BOFH: The Board members are looking very ill these days
It should be said that in any modern company the word CHAIRPERSON would be used, however in a Company like ours with a board full of crusty old farts who refer to the 1970s as"the good years", I'm not holding my breath.
Which is gilding the lily somewhat. To hear the senior managers you'd think the Chairman had fallen in– rifle in hand – rather than in front of the boardroom drinks cabinet with a half-glass of sherry in his grasping fingers. "The black armband's milking it a little, isn't it?" I ask when the Boss is gone. The PFY had heard about my minute's silence gambit and is obviously lining himself up for a couple of days of bereavement leave as well.
"I know you're still upset and everything," the Boss says kindly,"but there's a Health and Safety issue that needs addressing.""Uh, no. It's just that the, uh, late chairman was, uh, discovered by one of the cleaning staff.""Well, it turns out he'd passed away several hours before then and had only been discovered then."
