              I've got a company laptop and mobile! The boss has been asking me to submit holiday request form for any days I want over Christmas, I'll just ignore it and let him know on the day if I feel a bit sick and fancy a lie in.
              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 Johnson

                    According to the stars for MrsF this week, her "boss is being a b1tch". I took offense at that.
