Working on the way to London

Here we go again another week nearly over and its only Tuesday. I spent all weekend in bed feeling sorry for myself as I was due to speak at a conference I assisted in organising but on Friday Night after travelling back from Cornwall I was struck down by a cold (man flu; for all you condescending ladies out there) I spent the weekend in bed and not in a nice way either!
Finally managed to get myself together to go into work yesterday only to find out that one of my staff down in Cornwall suffered a complete breakdown and walked out on the company. No real explanation just saying that she did not ask for the responsibility and was going to spend time with her family instead. Highly questionable on both counts but young people these days complain that they do not get enough opportunity to prove themselves and when you give it to them they just roll over and cry out for help. I have decided that I will only be looking for graduates well that's not the only criteria they must have graduated before 1980 when education was exactly that teaching young people about values that they don't have a clue about. Like commitment, integrity, trust and loyalty. I know that we have to cater for the short term concentration of the young but I would like to think that some people plan for a little longer than the next release of a playstation game.
