T...Sorry that just had too many typos - unreadable<br /><br />There are MOFs everywhere...I AM using that term ironically because I am British and it's so innate we get confused when people actually say what they mean. The MOFs come with their self-justifying ways: new systems and ways of monitoring things you haven't even heard of and they always have buckets of terminology and acronyms.<br /><br />Now if I was in charge of the MOF I might run it entirely differently and remove the irony.<br /><br />There'd be assessment on slapstick, Tom Foolery, purility and subversion for comedic effect as a starter. And diaphragm strength would be measured to monitor the amount of laughter people had engaged in.<br /><br />Anyway before I write an entire post in your comment box, I'll just say.<br /><br />WORLD OF WORK - lighten up!Molly Potterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16322262170382594290noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3193817821028926017.post-84407504185444051612010-01-14T13:28:48.549-05:002010-01-14T13:28:48.549-05:00This comment has been removed by the author.Molly Potterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16322262170382594290noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3193817821028926017.post-67011510515428138462010-01-14T12:37:51.267-05:002010-01-14T12:37:51.267-05:00I just hope your M.O.F. isn't a real MF!! ;-)
