It helps if you bollock yourself firstAs I was on call at work, I was given a mobile. This was back in the days of analogue mobile phones ... having a mobile was a bit cool. And expensive.
A week later, I somehow lost it in the pub (the phone, not my temper) and I had to fez up to work that I'd lost it.
My manager said 'OK, we'll have a "chat" about it Monday'
Joy.
Monday comes round and he asks "So, what do you have to say about it?"
I replied "Well, it's a priviledge to have a phone, I should look after company property better, be less careless etc etc"
Having, in effect, bollocked myself and used up all the lines he could have said, all he could say was
"Err .. yes, well, be more careful in the future"
