I love search engines. How did I get from searching for edible flowers to becoming a consultant? And being a consultant has always been a fantasy of mine, though I prefer the word ombudsman, un PC though it might be. Frankly, I really prefer the title Queen of the World (in my world I'm AM the Queen, but it's a very small world).
This isn't my ego speaking, but of course it is. It's just that...I don't understand why things in the world are so confused when with just a bit of tweaking and common sense, a lot of the bumps, ridges, cravasses, potholes, anguish, hatred, and boiled over bad tasting foods could be just fine.
Take business. I've had tons of jobs, and quite a few of them temp jobs. Each time I have taken a temp job I get accused of working too fast and pissing off the regulars. Well, I have this funny idea about *work* - when you do it, do it, and then go play. But not being motivated by job security, finances or medical benefits gives me a different slant on things. I do have a great time though, which in my accounting of things makes for a right nice wealth on its own.
Also, I don't watch television and haven't for about - oh dear god - well, 30 years seems way too long but it's about that. I don't mean I NEVER see television, I just mean I don't have one so when I do see it, I'm sort of like a deer stuck in the headlights of an oncoming train, with a complete duh expression. I don't get laugh tracks, since most of what provokes them doesn't strike me as funny. And what I do think is funny, no one else is laughing about. My children say I simply do not know how to watch television. They would know. Although I cruelly kept my daughter from it until she was six. One day she asked me what country Burger King was the king OF...and I thought maybe I'd gone too far. Which is another saying of my children...Mom, you've gone too far. Well, they used to say that and then I really did go far (but not too far, really, I can get back) - we talk by phone now and it is good.
Let's say (the royal let's) you hire a new secretary. An employee calls in with some bit of info and asks it to be relayed and the secretary says it shall be done and a call will follow to confirm. Two hours pass and no call. So the worker calls back...the secretary indeed has the information required but, ALAS!!! hasn't the phone number of the worker to call back. This is stupid. Time is wasted because the secretary hasn't had the common sense to find someone with the worker's phone number. Kingdoms could fall, lives go on hold, chickens escape across the road, but. Should the secretary be fired? No. Because, while the secretary may be a bit of a dullard, it's not really the fault of the secretary. The fault goes to the TRAINER (and backward from there), who didn't make sure the secretary had a list of all workers and all phone numbers. And why didn't that happen? Because most likely the secretary was plunked at a desk after taking a PC test and left at it, hoping like hell not to make too many mistakes before figuring out what is going on with this new employment.
And as to edible flowers? I'm looking for a consultant.
