    [QUOTE=d000hg;1520502]That's what I'm doing too but I don't think it's the norm.
    Is "my wife's plan c" code for boob enlargement?

    Phone them and ask how they have the authority to make this call?[/QUOTE]

    US based. Anyway, I'd preempted this & so have a back up. Will finish up now. The director I work for is on vacation until Tuesday. I've also heard there is about to be a big re-org(so that's his boss gone), so I'm going to head home with my('their') laptop and stick it on Ebay if it's not sorted when I'm on vacation next week.

    Best quote from Mrs MF(who has no clue). 'Oh, if you've been terminated that means you have time & we can bring the wedding forward'
    What happens in General, stays in General.
    You know what they say about assumptions!

        Thanks for your efforts till date,
        Some idiot in the PMO Office.


        This persons a little clueless. I don't actually work for their PMO office and so subsequently they cannot terminate my contract. .

        Mmm. Shall I just feck off now or stick the day out?
        Worldwide reorganisation call just kicked off.

        Ah! 'Some idiot in the PMO Office' has just replaced my bosses boss and is now 'Some idiot in the US who I've never met & doesn't know who I am who has just terminated my contract'

        Balls.

              I have shuffled two whole cheeks to the left. Might I suggest you shake the dust off your sandals as you leave. Sounds like you got out just in time. And just in time for easter

              Chin up you old scrote.

                  Just gets better. I've now packed my desk & left.

                  Get a phone call from the director I work(who's on vacation) for re: the email I forwarded him. He starts my telling me it's bang out of order, then says, who does she think she is. He then says he's tryed ringing his boss in the US and sent him an email. I then have to ask him if he attended the special call at 1pm, to which he hadn't. I then point out that his boss has been fired and the 'who does she think she is' is his new boss. Stunned silence, followed with 'F**k!! My job?. Er. I'll come back to you next week'.

                  Shakes head in disbelief.

                      Sympathies.

                      What's PMO stand for?

                      Just had a good nasty one this aft myself. Delivered some payment reminders to a direct client today by hand, and when the secretary asked who they were destined for and I answered gave a whopping big grimace.

                      Quite made my day really, for the destinee of my missive is a typical yuppie femaile, double barrelled name, and arrogant.

                      I had no problem getting the name of the yuppie's boss out of the secretary, and she understood why I was asking
