Not my boss. My partners boss.

Description stands though.

Hi, Bob. Thanks for meeting with us. You know Sharon from HR. Good, good. Take a seat.
First of all I want to thank you for your years of service to the company…
Yes, it’s about the charity thing.
I can assure you I’m very serious. Bob, you stole from a charity. Quite frankly it’s not the sort of look we want around here, certainly not from one of our senior employees.
No, it’s not like you stole from the company, but that’s the point isn’t it. Where do you draw the line? Why wouldn’t you steal from the company if you’re going to steal from a charity?
And it’s not like you don’t have the money. So…you did this because it was a little inconvenient to you, that was the moral judgement you made. That made it okay.
No, I’m afraid it’s effective immediately.
Got you.
Hahahaha, could you imagine? I mean, maybe if it was one of the floor staff…no, no, it was a joke.
Come on, we’re going for a long lunch. I’m paying. Well, I say I’m paying…
Hahahahaha.

Is it stealing if…
when you move into a new office and the predecessor left all their junk there ‘just in case you need it’ and underneath everything you find 2 x bottles of veuve clicquot…
and you take them?

Magpies, of the feather variety.

Standing there at the bus stop yesterday arvo, minding my own business, when whoosh I get a magpie swoop at my face and peck at my eye. No serious damage but the eye’s sore and red today.

The bird then did the same to a girl a minute later.

As if I needed another reason to hate Collingwood.

you’re lit.

Never ever been swooped by a magpie. There’s even a short road in Thornbury near my home which I cycle through daily where I’ve counted as many as 20 of them, and nope.

I must be blooody ugly.

I have had a sulphur-crested cockatoo attempt to murder me via dropped pine cone. Saw the prick do it to someone else, too.

i copped three in one stretch of bike path in dandy the other day. one got my ear, the other got my cheek and the third missed. the first one caused me to get the wobbles up on the bike, nearly binned it!

■■■■■■■ magpies! i do love the ones in my backyard however, they are friendly.

Drivers who stop at unmanned unsignalled school crossings for people waiting on the footpath. If the crossing isn’t attended by flouro flag wavers YOU’RE NOT REQUIRED TO STOP. Some probably do it out of courtesy to pedestrians, some because they don’t know the rules, but whether I’m a driver or pedestrian geez it ■■■■■■ me off.

lol.
Not yet.
I knocked off two and a half hours ago, though, so getting there.

Sorry, but I couldn’t help but laugh at that.

That’s quite clever for a bird to think of that though, isnt it?

Friends of mine have a pet magpie they hand feed raw meat. (Not themselves, mince meat).

It’s tame and friendly. ■■■■■■■ birds all the same.

They’re small dinosaurs with honey badger attitudes.

I like Magpies (the birds only). They only get aggro because they think you’re going to fark up their nest and eat their young. And that’s just because they don’t recognise you and that you therefore must be a bit sus as far as they’re concerned. And that’s probably because some other person that they also didn’t recognise farked with them at some point. They are long-lived and don’t reproduce frequently so it makes sense that they invest a lot in parental care.

Once they understand that you’re non-threatening (they’ll literally recognise your face) they should stop giving you such a hard time.
