Don't push you're luck today!!!!

Last week I set aside some very important business documents (which go back over 5 years) in my office.

Today I discovered the cleaning lady had thrown the documents away and there is absolutely no way I can get them back!!!

So to say I am livid is an understatement

I'd hate to be even remotely related to that cleaning lady, Boss.

Don't worry about me, I'll be on my best behavior.

Hope you get lucky and find it in the trash. You never know.

Maybe the cleaning lady is more than a cleaning Lady and actually screwed everything up a couple months ago.And if your cleaning Lady is your Mom,Wife or Girlfriend,I'm just kidding

I guess a subpoena duces tecum is coming her way!

Let's keep our fingers and hope you have a duplicate copy of the documents stashed somewhere.

Deep Breaths man - I know its a pain the ass those papers gone but take a few minutes to think what it really means ....... ??

My mum is 70 next month & was visiting one of her friends last week who has Parkinsons & had a bad accident. She'd taken a bad fall - broke her arm in a few places, damaged her leg. Can't get up the stairs, having to sleep in an arm chair & her husband having to dress, feed & take her to toilet, etc.

The day after my mum told me that story - I was out for a cycle on my bike & thinking about her friend - made everything fade into insignificance & I felt like the luckiest guy alive just to be out in the fresh air taking in some excerise.

Let's hope nothing happens in another 2 years, then you are off the 7 year liability period.

On a (possibly) related story

"Police in Melbourne are responding to a call made by a McDonald's manager who fond a woman's finger in a package of McDonald's Hash Browns. Oddly, it was scotch-taped to a 5-cent coin. No prints are available, as the tip has been carefully filed off. Only bit of information available is that it had a fresh paper-cut near the knuckle area. Police are searching for other pieces of the puzzle."

Remind me not to mess with Steveo ever again....

You should get a scanner and go "paperless"

Scan your documents.
