i dunno if stocks actually worked like this but from the picture the person with the largest hands sets the spacing between board 1 and board 2, allowing people with smaller hands than him to slip out

"When I was a girl, around 12 or 13, I had a fantasy that I'd grow up to marry Captain Scarlet, but he'd be busy fighting the Mysterons so I'd cuckold him with the sexiest people I could think of - Nigel Mansell, Pat Sharp and Mr. Blobby."

The stone floor is probably really cold though, I bet the guy lying down isn't happy at all.

Also does the man on the left only have one leg, or only one leg in the stocks? If he's supporting himself by the one leg the whole time that's the worst.

my boss's favourite trick is suddenly demanding an explanation of routine office tasks (like sending emails and filling in archival spreadsheets) and making me slowly go through them while explaining every step in excruciating detail as he watches over my shoulder, which has no appreciable benefit to anyone and slows down my workflow considerably. i don't know why he does this but i'm just going to assume it's a sex thing

Does Australia still require you to hand in a notice and give time and all that other BS? Here its just courtesy. I could walk in, quit, tell the boss I hosed his wife and they still have to give me a good reference based on my work record.

i have no idea what my legal obligations are in this case. temping is supposed to mean i'm just a normal casual worker, which technically means that i don't have to give notice, but i also have zero casual worker rights atm and didn't even sign a contract so i need to cover my bases in case they turn around and try to sue me for not giving them eight weeks' notice in triplicate and hiring my own replacement

i wish i could give more context on that but there's not any context to give, he just started talking and that was what came out, i'm like a sticky date pudding with lots of ice cream and my flavours go well together. the engineering manager was making dismayed eye contact with me behind my boss's back, it was very awkward

the same engineering manager refers to my boss as "creeping jesus" because he spends hours per day just wandering aimlessly around the halls, staring into people's offices, his mobile phone sitting forgotten and useless on his desk as various personnel desperately try to get in contact with him

leaving a note with me doesn't achieve anything because as far as he's concerned i am a photocopier making photocopier noises and he completely ignores everything that comes out of my mouth unless it's in response to a question he's just asked, and even then usually he forgets my answer within 5 minutes

So one manager is too involved and the other is too little involved?

Sounds like a horrible work environment. Take your engineering skills somewhere that isnt full of lunatics (so anywhere but mining).

i don't have engineering skills, i'm an admin temp. hence why i stay in awful jobs at all, my prospects aren't great

also the two managers are the same guy - he ignores me for hours at a time and then insists on a blow-by-blow account of basic daily admin functions
