Get Out while you can!

So. Here we go! Have not done this in a while. Got called in to a meeting this morning. Let me stress that this meeting only happens once in a blue moon. Actually it only happens every time my boss goes on leave. His superior and my superior which falls under my boss sort of coerce each other to bring about change and shit out the people that they dislike! This mornings meeting was unlike the rest because of the swearing used by the G.M of the company in his Hitler like demeanor!




Like I previously stated, this only happens when the person who really knows what they are doing goes on leave. Never the less, it happens. How you deal with it is another issue. I have learnt over the years that sometimes you have to take it with a pinch of salt! However, and I pose this as a question. What are the implications of being sworn at by a superior? And advice would be appreciated. My take on a team be it sales, marketing, panel beating, hell even plumbing! That one bad worker can be sniffed out and replaced! However when the whole team is doing badly? Surely the team is only as good as its manager?



When a manager or managers start blaming performance on staff! Then my friends that is a sign of weakness! Especially if the so called manager can do nothing but complain and be negative! Some advice if you will, never get yourself immersed into an autocratic place of work and then try get out of it almost four years later! Cut your losses in the beginning and RUN like Forrest Gump!



I enjoy what I do, I have a very close bond with the people I work with and I am totally in love with the brand! Never will I get sold again. I do the selling , not you!

Eiiinnnna.....

Lately i have not been feeling so kosher! For some or other reason i keep on feeling ill and my immune system is up to bollocks! I don't know if it's the fact that my belloved Chelsea have not lost to Man United the whole season(SHOCK), or that maybe i am really , like as in REALLY ill.

Well i went to the Doc last week, my normal G.P as he has been rather busy the last couple of weeks. Being ill i needed allternative treatment and chose to go see another Doctor. This time however i waited for him and finally got to see him.

As it turns out after a rather quick and yet rather thorough examination (not one of those look no hands exams) he planely and simply told me that my tonsils are farked and seeing that this is the 5th time in a month that i am ill he suggests i get rid of the farkers!

No prob , then leats get rid of them! BUT it is not that easy! Here's why!
At my age! The complications are quite high! Bleeding, infection, Eina and more Eina! But according to the ENT i see tomorrow again, all my other aillments should also become a thing of the past with these two babies gone. Out of every 10 people i have spoken to 9 have said don't get it done.

For onces i am going to follow my heart and go ahead if necessary.
Enclosed please find a pic of Eina tonsils.

Swollen tonsils can be the symptom of any of the several infections and diseases that affect the tonsils, which are present in the throat. Tonsil and throat infections can be caused by either virus or by bacteria, and it is usually spread through water droplets via air.




Usually swelling occurs when the tonsils begin to fight the bacteria or virus entering your system through the mouth. The tonsils are filters and begin to fight the organisms resulting in swelling and pain.



Tonsillitis is a major cause for swollen tonsils. Usually caused by bacteria, tonsillitis causes chronic pain in the tonsils as well as swelling. If this is left untreated, it could lead to further complications such as rheumatic fever as well as heart and kidney problem. The swelling in the throat may even become so bad, that it blocks the air passage and can cause suffocation. This infection from the swollen tonsils may spread to the chest and lungs and may turn fatal.



Antibiotics are usually given for curing tonsillitis and swelling. If the swelling becomes immense and it interferes with the swallowing, hospitalization and need for intravenous fluid may become necessary. Chronic problem of the tonsils, however, can only be cured by tonsillectomy or the surgical removal of the tonsils
