Phone rings...
Me: "Hello?"
Delivery company: "Ah, we have a parcel for you, it'll be coming first thing in the morning. Is that ok?"
Me: "Yes that's fine, I'm in all day."
DC: "Great, could we have a mobile number please?"
Me: "Er, why's that?"
DC: "We like to send a text to remind people that the delivery is coming..."
Me: "Ok, but you've just said it's comong in the morning, so do you need to?"
DC: "Er, well, we'd still like to. We don't use the number for anything else sir?"
Me: "Well, ok then, if you like."
DC: "Thanks..."
Less than 60 seconds after the phone call, the text duly arrived to remind me of the conversation I'd just had!

I'm due to finish at 5pm. Packhouse is wrapping up at 3.30pm, that only leaves two lines packing grapes. Usually, if they're working, so am i...my boss says...
'you might as well get off if its quiet'
I put up a struggle...honest, but i could already visualise extra countryside mileage i could do on the way home, i already knew there was no wind and the sun was shining...i made good use of that early finish.
Just a few words and your day is suddenly lifted.

he has realised i am not a pushover and will direct labour away from his area if he annoys me . I told him i don't need to see the famous end of job double act of clearup and skipit as the lights are on a 9 week lead time and he said that he will personally supervise the clean up to make sure things don't get thrown.

from the achingly dumb accounts assistant upon checking out the menu for our mass leaving-do on Thursday night:
"pork and rabbit pie....is that more pig?"
when being told that parent company is pulling out of this country and will be shutting down the office, and so everyone would lose their jobs
"does this mean I'm being made redundant?"
I won't even start on the horlicks made of AP & AR...

[QUOTE 1867794, member: 76"]On a feedback form regarding my solo delivery of a session which I delivered, following two people delivering the previous session.
Session A. Good information, good double act.
My session. This bloke does a great double act on his own, he should be on the bloody telly.
That'll do for feedback
If only my appraisal was sooner. I am available for all manner of corprate training.[/quote]
