A Blank Mind ...

I'm actually sitting here and staring at my PC trying to think of something to post. Unfortunately my minds a blank at the moment (but then it normally is ... hehehe).

I do have quite a bit of work to complete but have just been pretty lazy getting down to it. Besides, my assistant has gone AWOL after lunch and his cell is switched off. That really pisses me off. What's the use of having a cell phone and not switching it on? Then again, I guess he knew I'd be calling him to find out where the heck he is. Somebody's in for a tongue lashing from me tomorrow. I'm not one who ever scolds anyone, I'm a peace loving guy ... hehehe ... but not tomorrow.

I was out for an appointment this morning and when I came back to the office after lunch with some work I'd taken back from my clients place that's needed to be completed by next week and I found him missing. The least he could have done is leave me a note or something! It's hard to find really good people to work with nowadays.

Back in the days when I first started working, a long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away, I used to toe the line. I had the utmost respect (and I still do) for my superiors. I wouldn't ever think of pulling a disappearing act like that. I'd be too afraid to do it. I come to work way before the designated opening time and I leave way after the designated closing time.

But the new generation of the working class are a very different bunch of people. I have people in my office coming in to work way after 9.00 am on a daily basis! I'm a stickler for punctuality and it irks me when I see stuff like this. Where is the commitment to work that was so apparent in the older generation (yeah, yeah, I know I'm old, enough already ... LOL!) There are times when I'm out on the road around 9.30 am heading for appointments and I'm stuck in crazy traffic jams with this whole bunch of other people and it gets me wondering, how come they're all still on the roads? Shouldn't they be in the office already? It's like way after 9am already for goodness sake. Don't tell me they're all in client servicing, sales or marketing? Makes you think doesn't it? Oh well, as my beloved wife would say, 'that's the way the cookie crumbles, honey!'

Gee, will you just look at that? For someone who said he didn't have a thing on his mind to post, I sure talk a lot of nonsense don't I :) Okay, I'm gonna pack my stuff now and head for home. Wife just messaged me that there's lightning and thunder in the distance and I need to fetch my son from school, that is if he doesn't get home before I reach his school (which is about a 10 minute walk from my house) Have a great evening folks :)
