I’m glad I don’t have to deal with that sort of stuff at work. Small company advantages I guess. My boss is the owner. If I think an idea he says is rubbish I just say ‘that’s stupid and wont work, here’s a better idea’ and he says okay, let’s do that. As the other way around, if I’m being an idiot, he’ll let me know pretty quickly
It’s nice just being able to say how I think. I normally do anyway in most circumstances, work or otherwise.
Thankfully at work my boss appreciates that attitude. Its safe to say I’ve got in a lot of trouble for having the same attitude within the RAFAC, where senior people are never wrong, and suggesting so is not allowed.

Our work parking situation is pretty bad. Typical industrial estate, lack of parking. The garage opposite us quite often parks cars on the side of our access road. But this morning, just turned up as someone parked on the access road, blocking it. I asked if he was leaving it there, to which the answer was ‘yes, I always leave it here for the garage to fix’. I said it needed moving, as this is our only access. Gesturing at our parked cars and warehouse etc…
Met with a complete blank look as if I’m someone inconveniencing him…
To add, I told him to move it or I’ll go get our forklift and move it my self. And he moved it after that!
In fairness given the full quote (which doesn’t appear at all in Wilfred Owen’s poem) it seem more likely to be referring to the original poem by Horace…
Was looking to book a weekend away; 3 nights city break travelling by train.
The combined cost comes to more than my already booked 5 nights away in Belgium. It should never cost more to travel within a country than through one and on to a third, especially when it’s only for 60% of the time!
Why do all the major retailers seem to think that men only want to wear tops that are either black, blue, grey or white?
Are we really living in that much of a dystopia that corporations feel we must be wearing colours reflective of this? I’m hardly trying to dress like a hippy at Woodstock, but a bit of a variety would be nice!
