I have a son in law who often Emails me a thought for the day. Some are simple, some are great some are both. Todays simply said " Improvise, adapt and overcome."

Beware the big round of optimism which comes after a deep slump. Work stops for a time as stocks are rundown and eventually they have to be replenished. Called renewed demand, but, is only a filling of the empty holes before an eventual fallback to low levels.

The big round of optimism is here now. Who will be the bigger fool?

When people talk they can be very boring when speaking about their children, parents etc., and drivelling on and on. However, put an animal in there place in cartoon form and we watch and listen and are amused, as well as concentrating on 'most every word.

Which is better? Grumbling and moaning about a job and swearing and cursing all the way through, but finally doing the job and doing it well but leaving everyone basically stressed out and pissed off, or, being pleasant, polite and speaking in an interesting manner and leaving everyone happy and content, but the job undone.

I would like this one .. being pleasant, polite and speaking in an interesting manner and leaving everyone happy and content, AND getting the job done.

But if you ask the Mrs most times I am most likely.. Grumbling and moaning about the job and swearing and cursing all the way through, AND finally not doing the job or not doing it well and leaving everyone very stressed out and pissed off...
Unless I am cleaning the fridge, I love cleaning out the fridge, all the beer gone. A job always well done. I help many people to do this.

Happy is he who has cleaned out his mates fridge!
