Alternatives to swearing like a sailor.
Dear Crew,
I found this on Graduate Fasttrack (from a social media site) and I thought that as the season has just begun, it would be a perfect time to share with you this letter.
FORGET THE SWEAR JAR:
Please note that I am a big big fan of interpersonal communication and I think that it is very important to be able to express your feelings when you talk with your fellow crew member’s.
Therefore, try adopting some of the suggested expressions below
| Instead of saying: | Try Saying: | |
| 1 | You don’t have a f***ing clue, do you? | I think you could do with more training |
| 2 | She’s a f***ing power-crazy b*tch | She’s an aggressive go-getter |
| 3 | And when the f*** do you expect me to do this? | Perhaps I can work late (again) |
| 4 | F*** off a*se-hole | I’m certain that isn’t feasible |
| 5 | Well f*** me backwards with a telegraph pole | Really? |
| 6 | Tell someone who gives a f*** | Perhaps you should check with… |
| 7 | Not my f***ing problem mate | I wasn’t involved in the project |
| 8 | What the f*** | That’s interesting |
| 9 | No f***ing change mate | I’m note sure this can be implemented within the given time scale |
| 10 | Whythe f*** didn’t you tell me that yesterday? | It will be tight, but I’ll try to schedule it in |
| 11 | He’s got his head up his f***ing a*se | He’s not familiar with the issue |
| 12 | Oi, f*** face | Excuse me, sir? |
Remember that for most you you, your summer season has just stated.
So when you are ready to throw someone over board, just remember to adopt a little mantra, to help you calm your mind and stay in the now.
My mantra was: Its just a bad day not a bad life:
Wishing you all a successful summer season and calm seas.
