"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Aimee is right. Billytea.

I'm not doing doubles, yet, bon.

Here's a classic.

*************

I was in a Management Training Seminar yesterday. Subject, Leadership.
It was all about managers sometimes needing to be autocratic, and sometimes more democratic and take staff viewpoints into consideration more.

"Name anyone who you admire as a leader" says the trainer.

"Buffy The Vampire Slayer" I say (three out of five of us are Buffy fans in the room -- I love my workplace).

"O.K." says the trainer, going along with it. "What kind of leader is she, Autocratic or Democratic?"

"Well, most of the time, she's democratic, but there are principles she won't compromise and then she turns Autocratic and says 'this is the way it's going to be'"

"That's a good example yes. Having principles is important, for instance our editorial policies. But you shouldn't abruptly change from one style of management to another -- how does Buffy signal a change in management style?"

"Uh, she ... puts her hair in a ponytail..?"

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

Ooh, good guess. I was trying to remember who was inducting whose workplace into Buffy.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Good call, billytea. Points again.

"Mmm. Doughnuts. I could totally go for a doughnut. Or the still-beating heart of my idiot coworker."

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…

Either shrift or Dana.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

Either shrift or Dana.

Come now, one of them had a particular idiot co-worker that we heard quite a lot about.
