well, I don't feel great about it but at the sametime I don't feel bad. If you are wondering what I mean, I am talking about making toast on a monday morning and not the bread kind. I had to "terminate" someone this morning for not acting like they enjoyed their work. I would admit that the position involved mind numbing meetings, creating complicated dull presentations and herding a series of client cats in Europe. Work is a bit of theatre and these days, not playing your part means getting cut. It was pleasing and touching that the rest of the team were fully behind my decision and also felt that the toast in question was not playing their part ... I am reminded of the saying "All the world's a stage and we are but players" . Certainly true today ...
personally, I am worried about getting fat ... I have a black tie event tomorrow night and when I tried on my gorgeous very expensive Hugo Boss tuxedo, I risked shifting my internal organs trying to button up. As I am buttoned up enough these days, having the trousers "taken out" seemed an eminently clever idea, but having the time to find a decent seamtress to "take them out" (I love this expression and it reminds me of my mother who was a very good seamtress) and not being sure they would be ready on time, I accepted defeat and ran to Marks & Spencer and bought new trousers with a bigger waist (the shame - now 36) for the amazing price of £29! I was secretly pleased that there were not many of the new size I need, which led me to believe that I am not alone in the expanding waist from 34 to 36 journey. Please god, no-one looks at my trousers tomorrow night ......
