Staff

Staff, what strange animals they are. I have now 5 staff and each month regular as clockwork it is "one to one". This is where I sit down with each member of staff individually and ask them what they think of their progress for the month and then I tell them what I think.
Its a really good idea it keeps them motivated and they know that they can come and talk to you at anytime.
I have one girl in particular she is very moody, immature and thinks she it great. Yesterday she got told in no uncertain terms to shut up or push off. This bought on the tears, but somewhere down the line I really don't think I have got to the bottom of her or her problem (s).
She is unfortunately dating one of the other managers in the office and talks to him, he has opinions himself about how I am doing my job and what i should be doing. I also told him in no uncertain terms to butt out.
Bloody work I will glad when Monday comes. Yes Monday is day notice is being put in, then in 30 days time I will be free of all this crap - hurrah!!!.

No time

Wow I cant believe it has been nearly 3 weeks since I lasted blogged. No I havent fallen off the end of the planet.
My world seems to have taken on a slightly different view of late, my new man bless him wants to buy a property abroad and then spend time etc doing them up, ie property developing. I must say having had a look across the globe there are certainly some fantastic opportunities to be had, so I have agreed.
In a week or so I will be handing in my notice at work, then we will have around three months to find, buy and move abroad. Yes I have started to make lists numerous of things to do!! How exciting, for those of you who have ever read a book called "who moved my cheese" then you might say, my current cheese is getting moldy.
More updates to follow on progress of things to come!

Cant give a job away

As mentioned in my last blog, I was supposed to have a stint of interviews today. I invited THREE people in for an interview and only ONE had the bloody courtsey to turn up.
The job advertised was not diffcult, letter stuffing, shredding and scanning documents, easy money for a 16 or 17yrs old, if they could be bothered. the youth of today, however the young lady that did appear seemed very keen, was punctual and polite and yes I am going to offer her the job!! Well done her. The others that didnt turn up, need not apply in future and stop wasting my bloody time.

Rant over.

What to write

Though it's been a week or two since my last blog, without the risk of sounding really boring not a lot has happened. Still work, eat & sleep.
Wednesday I have a stint of interviews to do as am getting a new member of staff (at last).
Friday am off back to home town, for a few days while new man finalises his house move/sale.
He is up there now will be joining him for weekend and long arduous drive back yuck, my journey by train to see him at weekend takes nearly 6 hours, yuck too.
Friday is gonna be a long day, 6.00am start, 4.21pm train arrive at home town 10.00pm!
In fact am knackered now, might go to bed and get some sleep in !!
