Because we work on our own almost all of the time (sole practitioners so to speak) the whole team does not get together much. Once a year we have a planning day. This is where we are told what will happen for the rest of the year (I think that's called consultation). The last 5 minutes is devoted to any issues from us.
Last year it was the introduction to the Mental Health Act 2014 as the main issue we had to get our heads around. _________________ “I even went as far as becoming a Southern Baptist until I realised they didn’t keep ‘em under long enough” Kinky Friedman |

Same sort of boat WPT that is why I was curious - I have a meeting with my team of me frequently usually on the back deck with a coffee but I rarely agree with me and I have given up on Chris Kringle as I am not sure what to buy myself or even if I deserve anything!
And sometimes I make happy thread but sometimes I really piss me off and think I want a new boss _________________ “The greatness of a nation and its moral progress can be judged by the way its animals are treated.” |

When started my new job I was told that management is very big on team bonding activities and attendance was compulsory. The idea of walking into a room with butchers paper and forced audience participation fills me with terror.
Thankfully it turns out their idea of bonding is more winery tours and go karting. _________________ #TEAMBUCKS

Depends. I've been on a few of them over the years, the residential ones tend to be opportunities to get hammered in the evening more than anything else. I think they can vary depending on how they're done.
This one had a simple aim, get a lot of people together who don't really work together but what they do can impact on other areas, give them some group development from some guest speakers and give each area a chance to tell everyone else what they do.
So no butchers paper, sticky note brainstorming sessions, reporting back or setting goals or priorities. Boss kept it simple and it was pretty good as far as these things go. _________________ Every dead body on Mt Everest was once a highly motivated person, so maybe just calm the **** down. |

Achieved a lot today.
Finally got the new myob on both my laptop and pc, and they both work. Finally got my laptop working properly, (well ok, dell did it for me!)
The agent rang me yesterday looking to sell the house! Well he got me just at the wrong time! I'd just tracked down the new agent, and discovered my agent gave the scum suckers a reference. A good one! So yeah, he got both barrels, and more! I actually said sorry cos he's a nice guy. And then reloaded.
So him and the boss guy from the agency met me at the house, and are going to take some pics next week and call in the assessor. (My agent just wanted to submit a claim AFTER we fix the joint! Um no!) so I'm getting some help now! And after the third call and god knows how long on hold, I think the power may actually go on tonight! _________________ You cant fix stupid, turns out you cant quarantine it either!

I SO SO SO want this to be fact - and if it is happy won't cut it bloody ecstatic will be an understatement!!!!
The Professional Hunters Association of South Africa (PHASA) has claimed on their website that South African Airways (SAA) Cargo has placed an embargo on the transportation of hunting trophies (rhino, elephant, lion and tiger) on its services worldwide.
This embargo is allegedly with immediate effect and no exceptions will be made, even if the shipper has a valid permit issued by the relevant authorities.
Many South African and international conservation groups have expressed thanks to South African Airways for their apparent bold and principled decision to assist authorities to combat illegal wildlife trafficking of ivory, rhino horn, lion and tiger bones.
The illegal trafficking of wildlife products has become a multi-billion dollar industry and the airways are constantly looking for new ways to combat the illegal trade. Recently sniffer dogs have been introduced to many of the international airports in South Africa.
SAA have also put their personnel through rigorous training in order for them to be able to identify various different wildlife products.

Do it SAA!!!!! _________________ “The greatness of a nation and its moral progress can be judged by the way its animals are treated.” |

About bloody time isn't it. So good to see a lot of countries burning their stockpiles so it can't be sold, or exported.
One of the worse provinces in Vietnam will be totally free from bear bile farms as of I think it's about 15 May, the last bears are off to a sanctuary.
And with a lot of countries/states banning performing wild animal circus acts, seems humanity is having some wins. Still too late, but thank god it's coming. _________________ You cant fix stupid, turns out you cant quarantine it either! |

Got back from Hellfire pass and the River Kwai for ANZAC day (and managed to see the last 3 quarters of our game). Checked the footy tipping and I one off the pace out of 115000 and in 34 th place. And 4 in front of our comp where first prize is 1200 dollars. I am suffering physically though. We drank heaps. _________________ Annoying opposition supporters since 1967. |
