  • Apparently grade and salary discussions with HR aren't going as well as boss had hoped... :(

    Never mind, at least I have a job :)

    I should have checked the weather forecast before I packed - cold and raining heavily, chance of snow :eek: Today's outfit includes white linen trousers and sandals :rotfl:

    Miss Gladys and/or Miss Beryl (Mr MWC can't tell the difference!) keeps escaping from the chicken run into the vegetable garden :eek: At the moment she's happy digging in the bark but how long before she discovers that there are tasty things growing in the raised beds... fortification required when I get home.

  • Toes are fine Hbbb - I've just painted my toenails mint green :D

    Greying - dinner last night was balsamic marinated tofu, potato & pea puree, sauteed mushrooms, chargrilled asparagus and a roasted red pepper vinaigrette - it was lush. I should have taken a photo! 3 slices of tofu on a generous smear of puree, vinaigrette was more of a sauce consistency and drizzled on the tofu, asparagus tips were artfully balanced on tofu, mushrooms were just on the plate not doing anything fancy :rotfl:

  • There's obviously been a dearth of nominations for our inaugural department excellence awards as a reminder has been sent out and the VP has even said that self nominations are acceptable.

    It just feels wrong diddly wrong wrong to nominate myself but there is a cash prize up for grabs...
    I will nominate myself in the category of Exceptional Delivery; however, I'll do it as a joint nomination with a couple of US-based colleagues who contributed to the project :)

    We won :j:j:j
