      Ditto!

      At 1155hrs go to the Ladies. Do a round of triangle breathing (breathe in to the count of 3; hold to the count of 3; exhale to the count of 3 and do this three times - hence "triangle" ;) ). Then, fix your hair, drop your shoulders, extend your spine and walk tall! Calm, collected, tall. If anyone in that meeting is having a negative effect on your mood ....


















      :paladin: .... envisage them on the toilet constipated! Trust me, once you get *that* image into your head, they lose the power to intimidate you ;)

        I will certainly send you as many positive thoughts as I can @merleworld - do me a favour though, can you send some back to me on Thursday afternoon as I've got a board meeting that promises to be less than pleasant.

                I was "tail end charlie" today waiting in the house from 8a.m for some large parcels to arrive via FedEx.........and they didn't arrive until 4.30p.m.:gaah::coffee: You just know that should you go anywhere even for 5 minutes the Courier will come, knock on the door, wait for 5 seconds and then disappear.:wallbanging: I hate being "tied down" having to wait for something you are waiting for. With some Couriers you're able to track them so that you know exactly where they are, how many drops they've got before they get to you and the approximate time of arrival. I don't know if FedEx do that but I wasn't given a tracking number by the Supplier so had to wait around all day "kicking my heels" not knowing when the parcels would arrive. When I looked in the back of the FedEx van there were still lots of parcels and I asked the driver when he might finished delivering. He reckoned about 9p.m., plus he wouldn't be home until 11p.m. and would be up for 5a.m. the next day.:hate-shocked:

                  Thank you all :)

                  @fat controller will be sending positive thoughts :blue thumb:

                  I've had 3 hours sleep so not the best start to the day. I was working at 1am.

                    It went on for about an hour and a half Loli.

                    Meeting went okay, but got a shedload of stuff to do - thankfully working from home tomorrow.

                      Wish I could say the same. Meeting this morning left me spitting feathers, and that wasn't even the meeting that I was bothered about! The big one is tomorrow

                          Just tried to get a measured amount of Provado out of the new and improved container. Bloody near impossible. So what was wrong with the old method of taking the cap off and pouring some into a measuring cap and adding it to the water?
                          And £12 for a small bottle too!

                            Well, thank you all, as your good vibes seemed to do the trick at yesterday's meeting, and I even got a call from my boss this morning to tell me that the MD had taken him to one side after the meeting to tell him that he was impressed that we all knew the answers to the questions he threw at us, and we all seemed to be well in control of our respective departments.

                            Much more positive than being ripped a new bum as I was expecting.....
