It's not rocket science, so why don't I get it?

I got the award, I have written down the opening part of his speech, if anyone knows what this means please let me know!

"Most forward-looking companies invest in optional logistical matrix approaches and Piquant always follows this approach..." - fairly sure I don't as I have no idea what it means!

So I am employee of the week...

Get you! Are there any perks associated with this esteemed award? Milk and sugar provided for you for a day perhaps? You don't have to bring your own cake to cake Friday?
No I have no idea what his speech means - Is there anything more tiresome and irritating than someone regurgitating endless corporatespeak. Urgh. Reminds me of doing Chaucer at college - spend so much time translating it you lose interest in the content.
Is your boss called David Brent?

No he's not, but the Office character must have used him for some core character traits...

I didn't get anything, just recognition! is there anything more important??:rolleyes: He does corporate speak all the time, always blue sky thinking or having heads up...complete rubbish most the time...

Well done you. Did the head patters come up trumps with the smellies you wanted?

Indeed they did! 15 bathbombs from Lush!! My bathroom smells fantastic:D

Couple of DVDs, bottle of wine and a new purse. I think I did very well.

update

I've just paid £175 to the card! All because of the two month break in council tax and water rates. I've never actually used the money before, just frittered it away on nothing. I'm feeling justifiably proud of myself. I think I might get the card sub £1500 this month.

My month finishes tomorrow as payday is Wednesday and I have 96p in my account :j It would have been a little more than that, but any extra hits the card!

The food and petrol budget has come in at £194.67, £5.33 under budget.

On the annoying side of life, I got a parking ticket because my permit has faded in the sun Now as I pay £755 a year, I am not paying £25 on top of that. So far I have sent seven emails and two letters disputing the fine. Have suggested they print the permits on a non fading material....

I wish my debt was in the 19ks, you are doing so well. I only managed to put 1 of my free months towards the debt

Ah but....this is only phase one, the 19k is credit cards! I have a couple of loans too. I can't deal with them yet. I'm leaving them to sort themselves out for the time being. Once I've cleared the credit cards I'll tackle the loans....then the mortgage....

Hi Piq!

I am so sorry I haven't been around for a while I've been posting on "what small things" everyday but not been on the net much at all - it's been playing up which hasn't helped!

Anyway, tell me all the gossip! Great news on the overpayment today by the way! :T

No gossip my dear, unless I make some up about hamster who's disappeared again! Well, it is Spring and he's probably got other things on his mind :eek:

Great that you're feeling better. I've joined you in the weight losing stuff, do feel that you should be able to lose a stone in a week though....

It's wrong, just plain wrong. All that effort, all that not eating, we should be floating away with our lightness.....Oh no, just realised I am old enough to remember the ad where the woman floated away because she ate Nimble bread Tried that once, ate the whole loaf.....didn't work, didn't float away or lose any weight
