    Anyway, she does her thing and I am tip-tapping away at the laptop, making a few calls etc. She eventually finishes and comes in to say goodbye but as she's going she says that we have some nice DVDs and can she borrow one?

    I'm a bit perplexed by this but say yes and away she goes.

    Thoughts?
    Was it a blue?

      Slightly strange, but can't see a problem as long as they get returned.

              Wow, it is sick when you're 4 off the bubble, 97% on the flop to win the hand, and bubble...

              poker break

              Edit: hand in question.. Probably didn't play it optimally. (didn't realise that I had 3bet, your man had just instabet as soon as the table was dealt)

                    Were you expecting some kind of other question for her to ask? Alone in the house. Just finishing up after a hard days tapping on the keyboard. A lot of pent up frustration. Not a soul to disturb you.

                    And then she asks to borrow a DVD.

                    I can see why you were perplexed.

                      If she can afford a dvd player you should clearly be cutting her wages imo.

                                    Even if he doesnt (IDK), many players shooting at high stakes split or sell action.

                                                                There is so much going on in the Mossad Assassination Murder in Dubai that its hard to figure out what the most amazing angle.
                                                                How do seventeen non nationals living in Israel all have their passports disapear without being reported?
                                                                Were they 'Clean' passports (Most Europeans who travel to Israel and the middle east have two passports one with and one without Israeli stamps)?
                                                                LOL at how much info the Dubai authorities were able to show in public, I haven't seen it mentioned yet but I'm fairly sure they have iris scans that can be used to nail the Mossad scumbags.

                                                                Yea Raoul, I know this is a war and I also know who the good slightly less evil guys are

Seems odd. Mossad have been assassinating terorists for ages across the ME so it can hardly have been a surprise to Hamas that they might target this particular dude.

                                                                                              I'm working from home today as most of the office are off with half-term and I don't feel like going in to an empty office. So anyway, our cleaner comes every week on Wednesday morning. Moldovan lady, seems quite nice the couple of times I've met her.

                                                                                              Anyway, she does her thing and I am tip-tapping away at the laptop, making a few calls etc. She eventually finishes and comes in to say goodbye but as she's going she says that we have some nice DVDs and can she borrow one?

                                                                                              I'm a bit perplexed by this but say yes and away she goes.

                                                                                              Thoughts?

                                                                                                        How do seventeen non nationals living in Israel all have their passports disapear without being reported?

                                                                                                        LOL at how much info the Dubai authorities were able to show in public, I haven't seen it mentioned yet but I'm fairly sure they have iris scans that can be used to nail the Mossad scumbags.

                                                                                                        Yea Raoul, I know this is a war and I also know who the good slightly less evil guys are

                                                                                                        One of three things happened.
                                                                                                        Mossad copied the passports when the people passed through israel and didn't bother covering their tracks because
                                                                                                        a) They don't need to. No one can mess with the jews, and maybe its good to show the world what Mossad can do. or
                                                                                                        b) They stupidly assumed that no one would track the passports back to that one israeli airport (pretty much a non runner)
                                                                                                        Mossad are being framed for getting rid of this chap, and someone other then them did the copying passport job etc.

                                                                                                        IMO no 1 seems the most plausable, that said not that much has come out about the victim other then he killed some Israeli's in 1980. That said I haven't looked too much into it.
                                                                                                        Looking forward to the book which will no doubt be serialised in some sunday tabloid.

What they really do is make sure that the company follows employment law to the letter. That's why they always seem so messed up from the outside.
                                                                                                                That's fine. So, if you have a large HR department why not trim it down and keep the most competent as compliance advisors for HR rules / protocol / law? Get them to review the way in which you hire and treat staff, and leave the actual hiring and management to the managers.

                                                                                                                I'm working from home today as most of the office are off with half-term and I don't feel like going in to an empty office. So anyway, our cleaner comes every week on Wednesday morning. Moldovan lady, seems quite nice the couple of times I've met her.

                                                                                                                Anyway, she does her thing and I am tip-tapping away at the laptop, making a few calls etc. She eventually finishes and comes in to say goodbye but as she's going she says that we have some nice DVDs and can she borrow one?

                                                                                                                I'm a bit perplexed by this but say yes and away she goes.

                                                                                                                Thoughts?
                                                                                                                Fair play to her for asking. I don't see a problem with it whatsoever. If a work colleague asked you for a lend of something at the tail end of a lunch time conversation or whatever you wouldn't think much of it.

                                                                                                                Maybe your reticence in this instance is borne out of some old timey ideas of how "the help" should behave.
