up some/all of the work, and my desk was relatively clean when I returned.

(That's my free advice to young managers and supervisors for today)

Really folks, financial aid isn't 'instant' you don't just ADD WATER.
