As a dad my one bit of advice is don't miss an opportunity to be a there as a dad if you can help it. This part of their life passes quicker that you think and you'll be thankful you got to share it with them. Even if he is too young to remember the bond will be stronger.

yeah that's why I want to go today as well, I want to be there with him

The art of negotiation is make your opponent believe that the proposal you have agreed upon is their idea.

Had my year end appraisal. During the big boss came up with a couple of ideas, both of which I was happy with. Who would have thought it

My current boss won't be happy though. Tough.

Hope you got a nice payrise out of it mate! that's the whole point of reviews surely!

Not this year. This year is about me being given the work and the role I've been after. I may have to move teams. The guy I work for is excellent at his job but he's no manager. I can't develop as a lawyer if he won't give me supervision and feedback.

Thats something then mate, gotta keep progressing and if the opportunities are there you gotta go for it, good luck i say!

Last year's pay rise is helping me be a bit more relaxed this year

What areas do you feel you need to develop in??

Hmmmmm.....was about to go out for a ride, but the heat seems to have buggered my brakes all to hell-and-back. The levers are jammed almost solid.
I guess I shouldn't have left the bike outside in the sun.

Feck it....a quick blast around the block will sort them.

Is your fluid reservoir full? Remove some fluid to avoid the issue repeating

Technical stuff. I've being treading water for a couple of years. I need to be pushed on stuff which is slight beyond me.

It isn't beyond you, Kwacky. If you don't feel uncomfortable you aren't doing anything new - if you aren't doing anything new you aren't learning. You sound like you are good at your job and if it's the next incremental step you're trying to take then you can certainly achieve it

Yep...I'm with Cav. on this one.

Well I'm not such a fan of the Peter Principle.
All you Betas, Gammas, Deltas, and Epsilons should be content to settle for your lot.

Feeling pretty happy that I've been in the new job just a week and already done just under £2k in business for them and have much more lined up already. Nice to feel like I'm contributing to the business already and like I'm actually achieving something!

That's impressive going. Top skills

Think I might go donate blood today.

BUT.....I just had a coffee, so it might have to wait....I'll get it done in the next couple of days.

Finished my Rota this morning done my 4 shifts. Now blinking shattered, had a couple of hours sleep as I don't want to be up tonight.

Welcome to the shift workers life Rossgo coffee is your friend. You'll get used to the spacey sleep deprived feeling after a few years

Last night with the kids before going to work. Little buggers have me pulling my hair out on a daily basis but I always feel pretty glum on this night. I get them off to school tomorrow and then drop them to their mums tomorrow evening. I know I am lucky the big block of time I get with them but it's always hard facing 3 1/2 weeks without seeing them.
