ReplyDeleteHey, you got a good sense of humor..:)
ReplyDeleteHa! There were a few that could have described the last place I worked for, "Duties will vary" was my job description completely.
ReplyDeleteCindy - Haha... do you think it'll help??:)
ReplyDeleteJidon Iskandar - Hey thanks... life is too short to be too serious ya:)
Rebecca - "Casual Work Atmosphere" aptly describes my previous job. The pay was chicken feed, I practically wore T-Shirts & jeans everyday, no joke!
Hahaha ... I like the second last one. "Requires Team Leadership Skills" fits me perfectly where I'm working now!
ReplyDeleteHi Nessa,
ReplyDeleteThe last 4 verse dictates my ex-company exactly ... ;)
Nick - You must have thought of resigning a million times... hehe
ReplyDeleteJ@n!ce - All 4? The company must have a high staff turnover then!
This is a good one :)
