The magic of banter

For anyone who does not know the meaning of "banter", let me take a minute to explain. Banter is a wonderful thing. To put it in it's simplest of terms, banter represents extreme sarcasm and constant jokes. It really is a great thing. The reason why I am writing about this is because the staff of Jersey United Soccer is basically run by banter. I'm not saying this is a bad thing because, in fact, it is a very good thing. Allow me to elaborate...

I spend most of my afternoons working in the office, assisting my very annoying supervisor Sean Davies (only joking Sean...actually, no, I'm not joking). You see. That was a very good example of banter. As you can well imagine then, there is rarely a dull day in the office. I reckon all the constant banter between the staff keeps up spirits and, hence, improves company results. No, really. I'm thinking of going into Management Consultancy and just informing organizations to introduce banter into the workplace in order to improve performance. I'll probably make a lot of money from it but I'm not going to leave Jersey United simply because the banter is too good to turn away. It really is!

My interview for this job was conducted by Martin Brown (boss man) and Sean Davies (annoying supervisor). Not once during the interview did I get an inclination of any banter. To be honest, I thought they were rather dull (oh, that's it, got the sack). Wow, the banter is really flying at the moment! I remember walking into the office the first day and the infamous Lee Pollard asking me "How's the weather up there?". My thought straight away was: this is where I belong.

I've said it once and I'll say it again, banter is a wonderful thing and long may it continue within the realms of the Jersey United office. It's the place to be. 'Till next time.
