Lovely Expression

[claymore]

I was reading an article last night about Boeing and other companies and the action they take over employees who have affairs within the workplace.
The expression one executive uses is "Fishing off the company jetty" which I think is a lovely phrase and surpasses the one I have used for some time which was "Dipping one's pen in the company ink"
Claymore feels that he should clarify at this stage that this article was read as part of research into workforce development and employment practice and as such was merely of academic interest and not a course that he personally intends embarking up /forums/images/graemlins/blush.gifon.
A Brother in law attempted a touch of philandering a few years ago and Dear Heart and the sisters took a very dim view. He still bears the scars.
Thank you.

Not to mention the residual ink stains!

My old Daddy, who was never one for flowery prose, used to call it "sh***ing on your own doorstep".

On the cruise liners "interfering with the cargo" is a dismissal offence.

Or, the advice given to a young golf pro:

Just don't try and hole out with a Captain's wife.

Re: Mixed message

It's often held that staff relationships are a HR problem. That it some how damages the company. I guess it can if it's a vertical rather than horizontal attachment. Ohh Matron!

One company I deal with found out that their six direct sales employees had paired off. Sales went through the roof, absenteeism halved and they then doubled the size of the department.

Then it all went wrong. Introducing new staff was the problem. New staff lead to realignments of relationships and conflict and sales plummeted and absenteeism went through the roof.

I thought a "Lovely Expression" refered to your features as you drive your Espace.

Well, it must be confessed that the Claymore Facial expression does soften as I drive the sainted vehicle.
It has a thing on the steering column for changing the wireless programmes which I really like playing with and there is a CD changer thingy which I'd love to put some different discs into but I've forgotten where it is.

Altzheimers!!

Plonker, you've just said it's on the steering column! You must be getting old and past it.

Re: Altzheimers!!

OI
The noise up and down thingy is on the column but there's a box somewhere with the CD's in it and thats what I cannot find and I'm getting really tired of Martha Reeves and the Vandellas having been to the French Alps and back with her and then up to Claymore Corner in Loch Melfort and back.
I even listened to the wireless this morning for a change - I think the Pope has died and Prince Charles isn't riding the Grand National Tomorrow

Re: Altzheimers!!

I keep most of my CDs in a box in my living room, coukld it be that's where yours are too? Maybe Dearheart can help you look for it! Otherwise you could be dancing in the street for ever.
