Hot Chocolate Anyone ?

Hot Chocolate Anyone ?

Hi All

There is a thread operating on the Lived Experience Forum under Night Shift where members who are having trouble sleeping for any reason give a bit of a shout-out, to see if there is anyone else sleepless and looking for company. It's been such a great thing, I thought I would start one over here too.

I have had the odd few nights where I have woken up on and off, and my kids have been having a bit of trouble some nights too, depending on what has happened during the day.

Being a carer can be lonely too, so if you are making an after-midnight cup of something hot, and wonder who else might be doing that too, maybe have a look-in here and see if anyone else is about.

Next semester will be brand management and strategic development at this stage. Looking forward to that. Should be a little more engaging than corporate govenance.

We can all hope that the GOOD will win out in business.

I used to think even small businessmen were bad but moving towards centre.

I am a little more balanced now I have had a hand in a few businesses and knowing a wider range of people.

My SIL was doing MBA and in charge of firing people .. not a great job really... after a while ...she had a very paranoid message on her answering machine. More paranoid than her Sz brother. She was the richest of the bunch and actually a nice lady trying to make it in the big bad world with the big boys.

That's LIfe.

Yes I have worked in a pretty dodgy enviornment, it takes a toll when working outside of your ethical comfort zone. It did on me anyway. lol I started refusing to do stuff in the end confident that boss was not going to sack me because it would only get messy when I explained why. Well he didnt sack me but he did load me up with other preassure until I snapped and quit. I was not the only one eitherm was standard procedure. Another first class example of ethical business practice.

@Appleblossom@Determined

There are some jobs that I'm sure I would not be able to do because the internal ethical conflict would be too much. In some cases they're jobs that others would think were pretty "everyday". Good on both of you for hanging on to principles under pressure.

Good morning all,

Nice sunny day here, about to head out to visit my mum for her birthday.

Feeling a bit blah this morning, thought I slept ok but not feeling rested.

Little people are excited to visit gran after her being away for 6 weeks.

Was going to work today but that will have to wait until tomorrow.

Re: Hot Chocolate Anyone ?

where am I ??

I thought I was in another thread

but this thread is my favourite subject : HOT Chocolate.

@'ve been reading some old posts I missed when on a break and @Faith-and-Hope wrote about an artist: May I plagerise you @Faith-and-Hope ?

It's about an artist @Faith-and-Hope did a jigsaw for .

Giovanni Segantini was an Italian painter known for his large pastoral landscapes of the Alps. He was one of the most famous artists in Europe in the late 19th century, and his paintings were collected by major museums.

This is what keeps me going. Art.

Re: what keeps you going ??

Hi All :

What keeps me going??

Art work and card making to send to my friends and family ( slow mail) taking my dog, Arlo for a walk. This is Arlo when I first got him for free. Arlo was very thin, his ears blocked with strange things and had'nt had a haircut. He is now very good after two years.

Before. when I first got him. the picture after is what he is like now.
