Lily Unleashed

For the last 5-working days (not including the clicking jaw) I have at least had some peace to deliver what I do best. I love work, and I enjoy the role and feel totally committed to making a success of the total collaborative outputs! Yes, I would say that this would mean I get off on pure team work and I value the contribution I make towards that end goal along with others that also play an equally important part.

Not one person in any organisation can honestly say that they, and they alone have made something most incredible happen. Success happens as a result of people’s input and sharing and it does not matter at what level – a collaborative approach means that minds meet, ideas are shared, debates follow and a conclusive structured plan is implemented. The most important thing is that following this evolutionary process means that those that participate buy-in to the concept and therefore focus on delivery. It’s pretty much text book – so why would the return of the rooster pose a problem?

Because, when your rooster is nothing more than an oversized (super-size me) extrovert with the people skills of a knat, probably sectionable under the mental health act due to the extreme split personalities under a single umbrella of a person! It makes a huge difference when you are trying your hardest to take an SME to large scale.

Apparently it’s very common of SME Roosters to possess the inability to let go once their organisation begins to grow beyond their individual ability to have daily control. I suppose this person would be described as a control freak – to put it midly.

Anyway, I am strong enough to withstand the bullying because I know I am not alone. However, how long I can keep my trap closed is another matter? (it’s only been 6 months since I last let my gob-off) – (I believe in honesty and that things need to be said rather than bitched about).

So, a new day dawns and maybe tomorrow is the day that Lily loses her rag! It is that time of the month after all – do you think that would stand up in court as mitigating circumstances?

If you could do with some light-hearted humour, then please follow this link to see the funny side of Yankee marketing (although this is a joke, but at the same time totally believable if you are an American citizen).

Anyone else going?

I am sure that everyone has a few pet hates and things that they personally find really irritating to the point that it drives them crazy.

I have recently been subjected to about the 7th internal office re-shuffle in the last 20 months. I really don't have a problem with that - I’d like to think I am a flexible type of person. I don't even mind not being seated in an area that is occupied what I would call good work mates. Sometimes it’s good to be with new people, get to know them better and all that stuff.

However, on this occasion, I think I may literally go totally bonkers. There are not that many things that annoy me so much that it causes physical sickness. My god, just thinking about it turns my stomach into knots. I person in question is actually a very pleasant person, which does make it all the more difficult especially when they only sit less than a couple of feet away.

The combined food-fashion of detox diets and the in-between meal snacks does not help. In this specific case, the culprit to which promotes the extent of the defect is the one and only pine nut. Very nice indeed, I like them myself but when you combine the crunch with an individual whose mandible is obviously not quite in the right place, the noise... "click, crack, click, crack...", is totally fixating. The more I hear, the more I seem to focus on it and it becomes louder and louder - and believe me this person loves their nuts!

Nuts are literally driving me nuts! I have to keep leaving my desk and going for a wonder because I can start to feel myself flushing up with frustration and anxiety; there is nothing I can do about it. I don't want to offend this person - but I do kind of want to ask them to look down the end of a 9ml barrel...

If I were rich, I would buy up all remaining stocks of crunching food items just for some solace!
