Why chewing gum should be banned

Or what Aud is willing to do in her new job!

Hullo - Aud here! I have been working in my new job for over six weeks now and it is going really well – I am valued, I am busy but not stretched, it is interesting and it pays the bills.

The company undertakes executive coaching to help align people with their company, and also with themselves and as part of my job training I am actually getting free coaching done too! It's amazing how we finish school and then that’s it – no one (or hardly anyone) asks the question - what do you like, what are you interested in, where are you going and what’s stopping you from getting there and what would you really like to do with your life (all with business objectives in mind but your personal life is such a part of it, it all links together in the process).

Now, as much as I respect my new boss – Gerry and am enjoying the job (in a lovely office but alas with no windows WTF!!) the oddest new request today was to try to get chewing gum off the bum of his trousers, while he was still wearing them.

Poor bloke had sat down on chewing gum on the train, and having a series of meetings today, just couldn’t do it himself.

So picture me picking gum off my Bosses bottom.

I am sure everyone walking past was wondering about the nature of our relationship but I can assure you it was all very strange and very much not the norm.

So please, a special request - could we get a special tazer gun to shoot all those idiots who not only chew gum but put it on train seats for us to deal with……
