Acme, I can totally relate to your tale of woe.

(You don't work in an Oz state government department, do you? I could be working in the same place as you, based on your description of what has been inflicted on us by managers over the years.)

This is the first song I thought of. It is probably not entirely relevant but the first line pops into my head on a regular basis.

Irish Rovers Good bye Mrs Durkin

"Goodbye Mrs Durkin, I am sick and tired of working".

I'll be singing that song in April next year, but I might change some of the lyrics to make them more specific. LOL

Also, not entirely relevant to your situation, but I'm been a union rep for the majority of my working life, so I can relate to the song.

Strawbs - Part of the union

Good luck
Helen
