Howdy!

After noticing Olivia hanging around late last night I was left wondering whether you rota yourselves in to be online at certain hours of the day and night just to keep an eye on things? Is it essential that one of you is always available?

If so, how do you work it out? Do you take turns or draw straws? Or do you armwrestle?

And if you do draw the short straw and have to stay online during the graveyard/drunken arses shift are you allowed to work from home with gin?

More importantly.

Do you work from home, and are you allowed to be "drunk on duty" ?

and do you wear silk smoking jackets ?

FasterHigherBeardierDaddyman · 21/08/2012 13:52

And what biscuits do you have atm?

(I've got some bourbons that taste of custard cremes. I'm not impressed.)

That sounds awful.. Grin
I have a stash of Milk Chocolate Digestives which I am working my way through slowly (I've had them for around 2 weeks now...)

BeardyDaddy you're still after that :p emoticon aren't you?

OlaRapaceFru · 21/08/2012 15:51

I think MNHQ has different colour-coded phones - a bit like Reggie Perrin (for those of us who are old enough to remember Blush) or maybe like a BatPhone.

Yellow for low key problems.
Red for getting serious.
Blue to alert Tech.
And Black with a flashing doodah on it for mega problems.

Or perhaps they have an MNHQ torch to shine up in the sky, with the MN logo, to wake Olivia up after she's fallen asleep having drunk too many gins but not eaten enough bickies? This would only work on the night-shift, of course.

BeardyDaddy - you do know you're not going to get the raspberry smily, don't you? Well, you might - but you know you've got to buy them a crate of gin first? Grin

lisad123 · 21/08/2012 15:53

I just want to know how to get a job at MNHQ?? Grin

OlaRapaceFru · 21/08/2012 16:10

Right at the very bottom (if you're on a PC) they advertise jobs at MN. It doesn't look as though they have any at the moment - unless I've missed something!

FasterHigherBeardierDaddyman · 21/08/2012 16:13

kat that's such a TSSDN COP-out!

FasterHigherBeardierDaddyman · 21/08/2012 16:15

I'll try to find an image of a phone with a flashing doodah!
Back soon!

OlaRapaceFru · 21/08/2012 17:23

Have a look at this www.freakingnews.com/The-Bat-Phone-Pics-41592.asp. That bat, just above the keypad has to flash.

Actually, I've just thought of something else. Will be back shortly - again!

OlaRapaceFru · 21/08/2012 17:28

OK, here's a different MN bat.
Not sure what it could be used for in MN Bat communication though Confused Grin

Does someone carry a black brief with phone handcuffed to wrist in manner of President and Secret Service?

Cynner · 21/08/2012 17:32

Ummmm...BLACK BRIEF CASE..not black briefs..secret service men look more like white boxer pant types..

nickelcognito · 21/08/2012 17:32

nickelcognito · 21/08/2012 17:33
