    I feel like that about Facebook and Twitter

    I feel like LinkedIn could be a very useful tool but doesn't appeal to me. This could be that my only contacts on there would be a pole dancing teacher and some random bloke I went on one bad date with about 10 years ago who keeps sending me requests.

    There's a kind of facebook/LI tool for those in my particular software development specialism but I'm not especially active on that either - I'm only a member because they make you sign up for it on training courses.

    My problem with LI at the moment is that I'll be applying for quite a variety of roles. With my CV, I obviously tailor it for each role. But with my LI profile, I worry about making it too specific to one industry or role.

    Oh well, got to get mortgage sorted first before I can apply for anything else so have got a few weeks to think about it.

    Wow. Everyone must have slept very well last night. Happy Monday Team WaS.

    OK, I need some help. I am in a lot of pain today. I'm on a deadline at work that I'm sure they will extend but, it will cost the company money to do so. I can't work from home as my laptop is in the office. How do I get through today, bearing in mind that my stronger painkillers make me fall asleep.

    Ok.... is there anyone else that can do the work, or at least some of it? Is there anyone you could direct from home (via phone) re. the basics? How sleepy will the painkillers make you? Are you able to take some now, go back to bed for a couple of hours then go into work later?

    Will have another think, see if I can come up with anything more useful.

    (((hugs)))

    Whereabouts is the pain?
    Is it musculoskeletal pain?


    Would it be cheaper for work to send the laptop to you by courier?

    Had a confusing weekend :undecided. FOH was at home much more than usual, was strangely helpful (even cooked breakfast yesterday - this is unheard of in recent years), and we actually had a nice time just hanging out together. There may have been some, ahem, activity :o (in my defence, we'd both run out of lives on candy crush so needed something to fill the time :rotfl:).

    Obviously it hasn't changed anything in the grand scheme of things. We had a conversation last night (perfectly polite) about places he's looking at to rent, sorting out the joint account etc.

    It's just messed with my head - why couldn't he have been like this for the last two years?

    This sounds like a brilliant idea, to me......... Fingers crossed you can sort something out and pamper yourself *looks in vain for a non-pervy hug smilie*
