Nooo!!! I can’t see anyone’s facebook pics because of the bizarre registration process that I refuse to be a part of. Can’t you just post it up here as well? :)

The one opening the champagne bottle is the father, the other one is my boyfriend.

Am I really not allowed to comment on anything in this thread?
I always get included in girly chats with my wife and her mates, cos, apparently, I don’t “count as a bloke cos you’re, well, you’re just ‘Dave’, aren’t you…?”
This is either a compliment or an insult, depending on my general mood…
I can iron, work a washing machine, cook to an acceptable level and pretend to like your mother all night too, if any of those help make me more suitable for this thread…?

and?? what did you tell him? I have my interview in 2 weeks. Not with my direct boss, but the personel director. I really don’t like him, he can’t be trusted, he twists your word to turn them into to his version of the truth. I have no idea what I’m going to say, because the “everything you say can be used against you” is very appropriate with this guy. The problem is that i really have some issues with management, so I should speak up, but if he turns it into something else in his briefing to management, I’m fucked. But not saying anything isn’t an option. Ah, the troubles of a lady :-)

I mean, can they be cleverly worded so it doesn’t sound like you are attacking your management but that you are offering eager, insightful suggestions for how a great set up can be made even better…?

@Marja - I haven’t had it yet, it’s not until this afternoon. I have two line managers and they are both really nice so I won’t have problems like you but the truth is I am very bored of my job and want to leave so trying to think of something constructive to say and thinking of three ways to achieve personal development within my current role is difficult *sigh*
Sounds like you are in a much trickier situation. Could you perhaps put something in writing? That way he can’t twist your words as you have proof of exactly what you did, and didn’t, say.

changes in our car policy were not communicated on time, they just started to apply them. These changes mean we get less car but have to pay the same every month. The whole organisation changed (also internationally) but this was not clearly communicated. We received like a million different versions of the organigram. They kicked out everyone above 55, turning departments from 13 people into a 3-piece.
But the main thing is, we get this feeling that they’re just not telling us straight up what is happening. They just change things without telling middle management,. There’s this song from NIN where reznor sings : “they didn’t give it a mouth so it cannot complain”. That’s what’s been happening here for a while

Well said!!! This is a LADIES thread …
Tinne, that photo is beautiful! The only thing you should worry about is that the baby’s dummy is so much more fancy than your ring!! :D It’s a lovely ring, but that dummy is amazing!

Basically it means getting your womb microwaved whilst you’re still alive. Not suitable at all for people who want to have babies.
Tequila Slammer? That would actually be quite a good name for a baby girl - I must remember to mention it to Gav and Jess :)
