On Thursday night Surrey blew their last chance of qualifying for the T20 Quarter Finals with a limp performance against Middlesex of all teams. At the time i was disappointed to miss the game because of an extended work day, the result of a meeting to discuss the "well-being" survey.
That meeting which focussed on the small "quick fixes" rather than the underlying problems may have created more frustration than it alleviated. One person in its immediate aftermath describing it as "rearranging the deckchairs on the Titanic" in that it failed to focus on the issue of workload. My immediate concern is that results were analysed based on the average score, which can conceal some serious issues. If 50 people respond to a survey 40 say they aren't harrassed at work, but ten say they are, the average minimises what for those 10 people may be a highly unsatisfactory situation that should be dealt with urgently.
I have finally finished A level exam script marking. Earlier in the week I was phoned and asked if I could take some more, reluctantly but realistically I accepted another 80. Anyway the cash will come in handy with our daughter's wedding just a couple of weeks away.
Finally a week or little news, the TV has focussed on the fugitive gunman on the loose in Nortumbria, I sense that such coverage may lead others to copy cat these "John Rambo" like escapades. It is likely to end in either the fugitive either killing himself or being shot by police, but its the type of story that the modern media like to focus upon, and if that's not enough the BBC have Paul the psychic octopus that predicts the results of football matches, for the record he thinks Spain will win on Sunday !
