Lesley's legend

Update - she wore a full length Christmas jumper dress that made her look like a full-sized Christmas tree. I wore normal work clothes. She didn't make any comment on my clothes and I made no comment on hers.

Hope you got her a Secret Santa:

Hi Everyone,


Unfortunately the company we ordered our office Brunch through has cancelled our booking this afternoon due to them closing a day earlier than planned until the New Year ☹


Due to this, they have offered to make it up to us in the New Year so we’ll reschedule and have a ‘Welcome Back Brunch’!


Sorry for this, but it was out of our control.


Thanks,


UK Social Committee

Dear faculty and staff,

I do want to mention that as the semester is winding down to an end, with the hectic schedule of the intensive teaching curriculum and increasing work load demand, the anxiety lever is running high among some of our colleagues here. I don't blame you if you are anxious, frustrated and stressed. It is a common phenomenon at this time of the year in our line of business. I myself sometimes feel that I had woke up on the wrong side of the bed and had a chip on my shoulder throughout the day. If you feel the same at times, there is nothing wrong with your attitude or mentality. It is the crazy time of the semester when so many things have accumulated. I urge all of you stay calm and always have your composure even when you are agitated. I am always available if you need to talk or seek advice. At the end of the day, we all need to work together to accomplish our goals.

... "the anxiety lever" ...

Sure. Pull the other one.

I hope this person doesn't teach English.

No he doesn't. But he's not a native English speaker, so I think, at least in that respect, he's doing a pretty great job.

Ahh, fair enough.

I'd like it better if they knew the difference between a plural and a possessive.

 

[equationgirl]

how many of them have you bought?

None, sadly. But don't think it wasn't considered for a number of special people.

No, you misunderstand - Mr Panini is the head nurse, known for his love of crumpets, buns and small rodents.

Panini is plural in itself, no need for an s at the end, even more no need for ‘s. At the cafe at my health club the menu has panini’s on offer, the club is part of Charterhouse School.

 

[Puddy_Tat]

e-mail and ask what constitutes a 'small rodent' and whether doing rat on a stick is acceptable...

Oh I quite like that. A bit of self-knowing in it.

Panini is singular in English, unless you're going to start asking for cappuccino using the plural form if you order more than one. Better just to accept we change words when they come into English.

You've either got to use the correct singular and plurals of all import words, or none of them. You can't pick and choose.

TBF I think I’d probably agree with this.

I can choose whatever pointless, uphill battles ultimately doomed to failure I like, thankyouverymuch. Rage against the dying of the panino!

Please note that someone has broken a chair in the meeting room in Level D – It was not reported and was only found when Facilities went into this room as the chair had been left upside down.

It is only courteous and fair on others that if you brake something please report it to Facilities or our Reception team to enable us to remove or fix the item for the next person using the area.

Thanks

how much does it set you back?

 

[Bahnhof Strasse]

how much does it set you back?

£48.95 a month, which is for all the facilities. It's the same price as the council gym/pool, but not quite as nice as the council one which Frau Bahn signed up to which is brand new, plus with the council membership she can also use Haslemere & Farnham's gyms/pools. I would go with that too, but the only evening swimming available in the council pools is Tuesday unless I want to go after 9pm, which I don't. Charterhouse I can swim daily if I wish to.
