... the IT man in LibraryLand
Calm down, dear reader, the title of this post does not mean that The Tales are leaving you bereft of your regular updates.
Rather this post is about the keen detective work of Big J and Sidekick (in a spin-off team-up). Together they discovered that Supervisor Grand Chief K had allotted one annual leave with no end date in her calendar.
One's assumption is that it is one of the life-long benefits of being an ex user group president.
All that remains now is the simple task of pointing out to Payroll and HR that their records don't match the leave my manager has given me.

Holding the Woman
So last Friday one hosted a gathering of sports fans to fanatically observe the inaugural women's AFL stoush betwixt ones beloved Collingwood (aka the shining light of goodness) and Carlton (evil incarnate).
In attendance were Legion2, Salsa Girl, Doctor David, and, of course, The Great Sandro.
Throughout the match one was often struck by how man focused the games language was - holding the man, man-up, etc. and even many ball related sayings if one wants to descend to smuttiness (which one invariably does).
In contrast to all of this The Great Sandro switched effortlessly to yelling "holding the woman!" and such like at the television - explaining it simply to me as "Well Phill, she is a woman so it's what you have to say".
It just goes to show that even the most simple minded of Carlton supporters can be a shining light of pragmatic sensibleness from time to time.
