I am annoyed about the lack of sugar in the house.

[McGuinness-89]

Buy sugar.

[The Deadly]

There's no chance of that. Should have been bought yesterday when her at home did the shopping. I'll leave an angry note on the fridge.

[chrysostom]

Is she annoyed about the lack of a courteous man about the house? I'd watch out for that note.

[The Deadly]

Well it's been ok for the past 12 years so I guess she can't be that annoyed.
I intended to use fridge magnet letters for my note but I don't have the letter S which is a slight problem.

Buy her some flowers, cook her a nice meal and light some candles, that works for me!

[The Deadly]

It's caveman to expect sugar to be there when it's written down on a shopping list and my money is paying for the shopping? Don't know what planet you live on but it's not earth.

[The Deadly]

Sexist.

[DevilsDuck]

my money

God help you if she reads that!

[The Deadly]

my money

God help you if she reads that!

I'm safe here. She has no idea somewhere like this exists.

[DevilsDuck]

So you don't have Internet access in the kitchen!

*runs for cover*

[The Deadly]

I would like to distance myself from the comment above and say her chain does reach to other areas of the home, not just the kitchen.

Gotta love women.

Or 'versatile * dumping units' as I like to call them.

THREAD OVERBOARD!!!

[DevilsDuck]

There's always one... And it's always badger!

[chrysostom]

I thought Badger was parodying the sexism. Seems I credit him too much.

[Nicola_Red]

Parody or not, that's a bit close to the line! Tone it down a bit please Badger. Thankyou

What's annoying me today? This long running debacle about a song being played before 7a.m.
Get over it, Get used to it. End of my opinion on the matter.

[SAV1OUR]

Refreshing opinion there.

We've had it good for so many years, let's just see how this thing plays out cos change is now afoot.

Nothing ever lasts forever..

Wether he likes what we are saying or not, I know Al values the feedback on the show he gets from this site as an insight into the audience. If, the more maniacal side of that audience... We are merely voicing an opinion.

Get over it, Get used to it. End of my opinion on your opinion.

Almost got run over earlier because someone jumped a red light as I was crossing. I did check but they started moving as I started moving away from the kerb. Sure it was on the green man as well. Haven't been scared like that for a while.

[The Deadly]

I missed a very special event in town today due to being called into work. Toby Anstis was hosting a special live Ready, Steady, Cook and signing autographs afterwards. I miss all the good stuff!

[Yudster]

Anyway, annoying me today is a dilemma. Actually it isn't the dilemma that's annoying me, its the fact that if anyone else on here had the same dilemma, I would know exactly what to suggest. And I would be right, but for some reason I can't apply my own advice to myself.

Here it is - a promotion opportunity has opened up at work. The person who the role reports directly to has made it clear that she wants me to apply. The person that I would be line managing has called me to say that he would be very happy if I was given that role, and offered to meet with me to go over anything I might find helpful. The job itself however would be a MASSIVE challenge, and a long way out of my comfort zone in terms of the type of work and the environment. But it would be a hell of a challenge and I think I would like it. Also, even though I have been given all this encouragement, I would still have to interview for the position with no advantage over any other candidates - and I * HATE applying for jobs.

See I KNOW what to do. Why can't I just decide to do it?

Had a chat with my HR Officer this morning (that sounds too much like Parole Officer...). She had some excellent advice, clarified my muddled and ambivalent thoughts considerably. Result - I am not going to apply for this position. I know I know, shut up. I have other plans. One of the things she said was that knowing I wanted to make a move forward was one thing, but it was important to be clearer than I am about which route I want to take. She's given me some excellent advice which I shall be following, and a heads up on a Space to Watch.

Happy now.

Well if you've got the potential to advance your role, and you're looking to do it in a different way, then there's nothing wrong with that.

I'm starting to panic about my interview on Wednesday. My work here has slipped so far away from what I should/what I want to be doing, that I'm worrying that I'm out of touch with the industry, and also how I'll come across. I've gotten a little too excited about the role too, which will set me up for a big fall...
