Originally posted by d000hg View PostWhat's that got to do with anything?

That's kind of the point of an employer-employee relationship.Insanity: repeating the same actions, but expecting different results.

Originally posted by EternalOptimist View PostI dont think you can make such a sweeping statement after just a few hundred incidents of incompetence by your postie.
Incompetent postmen is a widespread problem. Nearly everyone one I meet has problems with mail incorrectly delivered. I get load of mail wrongly delivered not to mention missing bank card, statements, tax discs etc.
My latest gripe is that the postman it posting recorded delivery letters without asking for a signature. I looked up one item today and the postman has signed it for me, printing my name (wrongly spelt) and forging my signature. I am so sick to death with the postmen do much and as far as I care they can sack the f**king lot."A people that elect corrupt politicians, imposters, thieves and traitors are not victims, but accomplices," George OrwellComment

Up the workers! ...In the the west country at least.Science isn't about why, it's about why not. You ask: why is so much of our science dangerous? I say: why not marry safe science if you love it so much. In fact, why not invent a special safety door that won't hit you in the butt on the way out, because you are fired. - Cave JohnsonComment
