Finished the decorating. Licking wounds from conceding late goal at spuds 
looking forward to day off wishing I could be at the Oval to see Hants tomorrow enjoying some interesting music.
Well done on the nags, Pet. Nice to see the bookies money heading towards good causes !I will not be pushed, filed, stamped, indexed, briefed, debriefed or numbered. My life is my own.

Now, I'm sure it says a lot about me, but I read that as a "Guiness" weekend - which sounds pretty good!Originally posted by Petrushka View Post
But congratulations, Pet - enjoy spending it!

No big win for me this weekend, alas. The poor weather resulted in too many non-runners taken out at the last minute.
Monday morning looms again already. I have a new boss starting tomorrow but have Tuesday off to meet up with friends so should be an interesting week what with York races as well.
Any tips from Alison for York?"The sound is the handwriting of the conductor" - Bernard HaitinkComment

Best of luck with the new boss, Petrushka, because at one place I worked I was never able to discover whether or not I was any good at any job; each new boss had an opposite view of myself and my efforts, either wanting rid of me or lavishing praise on me.Originally posted by Petrushka View Post

I see that Ataraxis is entered for the 6.25 at Newmarket on this coming Wednesday, the 16th. Wondered if there was still some confidence behind this one?Originally posted by antongould View Post"The sound is the handwriting of the conductor" - Bernard HaitinkComment

probably shows you were doing things well !!Originally posted by Serial_Apologist View PostBest of luck with the new boss, Petrushka, because at one place I worked I was never able to discover whether or not I was any good at any job; each new boss had an opposite view of myself and my efforts, either wanting rid of me or lavishing praise on me.
I try to ignore them and do the actual job, while they faff around promoting each other and grabbing all the money and reorganising structures...
Back to that tomorrow morning.
More bad news is that all my Myaskovsky CDs are stranded at the garage in my poorly motor. Still "Absence"...etc.I will not be pushed, filed, stamped, indexed, briefed, debriefed or numbered. My life is my own.

This is pretty much my philosophy as well. This particular one is a big contrast to my previous boss. For one thing, she's female and, moreover, damn near half my age! When I started work she wasn't even born!Originally posted by teamsaint View Post
The Peter Principle is followed in our company as a rule (isn't it always?) so it could be interesting.
