I used to think that people were sometimes promoted to move them into another section IYSWIM?

Yup ... I also think historically it was who'd been there the longest - think that's starting to change now tho'.

I tend to find its more about who is friendly with who, the big boss has all his friends being our bosses

So sold the manicure case, but of a palaver but it's gone now thankfully, will be searching for more things I no longer have need for that will give us money

That is really funny. How do these people get into positions of management?

It depends on the size of the organisation:

For a small organisation:

• You phoned somebody up before 5am to ask them about work? You're keen - have a promotion.
• You got woken up before 5am by somebody asking about work, and you weren't very happy? You're not very keen - no promotion for you.

For a large organisation:

Y. You've applied for a promotion and want a reference? But you're completely useless.
T. I'll be working somewhere else.
Y. I'm not sure the computer can take me putting down how perfect for that job you are.

For all those who get stoopid texts in the middle of the night:

1. Most phones have a silent option
2. If the alarm is set, some phones alarm even if they are off (tho' I'd try it out first just in case)

Sadly even with the phone on silent I still buzzed up


I took an annual leave for today's skydive we drove 1hr 25 mins to get there and say in the place for over 6 hours only to find out he won't be jumping today, so we have the drive back an need to come back again next June .. Tbh not very happy about it all? Yes they have no control at all regarding the weather .... But they knew a good few hours ago that the weather was terrible, they didn't need to have us sitting about for over 6 hours just Incase

Bah is all.
