Reporting in without any enthusiasm
 

I have just finished a 4500 word report, on a very
dull subject, for a bunch of dullards who wil disregard it, and for what? Oh! we'll get a report for you on that!
A load of shit for a bunch of shits. Welcome to modern management.

Only one thing for it, break open the single malt.

My dear chap! The Highland Park has been wending its merry way down my throttle for the last hour or two!:thumbsup:

Re: Reporting in without any enthusiasm
 

Money, I hope.

A handful of peanuts with the occasional pistachio - I'm stuck in the Yuck...

Re: Reporting in without any enthusiasm
 

Top ho Mr Janx, but is Highland Park a single malt? Give me an Auchentoshen, Laphroig or Talisker any day old bean,

Re: Reporting in without any enthusiasm
 

Yes, Highland Park is a single malt, and very good it is too. :thumbsup:

It was the favourite of George Mackay Brown, a great Orcadian.

Re: Reporting in without any enthusiasm
 

It is the great favourite of me, too, a Semi-Scot in exile of Fife.

I got my dad some Big Peat when home for the summer.(He's called Pete you see).

Didn't last long

Re: Reporting in without any enthusiasm
 

You can call me Pete too - I'll give you the address to send it to :lol:

Re: Reporting in without any enthusiasm
 

:huh: How big are you, Peat?

Re: Reporting in without any enthusiasm

Re: Reporting in without any enthusiasm
 

I spent three days last week doing some pre-lim research and reporting on something.....only to be told today that it was a massive waste of time, project isn't signed off and that when they said it was live, they were telling porkies.

:thumbdown:

Re: Reporting in without any enthusiasm
 

that's frustrating :(

Re: Reporting in without any enthusiasm
 

It was like having my bollocks tickled when they told / asked me for it.

Then like having them bitten this morning.

Still, it wasn't 4,500 words long!

Re: Reporting in without any enthusiasm
 

Is the project likely to go ahead in the future?

Re: Reporting in without any enthusiasm
 

Fingers crossed. Just been delayed a bit. Might only be a few weeks, but we'll see.

Fortunately the work is never completely wasted, I've got a promotion in the pipeline and this would have massively helped.

Still, could be worse!

Re: Reporting in without any enthusiasm
 

Well not too bad then - and :fingerscrossed: for the promotion :)

Re: Reporting in without any enthusiasm
 

Thanks, you're a friendly one. Visit here more often.

Re: Reporting in without any enthusiasm
 

Not all mods are miserable, cranky old barstewards. Just me.

Re: Reporting in without any enthusiasm
 

:lol: Thanks - I aim to please :lol:

Re: Reporting in without any enthusiasm
 

So we've all been told.. :rofl:

Re: Reporting in without any enthusiasm
 

Normal run of the course for me - Only about 20-30% of our projects succeed.

Re: Reporting in without any enthusiasm
 

Indeed. But I'm sure if you had the right people you'd increase that percentage....

Re: Reporting in without any enthusiasm
 

Actually, not really. This is a trend we see across the business in all regions.

Re: Reporting in without any enthusiasm
 

Millhouse's most boring post ever.

Unless that is some SERIOUSLY veiled sarcasm?

Re: Reporting in without any enthusiasm
 

I am not entirely suprised. The amount of times I've been involved with situations like that, only for them to fizzle out like a damp sparkler now numners many multiples of ten! At the end of it, I'm always left thinking * Which bellend came up with this bloody silly idea, and which bloody silly commitee thought it would fly?*
