    I am really torn about what to do-I hate letting the girls down I work with but my face is swollen and hurts...guess I will see in the morning....

    Well its a customary thing to go out on xmas day/boxing day - I did a 13 miler on boxing day last year - and it works up an appetite for a nice brekkie :D
  • I've never had a xmas stocking, even as a kid, but if it were me, I'd wrap everything individually, makes it more exciting :cool:

    I have access to my work email and have just read an email that I consider quite rude. I am so wanting to reply but my sensible daughter is telling me to let it go!

    It may just be that the written word hasn't come over properly, so I am trying to ignore it and see what tomorrow brings....

    You're right not to reply until tomorrow!

    I would phone/see the person rather than responding to the email, they won't be expecting that and they are far less likely to be rude to you!

    We have a woman at work who is known for sending very abrupt emails.

    It's easy to give in to that negative voice that chants "cant do it" BUT we lift each other up.
    We dont count all the runners ahead of us & feel intimidated.
    Instead we look back proudly at our journey, our personal struggle & determination & remember that there are those that never even attempt to reach the starting line.

    It basically said to the recipient of the email, not to involve me in any other emails and to deal with her direct!

    And she cc'd me into it

    And she is wrong because all orders have to come through me in the first place, then she deals with the accounts side, so I have to be involved in the first place.

    Doesn't sound like much, but it was the tone - she even put one word in capitals
