Post by: JonArgraig on 18 June 2008, 20:54:52
My Boss was of sick, the Team leader was off sick... so been 3rd in line on our departement (and 5th in the chain of command so to speak in the office, so higly unlikly to ever been in charge) I got stuck with running my team, the office, Looking after some visitor from the Gaming Comission, dealing with some retard that thinks he's a Jedi and sacking a piss taker pretending to faint at her desk (3rd day)

The new staff member that has complained we dont protect his religion

So the other half of the team have e-mailed HR and changed there religion to "Sith" and claim that the Jedi offend there beleaves...

Has he no sense of humour? :-/ :-/  As an old time boss of 3,500 staff I had to have a sense of humour to survive, although I would usually sack someone after a "bad for business" episode like this, after the due process of disciplinary action of course! ;)

The highest percentages of such responses were typically in cities with high student populations.[32] In the 2001 Census 2.6 percent of the population of Brighton claimed to be Jedi. The percentages of religious affiliations were:

OMG 390,000 people in this clan   :o
