Going to have a rant, and I don't care who knows it!
I have spent ALL DAY at a conference with no content. Freakin' charlatans wasting my time and getting paid shed loads of money for it. And the last session was some kind of "motivational" stuff led by a guy whose qualifications for telling ME to feel good about myself were that he was once a member of the BRITISH INTERNATIONAL SKI-ING team :rolleyes:

Well, he's certainly the lucky one... :rolleyes: :p
No doubt everyone who meets him, really cares about that particular fact.

Well it seems to have got him the job:angry:

I'm raging!

We got something similar - this guy came in, told us he used to coach the Scottish junior golf/football teams. Then he taught us to meditate - someone farted at the 'relaxation'...

The question is, if he's coached them, why isn't he doing it now?

Yeah, and what's the more rewarding job again, motivational coach or 'Member Of The British International Ski-ing Team!'? :confused: :rolleyes:
Obviously, he has to be a terrible ski-ier... :p ;)

Because he gets more money this way? Con artists :mad:

Greg it might interest you to know that this frickin' nonsense was organised by the Scottish Executive

What was it Mr Barnum said about the relationship between the passage of time and the birth of suckers?

What/Who is the Scottish Executive?

It is the executive arm of the so called Scottish Parliament. Glorified parish council trying to look busy :angry:

Bye Greg

Aside from the ski-er, we were addressed by the "Principal of the School of Emotional Literacy", no less. She thinks self esteem is a good idea :rolleyes:

I have to say, I've never seen you so...passionate about something before. Is a worthless conferance all it takes to get your blood pumping? :confused: :speech:

Fiona,

You must not be paying enough attention, because you're obviously not motivated. Maybe private sessions with him would help. :p

Yeah, those seminars are usually a load of ... Hopefully it gets better in the afternoon.

(BTW, morning all)

@ Magrus. My work matters to me and they wasted my time; insulted my intelligence; and smuggled in their right wing agenda, as usual.
it is not about resources; it is about resourcefulness
@ Darzog. Thankfully it is evening here.
