There is talk that they'll cut one of the customer service representatives from our office because when the president walks by and there is no line it makes the office appear as if it isn't busy. In short, the mandate is to slow down our operations enough to form some lines.
This is a type of customer service wherein the customer serves us, I guess.
The problem is, that the staff is usually doing something anyways. For example, a person may bring in a substantial amount of work that has to be processed. That person may be at the window for 2 minutes but leave behind 15 minutes worth of work.
I know when I enter the DMV if there are no lines and four staff members waiting to help me I'm the happiest person on the planet. I don't think "OMG, what a waste", I think, "It's about freakin' time I got some service."
This is just a face palm idea for me.

Try selling the yahoo on the idea that persistent lines give the impression that the products are so bad that customers must come down for service.

So whenever the pres is nearby, get the back-office guys to come out and queue.

A month back I was on a brand-new 787.
Flew like a dream.
No blinds in the windows; you just dim the glass. Fantastic.

Yeah it must be an amazing machine they have orders to build 950 more of them!

From Article: The failure resulted in six of the seven toilets on the plane not being able to flush.
The airline said that it was looking into the problems.
That made me laugh...
It was broke, so I fixed it.

I have been given a brief to "Arrange New Year". Our normal MO is to go away and stay in a nice hotel where we don't have to do more than crawl from blow-out meal to detox-unfriendly drinks to the next indulgence; all the while knowing the girls are safe and welcome to be there. Last year was an exception - we went to Paris and partied with friends - but this year I need to think up something winning.
So the requirements are:
- Hotel with CHILD FRIENDLY NEW YEARS PROGRAM. 100% requirement; cannot be ignored.
- UK based. We have to stay here due to being on call.
- Calm ambiance and a bit posh. Examples are Tortworth Court[^] and The Newton[^].
- Plenty of trips to take in the area. We did Snowdonia one year; Scotland was fun.
- Things like a health spa, pool or golf course would not go amiss.
So hive mind, any ideas?

Not sure I understand the extreme reaction. Thought it was a harmless little joke.

First time I've been accused of having any kind of sense at all.

This year why don't you propose an alcohol free party where everyone challenges each other with self improvement ideas for the upcoming year?

As I said above. But twice.

You're like a hero to me.

Bravo, Chris!
My resolution was to put more things off. That was in 1973, and I haven't got around to making any more resolutions.
