..... and for those who don't 'work' in a cosy office environment, (where people wear swipecards round their neck and think up work terms such as 'workshop' to describe meetings), for the front line workers, the ones who get into contact with the reality of their job, they get the Futurama advice....
YOUR NOT PAID TO THINK, A MINDLESS WORKER IS A HAPPY WORKER, NOW SHUT UP AND DO YOUR JOB .... :grin:

I think you are both incredibly off topic with this. Workshops around teamwork are the very essence of our footprint and if we drill down far enough, engaging with employees opens the window to a sustainable workforce.
Guys. C'mon work with me on this, not against, a push-push back culture is the negative wedge which steralises the positive flow we need, I'll organise a facillitated workshop to measure the engagement index..
Bye the way is my pony tail straight?

Did you know if you took all the paper-clips manufactured in the UK in a year and laid them end to end to see how far round the world you'd go, then you'd realise just how bored I am...

Who actually uses paper clips, surely all it needs is a good staple or even a hole punch then you can put the paper that requires grooping together in a nice file.

I use paper clips a lot. They're great for temporary groupings of paper that's shortly to be put into other groupings.

I have two boxes at the minute...one of gold clips, the other of assorted colours.

I reckon there's more to this than meets the eye Grabec ... is there some colour coding at work here ?

Compo, no, obviously I would need to go on a course to learn how to use 7 at once....

andy, no, it's not colour coding. Just that I never know in advance whether I'm going to be in a green mood or a blue mood.
:wink:
