HumouR Us... It has been reported, that those working in Human Resources are amongst the unhappiest workers in the United Kingdom... There are occasions when the nature of our work perhaps puts us in a more sombre mood than most, but that's not always the case and there can be a lighter side to our work too - even some humour on occasions and we will be using this space to share some of the funnier aspects of our work. Some of the stories will be true; others will be entirely fiction - but in all cases, names will be with-held to protect the guilty!!!!

At a New Year's party, Peter turns to his friend Ken and asks for a cigarette.
'I thought you made a New Year's resolution to quit smoking' Ken responds
'I'm in the process of quitting...' replies Peter with a grin '...Right now, I am in the middle of phase one.'
'Phase one?' wonders Ken
'Yeah...' laughs Peter '...I've quit buying.'
On New Year's Eve, Daniel was in no shape to drive, so he sensibly left his van in the car park and walked home. As he was wobbling along, he was stopped by a Policeman who asked 'What are you doing out here at four o'clock in the morning?'
'I'm on my way to a lecture' answered Daniel
'And who on earth, in their right mind, is going to give a lecture at this time on New Year's Eve?' enquired the Policeman sarcastically
'My wife' slurred Daniel grimly
Jemima was taking an afternoon nap on New Year's Eve before the festivities. After she woke up she confided to Max, her husband, 'I just dreamed that you gave me a diamond ring for a New Year's present. What do you think it all means?'
'Aha, you'll know tonight' answered Max smiling broadly
At midnight, as the New Year was chiming, Max approached Jemima and handed her small package. Delighted and excited she opened it quickly. There in her hand rested a book entitled: 'The meaning of dreams'
