the biggest pain in the arse about this job is that there are two 'bosses'; the main partner who is supposedly silent and the junior partner who is supposed to be running the store. the problem is that the junior partner defers to the senior partner; and his problem is that he treats this business as a hobby. he usually races horses but is in a bit of a hiatus at the moment. so he spends all his time coming up with ideas that are a throwback to the 'good old days'.
the problem with the good old days is that they were never that good.
the latest issue that has come between us is the issue of the number of staff i need and who should be the one to pick them. i like to recruit from within the organization if at all possible; the culture shock tends to be reduced for a start. plus it helps to be able to talk to your colleagues about the person. failing that i like to conduct two interviews with the candidates and wait for the right person for the job. in the long run it reduces work but it does mean some sacrifice.
i think i need two more staff. they think one will do. we're talking about casuals so it's not like it's going to cost them more- we need a better spread of hours than we have at the moment. so poisoned has this issue become that they have vetoed every selection i have made; and now they're trying to appoint a person. i actually don't mind this person- well i shouldn't because i had asked for him several months ago. but there's a principle at stake now and i know if i compromise on this then my department is going to become a dumping ground. so it's weapons of choice at ten metres.
what prompted this was the fact that the casual we do have is working longer and earning more than my 2ic. so the partners decided that i needed another staff member and that i needed to work out a roster, etc. where it broke down was in the fact that every staff member these guys have recruited for me, whether in this store or the last one i worked at for them, has been an absolute dud. you would not believe that, with their track record at recruiting, that these guys would think that they know what they are doing but they do.
the real problem is that i have very high standards and rather than compromise my standards i would rather get rid of the staff. from the business side of things this has made me a hero; from the personnel side of things i think my nickname says it all- chop-chop. except that if you talk to my staff they will tell you what a great boss i am. perception versus reality.
i am not a very demonstrative person. i rarely find something to get excited about and my job is certainly not one of those things. i am very good at it, but by dint of professionalism rather than any genuine passion for the job. lately i have noticed i have been making it harder on purpose just to keep it challenging. stripped back to its basics and it is same old same old. there are only so many apples anyone should have to stack in their lifetime. but then i know a guy who has been doing this twice as long as i have and he is still excited to be going to work every morning for the chance to stack apples. when we get a good result or there is a new line to promote my response is with a professional eye; and it is that professional eye i am looking for in others. these guys want the person who does handstands and high fives. i think that a professional detachment is important because it produces a standard that can be measured and improved. whenever i come across these high-fivers i generally find that the reason is not because the result was truly exceptional, but that it was better than what had come to be expected. far better to be known as BP- the quiet achiever than be viewed as the clown. and if that means i carry the chop-chop tag as well; so be it.
we have a friend staying with us for the next few days- it should be interesting because he has been in the house barely two hours and she has already given him a blow job. i've taken to jokingly calling her the five minute slut- she plans to make a t-shirt of it.

if you live in Perth and were curious which fruit and vege lines will be short in the next few days; tomatoes, capsicums, cauliflower, strawberries and grapes. that's at the markets- retailers will of course vary.
the funny thing about working in fruit and vege is that after a few years- no matter how much you like the stuff to begin with- you stop eating it. i wouldn't now eat a quarter of what i used to eat when i first started and i don't know too many people in the industry who do. at the retailer of the year awards you could pick the f&v workers by the amount of the stuff left on their plates.
i don't see it as being common in other areas, but i imagine it is the same. i was listening to the radio a few days back and the guy talking said when you go into a car yard look at the staff cars- pick what they have bought because they know which is the best buy- and because most work on some form of commission they will have the most economical car too. made a lot of sense but it isn't something i think about.
the wife has taken to buying my porn for me. she made the decision earlier this year and at first she was a little embarrassed about buying it. now i find she is buying more than i ever would have myself. i recently read a little tittle that said over 1 in 3 visitors to porn sites are female and that nearly half of customers for sex shops are female. i wonder how many of them are buying for their partners? and if so are they like mine- they give you the porn three days after they have bought it. her latest one is to tell me all about what she has bought and then tell me it is too good for me and she'll have to buy me some more.
she is off now on her third trip this month- i still don't have any porn yet. perhaps it's time for her to admit she isn't buying it for me anymore.  ?*

Of all the things i thought that she would be upset about once she started visiting people, the fact that she gets very wet would have been the last one i would have chosen. i think that most people prefer a very wet woman, even if only for the delusion of their own prowess in such matters. i eventually told her it meant that all those big cocks she has been getting made her wetness perfect- she was her own lube bottle.
my greatest concern is her ability to impress. i read a lot of the testimonials on the profiles and you can detect patterns. when one partner is a dud but the other is smoking hot good and you want them again it will mention the dud by saying at the very end "s/he was good too." i have this nightmare scenario of dozens of testimonials all ending with "he was good too." so if you do find me a dud- please preserve my psyche and say nothing- that would be better than my nightmare (i think)
maz bought herself a webcam today. well i picked it out and installed it but she wanted to say she did something so she took my wallet and paid for it. i had bought an external hard drive and was installing that while i was installing some stuff for her. i had in fact finished hers and had gone to check on the status of my hard drive when i heard her bashing around in the bedroom- then bashing around in the computer room. suddenly she calls and i go in to find she has knocked the web cam over in the process of using her dildo. yes, within a few minutes she was having her very first cyber sex. so i stood there holding the camera while she did the business. bravo say i.
driving around Huntingdale tonight, heading back from meeting another couple, we came across the Xmas lights on people's houses. leaving aside the environmental impact of such things, i was appalled at the road habits of my fellow drivers as they slowed and swerved all across the road to view each tiny light. HELLO! they know you're looking- pull over and look so people can get past. the worst one was the guy who slammed on his brakes to see one set of lights and then drove at 40k's an hour to the corner while dialling his phone to tell his friends/ family how good it looked. i am impressed by the dedication of the people who create the light scapes (and for mine the best so far is in Maddington on Westfield Street) but there really needs to be an ettiquete in place to look at these things before somebody gets beaten to death with a plastic santa.
as a sidenote- where is Jesus? i am not a Christian but i would like to see some sort of acknowledgement that this is a bit more than a festival of shop til you drop.

So here i go on something i have always wanted to try- the blog. I apologise if it seems a bit facile at times but i am a creature of whimsy as much as the next person.
First things first- the title is not a mistake- the word exists.
I am that mythical beast who actually does get excited my woman is having sex with others without the expectation or sometimes even the desire to join in. so far i seem to be a minority of one- judging from some people's reactions to my wife i gather i do not exist.
what is it that arouses me so? i can not say for i do not know- only that it does. the most recent of my musings is that it is because i am married, and thus have some 'ownership', of a person desired by others. this is a form of greed- you can share in it but you can not possess it in the way that i do. i suppose it can be likened to the people who brag about the ownership of fast cars and let you take it for a spin. the problem with that scenario is that your car is not likely to develop feelings for a new driver. though i have noticed when i drive somebody else's car i seem to be able to get more out of it than the owner can- perhaps because i do not care for it as much as they do.
it makes it sound as if i do not love my wife; i love her deeply but i also love that she can't seem to keep her knickers on- when she does choose to wear them. last night she went to one guy's place commando arguing that they wouldn't be on for long anyway.
of course the biggest problem is getting her to remember to take some pictures of what she gets up to. as much as i love the way she goes about things i would love to see the odd photo. so if any of you good people end up with her, please remind her to take a photo.
well that is my thought for the day. we'll see if i get better tomorrow.
