Apple muncher's number crunching

apple_muncher

Ooh, did I get two cold shoulders today, or what?!?!?! It seems there were tears and some people telling others to be kind to the tearful stressed person... What ???? Well, I guess it might not have been due to me pointing out their lack of professionalism and daring to mention that they hadn't done enough... Nah. Who am I kidding?!

Anyhow, I had an unofficial/shut the door / off the record chat with the dep head about the situation this morning, and she gets it. Phew.

Steadily getting there with my own language papers - should be all sorted by next weds. Moderated too.

This is sounding horrendous, apple, very unpleasant.  I'm glad you managed to have an open talk with the deputy head.

Well, knock me down with a feather! I received an apology from the aforementioned person. I had not expected that. (Plus most of the rest of the papers for me to moderate, which I had expected)

Thank you x
Fortunately, I don't care enough for their childish behaviour to affect me much. I know what they are like and just find it risible. Which doesn't mean that it doesn't upset me , but that I get over it quickly.

Glad to hear that they apologised! x

My abs really hurt. The very top bit, where the ribcage starts. All the way round.

I found a new kettle bell workout series by zuzka light on YouTube. It was perfectly manageable when I did it 2 days ago... But then I went back to the gym today for #2 in the series. Oops.

In other news, I chose a liddle veg box with a multitude of bananas.(it also contained a bag of potatoes and three apples!) 26 bananas were useable and 3 made the short trip straight to the compost bin. I've chopped up any that had possible manky bits and frozen the healthy bits. And used the almost-good-enough-to-freeze bits in banana pancakes (just nana + egg) . About 10 nanas are in the fruit bowl.

I also am a victim of the surprise bananamountain.  It is either feast or famine on the yellow peril front.

Sorry your abs hurt! It is those criss cross muscles that make up your 'corset'  pulling in tighter.  Can you remember your breathing exercises from labour?  Sometimes they really help to loosen it up and give a little relief. Just don't over do it.

Have a play with a tape measure on that bit and watch the numbers drop.

That's a good distinction - and it's also good to accept your own reaction.  Apologies to you from other parties are the best   But watch those abs!
