I think that they may be to prevent the punters getting wet.

Obviously from above.

There are open air restaurants about 10 metres to the left on the same level.

I was really angry at work today.
One of the guys at our place M is on the sick-we know he is playing the system-anyway he contacted the company hr manager and complained that he had been short paid due to 'errors in the accounts dept' so my boss and I-the accounts dept reminded our hr manager that M's sick note ran out on the 4th of October but his next 1 started days later so there were 4 days without paperwork to cover his time off, this was raised on the Monday after and hr repeatedly messaged him but he didn't respond, so payroll came around at the end of the month, no paperwork so he didn't get paid for those 4 days. He eventually sent another sick note after payroll was sorted, so, no, it was not an error in the accounts dept, it was his error for taking so long to sort out his sick notes and for ignoring hr. Damn cheek :mad:

Rant over, as you were.

Back when I was a corporate marketing director, we (marketing and sales) referred to the Accounting Department as the "Sales Prevention Department." :laugh:

The CFO and I were both major car guys, so we became personal friends. He knew the nickname, and laughed about it.

We switch away from Daylight Savings Time at midnight Saturday/Sunday. Before long, it will be dark at 5PM. I hate that. :mad:

I know a woman who works for airways. Govment job, she's the HR lady, she's also a known thief from a previous job, and her personal life is a mess. How do they get these jobs.? And another friend who is the laziest p.o.s I know and bullies his elderly father. He had been out of work and I asked his dad what is he doing now? He laughed and said he's a councillor? Peoples lives, ffs.

Today, Halloween, is a significant day from a lunar perspective. It will be a full moon, and a blue moon. For those not familiar, a blue moon is the second full moon in one month. It doesn't happen often, thus the term "once in a blue moon."
