But large doesn’t fit me

She said “I’ve a problem, I’ve done something stupid.”
Yas: “So why are you here, leave my office take your problem elsewhere”

I was joking, I’m approached at work with similar opening lines all the time. Its my department which ends up cleaning up the mess from other departments. Luckily in this instance the problem turned out to be far easier.

The lady from the quality control department had received some ladies belts. She had tried them on. Starting with the smallest obviously. But was surprised when size large didn’t fit her. So she had sent a sample of the belts off to the technical department. Normally my department would be informed of this but on this occasion she had not done.

Anyway she was telling me the story of how she tried putting on size large and it didn’t fit! what crossed my mind was well maybe you need an extra large. Obviously once the words ‘extra’ and ‘large’ crossed my mind I knew in this instance I need to keep my mouth shut no matter what happens. It was one of those volatile situations whereby speaking the wrong word no matter how remotely related or unrelated it is will cause a reaction which would have left her feeling bad. Women and sensitive go hand in hand like red leather and gloves.

She finished off by letting me know the technical department had found no faults and that the size was correct. Then she said well either the size is small on these belts or I’m just fat and I’m now going to go and cry.

Please not in my office I thought. Leave the belts here and I will get them to the right waist, I mean place!

I was going to work this morning and like every other Friday there tends to be less traffic so I set off a little later than normal. As I know I can get there on time. On my way I pass a stretch of country side and since this area ia pretty high up you get to see a lovely panoramic of all the hills around and the small little building dotted around.

In the mornings specially when the weather is a little foggy a mist covers part of the landscape. It really is quite a beautiful site in the mornings. I can imagine its probably under appreciated as everyone else like myself is only there as they are driving to a destination and at that time in the morning likely to be work.

I’ve noticed the weather can create some wonderful scenery and completely change the surroundings or at least let you see it in a different light. This morning was rather special.

The night before had been very cold and in the morning as its becoming light I was driving along and when I came to the main road I noticed an amazing skyline which I must admit I have never witnessed before. The sun appeared to be rising but it was not visible. The sky was full of lots of small little ripple like clouds that were giving the sky a textured look not much unlike the earth surface if we were to look down on it. What was truly amazing was the colour of the sky. It was an immense golden orange colour which was filling the whole sky with its hue.

I have seen some truly post card style scenery along this route but today the golden orange sky added colour even to the clouds and I was in awe by how impressive the sky looked. So much in fact I felt like parking up on the side of the road to take a picture.

I couldn’t stop and take a picture as I had set off late, also I knew that the sky would only stay like this for some minutes only. So I include a picture at the top which is also quite impressive. Its been awhile since the weather has made me feel like ‘wow how amazing’.
