ok, so i started my new job today at norwich union insurance company.



they have a tri-monthly DVD which comes out called 'the mix' whjich is basically a corporate promo tool to numb the employees brains with.



as part of our induction they played us the last one made. and guess what track was featured in the intro and throughout the whole thing?



BLOCK ROCKING FUCKING BEATS!!



BASTARDS!! when i am sat in a corporate hell hole i want it to be soundtracked by such shite as the cheeky girls etc to fit with the mood. i do not want this bland atmosphere ruined with good music!! now when i hear block rockin beats im going to think of machine coffe and super-fake corporate smiles, not dancing off my pickle at 3.00am in a sweaty basement somewhere!!



}:-@ }:-@ }:-@



i bet they havent even got permission either.

yeah, it sux man, honestly - and the DVD was sooooo cheesy, it made me feel quite uncomfortable.



my full job title is 'Personal Incident Manager (Careeer Family - Claims, Generic Level - Adviser)



im not actually a manager, it's just a job title they've given me to get me to do something they don't want to pay me for doing.



i thought id escaped the insurance world, but i need the cash to help with college - it's good wonga and after 5 weeks training i get to go part time as well.



still, met some nice people, there were 3 blokes and 9 girls starting today and all the ladies were between 17 and 22 - pleasing.

oh lovely, definatly a pro to working in a place like that, the ladies 8)



especially when they out weigh the number of men. Fit women, or porkers who'd call Claims Direct after falling off their office chair cos they're too fat.

ha ha, yep spot on, there are no ugly birds where io work its amazing.



my 'buddy' today was a lass called rio - i resisted the temptation to ask if she danced on the sand. she did however have enormous brown eyes, and was immensley fit. however, she didn't get silly humor, so i'll let that one pass it think.

HAHAHA! X-D you only get one chance! how often does that opportunity come up?



I hate that, when you're using your best material, and they just don't get your humour, it's probably from the fact I say the word bastard about 10 times in a sentence that puts them off haha

doesn't sound right I don't think. Basically my job is to push a trolley around and pick up items off the shelf that the customer has ordered. The order appears on a screen infront of me on the trolley.

I'm a cheese pimp.
He put on a turn-down collar, a black bow, and wore his Sunday tail-coat. As such, he looked spruce, and what his clothes would not do, his instinct for making the most of his good looks would.
