Happiness at work

I had the pleasure of introducing the irrepressible Alexander Kjerulf to the Irish masses yesterday when we did a joint interview on Dublin's Q102 on the subject of happiness at work. Click on Alex's head to hear the piece.

So, let me get this straight - I'm the Insultant, and he gets to be the Chief Happiness Officer? After 10 minutes in Alex's company, I suddenly feel like the love-child of Ebenezer Scrooge and the Grinch ...

Deadly combination around the holidays. Cheer up! ;-)

Hope you are doing well Rowan. We're in the midst of a holiday weekend over here. DF

"the love-child of Ebenezer Scrooge and the Grinch"

That one had me laughing out loud!

... but wouldn't that be more of a hate-child?

In any case it was a blast to be on the show with you! Any time the Irish listeners need some happines, you just call me :o)

Who's responsible for these names anyway? :) Hmm, the Insultant is not that bad really. Think about it. It's still a powerful name. Kinda sounds like the Chief Happiness Officer's ultimate rival or something like that.

brilliant interview! I especially like the part about tall tails being told by parties both side of the interview re: walking on water, quite silly when obviously only i am able to do that.

Would make a good script for a Batman film!

I suppose instead you could call yourself the Ensaltant and randomly help people to salt, causing fluid retention and swollen ankles, thus inhibiting their ability to run indignantly after you. Just for a change.

Great comments all guys'n'gals! Thank you so much.

Yes, I've decided it's no more Mr Nice Guy. I'm going to become Alex's nemesisis ... or something. Damn, that's hard to spell!

"Wherever happiness lurks, I'll be there. Able to leap tall lattes in a single bound. Rebuffs gales of laughter with his Shield of Imperviousnessness ... or something. Damn! Damn! Damn! Foiled by bad grammar!"
