Phew - I can still say Bollocks with impunity! ;;D

Of course I NEVER forget my "Genteel Texan 101" and I say "Thats nice" instead of "who gives a f**k?" all the time ;)

[smiley=JAW_DROP.gif] Damnit, Barb! All this time I've been calling Helen an aggressive go-getter and she's been thinking it a compliment. Now she knows what that meant.

I suddenly feel the need to get out of town for a while. [smiley=worried.gif]

Try this:

"We're looking at dealing with some downside to the proposed solution"

Instead of:

"We're f&*cked!"

I guess there must be something similar for management as well.

Say: You're doing a great job. Keep it up.

Instead of: Here's a banana... now get back to f--k'n work.

with warm regards,
Tony

You know you have an HR Director with a good sence of humor, when you send this to her in email and she laughs hysterically, and takes a break with you outside for a smoke.
