i saw this on the wall onsite it was in the programming section of the comany's IT department i had gone to do some work for, it raised a smile with me, and i think many on here will get the joke.


There are 10 sorts of people when you talk about binary, those who understand it and those that don't.
 
Yeah m8 ;) nice one. lol

I was taught binary in secondry school 35 (yep 35) years ago lol. Never thought it would be any good for owt then :) :)
No home pc's in them days pmsl
 
lol....just got this one after 2 hours of thinking about it...lol ... gr8 1. I am going to use this at work and see how many of them are as daft as me... :) :) :)
 
This joke reminded of this famous resignation letter…

It’s probably been posted before but it makes me laugh every time I read it…Enjoy!!

Mr Baker,

As an employee of an ???? Ltd, I have a few very basic expectations. Chief among these is that my direct superiors have an intellect that ranges above the common ground squirrel.

After your consistent and annoying harassment of myself and my co-workers during the commission of our duties, I can only surmise that you are one of the few true genetic wastes of our time. Asking me, a network administrator, to explain every little nuance of everything I do each time you happen to stroll into my office is not only a waste of time, but also a waste of precious oxygen. I was hired because I know about Unix, and you were apparently hired to provide amusement to myself and other employees, who watch you vainly attempt to understand the concept of "cut and paste" for the hundredth time.

You will never understand computers. Something as incredibly simple as binary still gives you too many options. (i love this line)

You will also never understand why people hate you, but I am going to try and explain it to you, even though I am sure this will be just as effective as telling you what an IP is. Your shiny new iMac has more personality than you ever will. You walk around the building all day, shiftlessly looking for fault in others. You have a sharp dressed useless look about you that may have worked for your interview, but now that you actually have responsibility, you pawn it off on overworked staff, hoping their talent will cover for your glaring ineptitude. In a world of managerial evolution, you are the blue-green algae that everyone else eats and laughs at.

Managers like you are a sad proof of the Dilbert principle.

Seeing as this situation is unlikely to change without you getting a full frontal lobotomy reversal, I am forced to tender my resignation, however I have a few parting thoughts.

1. When someone calls you in reference to employment, it is illegal to give me a bad recommendation. The most you can say to hurt me is "I prefer not to comment." I will have friends randomly call you over the next couple of years to keep you honest, because I know you would be unable to do it on your own.

2. I have all the passwords to every account on the system, and I know every password you have used for the last five years. If you decide to get cute, I am going to publish your "favourites list", which I conveniently saved when you made me "back up" your useless files. I do believe that terms like "Lolita" are not usually viewed favourably by the administration.

3. When you borrowed the digital camera to "take pictures of your mothers b-day", you neglected to mention that you were going to take pictures of yourself in the mirror nude. Then you forgot to erase them like the techno-moron you really are. Suffice it to say I have never seen such odd acts with a ketchup bottle, but I assure you that those have been copied and kept in safe places pending the authoring of a glowing letter of recommendation. (Try to use a spell check please, I hate having to correct your mistakes.)

Thank you for your time, and I expect the letter of recommendation on my desk by 8:00 am tomorrow. One word of this to anybody, and all of your little twisted repugnant obsessions will be open to the public. Never f*** with your systems administrators, because they know what you do with all your free time.

Sincerely,

Ted Brewer
 
This one I penned myself when I left my last job :)

Feel free to adapt it for your own use

Dear Tom,

Please accept this letter as my formal letter of resignation. My last day will be January 4th 2004.

I have done all in my power to fit in with so called “Business Requirements”. My wife has planned her shifts to fit in with my rotational pattern, but apparently this is not deemed to be good enough for some persons within the Transport department. For some obscure reason, moving beer from one place to another is supposed to come before my family. I’m sorry, but this is where our priorities differ greatly. The farcical disciplinary hearing due to my inability to change shift at such short notice was the deciding factor, and I’d like to take this opportunity to thank you for forcing my hand, thus encouraging me to actively search for a more rewarding career.

I have recently been offered a new post with another company, with such benefits of pension, health & dental care, 3k+ pa more than the meager pittance which **** laughingly called a wage, numerous prospects for promotion, and an opportunity to exercise the grey matter. This, along with the fact that full ongoing training is readily available and encouraged forced me to make a decision which was quite easy and took little consideration. In saying that, a position of junior goat herder in Outer Mongolia would be a more positive career step than staying with **** as a Transport Clerk.

I want to thank you for all you have not done for me in my employment here, it has been sheer torture, and mind-numbingly boring, and sincerely hope you find a replacement relatively soon. I’m sure that Edinburgh Zoo would be willing to train one of their less ambitious chimps to slot into the void which I leave behind.

Glad to be gone,
 
Very Impressed with Diamond....you must be as ancient as me :)
