We love it too when you speak in Bean-counterese. It's so sexy!

@catseye3 Fun tibit - cardboard box manufacturing is a highly regional industry. Because of the slim margin on boxes, it doesn't make sense to make them centrally and ship them around the world (ahead of being used).

P.S. definitions of "fun" vary person to person

@xenon Gotcha, Xenon. Thanks!

Writing down "bean counterese".

[Doctor Phibes]

Speaking of bean-counters - my son works in a department store, and they allocate the hours based on the payroll allocated by central office. Central office allocate the monthly payroll based on the turnover from the previous year. So this month, it was completely in the toilet, so they didn't call any staff in, so the poor bastards who are working are completely overwhelmed.

A moron with a computer is a dangerous thing.

I was going to say, "Indeed, just look at....."

But then I realized I'd offend too many people here.

The really dumb ones wouldn't realise you meant them.

You did mean 'them', right? RIGHT?????

As is a bean counter in charge of public health policy.

[Catseye3]

I know who he meant. Don't you worry about that.

Every Monday morning I am in a manager meeting where we go over activity for the past week and compare to prior year... This week I might have caused a bit of a ruckus by asking why we were comparing this week vs this week last year, and perhaps we should compare with 19? And that for the next three months, comparisons might be pointless.

I suspect that pretty much everybody wanks, or has at some time, but not everybody is a wanker.

[Mik]

Yeah, they pretty much are, in one way or another.

To paraphrase a great man...

If you meet somebody and think they are a wanker, they’re probably a wanker. If you think everybody you meet is a wanker, chances are that you are the wanker...

[Catseye3]

Twain?

That guy was a wanker.

I don't think Mr. Twain lived in Massachusetts.

Also, I don't think Mr. Twain said that quote about assholes.

[Renauda]

Beethoven was known to count out coffee beans obsessively in preparing his morning waker upper.

And yes, he had a reputation of being something of a disagreeable wanker.
