progress

In all my  years working with the "idiots?" we have run two order books. One for the commercial orders and one  for the domestic. Up until the  present time this system has worked quite well. Yes I agree it's not perfect. Certain fellow co.workers "idiots?" don't remember to write the order in the book. The same fellow co. workers don't remember to tick the order when they make it even if they do remember to write it in the book. But hey ho that's the way it is. NOW it's all about to change, our order system is going computerised. Some of us have embraced this change as inevitable progress. Some of my fellow co. workers are trying to resist the change by putting obstacles in the way. In the middle of the week last week we were trying to iron out a few wrinkles.  A fellow co. worker tried a few blocking tack ticks to slow progress. AND THEN "PUFF" the end of the tether was reached by husband boss "idiot?" as he's the person who has spent hours and hours working on  the new ordering system. He lost the plot completely and said to the fellow co. worker in question "Listen you're between  sixty five and sixty seven you're nearly dead so what's it go to  do with you!" I WAS LOST FOR WORDS. I've  got the reputation for being out spoken and he took the biscuit. The rest of the "idiots?" looked on in stunned silence.
