ARrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrgh! Turn up at the crack of dawn when you're in the shower, and start dismantling the house. Leave at 4.30pm with a window to be fitted, with the fitter "on his way". It's a 10 minute job. Almost 2 hours later he turns up, 1 hour on & he's still here. No tea for kids yet, aborted the trip to shops. Then, the builder calls 'round, all spruced up & smelling of aftershave, on his way to the pub, and says: "Haven't you been to the shops yet?" (banghead)
Too much detail about Dawn And why did the builder call round on the way to the pub? There's something very fishy about them theer builders.
He called in "to check it had been done" On the plus side, the window fitter was a very nice man. I have his mobile number written on my wall (Y)
Funnily enough I was going to meet her at the shops ..... but then got way laid by the window fitter.
That reminds me About 10 years ago a relatively new female recruit asked to see me in my office in private. I thought she had some questions about her job etc and thought nothing of it. Later on that day she came in for a chat. "Right then, what's up?" I asked. "I'm afraid it's about sexual harrassment" she said. My heart sank. Thoughts of procedures, appeals, tribunals, damages, legal fees, etc etc were running through my mind. I didn't know what to say. "Errrrrrr...... sexual.... - I mean, you don't really think....?? Errrr..... surely not" was about the best I could muster. "I'm so sorry Ian" she said "But we have a problem here with sexual harrassment" "OK I will try and sort it out, what exactly is the problem?" I asked. "THERE ISN'T ENOUGH OF IT!!" she said. True story! And the solution was very easy to implement.
RE: That reminds me and how did you resolve this problem. thats not mentioned in any managment guide books I actually feel sorry for the builder too. He came round and the house wife was parading around naked claiming to have been caught in the shower
Unfortunately the delay was All his own work - I was too busy trying to deal with hungry kids. I know where my priorities lie!!
Vivid Imagination. If there'd have been a world record for getting dressed I'd have broken it. The builder is not my cup of tea at all.... and he's a dee dar.
I put the lady in question in charge of that function She was brilliant at it. She single-handedly introduced all sorts of new techniques and innuendo into our organisation. It was a very sad day when she left.
RE: With a wave like motion????? Was meant to say waving your steel wand. That went a bit wrong then. give me 10/10 for trying
11/10 for trying "Wellenartig" means "like waves, with a wave-like motion". In view of the context I think the actual meaning fits better than your intended meaning, hence the eleven out of ten.
