It is not as if there is nothing to write... but there are somethings we can't write about.
However, I was cleaning up my inbox, and came across this mail. It is written by a good friend. Though past retirement age, she is still working to 'pass her time' and the salary - extra pocket monies. This way we can afford the occasional indulgences without having to worry about digging into the retirement fund.
It is also a reflection and reaction on how we have had learnt the 'tricks of the trade'. We have been through a life time of grind in the work place - with politics galore.

Title: My job is not without humour!
Incident or rather conflicting instructions by the various directors/bosses of a family owned company, over a small matter:
no. 4 son say "give the keys to JJ"
no. 3 son say "give the keys to AA"
chairman mommy say "move the books to uthant"
no. 1 son say "move the books to office"
no. 3 son say "move the books to penthouse"
So what do i do (as an employee)?
ALL OF THE ABOVE.
How else can i justify my salary?

Yes, the secret of life if not survival is very often -
- to be able to look at the positive
- if not giggle at the idiosyncracies of the situation.
It is also the typical reality of how one human being wants to assert their power over another, and be the 'head dog' in any community.
So I raise my glass, toast and wish the young ones - good luck!
May the force if not the LORD be with you!
