JusJoJan 19th – disseminating dissatisfaction

Thank you to John for supplying today’s prompt, complaint, and Linda G Hill for hosting this month-long annual event.

What a cool word. At first, I misread the word. My brain decided it had seen the word, compliant. All the right letters, just not quite in the same order. If I hadn’t re-read the prompt post from Linda, this post might have had quite a different theme!

I’m not big on registering complaints. Things have to have gone spectacularly wrong for me to express my dissatisfaction. Mr D, on the other hand, will let you know, in no uncertain terms, how badly you have failed to meet expectations, where you went wrong and what you can do to rectify it. I duck for cover in case I’m roped in as the support act!!

Nor do I suffer from any complaint (illness / condition). As far as I know, I’m in decent shape, all things considered (touch wood).

That said, with the way things are turning out at work (we are in full integration and migration mode as two companies become one), I may well change my tune about complaining and developing a stress-related complaint!

Aaaaand breathe!

One-liner Wednesday and JusJoJan 18th

Hooray! I had to reset the timer that switches on my decking lights… setting it to light up a good half hour later. This is how I measure the return to lighter days.

This mini-jot and almost one-liner is part of Linda G Hill’s weekly and annual blogging challenge. Click here to visit Linda, read her guidelines on taking part, and say “Hi”.
