Addiction

Have been meaning to blog again for ages - but keep getting distracted! Everytime I login - I just have to go and play Mastermind - it is just so addictive. Ah - I see several of you agree - addictive but fun .....oh and very, very competitive!!  

So what's been happening? Well - still haven't started the new job (not that I'm complaining!) but there has been some visible progress. I had the form to fill in asking where I want them to pay the wages. So - that's got to be a good sign, no?

I still have to pass the Security Checks for each of the prisons I will be working in! Who would have thought it would be this hard to get into prison? Maybe if I had just indulged in an orgy of shoplifting in Debenhams - might have been quicker :-)

Still not worried though - have been talking to someone who has worked in a Prison Library - she reports how pleased they all were when one particular inmate had shown lots of interest in books and requested loads on Royal Doulton, which they were happy to get in for him. It wasn't until he had been released that they realised that he had a side-business in making fakes and they had helped to improve his techniques!!

They certainly show some intiative these Master Criminals!! 

Seems that prison does have some advantages over work:

In prison you get time off for good behavior.
At work you get rewarded for good behavior with more work.

In prison, a guard locks and unlocks all the doors for you.
At work you must carry a security card and unlock and open all the doors yourself.

In prison you can watch TV and play games.
At work you get fired for watching TV and playing games.

In prison you get your own toilet.
At work you have to share.

In prison they allow your family and friends to visit.
At work you can't even speak to your family and friends.

In prison all expenses are paid by taxpayers with no work required.
At work you get to pay all the expenses to go to work and then they deduct taxes from your salary to pay for prisoners.

In prison you spend most of your life looking through bars from the inside wanting to get out.
At work you spend most of your time wanting to get out and go to bars.

In prison there are sadistic wardens.
At work, we have managers.

Hehee

Oh - gotta go - someone just challenged me to a game.......
