You think I'm joking...I even sprinkle a bit of blue asbestos on them them...

Seriously though...I'm not sure I can handle this boredom much longer. It it utterly dire. And it's not just me. Up until about Christmas, this office would receive something like:-

20,000 phone calls per week
18,000 items of post per week
1200 mortgage applications per week.

Last week:-

1,750 phone calls (1,500 were existing customers)
2,800 items of post (which were mainly sent straight to the new office 110 miles away)
9 mortgage applications.

A team of of 53 people had 13 phone calls to field last Thursday. I still have 266 users. If they aren't doing anything, there is nothing for me to fix.

I have decided - and I am unanimous in this - that I shall leave at 3.30 every day from now on.

On the subject of Dilbert (OK...some people say I am a bit like him) I work with "Topper". I find it hard not to stab him in the eye with a pitchfork.

If she feels she wants to take him a present he could do with a new badger hat.



Oh ~ and his bodyguards are all female  ~ perhaps he is looking for a new commandant for them. Mrs Nick may be ideally suited.
