Routine
Life here is anything but dull.
Unfortunately to the outside world it would seem dull and tedious in the extreme, so if I wrote about my daily routines you would all fall asleep within seconds.
You see, the daily goings on is pretty much the same every day so I would be able to write it once and on subsequent days just write Ditto ad nauseam. Therefore I am somewhat reliant on the goings on in the outside world, but not much seems to be happening there either.
So with one thing and another, I find topics for rambles somewhat lacking these days. It is difficult when one has an urge to write but fuck all to write about.
On thing I did come across was a wee video which one or two of my UK readers may find amusing?
Back in my days of retail management the store manager had to every week submit a wages sheet to head office detailing any overtime worked or absences by staff.
At the top of the sheet was a notation to the effect ‘If no change since last week say so here’
One of our managers would every week painstakingly inscribe the letters ‘S O’
Brilliant! Either someone with a sense of humour or someone who was promoted above his natural level?
In the UK Civil Service, one commenter decided to moderate his incandescent margin comment on a memo paragraph so, instead of scribbling ‘Bollocks’, he wrote the more subtle ‘Round Objects’ alongside the offending script.
This was promptly returned with the question “Who is Mr Round and to what precisely does he object?”.
Excellent! Hell, you don’t have to be from the UK to appreciate that one.
