I know what Zoidberg looks like and where to find him.

How about I 'incapacitate' him, and you go with Zoidlady, Grim...?

There's nothing in it for me except the promise of violence.

Had two interviews last week.

Nay: Not progressing on either.
Yay: feedback was absolutely positively superb and all that, only did not progress due to needing experience.

Where dies this leave me? The CV works as got called to interviews, I interview brilliantly* from the feedback. therefore now I need to find a role that gives me the line management experience I need to hit the two roles I interviewed for.

Worthwhile exercise

* It is, of course,little surprise that I enjoy talking to people where the sole topic is me me me and how great I am.

You clearly need to expand upon how your line management expertise extends not just to official line management, but also the amazing job you did of training and mentoring people with whom you have worked.

That was about taking the beats from the streets of Brixton and giving the massive some exposure. I was their guiding hand, the music made them the success that they are, my input was minimal.

This morning started off as a Nay. I had taken the day off and ordered a skip to get rid of all my old rotten wooden garden furniture. My son woke up @5am and was sick so no nursery= me getting nothing done as he will follow me around all day insisting I play trains with him.

He insisted on getting into bed with us and slept for the first time ever, so next thing I know its 9am and a call from the skip hire wakes me up! So first Yay there as not slept that late for months.

The more Yay as I got most of the stuff in there as my son was interested in "helping" Then I got over my obsession with filling skips in a day and realized that leaving it on the drive all week and filling it as and when was not an issue.

So played trains with my son most of this afternoon and then spent 40 mins whispering to sleep whilst he gave me a worryingly long verbal list of all the Thomas trains he wants from Santa.

Had our first parents evening last night, my son is still at Nursery but they have one all the same.

Was dreading it as he has been naughty pushing other kids over etc and we have another meeting to work on a standard reward\ sanction process at home and nursery to deal with this in a couple of weeks.

Overall it was good though, the teacher said he has made good friendships and is very good when they do forest school (a trip to the woods in my day :) )

They said he has selective listing in that sometimes in PE his won't do what he is told then other times he is really good. Also he needs to work on his interactions with other kids, he tends to push a kid etc if he wants something like a toy instead of asking if he can have it.

She also said that he never cries or whinges and tells tales even when he gets pushed over etc.

He also told his teachers that his daddy likes Thomas trains as much as him, which is sort of true!

So all in all quite pleased and relieved!

If I've learnt anything from TV it's that your child is naughty because he's bored because he's an ubergenius :)

Its all about him wanting to do things or not really. He is very wilful and confident, I couldn't really think of anything he is frighten of.

The point they made about him tending to push a kid when he wants something doesn't happen at home.

If he wants something from me and I'm not playing ball, he will ask, then he will ask and say please, then he will ask and say please do it for me daddy. The finally he calls me by my first name!

So 4 levels of verbal request there,

I pretended to be Santa on the phone to my 3-year old grandson, because he wasn't going to bed - he bought it 100% and shot upstairs, bless him, apparently telling everyone he spoke to Father Christmas at nursery today. :D

On the one hand - nay, I'm old enough to be believed to be Father Christmas :'(

On the other hand - yay, I'm jolly enough to be believed to be Father Christmas :D

We're away for the weekend. MrsA and the Advance Party are already there. MrsA texted me a list of stuff to bring. So I put it all in the car last night and arrived at work at half eight. At half past ten, I sat bolt upright in my chair and swore. I begin to panic. I text MrsA. She replies in the negative. I panic more. Now, I'm not saying this sort of stuff gets done for me, but I only had the clothes I was wearing as I was meant to pack a bag for myself. Which wasn't on the texted list. So i had to buy a Boba Fett (useless bounty hunter, waste of space) tee shirt and some socks and pants.
