Overheard at the Office

Last week I was called into my boss's office. I'll refer to that person as FoA (Figure of Authority).

As I walked in, the first thing I noticed was a large framed motivational poster hanging on the wall above FoA's desk. It said: DISCIPLINE. It's in you to give. Well, maybe it didn't say exactly that, but that's how I remember it.

FoA wanted to discuss a problem to do with a project I was working on. Certain members of the team were not cooperating.

"I'll speak to their manager and then we'll have to get out the stick," declared FoA. Yikes! Was FoA a spanko? We? Was the other manager one too? Or would I be given a stick to use? My mind reeled.

I managed to stammer, "Um, oh, right, the carrot and the stick."

"No, forget the carrot.We'll go with just the stick."
That was spanko speak alright. But not exactly an example of good management technique.

One reader was concerned that Ron might not like my offering one of his paddles to someone else. Trust me, he has plenty of others! And then there was the question of how to actually let you sample it.

I'm giving the prize to A bratting of subs.

But for participating, I'm awarding you all six swats with the implement you own that most resembles this paddle.

Thank you all for playing.
