Finance directors who tell you they don't want all the detail when you try to expain something to them at 10am who then call you at five to five (on a Friday) and ask you for a file with even more detail as they REALLY need it.

I got an email at 455pm asking me to call HR urgently. They didn't answer the phone.
They wanted an interviewer for Monday. Did I feel like I was the last resort?

More a gripe of the night really. Had a wee op 10 days ago, and although it seems to have put an end to some of the symptoms there's still the night time vomiting and pain.

Only 4 more days to wait for the biopsy results on the 2 lumps removed...

First off in 6 years of riding today, ice got the better of me... R&G crash bungs definitely worth it though, only damage is a couple of minor scratches on the fairing, broken gear lever and my pride

If you get some practice in, you'll find you can break way more than that

So long as you come out unscathed, crashing isn't as bad as everyone makes out

That depends a lot on speed of incident, a low speed off is embarrassing and main damage is to pride. The damage gets worse exponentially as speed increases.
