Funny you should say that. I'm pretty sure I'm going to hear those words this afternoon. If not those words exactly then them under a layer of ahem, stuff.

The trouble is that once you're labelled you can't point out how they're wrong. If their opinion of being a team player is the one out on the netball court wearing the shortest skirt and getting the most goals, then there's no way they can be persuaded that it's an equally valid team player that sits on the sidelines, looks after the coats/bags and makes sure nothing's robbed, cheers on the players and hands out tissues or sticks on plasters as required as well as rounding everybody up to get on the coach at the end of the day.

The team these days is all about the noisy celeb-style ones....

Sometimes it seems that the harder/longer hours I 'work' the worse off I make my position. Today's stats show me I've done 38% worse this week than last week - and 30% worse yesterday than the same day a week before.

So take tomorrow off.
That's a sure fire winner, isn't it?

My dogs and cats do not approve of the return of economy heating measures. They have decamped to my bed and are all in a heap together. I'd show some sympathy but I think its too cute.

It's probably just variability in the results. Surely?

It could be that your changes to your websites are performing search engine anti-optimisation, in which case you are gaining really extremely valuable information. Without having seen your websites, I can't say for sure, but I think it's much more likely that your income is quite chunky, and a handful of hits a day are giving you most of your income.

It's the same issue that causes football clubs to sack their managers after a run of poor results that may just be random bad luck.

By the way, PN, would you be interested in working from home? You may be able to get real paid work writing material for other people's websites. My son did this for a while in his gap year(s), and he wrote quite a bit of stuff for Eurostar. I think this might be one of his. http://www.eurostar.com/uk-en/destinations/france/northern-france/lille

Don't forget to take Sofia and Ella with you!

I already told Ella she can only come if she stopped being grumpy. She responded by soiling her nappy and then weeing on me when I changed it.

That sounds scary.

Athough having said that, the day we brought our daughter home from hospital I still rate as the best day of my life.

lir So sorry to hear your news. I hope fir finds something much more (drat, can't think of the word I want, so sympatico will have to do!), as he deserves to.

chewmylegoff How exciting! Seems odd to think that when I had my first baby, in 1975, people stayed in hospital for 10 days after a first baby, and at least two weeks after a C-section :eek:

It was grim.

Forgot to say - Sue Well done to you both!
