Me: blah blah de blah blah de blah and half-thought out blah promise blah next week blah
Boss: Excellent, that's really put my mind at rest
Me: *thinks* phew!!

 

[TVC]

Me: Don't forget I'm off next Tuesday, and for the whole of the following week.

Boss: Oh, I forgot, that could cause me a problem

Me thinks: It doesn't cause me a problem, you should have checked before making promises you now can't keep.

Me; Like what?? Whats gone wrong? Its only 9.30 in the morning..
Mr Boss; ((shouting now)) EVERYTHING is going wrong. Everything. Why dont people listen to me.

i was walking home from swimming pool with my youngest boy 4 , he was fascinated by the birds on the grass bank. I wasn't 100% if they were starlings.

A: look at the birdies Daddy
Me: yes they are having a good feed, i think the birdies are starlings
A I like them birdies.
Me: we need to get a big book of british birds to look at
A: Daddy, you can have my pocket money to buy the book .

I just melted at this point. such a generous boy he is. soooo proud

we (me the wife and the kids) were in Matalan last weekend,and he spotted a bird spotters guide to british birds. came running over with it saying we need this Daddy. we bought it , and he still insisted we should take the money from his pocket money. he got told it was a treat and hasn't stopped looking at the book, he fell asleep in bed last night with the book in his hands.

I gather that small boys are often fact magnets. He'll have memorised those birds in a few days!

Bless him. Keep him on the path of books (and knowing how to learn) and he won't go far wrong.

Trying to unravel WHY they're not using the automatic labellers on the machines, and they ARE applying them by hand isnt that easy sometimes...
Me...'so whats the problem with the labeller ?'
Portugese operator...yadda yadda blah blah, yadda blah' he rattled out like a machinegun...none of which i understood.
Me..'show me'
Portugese...yadda yadda, pointy point, blah blah'...still didnt understand, dont know what he was pointing specifically at either.

So i saunter off and have a word with the line leader.
She didnt understand why we stopped using the machine, 'the ops just told me it doesnt work any more'
So i go see the supervisor...
Supervisor...'well we got to have them going, but apparently the labellers dont print very well on these labels, but we cant carry on wasting labour applying them by hand.'
Me...'well once i decipher WHY they dont work, we'll work it out...its not rocket science, just setting up issues'

So i go back and talk to 'the one'...the only one who can give you a sensible answer, the one i should have asked in the first place....'why dont we print these on the machines any more ?'

The 'one'...'cos they're not thermal labels...they wont buy them cos theyre too expensive'

Oh FFS...these's nothing wrong with the machines, the ops dont understand, the management have forgotten what sort of labels you need to do the work on those machines,

So its back to the management...suppressing a smug grin...'they're not thermal labels...they'll never work anyway'
'Management...'oh'

my dad says he is the exact image of me at that age. reading whaever he can. he thinks we haven't noticed he can read his Thomas Tank books and have spotted him doing that several times lately

Interesting. My older nephew is nearly 5 and although very bright is apparently reluctant to read - or at least to do his 'reading homework' for Mum and Dad. I gather that remarks along the lines of "But if you learn to read, you'll be able to study dinosaurs better..." are met with "I don't need to, I know everything about them.... "

It's quite possible he's reading happily to himself, but just not keen to do it out loud.

I'll be there next week, I'll see what he's up to!

So yesterday on the radio I heard if you want to keep upstairs cooler, open your loft hatch, which I duly did before going to bed. Laid there, said to the wife....
'only one problem,
'what's that?' she asked
'bats could get in the room through the hatch''

The look of horror on her face was a picture...I doubled up with laughter and got a dig in the ribs for my trouble.

A very happy drunk city boy at Wood Green underground station kept bumping into me, then said,

'If I was sober and you were drunk I'd find this really annoying'.
