Also check for loose change. It's amazing how much money people leave behind when they leave a job.
There are only 10 types of people in the world, those who understand binary and those who don't.

Your job is in danger and you're spending time here in the lounge? Get back to work you slacker!
It was broke, so I fixed it.

Well that's the point. Nobody I work with can do the job of filling the Lounge with sh*t as well as I can.

About ten years ago, during the dot com crash, I got laid off two days before I had scheduled a family vacation. I'd already made reservations and bought tickets and so went. Had I known how long I'd be out of work, I probably wouldn't have done it, but I'm glad I did.

Best wishes also to you. Spring does not officially start here in the West until the 21st, but we will not be celebrating until the temperature rises considerably.
Use the best guess

Have you seen the weather forecast?
I suspect Spring will be arriving sometime in May!
(The Met Office count 1st March as the start of Spring, or they would have done if any of them managed to get in through the snow, ice, blizzards and fog).

I was updating the Tax Code Notifications for the new tax year and noticed something that was horrifying.
For some reason I had been changed to BR.
For those who do not know, BR is Basic Rate. This means you pay Basic Rate income tax on ALL of your earnings.
In a state of panic I phone the tax office and through the tears and desperation indicate my unhappiness.
All is well.
It turns out there was an error (no sh*t, Sherlock - Govt. Websites are notoriously crapola).
The rather nice chap took my details, deleted the BR entry, created a new entry and, after disclosing the pittance I am paid, informed me of my new, far more generous, tax code for the next fiscal year.
I also made an enquiry about the tax payable on my investments and since I work out this value and pay it by bank transfer on Tax Day there was no hit on my code.
I also had to disclose the details of the new companies, but explained that these were not registered for PAYE as I would not be drawing salary or remuneration on them and that they existed merely as part of my retirement plans.
Again, no hit on the tax code.
So where did the BR come from?
Answer: We ran a change report the other day that gave a lot of people the wrong code and there was no way to do a reversal, how ever by resetting everyone back to BR they could run a Reassessment Report that would then put everyone back on the correct code.
Why do the Govt. keep using tossers like Crapita to do the IT?

Because the prevailing dogma dictates that all public sector bodies are inefficient, wasteful, union-ridden dens of sloth whereas private sector companies are efficient, responsive paragons of virtue.
It's worked really well for the railways. And all the other PFI projects that will end up costing our kids well into middle age.

A little over 2 years ago I had a similar moment. I got a new coding statement and opened it to find a T102 code with what was effectively a letter of congratulation for now being rich. No sooner had I brought up my accounts to get the right figures to throw at them I got a call from a nice lady at the tax office wanting to talk about my new status. I stopped her pretty quickly and told her the exact ammount I'd actually earned in the previous 12 months to the penny. The response was simply "Oh...click". Two days later I got recoded to a 745L and they've been paying me ever since.
