Today there was a long meeting with all the department heads, all about bullshit paper work and pointless stuff like that. More pressing, there's been rumors of a possible strike for a while but it's becoming more real as the contract expires next month. If the union strikes, I think it will be the end of my career there. The first day of a strike I'll start looking for a new job, hell if I'm gonna be a scab!

On top of all the bullshit going on, upper management got "incentive bonuses." WTF!?
"Umm....Yeah, Ziggy, were gonna need you to come in Saturday - oh...yeah, and Sunday too. Thaaaanks."

Ha! My Leadership and Management professor showed us a clip from Office Space today (the one where Peter talks to the consultants). I love that movie. :D

I've been hearing a lot of things about Jaffa cakes lately but I've never seen them before. What are they?

An orgasm in your mouth.

I've been eating them for a while but the craze was really set off by the Yogscast/Yogpod. Anyway, they are extremely good with tea. They are a spongy biscuity thing with orange filling covered partially by chocolate. There are tons of duplicates here in the USA that you've probably seen or even have had. No matter the brand though they're almost always referred too as Jaffa cakes.

I personally buy E.Wedel's Delicje Szampanskie here at the Cost Plus World Markets. Just a Jaffa cake from Poland. Also they only cost $1.50 instead of $3-$5 for a pack of the original Jaffa cakes. Not including shipping from the UK of course.

World Market eh? There's one real close to me.

Those look good. I'll have to pick some up and try them.
