In a few more days it'll be time for Christmas.
With the exception of the commercialism of the non-stop Christmassy music, the endless commercials droning on about what to buy the sprogs and the entire plastic look of it all in general, Bodger actually likes Christmas.
The idea of putting up a real pine tree and decorating it nicely opposed to some garish scene from a Tim Burton movie, snow which is a rare commodity in these parts, gift giving and being with the ones that mean the most is pretty cool.
However, the commercialism side apart, there is something else that has set Bodger off and it's this:
The main boss at work is getting audited due to inefficiency most likely as well as job performance and is being looked at quite closely.
So, in order to look good in front of his bosses who are breathing down his neck, he decreed that ALL personal belongings are to be removed from our cases where we get the mail sorted for actual delivery.
By ALL, this apparently included pictures of family/loved ones which is contrary to established norms in that we are allowed to have these types of pictures there so we can at least remember that we are still human beings.
But NO.....the gaffer decided that ALL personal items are to be removed including the pictures. And he personally took one down of my new lass which got Bodger quite irritated. When confronted about this the gaffer admitted it and then when it was told to the bosses that we were ALLOWED to have up to five pics up, they acted like that was unheard of.
However, the gaffer has all types of pics/plaques/etc hanging from the walls in his office.
I guess it's OK for his office to look human while our gray colored cases are to look like mini prisons.
Then Bodger was told that it would be discussed later and to NOT get upset. NOT GET UPSET!?!?!
How the buggery bollocks do you NOT get upset when people mess around with personal items just so they look good?
So much for keeping the blood pressure down.........Snapperheads!!!
OK, rant over, so please forgive Bodger for this rant, especially just before Christmas, but I'm sure you can understand to a degree how I feel about this.
Anyway......to all out there, have a Merry Christmas, Happy New Year and Hogmany and be safe while out there riding!
And on New Year's Eve at the stroke of midnight, no matter where you are, join Bodger and Bodger's Lass in lifting a glass of your favorite liquid adn ring in theNew Year.

Sounds familiar Bodger...but remember, bosses come and go...and the pics will probably return. Now if the bosses would actually listen to the workers and consider real ideas on...oh, there I go dreaming again.
ReplyDeleteMerry Christmas to you and have a safe New Years. And here's to another year of playing with the old nails and getting them all shined up again.
Yeah, you're right Larry.....he's going and there is precedence for us to have the pics so that'll be pursued.
ReplyDeleteThe New Year will be bringing more work on the piles of scrap metal, more toys to play with and more time with the girly :), it's all good!
Have a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year and a dram of your favorite tipple!
