Wots the job?
Got up at 6:15 this morning and drove for half an hour. On arrival at my destination I was given a short refresher course by the boss of the establishment, whence she left to go to her office.
After five hours on my computer, my next task was to drive to a venue half an hour away with a passenger and supervise at that location.
At six this evening I had to drive back to the venue that I left in the morning and drop the passenger back there. I then drove home and arrived back by seven o’clock.
Tomorrow I will be go back to the location, although I don’t have to be there till 0830. When I get there I will be expected to look after yesterdays passenger whose needs are paramount. The working pattern will however be different. I will stay to await the arrival of the boss, mid afternoon, and most certainly have to give her a full debriefing of events that have occurred.
However the day will not end there. I’m required to work overtime (Unpaid) until midnight, as the team that usually covers the evening are expected to attend a bonding session with their peers.
Have a guess at what the job is.
DISCLAIMER: There is no monetary prize for the correct answer.

Ring Ring
The house phone rang this afternoon. On my picking it up I found that it was from my phone and internet service provider. After the usual preliminaries “ We are recording for Blah,blah, etc”, the caller got down to business.
1. Have you any problems with our service?
My reply: Broadband is slow, and often disconnects.
Her reply: Errm, here’s the number of our service department.
2. Are you satisfied with your phone charges?
My reply: I rarely use the home phone as I have more free minutes on my mobile than I will ever use.
Her reply: Errrm….
3. Have you got Freeview or Sky?
My reply: Both
Her reply: We can let you have a digibox that will allow you to record and rewind, download films and fly you to the moon. (Alright, I made the last one up).
My reply: My system already does that.
Her reply: Errrrm.
Now comes the crunch that she was really leading up to.
4. Would you like to sign up for another year’s contract?
My reply: Why would I want to do that? Your terms and conditions state that once I signed up with you, after one year, It would be a rolling contract able to be cancelled at any time.
My service provider frequently gets bad press. It seems that they are making a concerted effort to tie their customer base in for the short term and maybe use this in advertising their service. “X thousands of customers have renewed their contact with us”.
Hint: My provider is what women do x two.

IN GOD WE TRUST
A Blond in Church
An Alabama pastor said to his congregation, "Someone in this congregation has spread a rumour that I belong to the Ku Klux Klan. This is a horrible lie and one which a Christian community cannot tolerate. I am embarrassed and do not intend to accept this. Now, I want the party who said this to stand and ask forgiveness from God and this Christian family."
No one moved.
The preacher continued, "Do you have the nerve to face me and admit this is a falsehood? Remember, you will be forgiven and in your heart you will feel glory. Now stand and confess your transgression."
Again, all was quiet.
Then, slowly, a drop-dead gorgeous blonde with a body that would stop a runaway train rose from the third pew. Her head was bowed and her voice quivered as she spoke, "Reverend there has been a terrible misunderstanding. I never said you were a member of the Ku Klux Klan. I simply told a couple of my friends
that you were a wizard under the sheets."
The preacher fell to his knees, his wife fainted, and the congregation roared.
