Very sensible plans. Ask HR for copies of their grievance and bullying policies. You don't need to actually use them but it implies you are thinking that way. 'Your inappropriate behaviour in front of my direct reports'. 'My position is becoming untenable due to your behaviour' etc are hard to swallow and a relationship to recover from, so maybe consider wording more down the when you do this it makes me feel this.

(can you tell I've been doing some writing in between being flaky?)

Horrible bullying oaf...so glad HR is involved.   Monday will be cathartic and I bet he's got form.  You are so much better than this KK; standing by to hear that he's got his comeuppance.  Love Humdinger xx

Thanks @redofromstart, I used your thoughts and guidance in my write up. Felt quite cathartic to do it. 

@Humdinger1, I genuinely think he has no clue what damage he is doing. I said to HR yesterday that he has the EQ of a potato. She laughed and said i couldn’t say that. I explained that if the emotional state of a person in front of him fits rules he understands e.g. a bereavement, it goes in his brain, matches up with a pre-set program and the output is a good one. But if the person is nebulously struggling (stress, anxiety etc) he is utterly clueless. She agreed with that … 🤷‍♀️🙄

Anyway, real things! 😊
- Mattress has arrived - currently venting it’s stinky chemicals in a bedroom with both windows open. 👏 The delivery guys were in and out in less time than it took us to take down the newel post and banister! 😂
- 4 loads of washing processed - swopped my bedding mid week this week, as it had been so hot and sticky at night and I have washed the grounding sheet I use, as well as all my week’s clothes. Whirlygig and airer in hot conservatory both doing sterling service 😊
- Did the work I had to bring home from work (as I am having to every weekend atm) so that’s over and done with! 💪
- Went out for a change of scene to a local kinda crafty centre place. It’s open there for years but I have never been to it. It’s in a stunning location and I found yarn and a pattern for a project for me for the first time ever! 😊 The only problem is that there are two patterns in one, so which did I do …?? 😂 I will share some pics in a bit and see what you think. I found some lovely cheeses and posh savoury biscuit things, so with some tomatoes from the greenhouse, that is lunch sorted 😊
- Also found a cute Cmas present for best mate and some (cheap!) pretty flower-like earrings to wear in work 😊

So, MSE Friends, which would you do …. (I initially bought the pattern for the higher necked version).

He is a nasty piece of work and you are lovely and hard working and don't deserve this. Glad you got your notes together and I also look forward to hearing the outcome. This is untenable.

Re the knit, I prefer the edges of the first one but would a lower neck give you more weather options? Go with whatever will be most pleasing for you to try.

Hope you have a delicious weekend- to live well is the best revenge (but tiny chunks of rotten fish hidden in someone's office comes a close second)

I prefer the body hem and neck of the first one but the sleeves hem of the second one. I also prefer the all over textured pattern of the second one …. 🤔

Re your second comment …. OMG, you are so baaaad!! 😂😂😂😂😂 That *literally* made me shout out loud with laughter! 🤭

Note to self - do not cross PIP....

On that note, PIP have you tried sending any hate mail to the bods at your council 🤔? In my last job, we had a third party that was causing me loads of grief, and I took a great deal of satisfaction from planning (but never brave enough to actually follow through!) to send him an anonymous letter saying "[Insert name], you are a t*rd" - with letters cut from a newspaper and no licking of the envelope, obvs (I've seen enough Midsomer Murders to not make mistakes 😀)

I prefer the second one but I hate high necks. I'd make it longer in the body too. Well, actually, I'd make the front side longer and then never actually make the rest (says the Queen of procrastination)

The first knit please, where do we send our orders (I would go a size up as I prefer a slightly loose fit ).
