Christmas Gringes – Get A Life
Goodness me you would have thought I had said something controversial, which is highly unusual, saying I liked Christmas. All the Gringes came out. Hate Christmas, waste of money, blah, blah, blah. Miserable sods, you know who you are. Just be wary I have now made it my mission to play, Feliz Navidad, Snoopys Christmas, I saw Mummy kissing Santa Clause and many old favourites every time you are in the club. Put that in your pipe and smoke it.
That aside another crazy week at the club with corporate events and thanks to the volunteers for helping out, a small team they are and they need support. Mind you….
One member was observed doing a George “Dubbya” the other day. His better half handed him his phone as he had an important call. He took the phone said hello, couldn’t hear properly, told the person to speak up, again couldn’t hear properly and repeated the request. Again he couldn’t hear and was yelling into the phone when he suddenly had a look at the phone and realised it was upside down!!! BUGGER!! Turning the phone the right way up he of course found that the caller had disconnected and left a voice message. Now if that isn’t a sign, what is. Name withheld.
And did you see the taxpayers pay bureaucrats that speak fluent maori a bonus. What a waste of money. Hopefully this lot change the process, but of course that other useless lot put it in formal agreements. If you need to speak a specific language for your job, fine, but in a collective agreement, really. I have worked in a number of countries where foreign language skill was a must but don’t ever believe that governments had a bonus language policy. Mind you it wouldn’t surprise me if the French had a penalty clause for speaking English though!!! I am sure it will all be sorted out over Christmas.
