I've just seen the latest candidate, skinny jeans and a pair of mince trotters!

WTF, I'd go suited and booted to an interview as a bin man, am I just out of touch?
Yes, you are out of touch.

But so are 95% of MDs and FDs, so going suited and booted seems like a good strategy.

Same, but it's been 25+ years since I had to worry about it, so I'm probs just out of touch as youz.

Worked last night, we found a major cock up on safety paperwork, basically two people had the same version of a document but they had different safety information on them!🤬. Now being investigated at Senior level.

Slept badly this morning as I was sleeping "Petris" with the dogs.

Dog walk in a minute and then off to LBS to collect wheel after it was repaired/re-bearing-ed.

Argued with my mates coffee set up this morning -

Overfilled the coffee-holder-thingy from the coffee grinder thingy
Couldn't get the coffee-holder-thingy onto the machine for freaking ages

This is a short list but it took a LONG time - far too long before a first coffee on a morning of what is likely to be a slightly stressy day off!!!!


Then, after feeding one of the cats (haven't seen the other since it came and jumped on the bed at 6am being everso friendly for the first time ever as a demand for food - which I ignored :1 :1 ) I tried for a second coffee :roll:

Over filled the the coffee-holder-thingy again but got it on the machine without too much argument this time!!
Pushed button to 'wake up' machine
Buttons flashed for a long time - they are supposed to stop flashing when it's ready
Buttons still flashing
Turns out the machine is not 'ready' if the water tank is only half full - FFS :angry-cussingblack:

Making coffee in the morning should not be this difficult!!!


Machines are pretty tho - I'll have worked all this out by the end of the ten days :1

FOUND MY PURSE !!!!!!!!

It had fallen under the only moveable thing in my apartment that it could have fallen under :roll: But Thank fck cos had I lost it there would have been no sunbathing today :(

As it was, the sunbathing was reduced to a little bit this afternoon and when the clouds had started to appear :( :(.

Still, it was lovely to do cos I rarely if ever sunbathe - my skin thinks I'm ginger :flame:

Can you come and find my spare bike key?

It spent weeks in a pocket of a leather jacket. Then I took it out and put it somewhere safe. I have no idea where, and I have searched all the obviou places and most of the non-obvious ones too.

Woke up in a location about a longbow's arrow flight from the Major Oak and a hop, skip and a jump from a church that claims to be where Robin Hood and Maid Marian got married.

(It's also where I slept....I haven't done a record breaking sleep walk :lol: )
