Gidday
I am out of the office for the arvo on Wed 19 May.
We have a new GM (General Manager) – David Simmons, who sits under our GGM (Group General Manager) – Bruce Parton, as seen on Campbell Live last week giving Chch bogans $1 seats to Metallica, and on top of our M (Manager) – Duane Perrott, who is currently on crutches after knee surgery and hallucinating because of the drugs they gave him for pain relief. That’s a lot of chiefs and a veritable sausage-fest. So it’s lucky I’m an Indian, although I’m the curry munching* kind not the bow and arrow kind, and lucky we have 2 chicks in the team (Jax and Tors) to balance out all that testosterone.
Anyway, Dave summonsed our team to an off-site meeting this arvo to talk about his vision and direction for grabaseat over the next 12 months, “going forward, KPIs, core competencies, matrix’s” and all that stuff. Hopefully he is interesting and good at telling jokes, but to be honest I will probably be sitting at the back doodling, thinking of nicknames for him and eating the snacks.
Dave did ask us to do some “homework” on our favourite deal sites to present to the group. I think Tors is doing something on Strawberrynet.com, not sure what Scott will do – but no doubt he’ll get an A and gold star, Jax has just got back from Fiji and is still full of Mai Tai’s so didn’t do anything, nor did Duane because he says he’s too old for the interweb. I should be preparing something now, but I think there is only one good use for the internet and am going to talk about that instead**.
If you want to find out what nicknames I have come up with for Dave you can give me a bell on 021 847 480 or you can email Dave on David.Simmons@airnz.co.nz, cause he has a blackberry.
Wicked.
