Excellently hilarious article!

Environmentally friendly idea too. If everyone stopped ironing, the world's CO2 output would probably drop by 0.03%!

I read that book "Superwoman", and it had a chapter on ironing.

The entire chapter was just one word: DON'T!

Fuck Ironing.  I pissed it off several years ago.

When my bosses whinged, I  told them that If they wanted me to live up to their corporate standards, I'm overwhelmingly willing to iron my clothes before wearing them to work,  providing they pay for the clothes I wear during business hours, and I do my ironing on the time they actually pay me for!
I'm especially willing to do so if they pay me over-time to do it out of hours.

They went so far as to buy us uniforms - except I can't wear 100% nylon, unless they only want me to work 1 week in six, as that's about how long it takes me to recover from the full-body rash caused by wearing 2 * 100% el-cheapo nylon t-shirts for for a week.
(which is what they provided, along with 100% nylon Jackets)

Until then, they can either pay for someone to do my washing and ironing at MY convenience, or by mutually acceptable means.

Or they can just accept the fact that a bloke who crawls around dust and mouse-shit covered  equipment (and that's some of the nicer stuff), whilst fixing *equipment/user* problems in ultra urgent situations, does not actually need to wear a suit and tie or uniform!
Especially if he's simultaneously saving them (and you) $40,000+ per hour, for each hour of down time!

And if thats what they want, they are more than welcome to pay me out & hire a fucking model!

*The rest has been edited to cover my own arse - don't ask!, just don't ask!*  wink

I hope you're feeling better now, Hammer.

When I departed from the public service I only got a $20,000 payout, but I didn't care. I was just SO happy to be out of that fucking place.

Well, I'm somewhat emptier, but still far too sober!

Yet another shitty day in the pubic service has passed, and I have to go back to hell tomorrow, Dammit!.

Thursday's numers anyone -please?

Oh! BTW! Nice article! I like! You may not have noticed, but you pushed one of my buttons, which is what a good article should do, even if it's just the funny-ha-ha button.

Just don't start me on wearing ties, or I'll post the multi-page letter I sent my bosses, defining why I should not wear one. Ever! And haven't since  grin

I can't stand ironing. Especially when I know I'm about be around people who *notice* those sorts of things.

Bloody ironing pedants...  sad

That ad for ABC Classic FM which tries to make you think that ironing to classical music is some kind of wonderful experience is clearly eight kinds of bullshit.

So... when should we expect the next installment of ''tales straight from the life of Shane Cubis'?   tongue  grin
