Quotes from a recent party with Waterside types present...

"On my flexy working (two days working from home, three at waterside) I make sure I go in on a Friday so I can do my weekend shop at Waitrose (at waterside), arrive about ten, log onto waitrose, shop, and collect order about 4 to miss the traffic going home"

"My husband, on arriving home, asked if I had had a good day. I responded I had been playing with the kids all day. He looked rather puzzled and then stated but isn't today one of you working from home days? (part time worker, 50% at waterside, 50% from home) Oops!! Ah well, they will never notice!!"

"I love hot desking, I can go to work, wireless log on the laptop at waterside, out of site of my immediate manager, put the laptop in a locker and go off to Hounslow shopping!"

The last time there was "a night of the long knives" every manager was given an A4 sheet of paper and told "justify your job". Many couldn't.

I think the above might just (hopefully) fit into the same category.
