be a better loser

wasn’t a very good loser tonight and I don’t like myself for it. What’s wrong with saying “Well played Bob. I really enjoyed our games tonight”, rather than “Okay it’s time to go home now.” God I can be a real jerk. More stuff to learn.

definitely, i wanna do it.

better at this I think.

the last 10 months I have been working in an admin role in the public utilities sector. The woman who is the manager of the section where I work has, since the start of the new year, returned to her role after a secondment. Everything I’d heard about this woman and her control of her staff by use of micromanagement techniques is now impinging on my working day, and it is a most unpleasant experience. So three weeks after getting a contract with the company itself (as opposed to an agency contract) I have decided to take the first agency job I can get in order to escape her; goodbye generous holiday allowance, sick pay, good pension (in the long run), friendly colleagues.

does Sam mean fail better? Fail more disastrously, or less disastrously?

Ever failed. No matter. Try again. Fail again. Fail better. Sam Beckett
