Ah, this is the problem, I work with people who take themselves so terribly seriously all the time.

But they do not take what they do seriously.

I don't take myself seriously at all, which really seems to irritate some people - but I take what I do very seriously indeed.

And then the people paying the wages don't seem to understand why my time is *so* *bloody* *expensive*. Yeah, it's not expensive, it's just a lot of money.
