That makes me sick. Why can't I be a product development executive? I bet you couldn't even draw a flow chart showing the optimum product development process.

I learnt to drive in one. It was quite good at driving into things without getting damaged. Same was true of my mum's VW Passat, mind, and that had the convenience of being an estate. Man, that car could take a punch.

I don't even have the software on my computer that I would use to draw a flow chart.

rare roast beef and horseradish sandwich, falafel & houmous wrap, and a vanilla fudge chocolate bar. Buying lunch is expensive. 7 days of lunch = 1 DVD box set = 1 overdraft fine from the bank. But we ran out of bread this morning, so it had to be done.

You actually get quite a lot of food in a 68p salad. It takes me a good 8 minutes to eat. I also baked a pistachio, almond, orange, cardamom and rosewater cake with a lemon and rosewater icing that I brought in today for my team so I'll have a slice of that as well.
I won't buy any boxsets as I don't have any interest in owning any boxsets.

I'm guessing that that 68p salad is from a subsidised work canteen, yes? Typical. You people who work for big coporations earn more and pay less. No wonder the oppressed working class like myself can't catch a break.

It is from a work canteen. 68p gets you about the same amount of food you'd get for about £2.50 from a supermarket salad bar.
Perhaps you could get a job at a big corporation with a subsidised canteen?
Assuming that if I didn't get the 68p salad each day and instead had to pay £2.50 for lunch each day, that would cost me an extra £436.80 a year. That means really I'm earning almost £500 a year more than I thought I was.

I was just given a brownie by a danish girl who came over from denmark to see me. It was soft and nice. More chocolate though. I'm not even a chocolate fan, it's just it always seems to be lying around because people bring it back from foreign places.

More than that: A saving of £500 on your outgoings would be equivalent to £750 on your pre-tax salary. Maybe even more, if some of your salary gets taxed at 40%.

I could make the benefit even greater by paying for lunch on my corporate card and use this to earn points that I could use on DVD box sets but I'd feel weird about charging 68p to a card.

when they come to rest they look so exhausted, dont they? i cant help feeling its a cruelty to make them bounce up and down in perpetuity like this. or, maybe, its a depiction of the tirelessness of the human spirit. also, if you look very carefully, they are mouthing the words 'go, disco!'.

One of the documents I'm reading has the following text.
quote:Become a challenger brand – challengers have a clear sense of themselves – they act like a Lighthouse, taking a stand, intensely and consistently projecting their point of view in everything they do – encouraging the consumer to 'navigate' by them.

I had a slice of Gala Pie...good old pork-pie loaf with an egg in. But it was horrible! I feel all soiled and wrong now...
