Protocol

I did a bit of investigatin' on the web about sub protocols.
What I saw had me in whoops. Most of it was about as pretentious as all git out. Some of it was so low key and smooth, that you would never notice it. Which is, as it should be. All this kissin' of glasses/cups, etc is hooey.

You heard me, HOO-EY.

Ya, it looks showy has to make the Dom's all puff out their chests and stuff with their 'power', etc.

My druthers are simple. If I wanted first class service....I'd have them work in a 5 star hotel, work at a 5 star restaurant. Send them off to the UK to get a job at Windsor Castle. If any of you got a look at this little film from PBS, its called Windsor Castle, a Royal Year. What it does is sort of track how the castle is run day to day. You should see them put on a state dinner. They MEASURE from setting to setting, chair to table, glass to plate, etc.... Ya, if I wanted someone trained to serve me......that's what I'd do. None of this silly ass kneeling and kissing crap.

I think that is sort of why I am becoming so....dismissive of what I am seeing lately. Everyone just wants to beat on someone and there is so much more. I am fortunate that my friends know better. I'm served quietly, without fanfare, I am generous with my praise, condemntory with my silence.

I suppose I'm just going to fall over in laughter the one day I go somewhere, and I pull out a cigarette and suddenly there is woosh of sound as all these lighters blaze away..... Too funny. Do you think it would be like a concert where they used to pull out their lighters and hold them up???

I have a new thing I like to drink now. I want lemon in my ice water now. For some reason, it makes me feel so much better. For all of you read this and know my drink choices....This one is very very serious. Always keep lemons around for me.

However, I mentioned protocols.

Everyone has something different. It varies from person to person, from sex to sex. What a male would do, a female would not.

None of us can agree on one single standard.

I say it should be like this: Let it be military in structure. That would be almost taking it back to the old guard way....but since there are really none left around, it would be the new guard way.
It would be a variation of attention, rest, following, etc. For this, I'd love to pick the brain of some former officers. Failing that, I'd like to talk to some drill instructors I think.

I have in my possession, an army officer's guide from 1942. It is so un PC....I love it. It tells me very little also on just how somethings are done...it makes passing comments on how to follow, placement, one officer to another, superior or subordinate. I should talk to my neighbour about all this. He's some sort of Army guy. hmmmmmm, if I ask the right questions...who knows, maybe one day you will be able to tell a HM trained subby from the usual run of the mill ones :)
Mine will salute you :) Maybe I could do it the British way where they stomp a lot and shout!

Anyway, that enough musing about nothing. I have something else on my mind.
