The China Pearl Inn part 7

It’s ridiculous Raven! The enemy could be advancing on Buck Palace and I’m stuck in an office filling out a form. O and it’s not just an e form. We have to complete a paper back up! God help Great Britain!

Rant over

I feel your frustrations. My hardest job mentally was figuring out we and when not to be a bullet magnet, for the people I was assigned to.
 
Only 19 Robyn? My god so young! I imagined you a bit older, maybe early twenties.

*Pats the child condescendingly on the head... Then runs for the cover of the bar before fingers get broken;)*

PEACE!

Was just teasing, no hitting! Can't touch me I'm on 'base.' *taps the bar* :D

ahahahahaha.

Uggg:rose:

That’s a challenge! Our beef is these rules are written by government pen pushers who’ve never served and don’t know one of a gun from the other.

Ok us girls are going to the pub to get it out of our system. Mines a pint of cider
 
I slide Robyn's cider over to her.


It is only a myth that a army moves on its stomach it floats on a sea of paper work. You haven't lived until some clerk refuses to unlock the armory, mind you your under attack until you present a signed chit..........its happened Robyn.
 
No kilts around here. Although, I did see an unusual sight yesterday. I was at the grocery store, sitting in the parking lot, when a man walked by. He was wearing a leather vest, cowboy hat, and boots. Now those things aren't unusual in this area, but he had on spurs. Who wears spurs when they grocery shop or even drive? He was in such a rush that he couldn't spend two minutes taking them off? I have to say that it was the first time I have seen a pair of spurs being worn in town.

Shiva, forty is young to me, although I do remember it better than I do twenty. ;)

Reports should be in triplicate, single spaces, typed on a typewriter, without any type of correction fluid or tape. If you make ONE mistake, you must start over. ;) I remember having to write essays for school in ink. One error or slip of the pen and you had to do the page all over. I really appreciated the ability of computers to delete errors easily. When I first started teaching, report cards were four copies and you had to press really, really hard to get the final copy to show clearly. Make a mistake and you started over since there was no way to correct the copies underneath and the forms were legal papers and could not show errors scratched out. Of course, they had to make the reports so that there were a zillion boxes to mark and in which to write detailed comments.

I vote for everyone to NOT being a bullet magnet.

Fire under a kilt? Yikes. Perhaps something along the lines of glove warmers would be less combustible? I do not miss the days when dresses were required at school and work. The moment the rules changed, so did my clothing.

In triplicate, as you say CG. Any potential invader will have to do a full risk assessment of course.

Great Britain can never fall while there's bureaucracy.

Please, PLEASE! Don’t start her off! She’s furious about all this! We all are! Bloody stupid!​
 
Very true Sal can't argue with that it is stupid, but it goes with command whether officer or senior NCO. ;)

But of course Chris..........Shhhh its our secret weapon.;)
 
Robyn has already turned in and I’m off to bed now. Probably dream of those bloody forms! Goodnight all :cattail::kiss::heart:

Looks around for the source of disembodied voice. It's a sign. I'll mend my ways. Yes. I really will.
 
*Crawls out from under the bar and stares around bleary eyed.*

Anyone about?
 
*Reaches out from under the bar and hands CG a little tin of baking. Gropes about for a bottle of gin and vanishes back under the bar*

;)
 
But we DO TAKE YOU to our beds! We access 90% Of Lit on our smart phones and we have to take our phones to our bedrooms in case we get an alert. Sal and I take ours to our beds. So you DO SLEEP WITH US!

How was it for you dear?
