    Army thread 16/08/2012

    :hallo: Army

    I share your pain, Zenners. One of our neighbours is redoing his bathrooms and adding an extension. The noise drives me batty. And I'm not even there most of the time.

    Mama: we have quotas to fill. If the company doesn't comply, we're fined and we are also excluded from getting back credits for thinhs like expenditure on staff training and the like. The list goes on... In this instance, not a single white person made it onto the shortlist. Of the rest, 80% were black women. In my indusrty (IT), there is a shortage of skilled workers, especially female grads. It makes the search for good people quite hard. And yes, it discriminates horrendously - you're excluded from the word go if you don't meet the race / gender criteria.

    Backinabit - school run.
    I'll do whatever it takes

      Yep... that is DEFO affirmative action. It's like the unions... the idea was solid to start with but it all got fecked up along the way.

      Is that the neighbour that had the college kids renting?

        LMAO!!! Naw... they gave it to you cos you had a degree and BRAINS! Double whammy.

        I'm steam mopping. I've really started to dislike housework. I was out in the yard all weekend and made a huge dent. I could expend the same energy indoors and you wouldn't even notice. It's really very unrewarding.

          I fucking HATE LOATHE ABHOR housework - with a vengeance - I get a clammy scalp just thinkin about it Achully, one of the hardest things bout having adult kids is that they have adult friends, so when they visit the gaff, it sort of has to be clean(ish) - Jamie doesn't notice yet tho so I'm not botherin this evening
          Adult males don't count. It's been proved they can't see dirt !!:H

            Clammy scalp?!!! LMAO!!!

            Thought you'd got a degree from that fancy skool you went to... (I have a degree, earned way late in the game though, so not bashing it loike!)

            The housework is drastic, isn't it? Honestly... I can walk outside and admire a weekend's worth of graft. And indoors you can hardly see that I've been beavering away. Pisses me off!!!

                                Yes - I had a bit of an issue - had to give up the crown & don't know what to replace it with.
