My boss's face when I told him I quit.
He's been on holiday for the last month and it was his first day back.
I took a lot of pleasure in it.

i had the opposite reaction when i resigned last month. i got on really well with my boss and i think he took it personally. he was a bit of a mentor to me. he's resigned since himself, though, cos the company is in the shitter, so hopefully i'll work with him again at my new place.

Not me. I have absolutely no respect for the man. I often run scenarios in my head that involve me throwing a stapler (or other items) at his head. I can't wait until I officially hear from HR on whether it's a career break or me just leaving. Then I can tell others, which will be an immense pleasure. There are a section of my 'colleagues' (if I could even call them that) that have made my working life miserable. It was really a no-brainer to leave.

But you have flexi-time!

Still didn't win out because they are fuckers. Not worth it to hate where you spend most of your waking hours.

McVities ones always taste stale.

Zactly. This guy gets it.

If you want McVities just buy Jacobs and leave them in the sun for a few days.

That way you support Irish jobs and get the scaldy horrible taste you're used to.

if you think they taste stale then you eat them too slowly. Open the packet and have it gone within 1 day. Then you won't experience this problem

Eat a Jacobs one and then a McVities one and see which one seems fresher to you. The sponge on the McVities ones is too hard, it's like a Jacobs one left out for a couple of days with no covering.

And for the record, I can clear a packet of jaffa cakes in a sitting.

I can't not finish them in one go. They're usually mostly gone before I even get home from the shop.

I will have no truck with Jaffa Cakes. Horrible spongey biscuit, chemical orange filling and latex dark chocolate.
I'd have to be dying to eat another one.

Far more of a Club Milk kind of guy.

 

[Jill Hives]

Chocolate and orange is blasphemy. Last of the roses to go along with fake strawberry.

the orangey bit in the mcvities one is nicer though and thats the crucial part for me

club milks are grand but I'd take a cadburys snack over one. Can you still get club milk? Must have a look in superquinn tonight.

Terry's Chocolate Orange's are very nice. Ample opportunity to make Alan Partridge references if in company, to boot.

Next year I'll give you my tin once I eat all the good ones.
It will be a sea of orange and pink.
