and have applied and got a job with a different firm.



In your excitement you write a text to your girlfriend telling her and add a bit extra slagging off your current boss.



Due to alcohol or drugs you incorrectly send the text to the wrong person.



So did you send it to



a) your MD



b) your contracts manager



c) the MD's daughter (who is the secretary)



WTMW (again)


Don't suppose he managed all of the above?

(or possibly just c, but with added descriptions of what he wants to do with her later :-)

not sure his gf would want to know...

Is the fact you put "your contracts manager" in this list a clue or diversion?

C, who then passed it on to the other two?

None of those is a good option. Just wondering how accurate the slagging off was.

Your new employer?

Glass half-full: he's leaving.

Would his current boss be you by any chance?

I have known one post to Facebook that they were skiving from work "visiting a relative in hospital" whilst at a theme park with photos. Not smart as some of their Facebook friends still at work were less than impressed... (there was a genuine relative seriously ill in hospital)

:-)

it's not uncommon for late night/early morning photos of them in nightclubs on FB before phoning in sick the next day because of food poisoning.

And the answer is... [drum roll]...

Alcohol is a poison, so they are not being untruthful.

Oh yes they are!

"Food poisoning" has a well-established meaning which doesn't cover hangovers:

"food poisoning n. illness caused by the presence in food of harmful bacteria or of toxic substances (as bacterial, fungal, or plant toxins, chemical contaminants, etc.)"

Okay. I concede.

You tripped me up on something else earlier today. So, that's 2 points to you. There's always tomorrow ...

it weren't me wot dunnit, I've an alibi

no points please, we're nihilists

<it's-panto-season>

Oh no there... :)

Most blokes can recognise gender but not people so the daughter I'd imagine. All part of life's rich tapestry. Brian

Either I've missed the answer or it's a secret?
