Tired and depressed
The photocopier isn't working. The CCTV is only half working. The TVs in two rooms have two channels each which are not focusing. The central heating isn't working and understandably I can't keep my staff in cold. Told them to use other parts of their bodies more (including brain) than their tongues but it didn't go down very well. Electric heaters make them dry and calor gas heaters give them headache.
Did you hear the gale force in the late night? It was blowing 90 miles per hour. Wheelie bins were flying and a few trees have fallen at the back near the pond. To top it all up I heard a noise. The yard wall and wooden gates with another 5' wooden frame on top of the gate had just collapsed falling outwards. Luckily no one was there or it could have hurt them. So it's all taken down now leaving the back open. More time wasting with estimates and arrangments, not forgetting the money.
I am just going to lie down on the sofa and watch casualty - something I haven't done for a very long time. Enjoy your evening. Bye.
I loved your quote:
"Told them to use other parts of their bodies more (including brain) than their tongues but it didn't go down very well."
Not very diplomatic, but as an ex-manager, I know so true!!!!!
I hope the business changes soon work out to cause you less hassle rather than more.
