Love-In Your Work


Every now and again people in middle management speak to their bosses and their bosses will slip into the conversation the name or names of some dull-witted management training guru they've heard about recently and then the worst thing imaginable happens.
Those middle management types, because they have no imagination nor ideas of their own and want to cosy up to the upper eschelons, then read the books of the aforementioned guru and instigate the ridiculous practices they've been told to adopt on their own staff.
Today is one of those days when my colleagues and I get the sharp end of this practice as we embark on "The Love-In".
The idea behind it is that over the last week or so we've been compiling our own list of things about each other that we really like and we will present these lists later today.
So how does that improve the show then I hear you cry? Well.......I don't know!
The idea I guess is that if we know what each other likes about us we can do those things more often thereby creating a better atmosphere on the air.
As we all know when you hear something for the first time (like an ABBA song) you quite like it but after hearing it 30 times in 2 days it gets boring so surely if we take all that to heart the things that endered one to another will, with more and more exposure to it, become the attributes that you find annoying?
I'm all for being positive but when it's being enforced I can't help but rail against it.
I hope one of the team find that an endearing quality......otherwise I'm f**ked!

Read some “positive thinking” Blinkist thing last night before bed in the hope that this morning I’d be a tsunami of energy. I wasn’t but I did take from it a couple of ideas about surrounding myself with joyful sights and sounds and so I listened to The Fall on my drive in. My immediate boss (1) isn’t around and so I took the positive placebo and got stuck into my ever growing work list. I’ve been playing around with a desire to relive the 90’s and blog about it trying to convince people, the wider universe, that the 80’s were shite and the 90’s is where it’s at. I’ve had a radio idea fermenting, now thinking about blogging to go hand in hand with it. With that in mind I went on to the official charts website and started to listen to every album that charted in the 90’s in order. Three weeks in, pleasantly surprised by Loop and Jungle Brothers. More thoughts formulated after tea and a bit of work. I will expand once I’ve properly got a plan. One of my best friends from uni is coming d
