Random Irritations

S.M.A.R.T.(E.R.).

For some reason, the last two rarely get mentioned. “Evaluated, Rewarded.” I wonder how many of us have been tasked with setting SMART goals but didn’t follow the process through. For me, it just overcomplicates a job. “Here’s the task, go and do it.” Alternatively, let’s waste time turning it into war & peace.

The “rewarded” element never applied in the public sector, Bri, so we didn’t bother with it

They were a colaberation between VW and Mercedes, VW Crafter, Merc Sprinter.
At least it's not the new Transporter which is a Ford Transit.

It’s better than our other van, which is an E-Transit. Range of about 140 miles on a full charge. We have solar panels on the roof of our building so it costs virtually nothing to charge it up. A real pain though if you need to do a long round trip and have to wait a hour somewhere while it charges so that you can get back to base.

Bought a new pair of chinos in M&S yesterday. Tried them on when I got home - perfect, as M&S sizes always are for me.
Cut the tags off today and set of to Sainsbury's sporting them whilst wife was at a gym class.
Had a quiet pint with my newspaper on way back.
Got home and wife noticed I was wearing them. Looks at me and says "Really?"
I look down and see I'm still wearing the sticky strip down the side declaring my waist and leg size.
Worse, she says "And your fly's wide open".

(She'd put this in the Laughter thread!)
