As employers we have someone who is constantly off sick and does it in daily doses, comes back a day or half a day or sometimes not even half a day and then goes home again. Can she be disciplined for...
We are trying to set up a good disciplinary procedure making sure we keep in line with everything, does anybody have any ideas of where we might get hold of one. We are about to take on some new staff...
I work for a very small charity where funds are extremely tight at the moment and we have a part time employee who has constantly threatened to leave throughout the last year. On three separate...
I never knew that, I knew chocolate was and other things but I wasn't aware grapes were and apparently they are very poisonous according to the vet. I think it would be good for Vets to put a large...
Watch out for dangers on the old candles, they can cause fire as one of ours did one christmas. It had a decorative base at the bottom and during the course of the day it wasn't watched and later in...
I understand that the chancellor wants to pay even more money in the last weeks of pregancy! Why??? Surely the benefit system is giving and has been giving more than it should over the last decade....
My rescued little bundle of Shar-pei was rushed to vets Friday and Monday with this awful disease where the eyelids roll into themselves, causing ulcers on the cornea, he had a bout of it in February...
Mr ES and I visited the newly refurbished local hostelry last night, it has been taken over by new landlords, (who looked 19 and 21) and turned it into a "new age gastronomical diner". It consists of...
My emails go back to 2003, thousands of them and I would like to store them on CD, is this possible with the hope that if I need to get them back, I can. All attempts to copy have failed, any...
I am happy as the colleague from Hell has been off sick for three days, 15 year old has tummy pains!! Yipee - a lovely civilised office soon to be closing for the weekend! Vin de plonk here I...
Well, I do actually agree, but I reckon men are happier because they wake up in a "happier state" if you know what I mean!! Women aren't as lucky to wake up in such a "feel good" mood. Our duvet is...
Do we really need Palm Oil in our goods? I have just recently read about the total devastation this causes in the rain forests to animals and the eco system in general. The Orang-utan is in great...
Having seen that obnoxious horse racing chap on the TV last night, the fat one, with the side burns, pick his nose and eat it last night (I was eating my dinner at the time!), why on earth do we have...
We are a small charity and we have a forum on our website. In the last few weeks we have received hundreds of spam, the "viagra" type! and they have been posted on it. Being a small charity we don't...
Have just finished watching this excellent US drama. It has probably been on before but I often miss the good ones first time around, but I thought it was brilliant, edge of the seat stuff, and the...
Still getting to grips with things or not as the case may be! I have Outlook Express on my emails and cannot find an out of office reply on my toolbar for my emails. I know AOL has it but I can't find...
Those who read the post last week, there have since been more shannanigans with our beer swilling friends. This morning the Rotty attacked a blind mand and his guide dog, final straw for me as I...
Reading another post today, it struck me that some dogs do some strange things when they hear certain noises. My shar-pei goes beserk when he hears the church bells ring and stands at the front door...
