...my MD has just told me that I'm his 'favourite', in front of his two marketing Managers - now whether that was because I'd just taken a fresh pot of coffee into their meeting, I couldn't say, but aww, bless him!!

Practise makes us a little better, it doesn't make us perfect.

Sounds a bit patronising to me, a bit like teachers pet, especially if it was just over a pot of coffee!
Some of us live in the past, always talking about back then. Some of us live in the future, always planning what we are going to do. And, then there are those, who neither look behind or ahead, but just enjoy the moment of right now.
Which one are you and is it how you want to be?Comment

Ah yeah, but he is the man who let me design a whole new garden for work and redesign the ladies loos, so I'll forgive him.Originally posted by Alison View Post
I did once have a female boss who actually, physically patted me on the head like I was one of her grandchildren!! Now I did object to that

Enjoy the praise however it's delivered - some places it's seldom given.A simple dude trying to grow veg. http://haywayne.blogspot.com/

Praise is always welcome, we all (well, most of us) need and thrive on it

I think I can safely say that I am the least favoured in my team, probably because I don't put up with his BS. If he told me I *was* his favourite, I'd be checking the calendar date, for April 1st!Comment

Indeed, keep that praise and live off it for a while.
You can see why though - designer and coffee when he needs it

Thank you hun, I think, generally speaking, work would be a much happier place if staff were praised more frequently, not in a sickly, rancid, high-five kind of way, but there I am thinking I'm flying along under the radar - not important enough to be noticed, but not bad, so don't warrant reprimands. So it is nice to think that the MD notices and appreciates my effort, whatever it may be, as Materials Controller, fielding his calls, making his tea, finding a restaurant that he can take a client to for a late lunch, or designer extraordinaire. I think myself very lucky to work here.Originally posted by zazen999 View PostIndeed, keep that praise and live off it for a while.

Chouchou doesnt mean double cabbage, its a slang word meaning favourite or pet.
Chouchou de prof = teachers pet
Chouchou de chef = Boss' pet.
Its always used in a nice way, not a sarcastic way, exactly the way that I used it in fact.Bob Leponge
