This is unixronin’s knees, mate.  We wishes to register a protest, on account of walkin’ a mile and an’alf up hill an’ down dale two days in a row wivout notice was a bit bloody much.  Pushin’ it, know wot I mean, mate?  The union bruvvers won’t stand for this ’ere kind o’ be’avior day in, day out.  We demands a day of rest between each o’these expeditions, or else an ’igher pay scale an’ ’ot tub benefits.  An’ don’t give us none o’that “The management is considerin’ yer request” guff, neither, mate.  Roight?

[FILE RESOLUTION:  The knee union’s petition will be taken under advisement.  No action is planned at this time.]

No action is planned at this time.

Not even the requested 'ot tub?

[unixronin.livejournal.com]

Oh, I'd love to have one, but we don't have the money to do it, especially right now.

The "'ot tub" doesn't sound un-reasonable. That should be granted, if access is available.

[unixronin.livejournal.com]

Unfortunately, access is not currently available, and there's no money there to do it.

Hot tub time can be rented. Though, you may not have money for that, either.

Hot bath?

Careful... careful.. can't have this sort of sedition spreading southwards.

My knees would like to express their complete sympathy for your knees and would like them to know that they'll be offering support in the form of a work to rule. Effective immediately.

How about a counter offer of a nice long soak in the bathtub with an increase of painkillers? My knees and hip accepted that one.

Our bathtub is a regular American standard bathtub, which is to say not in the least bit comfortable. Too short, too shallow, and not comfortable either to sit or to lie in.
(Did you know the dimensions of the American standard bathtub are what they are because it started out as a hog-scalding tub?)

My sympathies to you and your knees, and wishes for a speedy and concilatory negotiation process.

Permission to metaquote you?

[unixronin.livejournal.com]

Go ahead. :)

Sounds as though the union of the knees is somewhat disjoint.

[unixronin.livejournal.com]
