Well me and my big mouth – going on yesterday about how quiet it was yesterday- only to have a new boss start today ………………
This was sprung on us all , but the lady in question introduced herself as Donna , so informal it was :)
Now Keith - one of my workmates has got an even worse memory than me , but uses very silly things to help him remember , and in this case he unfortunately chose Donna Kebab , which is a type of junk food that you usually have after ten pints of beer on a night out – to help him remember Donna’s name.
Which is fair enough on the face of it , but its Keith were talking about here , so we are just sat waiting for him to call her………………………
……..Mrs Kebab………… :)
Round and Round
-----------------------------------------------------
I’m not really in to what I will call the “meeting culture” at work , as to be honest it tends to be a self perpetuating - waste of time , which seems to be further proved as they always end up as -
………meetings about meetings about meetings ………
......if you see what I mean :)
I do however - attend he odd Union meeting with our Directors , and various Health and Safety gatherings , as these tend to be of a short duration , and actually get something positive done , as a result
I’m usually put forward by staff for these particular functions , and its in my opinion its the greatest honour , that people actually trust you enough to do this , so I can’t really refuse – can I :)
There are of course the professional meeting goers , who seem to attend every single meeting possible , but just sit and say nothing , well except agreeing to the date of the next meeting – of course :)
One of our guy’s put a newspaper clipping up a while ago , which was written by a Chief Executive , and was actually slamming the meeting culture in general.
This clipping sat on the notice board for all of about …hmmm…..five minutes , until our red faced boss - not Mrs Kebab I hasten to add - turned up , demanding to know who had put this article up .
I don’t think this clipping was put up with anyone in particular in mind , but it certainly seems to have hit the target , hence our little red faced friends - vast over reaction to what was a simple newspaper comment :)
