FRIST!
Now back to the article.
Admin
You know I think I could handle a little rain in the office as long as it came with a lot of beer in me.
Admin
Robert would drive me nuts... Right up until he told me that he's already estimated WAY more time than I needed to do everything. And then he'd be my best friend, and welcome to continue his beer and porn addictions. I'd probably ask him to tape up the windows, though.
Nah, I'd tape them myself.
Admin
So Robert's company is on contract to the UK government?
Admin
Admin
I agree, in all respects. At my current job, I sit directly under the air conditioner - where I'm at we've had 100+ F days and the A/C is blowing 68F air all over me. I've been told that the maintenance guy (a friend of the owner or some such) would fix this, but it's been three months with no fix. So one day I decide to place a large sheet of paper over the vent (tucked away in the drop ceiling) to redirect the air away from me. Sometimes you just gotta fix sh*t yourself.
Admin
95%!!!
Admin
Epic fail.
Admin
I don't get it. This is TDWTF. Where is the WTF?
Admin
Admin
So.. If the water is not on yet. What happens in the bathroom after Robert is.. ehh.. finished?
Admin
I see no bathroom here...
At least nothing in the story implies there is one. I suspect it was a matter of visiting a bush out back.
Or maybe that was why they had to make repeat visits to the Pub so often?
Admin
I wish all you ivory tower wannabes would get off your high horses. Cinder blocks and plywood ARE chairs and desks! Do you even know what a chair is? It is something you sit on. Cinderblocks and plywood are something you sit on. Now STFU.
Admin
I was referring to this...

...some participants may be nervous about the likely anal bleeding that might occur. It is perfectly normal to be nervous...
...some participants of class F will likely not possess their own penis. A prosthetic can be borrowed from your PM's supply cabinet. Please wash before AND after use...
Admin
Oh. Forgot about that.
Well, it's not like he has to flush or anything. I suppose a sheet or two of paper towel would clean up fine.
(It's a thinker...)
Admin
You code monkeys are so wacky. This just never gets old.

Admin
Can we have less of the England bashing please? This is the second time in a couple of weeks. (A return to taking the mick out of Indian outsourcing is fine by me, but feel free to go back to omitting the country when setting up the scene).
Seriously.
Yeah, it rains sometimes here. Yeah, we like to go to the pub. But how can that possibly be relevant to an IT WTF?
N.B. For the record, that job sounds awesome. How many free trips to the pub per day? !!!! :D
Admin
<quote>his mood much improved. </quote> umm LSD?
Admin
Didn't the other stories originate in the U.S.? Was that U.S.-bashing?

Admin
This article is soooo false - Pubs don't open at 10am.

Admin
TRWTF is that Remy thinks Colin Baker played Dr. Who
Addendum (2011-08-02 16:17): TRWTF is Colin Baker playing Dr Who... the only true Baker is Tom
Admin
TRWTF is american working conditions
Admin
"They also had a check with a large number of zeros in it."
Were there any digits to the left of the zeros? How about a decimal point?
Admin
I don't know how much more I can take.
Admin
Reminds me of this... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O5yQNwu0kTc
Admin
Seriously, it doesn't matter, if I am working for yankees or tommies, I allways think wtf and want to go to a pub. If I was in that office, I would go to a restroom (different one) too, but only to throw up every time I realize my situation
Admin
Yep. In the US, in general, you're not allowed to drink alcohol at lunchtime. Neither are you (apparently) allowed to masturbate during the day. Neither are you allowed to view adult literature, in whatever medium.
And from my experience, bizarrely, it appears that a lot less useful work actually gets done in the US than in the UK. And, for the record, it seemed to rain a lot more in Florida than it does in Britain - not only more frequently, but also considerably more heavily. (Except for Manchester, of course, where it's famous for raining almost continually.)
So TRWTF here is the fact that the American took a long time (well over a day) getting over the culture shock?
Admin
Actually, no - TRWTF is going for ice creams on a rainy day. It's not the done thing. In fact it's completely crass.
Admin
Erm... Wetherspoons? I think they start serving booze at 9am. Cheap booze. Yay!
24 licenses are very uncommon and normally even places that have them don't open in a morning unless they simply haven't closed yet.
Admin
We are not gangly with bad teeth and eat potatoes! We're fat and eat cheeseburgers, and we pay dentists and orthodontists a lot of money to keep our teeth white and straight!
Admin
Wow, that was startlingly pointed humour there mate.
My trim countrymen and I tremble with fear at the thought of your only-two-political-partied-cus-otherwise-our-brains-hurt, buffet-scoffing-cus-we-love-bacon-and-beef, news-channel-acronym-loving, dentally-obsessed self coming to get us and our potatoes for such a cheeky display of level-headedness.
Actually, scratch that, I like bacon too. Potatoes are for Irish people. (BWAHAHA)
Admin
FTFY... oh and YHBT HAND
Admin
Admin
Admin
which is pretty useful given the rain we have...
Admin
We no bye know.
Admin
I believed it right up until Robert made an accurate estimate for how long the project would take him to complete.
That's just impossible.
Admin
Cinderbox and plywood?!?!
Where I worked, we had to code using typewriters from the 17th century, we had to write 10.000 lines of code and work for 28 hours per day, the building didn't have a roof or walls, we were constantly whipped, and we had to walk 30km to get to the toilet which was occupied except 5 minutes of the day, we didn't have any breaks, and we had to work in complete darkness in the middle of the freeway.
But we were happy!
