One of the major disadvantages of working for Te Wananga is that they will not provide booze at all. Social club put on a freaking gigantic bartab the other night, but I couldnt stay for very long *cry*.

Still at least the IT department always puts on a good do, even without booze.. This year were doing 10 pin bowling, laser tag, and dinner. Last year was go-karts and dinner.

Our social club had originally arranged that all the funds went on to beer and wine, there WAS going to be heaps of booze. Then we got new manager who does everything "by the book". It kinda annoys me cause the social club money is us the employees $$ and we should be able to decide where our funds go. Ah well thats life for ya!

Try being self-employed - NO work functions at all! I do some freelance work for the Manawatu Standard and was invited to 'morning tea' yesterday. Didn't bother going, why waste $10 of petrol for a free coffee (don't drink it) and some sandwiches and finger food? Considering they didn't even bother inviting any of us to the opening of their new building a few weeks ago, what's the point?

We've got our bike club end of year get-together this weekend so at least I get to go to one party! I'm going to have MY work function at home on Monday - buy a bottle of bubbly and some nibbles and watch myself on tv!

SOMEONES BEEN EDITING

**Waylander** · 14th December 2005, 15:29

Nah mate if they were editing I would be able to see it and one would think they would have only left the caps on the words at the begining of sentances and important nouns.

Good to see you get to enjoy a few perks at work NC.

I would not subject a dog to my work do. Boss (Japanese) gets pissed out of his brain and struggles with English at the best of times so becomes more-or-less incomprehensible yet insists on making numerous rambling and incoherent speeches. In this he is aided by an elderly woman (our company secretary)who has worked here for over 30 years, every moment of which she has spoent sucking up. She sits beside him and basically tells him what to say. I think he is actually one of those ventriloquist's mannequins, and her arm is up his arse moving his jaws (but how she gets her arms and nose up there at the same time remains a mystery). There is lot of general fawning and sycophancy. Japs call it "goma suri". Brown-nosing. Rather than go again I'd rather stay home and get medieval on my own private parts with a blowtorch
