Random Irritations

[PJ87]

Yet another thread proving golfers really are a bunch of miserable gits

Seems like the thing most of us like about Christmas is the time off!

I prefer working. If I had enforced leave the last time I'd want to be off is the time of year it's cold and the courses are closed

I'm working until Xmas day then I've got 2 days off and working 27th through until the 2nd

Much better

This was actually meant for the "Are you ready" thread but got distracted by work

Appraisals. Why is turning up, completing my work to the best of my ability and then going home not enough? We have to set some imaginary targets for me to instantly forget until the next time we tick this box.

I week before Christmas and I have developed a huge abscess around my lower front teeth.

Hoping the antibiotics will sort it as the prospect of having the lower teeth between the canines extracted and replaced with a denture plate isn’t a very appealing option

My sister asked what I wanted this year. I said a sleeve of avx balls. £15 but I said buy a box and then you can do a sleeve for bday and Xmas for 2 years

She then said if you buy me these ear rings (£10) as I had already got her something she would get me the box for Xmas

Excellent negotiations

so what is that one earing for this xmas and the other for next.

Na her bday is in 2 months she can have the other one then

Grace Dent - really?! Is that the best they could come up with. Annoying, sneery drawl...not for me!

I like her. A real character. Good choice in my book.

 

[KenL]

I’d like to have seen the Hairy Biker bloke, think he would have been good.

Heard already that it would be a woman.
No men on SPOTY is fine though.

 

[KenL]

Very strange when you consider the amount of very good Chefs etc out there

Was hoping to see Monica or maybe Tom K

No way Tom K!

That's the trouble.

Appraisals done well are beneficial and motivating.

Appraisals done badly are truly awful and damaging.

what’s wrong with Tom

I’m not a fan particularly. Wouldn’t want him on MC. Just my opinion.

If there are 2 people, a chef and someone else with knowledge works best.

Stop kidding yourself! Unless you are a “young” climber, appraisals are a total waste of time even if done “well”.

Think he is great when he is on Great British Menu

His food is very very nice as well

Appraisals done badly are truly awful and damaging.

When my manager comes out for a ride out with me he asks "any gossip, football and where I'm going for my holidays" He already knows I've not been sick or had any incidents. So no need to waste time with that.
At the end I feel benefitted and motivated

But very nice. Done H&F, Coach, Butchers Tap (all Marlow) and his grill in Chelsea. Also had his food at various Pub in the Park events he hosts.

Only Michelin place I have been is the Kitchin (several times), superb and affordable at lunch.
