Why Do Only Fools And Horses Work?

Why do fools work like horses? Fredrik

PS: I think when work is in happy conditions, which is rare enough in my experience, it can be rather enjoyable as an activity in itself. It is almost addictive under happy conditions.

More employers should attempt make the workplace happier in my view. Good manners and respect for staff would be a start! I am lucky in that I work hours when few managers are to be seen, and thus only get my bolluckings next day! That I never seem to take it so very seriously, seems to piss them off, but I only get worried if I know that I have made a mistake and did not spot it. Then I panick alright!

Interestingly I got reported by someone to my own manager last week for allegedly talking for a whole ten minutes to some one in the next department over! I don't have ten minutes free all in one go on a shift for a start, but this was a day when we set a production record for a shift without overtime. This eveing we managed between three of us to completely obliterate the same record, and it is simply a question of organisation and never double handling where this can be eliminated. Yes this does allow time for a few minutes grace here and there, on times, but is that less admirable than running about like headless chickens looking (and actually being) busy if Sweet Fanny Adams is being achieved by all this apparent but ill-thought-through, and fruitless business!

The person who was creating for me wants to get a grip in my view, as my manager told this individual! She knows what is going on, even if it has taken time to sink in. At last the penny has dropped, but I wonder if the problem may actually stem from being productive and careful of that most precious of resourses:- time?

On the issue of happiness and the motivation that stems from preserving and even causing a bit of it, I also think it is important for people to be allowed holiday they ask for, if things are slack, and the person concerned has taken the trouble make holiday arrangements at the slack time. This is intelligent and shows a team mentality, which should be encouraged, not sat on. Our record-breaking shift today stems from exactly my intervention in just such a case, and also my own good humour from getting the housing shyte sorted out. [Rare Expletive Smiley].

I think I had better sign off again! Fredrik

Fredders My Dear, your last two posts were quite brilliant in my mind and I feel surprisingly enough on many an occassion I've also myself fallen for the old nice guy trap. Barring close colleagues and friends one must be very careful (unfortunately) in an industrial setup like your own not to get too close to long term folk who (will Fuck you and your mates) wether through jealousy, boredome, nationalistic reasons or whatever my Son, every time male or female.


Fritz von I was gonna say a lot more but decided against it. At present like Naim Characters on here like Partly Manly & Our Eric , I also am an individual who expects things to be done Yesterday and blame nobody but myself if this isn't achieved.

Regards,

Don, I to listened to that report and iirc much the same was said on NewsNight I was left with the feeling that his choice of words implied that the Muslims he had contact with might at the very least withdraw from contacting and helping police. A rather odd thing to say and imho a rather devisive thing to say, were these we his truly held beliefs or his first shots aimed towards his next trip to the hustings.

This morning on R4 Today prog one of the short headlines was something along the lines that 25%? of Muslims were not too happy with the UK foreign policy and this was a major factor that has contributed to the radicalisation of today's Muslim youth. A fair point but why are the Muslim and others who hold this view not using the ballot box? I would expect a party that could count upon at least 25% of the voters would have a good chance of directing future foreign policy no matter who was in power, is this not the way to go?

Obviously not giving all away as this is only an internet thingy afterall, but one has enjoyed many hours of Lebanese stonedness tonight (I ain't no Hypocryte on that subject²) and found the other chaps and chappesses to be most amenable to be honest without a doubt and to the highest level, innit:


Fritz von One doesn't honestly think that Our Jack relishes the thought of temporarilly being PM no more than the Old Fogie Terry will run England (To Europe Hopefully) PM, then Olli Karn May Run Scotland?

Have you ever considered self employment.

A man could make a fortune around my area being a window cleaner. There is not a single one around and we had one do our windows about 5 years ago and he charged £18.

I have bought myself a professional cleaning system of an extendable wiper connected to a hose pipe to clean the upstairs windows but I would willingly pay a man to do it.

Always look for opportunities because they are there.

One uncle, a farmer like my father, observed wrily of a boy who worked briefly for him: "He is full of work - he must be, as I have never seen any come out!"

Wise words indeed! He fired him, at a time when firing useless b......s was easy!
