I'm doing an MSc Human Resource Management (not a real science I know). Dissertation is on linking pay and performance in the public sector. It's actually quite interesting

I may be able to help. PM me if you want to discuss this.

He's used to have stuff chucked over him. Anyone who insists on being held / fed at dinner time has to get used to wearing dinner. It's part of the hazards.

He is very cute.

He appears to be as interested in his daddy as he is in his balloon, mesmerised.


Just re read the first line and will get the NP joke out of the way. "And the baby's not bad either"

PS - in that photo above, OH is wearing a work shirt with cufflinks, and jeans. That's not because he chooses to wear a naff combo of cufflinks and jeans, exactly, more that he got home from work and took his suit off, but couldn't be bothered to change further....

That isn't naff.

I only say that because that's exactly what I do on Fridays.

I may be able to help as well - at least if he wants to listen to a forty five minute rant about the idiotic reward structures and processes I have been subject to which are completely disconnected from actual performance!

Just tried to PM you Viva...

Sorry, have made space now. Please also take up Spirit's offer to PM her. I sense that she could be very helpful. Chewy of course can help with the um, outsider's perspective, which I sense contains far more than a grain of truth...

I worked out those toasters when we had one in the worka canteen.

People turn up or down the temperature & speed depending on the last slice to come through. Trouble is, changes in the temperature dial take time to come through to the actual toast so people are alwaya trying to make toast based on out of date information.

That or your school had a dodgy toaster.

We always have cheap toasters that always do subsequent slices more than the first slice as they are already hot. Perhaps the same may apply to the conveyor ones if they are used intermittently?


I often swap suit trousers for jeans when I get home from work if doing anything with the kids. Should do it every day really as they always seem to want to come for a hug or sit on knee once they have messy fingers. No cufflinks for me though, part of consultancy skills when going for long term 'part of the team' placements is not to dress more expensive than your colleagues.

I know someone quite senior in HR for an oil major, remind me at the weekend to ask them about their graduate programmes.

DH changes trousers too.

Which is nothing to how he goes in on Mondays ATM.

Dept meeting no longer exists so he sometimes has time for the gym on Monday morning, so he puts shorts on under suit ( lir shakes head with laughter and despair ...fir says,....it saves time) and wears a t shirt or whatever on on top under a hoody. With shirt packed. Leaves jackets in office now.

If no time can go to office and put on shirt and look less streamlined around the thighs and butt. If time can go to gym, then shower there or at office.

When I'm on public transport it's get in, get showered (usually, may skip the 2nd shower this time of year), into jeans/shorts and a t shirt.

I get the work garb off as early as possible. The cufflinks are coming off as I go down the driveway!

In summer he might just be in his pants.:D Or pants and shirt.

If RP isn't here we both wear less

First thing we do of its light enough though is ' garden tour' seeing what's out, who hatched, and maybe discussing jobs for the weekend.

And putting birds away if its the right light. Generally best done with more clothes than pants.

Is that what it takes to get on in financial services, then, cuff links? If only I'd known!

If I have had to wear a suit for some formal occasion, work or social, the first thing I do when I get home is shuck it off, then usually shower and put on pyjamas. I can work perfectly well in pyjamas, although I have to make sure the camera is switched off before using Skype.
