Curmudgeon Posted May 22, 2022 Share Posted May 22, 2022 Anyone else finding it confusing with the conversation switching between egg dishes and work supervision? Anyway, if you want to make an omelette you have to break some eggs. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very much this, although I'll add not trying to make out that you know more than you actually do. Otherwise the line leader can easily end up with egg on their face. 6 minutes ago, Curmudgeon said: Anyone else finding it confusing with the conversation switching between egg dishes and work supervision?

Karpaty Lviv Posted May 22, 2022 Share Posted May 22, 2022 (edited) Thanks for the replies guys. Will just go on as I do and one thing I want to focus on is personally thanking them/show my gratification when they’ve had a tough shift and I see they’ve worked their arse off. I work in childcare so it happens and it can get stressful. I remember my boss doing that to me years ago at the end of a shift on a Friday and I was absolutely buzzing.

I got promoted in work two months ago, to assistant manager. It’s the first time I’ve ever been in a position where employees have looked up to me/have been my superior. I know all of them, and I’m on good terms with all of them, I just want some advice on how to go about being a superior to folk who I was on an even keel to. i know the different/expectations of the roles, and I think I have the respect of everyone. I just want to not come across as a dick if I ever have to dig the team as a whole up. Any advice? it’s taken me 7 years to get to this point and I don’t want to f**k it up. I love what I do and I take great pride in keeping everyone happy and my main mantra is making sure everyone wants to come to work with a smile on their face. Remember that your promotion is not their demotion. Your colleagues have not suddenly become less capable of doing their job. Some crap managers don't know this. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hedgecutter Posted May 22, 2022 Share Posted May 22, 2022 Watching Shearer and Wright half-jokingly slag off strikers for the golden boot winner 'only' scoring twenty something goals, would it be fair to say that it would have been far easier to bang in goals in their day when Premiership defences would have been mostly made up of second rate English defenders rather than the plethora of decent international-level players that there is just now? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obviously the game has moved on. The English top flight is pulling from a bigger pool of talented defenders but also these strikers are also being serviced by world class midfielders and the effects seem to largely cancel each other out Looking at the list of top scorers there doesn't seem to have been a significant trend over recent decades. Sometimes the golden boot winner has scored a bucketload and sometimes it's a relatively modest number Shearer got it three seasons in a row averaging 30 goals a season (1994-97) but for the following two seasons there was a 3 way tie on on just 18 goals https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_English_football_first_tier_top_scorers Mo Salah got 32 as recently as 2017/18 but it's been in the low 20s since then What is also notable is how infrequently the golden boot winner also has a league winner medal. When Arsenal's Ian Wright won it with 29 beating Spurs' Gary Lineker (28 goals) Arsenal finished 10 points behind the Champions Leeds and Spurs were only 10 clear of relegated Luton Town It's as if teams with the leagues highest goal scorer are by their nature a bit too one dimensional in attack and even quality Strikers aren't quite as important as we all tend to assume (Although you'd hardly expect Alan Shearer or Ian Wright to agree with that) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even someone who frequently shoots on sight like him (hes top of the shots league IIRC) plays a lot of supporting role stuff. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Howling. Top tip: whether hard or soft boiled, place the eggs into very cold water immediately after removing from the pan. Means the egg separates slightly from the shell, the shell is cooler, de shelling is easier and the eggs is still hot. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
19QOS19 Posted May 23, 2022 Share Posted May 23, 2022 Poaching eggs by wrapping them in clingfilm then dropping them in boiling water is a game changer. Means you never have to do the 'swirl the water with a drop of vinegar' shite again. BUT anyone who thinks that poached eggs go with avocado is a wrong 'un.How do you do that? Put the clingfilm in a bowl then crack the egg into it? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
