Ok so having you own business has its ups and its downs , the latest down i have discovered is not being able to blame anyone for something going wrong . In the end of the day the final responsibility falls directly on your ' the boss of all bosses ' own irresponsible shoulders .

Hence this conversation. :

Me
Lynn can you get more salad bowls from the store room .

Lynn
No i cant

Me
Any reason why not

Lynn
Only that there are none

Me
Oh ?
And the reason that there are none

Lynn
You didn't order any .

Me
Why not

Lynn
You were all flustered and moody on monday , i think cause you got stranded in london on sunday .

Me
Ahh .
So what are we going to tell the salad eaters today .

Lynn
I don't know , you could maybe ask them as they arrive , maybe they would like soup or they could just take the salad and place it between two slices of bread , or a roll .

Me
like a sandwich you mean ,,,,funny . Being the owner of a sandwich franchise that thought had escaped me .

Lynn
what are you going to do ?

Me
I don't know , can i not blame you for this ?

Lynn
Absolutely not , its not my job is it .

Me
Can i pay you more money maybe , and then have a go at you . I don't know add'stock manager 'to your title or something , or maybe even ' blame taker ' , that would be rather useful .

Lynn
Would i then have to take the blame for everything that goes wrong in your life ?

Me
Of course .

Lynn
The soup needs stirring , i need to stir it .

Me
I take it thats a no then ?

Lynn
Sorry did you say something.

Me
Nevermind
