Not sure how I get this 'leave' - I'm busy covering the others!

Roll on the next redundency tranche - I'm very tempted!

Yes, redundancy.....hehehe all the way to the bank!!!

[TheHogwartsBEngO]

chance would be a fine thing!

I've redundancy, only involuntary and without the financial benefits and no pension.

great init?

And as every other fcuker in the office has been promoted and/or posted without a replacement in sight, I'm spending my last couple of months looking like a one-handed paper hanger doing the job of 3.

Wind-down? what's that then?

You could do what most people do on wind down, simply not give a flying f*ck and wait until someone else does the job.

Honestly, how many times have you heard the phrase....

"Couldn't give a sh1t, I'm on leave / posted / detached / out of the RAF / not here" (delete as applicable)

[Tino]

I've spotted the techies.....they come out of the HAS's when the Sqns shut.....with the pointy hats with the bells on......doing the kung-fu with the sticks!

Just can't bring myself to do that. Maybe that's my problem - I'm loyal, hardworking and conciencious. I also consider that I'm not a complete thr0bber, nor a tw@t and actually have 'people skills'. This probably explains why I have been passed over.

[budgie]

Is it the techies who put the magic in the nutri-grain bars then?

Sorry BEngO if that sounded harsh, it wasn't directed AT you, merely just stating what every one else seems to get away with.

And yep, I'm one of those passed over types. Most experianced smally fairy on sqn, so I get put into LITS Cell. GGGGGGGRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR

Don't lie HB if that was the case you'd never have got through Cranwell...lol They're obviously just catching up with the mistake of letting you through...lol

Not personal HB just humour...LOL
I look forward to working out youre civvy nickname in a couple of months.

don't get me started on LITS! 'cos of all the others leaving, the fact that I have worked out how to log-on to LITS I am now considered the office LITS expert. (Something about a kingdom of blind people?)

Only yesterday Wing Co asked me "BEngo - you're the LiTs expert - can you put your spell books down for a moment and find out how many hours our aircraft have flown between this particular set of arbitary dates - no rush, need to know in about an hour"

:PDT_Xtremez_08:

(some very nice people in Wyton G block helped me out of that pickle - ta)

as for a new civvie nick name - hmm, how about: "Nimbus3000Eng" ?

[rest have risen above me]

Nimbus3000Eng Like that ...
But surely you'd just ground the broom fleet with a pointless Fri afternoon UTI for serial number checks LOL

And you're right never admit to having a LITS logon.
Our Sqn clerk has just made a similar istake with JPA he said he could work it Oh is his in tray full...LOL
The "Kingdom of the Blind" isn't that a small insular place near Whitehall.

[TheHogwartsBEngO]

maybe I could introduce the firebolt into service?

only 5 years late, and 50% over-budget.

Then again, I will always be a BEngO - although as a civvie I will just be a BEng!

(oh the insult! my post noms are MEng (hons))

Now come on BEngo I offered to come across to the pavillion and help ot with LITS, I am an expert.

Down in Wokka land we have the 'Chinook pixies'

Come the night they appear out of their hidey holes to magically fix all the cabs for the next days flying. Anybody lucky enough to observe them would experience magical smells, flashing lights and an odd 'language' usually reserved for the cess pits of Hades...

I was trying to get away with a full career in the RAF without punching someone in the face.

Besides, an anal, lean and QA obessessed individual such as yourself is going nowhere near my desk.

I tried that to start with. It all went a bit wrong in '93 on 60 Sqn, when I had to educated some gobby SAC. I have found it very useful over the years as a way of getting your point across.

[budgie]

The other technique 'fake tears' then Sausage?

if he thinks we are on leave then he thinks jpa is working.....:PDT_Xtremez_42:
