An oft complained about song by my friend from school comes to mind today.
I doubt he would argue with this case though.
My bosses came to me with a new contract this week, more money and more hours. So kinda wheel and woe right? Well they added the caveat that they wanted my memory to improve… no mean feat in my terms. In fact they went on and on about it almost as though they knew their purchase on this as a complaint was shaky at best.
Then the irony. Today I handed my cup to one of them asking for a cup of tea as he went to get himself a drink (he did offer, just in case you’re wondering). He returned some 5 minutes later with nothing chastising himself for forgetting and taking my snide remarks in his stride. He left and returned again 10 minutes later with, in his hands, his bottle of squash and my cup… of coffee…
Lesson 1 never be a smartass as there’s always going to be a bigger fish and you might just end up falling over it and looking like a real idiot.
