kennys party 071, originally uploaded by BagRat.

Kenny reached the grand old age of 50 last week along with Andy reaching the 40 mark, so they had a joint party to celebrate and used the oppurtunity to get everyone back togeather again.

It was good to see all the faces from the partys togeather again having a laugh and just generally getting on, party kicked off at of all places Stretford Cricket Club, then moved onto Lisa’s flat, where drinks flowed and people talked bollox (mainly due to what they’d had).

We left fairly early on in the morning 5:00am so maybe not so early, but the party carried on after we left, ending only when John, Ben and a few others decided to place most of Lisa food stuffs in the freezer . . . oh and after Ben had emptied a full bag of flour over the sleeping Lisa’s head (not nice Ben).

Gotta say Kenny was looking good for an old man and no doubt has many years left in him, all the best Kenny and Andy

Well it’s that time of year when our manager pulls us aside for a little chat about how much we’re worth to the company.

Well it seems I’m worth a small bonus and a slight increase, but not the increase I would have liked, anyway a few of us have raised this question with our Manager and are hoping she’ll be chatting with our MD about it, though to be honest I don’t think he’ll pay the slightest bit of notice to her, as he’s already told her to tell us that we aren’t getting an increase because he’s trying to get everyone’s wages in line with each other so we’re all on the same amount, but didn’t he tell her to tell us that very same speech last year and didn’t we all say to each other we hadn’t had a pay increase, so how can it be that if none of us got a pay increase, how can we ever be on the same pay level.

Makes you suspicious of your colleagues when they all say the same thing, it’s none of my business what my colleagues earn, but when your all supposedly told the same thing it makes you wonder who’s lying to you about what your Managers said to them, again it’s none of my business, but why get a manager to tell them that if you don’t want them to tell there fellow workers.

Anyway slight pay increase and a bonus better then a kick in the teeth I suppose.
