When I started concocting this posting, earlier in the week, I was watching a TV show about dogs behaving badly, called, if I remember it right, “Dogs Behaving Badly”. (Very), it turns out. Things like bribing them with dog-sweets to stop them misbehaving, which turned out to mean you are rewarding them with dog-sweets for misbehaving. Guess what the dogs continued to do. Until the English version of the Dog Whisperer started working his dog-magic.
While watching that, I was rootling through tweets I’ve been saving, to see if any were deserving of the immortality that comes with being mentioned here at BMNB.
These ones seemed good, and they chimed in rather nicely with that dog show I was also one-third-attending to.
Clarissa:
Currently experiencing the usual reward for demonstrating competence at work. …
Graeme:
More work?
Clarissa:
Bingo.
Graeme:
Well I hope you learned from your mistake!
Well, Clarissa is not a dog, so maybe not. Maybe she was rewarded for the more work that she did. But if not …
Hey, what with all this Coronavirus disruption, maybe Clarissa has managed to hang on to her job.
