I didn't laugh ya B@stards...

Must have been booby trapped or maybe a right handed bottle...
I suspect operator error...but don't feel like the Lone Ranger.

I went to open a bottle of "sparkling lemon water" (carbonated drinking water) and the effin' thing blew out all over the kitchen...not sure how it got agitated, but I sure was while mopping up all that water.
 
The bottom-low business attitude by my wannabee-suppliers, not just today, it lingers on some time. Eg. I've been ordering some orange-peel candy for my shop, and 3rd sentence of my supplier-to-be was: How did you get to me? Then: Was that the other Pavić, owner of that restaurant, that gave you my phone number? I mean, WTF. One wants to be an entrepenuer, but 1st instict is not to sell, but to make stupid enquiries about the costumer that pays in advance??
Then - looking for some fancy boxes/bags for my bottles, and producer of cardboard stuff is all whining how he can't do this or that, insted of offering me stuff that he has in production and in storage. Eventually he comes to the reason.
Further - no-one wants to produce small jars of honey with honeycomb inside, saing it crumbles too much. Okay, so I buy 1/5 liter glass jars, started cutting the honeycomb and filling the jars. End result is great, plus I'll earn more money, but I don't have the time to do that when selling hits the high gear.
Then, the producers of fig cakes. Plenty of them are asking higher prices (~6 EUR for 200g) than what I ask in my shop, retail (4 eur).

Give me a break.
 
My brother sent this to me:

What has our new Prime Minister accomplished since being elected:

1) From his swearing-in on Nov. 4, 2015 to Feb 12, 2016, the Trudeau government distributed 208 cheques worth a combined $5.3 billion. But only $997 million was for projects inside the country. The rest — $4.3 billion — will be spent outside Canada on everything from aid for refugees to helping poor countries fight climate change.

2) Hired 2 nannies paid for by the taxpayer.

3) He and his family flew to the Caribbean for a 10 day winter vacation on a Department of National Defence Challenger jet, which cost about $10,000 per flying hour to operate but reimbursed the Canadian taxpayer only the cost of an economy air fare. Yet he could still afford to pay $2,500 US a night to stay in a 3,400-square-foot villa on the Island of Nevis.

4) He stopped the enforcement of the First Nations Financial Transparency Act (FNFTA) and restored full funding without any requirement of accountability.

5) He reinstated the Mandatory Long Form Census and the $500 fine or up to three months in prison for refusing to fill out the survey or providing false information.

6) In the rush to bring in the first phase of 25,000 refugees the government back in November had our military vacate their housing on 7 military bases and are still not allowed back. The reason? There is the possibility of more refugees moving into base housing as complaints of hotel accommodations become more frequent. Also there will be another influx of 25,000 more refugees by the end of 2016, to bring the total to 50,000.

7) His "secretive Board of Internal Economy" just gave all MP's a 20% increase in office expenses which will add an additional $57,690 for a new office budget total of $346,140 per MP and an additional $193,029 for a new office budget total of $1,158,117 for the Speaker.

8) He began discussions on decreasing the MP's workweek by 20% by dropping the Friday sitting of Parliament. The reason? To make Parliament a more family-friendly workplace.

9) He paid $32.9-million (U.S.) to maintain Canada's membership in the F-35 buyers' pool, despite his election promise to exclude the aircraft when selecting this country's next warplane. So how does he answer to that? He creates a new secretive government committee tasked with overseeing defence purchases.

10) He scrapped legislation introduced last year that allowed Canadians who held dual nationalities to be stripped of their Canadian citizenship if they were found guilty of terrorism, treason or spying offences. The first person that will benefit from this is Zakaria Amara the mastermind of the plot to bomb downtown Toronto in an effort to terrorize Canadians and cripple the economy. He will no longer be deported nor have his Canadian citizenship revoked.


Now aren't we all glad we stopped Harper.
 
Crap day at work.

My second chef who was supposed to leave on friday, has been a pain since he handed his notice in.
I have had mon and tues off so he could finish friday and have two days off before he starts his new job on monday.
So i come into work today having a large conference in for lunch and had asked him to make some of the food for them yesterday so i could have all their lunch buffet ready on time.

The food he prepared was an absolute shambles but as it was large trays of pies it was not noticable until i was cooking them just how bad they were, meaning i had no time to correct them.

The conference delegates have complained about the standard of food and wont be back, meaning we have lost vital revenue for the hotel as well as our reputation with them.

Dont know if he has done it on purpose or just didnt give a shit but the damage is done.

He came in to work at 1.30pm for work and i just dismissed him on the spot and told him to get out.

How i kept my cool i do not know, every fibre in my body wanted to do him physical harm, but i refrained as i didnt want him to have the satisfaction of seeing my fired for gross misconduct.
 

In other words you Gordon Ramsay'ed him!!!
 
Annoyed is not the word at moment....

Our cleaner, a nice lass, was stabbed six times this morning on her way to work, my work, she managed to get to us and our gaffer, which phoned the ambulance....
....latest that I've heard, is that she's stable with a punctured lung....
Needless to say, should we, or any of us, get our hands on the b*stard that did it....
 
Thats terrible mate, hope she pulls through ok !

A Life is so cheap these days
 
As it turns out gentlemen....it's something that's been going for some weeks in the area it seems, random stabbings....
.....one of the papers printed that this madman was laughing, as he stabbed her....honestly, wtf!?
 
Just found out that ABC cancelled "Of Kings and Prophets" because a bunch of pansy wimps called a realistic telling of a Bible story too sexually explicit and overly violent and unsuitable for children. H*ll, if I wanted a bed time story I'd get a "Winny the Poo" version.
