I had the pleasure today of discussing training opportunities with a couple of members of our Department.
One of them has a bit of a history of complaining about a lack of management support even when support and help has been offered. I should add that he has his very own boxed and inscribed piece of lead for his own expert swinging.
Towards the end of the conversation he uttered a phrase which included the immortal ‘I don’t know nuffink’.
I responded that I really didn’t think that this was true..
For some almost inexplicable reason he seemed rather pleased with this.
A couple of weeks ago the same individual was asking if I knew which Department an ‘A. King’ worked for. I asked if he had checked the internal telephone directory / e-mail address list to ascertain the details, to which the reply was ‘erhh nah’. I suggested that he looked at these directories in the first instance but failing that physiotherapy might be a good place to start.
Responsible management, possibly not, brightening up ones working day, most definitely!

Sounds like an amusing idiot Grendel! Thanks for this- made me laugh this morning.
Some folks just like staying ignorant and play dumb leaving the "hard things" (that would be thinking most of the times) for others. I don't know this guy but it might just be the case, Grendel.
Other than this, thanks for putting up this comments widget. I have been playing with adding my comments with the rss but had no luck and kept on postponing the subject. until I visited your blog today, LOL. Thanks again and its nice to meet you.
