Funny and sad - because it is true

I tried your link above. There is no video there, so I'm not quite sure what you are talking about.

There certainly are when I go there. Maybe check if you have some spam blocker or something cutting it out (it's not spam, it's a short hilarious movie, but spam blockers sometimes block other things). Or perhaps another browser.

I apologize. The video is there. NoScript was blocking it. I agree with you, it is a very funny video. The 'Cheap Charlie's' will probably add it to the repertoire, if they haven't already. LOL

Thanks. :jap:

Good one Phil, having worked in one form of service provision industry or another for most of my life, that really hits home.

I guess I have no experience with this - I only bill by the hour. End of story.

Well OK my boss once expressed the opinion that they're paying me "more than the Thai Prime Minister" - which was sadly not true, not even close

I have heard criticism in the form of "well you live in Thailand so your living expenses are lower so we can pay you less". My answer was short: "What if I moved to Paris tomorrow?". That ended the discussion

Good one Phil. Reminds me of a customer that wanted to know if there was some kind of free download that would solve her fried power supply.

I'd ask him why they were paying the Thai Prime Minister at all.
