Gissa job!

Well, today was my last day in my present job. I have been made redundant. I have known for a few weeks, having worked out my notice. So have the bosses who made the decision. Neither of them are here today to say a simple “thanks and good luck”. Nor did they find time to say it before today. I …

Wank word!

Tuesday’s wankword: Buzzword. There seems to be a pattern emerging here. To make a wankword, you just add two normal non-wankwords together. Perhaps you could add two or more wankwords together to make a super-wankword. I’ll try and make some of my own up and see if I can get people using them.

Then simply tick off wank words as you hear them and as soon as you have five in a line, vertically, horizontally or diagonally, shout BINGO! This card’s specifically …

Gissa job.

I’m job hunting at the moment. So, I sit down with the job supplement out of the local paper and search through the pages. What’s all this crap I’m faced with? Job titles such as ‘Corporate Performance Officer’, Crisis Worker’, ‘Financial Inclusion Officer’ and my personal favourite, ‘Sector Facilitator’.

Hi-vis vests. They’re brill! They’re designed to be extra glowy like one of those highlighter pens so that the wearer can be seen. And they do what it says on the tin. Or, rather, vest. I thought they were worn for safety reasons originally, which sounds like a good and sensible idea. However, now it seems everyone wears glowy vests …
