Thank you to all who have responded to my laptop debate..it's amazing, I have 9 responses, and what I e expected was feedback from pc geeks who would give me techie advice on the pros and cons and get into a real tech debate/..instead there has been a deafening silence on that score, with a largely female response on the emotional side, which is of course, how I will make my decision..and a logical argument consisting of the spooky co-incidence of the verification code saying 'keepit' or something similar. Thanks, that is sooooo helpful......and of course I am so easily swayed by that kind of logic.
Of course DC has no idea that this debate has been going on, so the fact that Liz did not walk up to him at GB tonight and say, 'Oh nice laptop, do you think Sally would like one?' is probably just as well.....
Busy day today, last volunteers training session, so lunch and photos and certificates, then volunteers' supervision followed by a finance meeting followed by personal supervision and support: when asked, 'Are you stressed, any issues to discuss?' strangely I had one.... I had a twenty minute break when I went for a walk, at 6.40 oh there is a world outside the office, then I had my annual appraisal.
I know I shouldn't cos you'll all think I'm egotistical and vain, but it is nice to be told, officially, that I do a good job, that I manage the staff and volunteers well and the scheme is so successful and people are committed because of my character and the way I do things. That is so affirming. I do something right. Oh no, they will all start resigning tomorrow, I have committed the sin of pride...

No sin in that at all - we all need affirmation of what we are doing - and am really heartened to hear that some employers can do just that - be proud, if they have said it you can easily multiply that a few times to geta realistic idea of how well you're doing :-)
Given all the lovely things you say about me on occasion, I hereby absolve you well and truly and if there were an icon for making the sign of the cross you could consider it done :-)
And of COURSE you do a wonderful job...and it's a fantastic scheme that makes the most enormous difference to so many families. A real lifeline.
Have a minstrel, with love from me xxx
