I was better at English than at anything else. I know (I think) where to put a comma and a capital letter and a full stop and stuff 

Me too ....although I think predictive text and spell check has sunk my spelling !!! 

That's why I don't do predictive text    I think I've got quite a good handle on how things should be spelt/written ect  

But I grant you, the English language (that we learnt at school)  has got worse over the years

much quicker and the more your phone stores the more it's right 

I do shorten stuff....don't get me wrong, but I think it's a generational thing....we all know how words should be spelt I think....a lot of young peeps don't nowadays

Good afternoon Cribsters  

Sunny and getting warmer here after a cool start. Nice breeze though 

It's gonna get HOT HOT HOT midweek  

 

Dameeeeeeeeeeeeeee *hope you are having a pleasant Sunday, snogsssssssssssssss*    

 

There is a bloke next door who is using one of those leaf vacuum cleaners 

Its so bloody annoying 

What ever happened to a broom, shovel and the garden refuse bin?

Flippin eck, they come and empty them every fortnight for free 

Mind you AC/DC up loud is doing a good of drowning the noise somewhat 

Hope your day is quieter than mine, in more ways than one

I was watching it on the Crime Channel earlier and switched it off, I don't need reminding of it to be honest...I watched it all live on the day. I was in my study and had the news on in the background when the first plane hit, I don't think I moved for hours

I was at work at Safeway, and due to 'problems' with a bully colleague I had to move departments but sometimes had to go back to where I was to query things. They had it all on the news on the computer but I didn't really get to know what happened until I got home

That's the one I watched .....and I watched it live too .....I was finishing my thesis in my study , and listening to the Archers when the pay broadcast a news bulletin ....so I went downstairs and turned TV on .....and then sat there stunned for the next few hours Our whole department was in shock the next day

strange we were both in our studies, I had a TV in there and it was in the days when I believed the news and it was the first thing I switched on in the morning..how times have changed

I wouldn't care.....I had been there way more longer than her but she eventually hounded me out. 

 

She did eventually get sacked (karma)   and I was head hunted back to my original place, probably partly because my original colleagues knew I wasn't happy where I was I think

to be fair, there's always one...and the ones that are promoted for sitting on their backsides are normally the worst kind.

Yep.   So, I've had a bullying colleague and a bullying boss    There's not much I don't know about bullying in the workplace
