Lake District hol update ....
Opened cottage door this morning expecting an Ark to be anchored up after the torrential rain during the night
And so it goes on
But as they say up here "there's no such thing as bad weather, just the wrong clothes " ....
Just on my way out with my big black Labrador who really doesn't mind what the weather is doing!

Morning all - yesterday was lovely - did not really do anything productive other than play with the steam cleaner. Went for a long walk with friend and dog, made lunch for us all and then sat and gossiped over coffee all afternoon. Really enjoyed doing nothing much! Off to aerobics in a bit, then over to Crewe to visit DiL and the grand-princess. I have asked that we do something where ducks are involved - I think ducks and small children are a winning combination! Enjoy your day. Good luck for later Cariann.

Morning all. Just had a battle of wills with Will over writing stuff for his holiday diary for school. I won
Hopefully will be going to allotment when it warms up. Freezing here at the moment.

[SusieG]

Good luck with your MASSIVELY LONG interview, Carrian88

[noviceveggrower]

Sorry forgot to say good luck Cariann with your interview. Four hours wow that's a long time.

[cariann88]

Yes I know it's long but it's an assessment one. They watch what you can do and how you speak and how your dressed. Then you get the interview right at the end. The last time I did this with the hospital I got the job before they withdrawn it back.

Morning all, wet first thing this morning...Harry dog had us up at the crack. He has a skin infection and there is a wee tiny bit which is driving him, and us, nuts. So a quick dab of cream and off he went back to bed, me...tried my hardest but just could not get back to sleep! It's stopped raining so fingers crossed for a better day!

Carrie, be careful what you write in public forums...you never know who reads them! Good luck with the interview, have my fingers crossed for you!

Have a great day all, whatever you are doing and wherever you are!

As already mentioned- you need to be careful what you say on open forum.

Throwing a sickie is in fact theft of time. Theft of time is therefore theft of your employer's money.

Taking time off when you are not actually ill does not bode well for the future if you make a habit of it.
Some workplaces insist on sick notes from the GP or assessment from Occupational Health for repeated sick leave, to see what the problem is and how it can be resolved.

I wish you well Carrie with your interview , and hope it brings you a healthy and fulfilled career.

[Florence Fennel]

Sorry Carrie, but I was going to say "tell the truth and shame the devil". I have no problem when my staff have time off to attend interviews, it shows they have ambition or in some cases promotes a discussion if they are unhappy. Anyways, I really hope all goes well for you

Nicely put Flo Mrs.BB said much the same thing when she was a senior
