Before you fly...

And here's another one for the night:

People should realise that before they can fly, they need to learn how to walk. Unaided. Without tripping and falling over.

It is just amazing how many young people (and that would be anyone with the maturity of a 6 year old) think that just cos they have done somethings, it is beneath them to do anything else. And they whinge and whine about having to do "secretarial" type work, when somebody else could do it and they oversee it.

Now here's the clincher kays? I would perfectly agree with such thoughts if.. and ONLY IF you have done that job so well that it's mistake free. Then, and ONLY THEN can you be qualified to oversee the work of someone else doing it. When you take forever to do the task assigned, and send it back riddled with so many bullet holes - trust me my young man - you ain't ready to be given any prominent position of power.

Ain't it funny... how people think that just cos they wear a tie and long-sleeved shirt to work, they are worthy of being called a manager?

Me? I'm having my first waitressing position at the age of 32-going-on-33 during normal working hours and pushing papers at half to 11 at night.

Now that's called learning to walk before you fly - no matter how old you are!
