sounds like the advice came too late if you are watching him get ready in the morning (morning after regrets?)

"if you feed it, it will grow" sounds trite, but very useful to have in the back of your mind when there are bad office politics/relations/and a whole load a whinging going on, or for that matter any negative stuff that you keep coming back to in your head and niggling away at.


"if you feed it, it will grow" also for the good aspects of your life... and I don't mean your belly


I think routes of the phase come from Buddhist philosophy... or so I was told

My slim and rather slender workmate Stephen M. stayed at my South London Flat one night after a drinking session after work and we slept in my double bed.


He was straight but teased me about "how do you know you won't like something unless you try it!", trying to imply that he batted for the other side so I "tested" him. I crept out of bed and got a 10 inch Bamboo Stick,that I just brought back from Majorca, smuggled it into the bed and when his back was turned I shoved it right up his jaxie and boy! did he run and run:)) finally locking himself in the loo....


He never gave me that advice again, for some reasonB)

I think Charlie explained quite well what she meant. If you give energy and time to negative things in your life - be they thoughts; enemies; bitchiness... all manner of negative things, then things will just get worse. Instead, observe what's happening and how you are feeling and then just put them to one side.... just let go. And eventually they will lose their hold over you.


Easy, innit?

Very good explanation BB.


I think I was sidetracked by growth in other areas by a comment my girlfriend made, at the time.


That will teach me to focus...:)

Presumably this works in reverse.


Next time( one can only hope) that an attractive Lady grabs my head firmly on each side and pulls me "Down South" I shall fend her off and punch her, squarely, in the face.


Thanks for the advice.

You might end up arrested but good luck

Thanks Bellenden Belle... you write a quick post before dashing off to work, thinking... "anyone could get that one" and all manner of confusion sets in... thanks goodness for the clear analysis from you BB. Easy, innit!!:)

    • It’s not great, but this only happens when a business is in trouble and is facing bankruptcy. The landlords are free to say no. The restructuring will often then have to be approved by a High Court judge, so it’s not a total gun-to-the head. It does upset landlords quite a bit though, because if the business does go under, they’ll likely not see any pay out. So they often feel under pressure to comply. 
    • "Sitting around doing job related things". Do you mean sitting and doing their jobs? "have you had your COVID jabs?" Perhaps instead of spending your time on here insulting other posters, in this case me, you would be more effectively employed contacting the practice management with a detailed description of exactly what you say you saw and when. And then see what they say. You have made a lot of assumptions with presumably absolutely no idea what those people's jobs are or when their break times are. I am not defending the practice, which seems to have some problems  I just don't like seeing people who aren't here to defend themselves being publicly attacked by someone who apparently doesn't actually know what those people were doing and why.
    • Relatively recently, they employed a couple of young people on front desk work they were excellent. I don’t know if they’re still there. And yes, they may be doing something on their computers that’s important but when you see  people queuing and no one appearing for many minutes the system seems inefficient.  Some simple changes could make a big difference.  But those changes would have to come from management rather than individual workers choosing to jump up and help. 
    • I'm happy not seeing a GP face to face.  I had WhatsApp video appointments a couple of years ago,which ended up with me being rightly sent to Tommies A and E.  I see nurses from time to time at TJ, I always have a good laugh with both them and the blood test people.  I see the practice nurse at FH from time to time and it feels like visiting an old friend. I'm not sure whether social media has made us a more negative nation, or it just feels this way due to some of you who post on this forum.  The majority of posts in ED matters and on the transport thread are complaints  How would you define lazy and useless?  There is a spectrum of productivity, and of customer service.  Some excel at one or both, but I'm not sure at what point workers drop below an acceptable level.  When I am unhappy I will complain to an organisation. Some respond better than others.  One of my first posts over a decade was to complain about a local shop.  It's a funny anecdote which is essentially a "Ok you don't want my money so I'll go and spend many 100s of pounds at a different company" but I regret not dealing directly with the shop rather than getting pointless revenge many years later.  Still won't use the shop though.
