He won’t go back to sleep without granddad cuddles. I’m now sat with him on the couch, cuddled in and he’s dozing off. I know it’s cheesy. But I absolutely adore these moments. Wow - a woke two year old! They’re starting younger these days! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Salad Fingers Posted May 7 Share Posted May 7 We are in the process of implementing a new system in work. We needed a lot of information to go onto it but there was guidance to say that a lot of specific information was NOT to be added right now and a decision would be made in July. I was asked if I had put the specific information on the system, to which I replied no you weren't to until the decision was made in July, I even forwarded the guidance to them. This was overruled by management and I then had to put it all on, which took at least a week. I was in a meeting yesterday and someone mentioned that a decision had not yet been made with regards to that specific information. I relayed this back to the management who are now chasing their tails wondering who they can blame. It won't be me as I managed to retrieve the email conversation where I challenged it and was overruled, which I have put on the back-burner for any subsequent meetings. All very I must say.

I spoke to one of them on the phone this morning and she was all nicey-nice. At the same time I could hear the cogs turning as she thought of a way how they can pin this one on me Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Sooperstar Posted June 4 Share Posted June 4 After a bit of a wait (not that long in the grand scheme of things but it felt like ages) and a last minute delay knocking things back by a week, finally moved house today. So that was nice. Well, the process wasn't, but the ending is. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Smithee Posted June 5 Share Posted June 5 I've had hand problems and had to give up drums last year. Yesterday I got a parcel through the door - my mate had ordered me these things that go on drum sticks that give you something to hold so I can play again. I spent a very sweet and sweaty couple of hours in the practice room yesterday, superb! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

tian447 Posted yesterday at 12:26 Share Posted yesterday at 12:26 Gave blood this morning, for the first time in over a year. Was pleasantly surprised to see how many people were also doing the same, was 5 people when I was in, and 4 more in the seating area waiting. I actually got a text to say they were looking for A+ donors because the stocks were low. You can check them out here, might be that they need what you've got : https://www.scotblood.co.uk/about-blood/current-blood-stock-levels/ Got up, had breakfast, drank a shit load of water and went to the gym, then popped in to let them steal some blood. I was in and out in 20 minutes, didn't feel faint and that's me for another couple of months Anyone who is squeamish about doing it, the needle doesn't hurt, and they'll sit and talk to you to keep you distracted. As long as you're well hydrated, you should feel fine afterward! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I ended up on a bed as I nearly passed out. Tried to give blood 3 times myself and they sent me away because I was a state before I even got near a needle. They were right in fairness as I struggle to stay conscious when I ever need to give a blood test. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Do they still give you badges when you've made certain numbers of donations? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Stuart Lyon Posted 7 hours ago Share Posted 7 hours ago I worked with a guy who's surname was Stone and would you believe he had the most difficult time giving his blood donation! Didn't put him off though! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
