Entertaining Jnr

Hello reader

I have Harry Jnr here this week, as he gets older it's getting harder to find stuff to entertain him, he's a little big for the Wacky Warehouse these days... thank god for Xbox.

I was reading over some old posts and there is quite a few things to update you on, the first thing I thought I'd tackle was the break-in at the local, back in January 2008.

If you recall, it had been broken into, the safe had been left open and large sum of money stolen. The manager was suspended and a meeting called. I had gotten a little irate, and as a result had been suspended for 12 months. So, what happened next?

The manager had been suspended but was let off without so much as a warning. The secretary (the boss) then resigned without giving a reason. It seemed cut and dried to us, the manager had left the safe open, gross misconduct, but for some reason it didn't happen, he got off while the person who was supposed to make him accountable resigned? Very fishy.

I did my 12 months suspension, went back in January 2009 and by April was assistant secretary (2nd in charge). By September I was secretary, no.1, numero uno. In year 1 I took the place from a £150k annual loss to an £11k profit, in year 2 we broke even.
It was hard work with a full time job as well as spending every night plus weekend days in there too, so in June 2011 I stepped down, happy that I'd helped stabilize the place.

I'm still in the local most week nights, and it was a struggle not to open my mouth when I see stupid business decisions being made, but I'm over that now, happy just to stand at the end of the bar and put the world to rights.

I've started to drink somewhere else on a Friday night, in another part of the city. And I've met someone I'd quite like to get to know better. And Miss Harriet Hard-on doesn't know. But that's a story for a rainy day...
