And Then, No Clarity...

Clear to me: Stay home but go out if you want. Or to put it another way, go out but stay home if you want. I also see I’m allowed to exercise all day. Are they nuts?

Anyhoo, a couple of days ago, folk were all over the MSM demanding more guidance relating to getting the country back to work. Last night our tussled haired leader made a statement. Today, the MSM is alive to the sound of leaders of the institute of this, the chamber for that and unions for the other, complaining about lack of clarity. 

I would’ve thought that a lack of clarity would be a blessing to any boss wanting to get at it again. How? Just treat the ‘unclear guidelines’ exactly as we down here treat the instructions to build an Ikea double wardrobe. Follow instruction one, two and three followed by eight, nine and ten thus ignoring instruction four, five, six and seven as they lack clarity, are complicated and the certain knowledge that some bits will be missing. Any business leader worth his salt will end up making money again and things can be fine tuned as they roll along just like us and our gradual sorting out and fixing of our new double wobble wardrobe.

However, if I was still in the world, doing a job somewhere down the smoke I didn’t really enjoy for a boss I didn’t like and had been ‘instructed’ to sit at home on eighty percent until such time as something or other happens, then told to get back to the grind, I’d be right out there screeching about ‘various virus safety issues’ and insisting it was waaaay too early to go back to work. But if I went back I’d get full wages again you say? That twenty percent is probably close to or even less than the cost of the gas, train and bus commute to and fro for the week.

Let’s lighten up a tad and have a laugh with this cheeky number I may have put-up before - but first, Timidadians please step away from your keyboards NOW and DON’T, under ANY circumstances, even think about doing that clicky thingy. And for those about to click – if you’re in polite company, get your headphones on.
