I've just realised - today (Tuesday before anyone gets pedantic @classic33 ) is my 55 & 10/12ths birthday.

Ooooh! Want me to trebuchet a slice of cake over?

Chocolate or lemon drizzle please. Hold the candles.
Best make it a 10/12ths slice.
Makes it less aerodynamic - the imbalance could see it ending up in Norfolk or Essex depending on the rotation. Best fling the whole thing :laugh:
Well, 1/6 of a standard supermarket cake is one portion. ^_^
Where do they get these ridiculous ideas from. One sixth is just an appetiser!
 
I've been told to organise my holidays for next year. When I pointed out that my contract only ran until April this was dismissed with a wave of the hand. Apparently I'm now considered a permanent fixture.

I was given the impression that the organisation likes to move people after the first year but my immediate boss says that's unlikely "until you have a lot more experience". Which means I won't have to move or pay for a longer commute.

The company can (and will) keep me on a one year contract for two years, so it looks like I'm "safe" until May 2022. This is an advantage: I would prefer to work in education or therapy, and I have fundamental problems with this organisations basic concept for looking after people with disabilities, so that's as long as I'll want to stay here and was planning to look for other possibilities by 2022 at the latest.

I expect it would but my laptop has no LAN port, only Wifi. I suppose I could try with my work laptop to see if it's any better.

Oddly enough a colleague had to go into the office one day recently due to scheduled power cuts due to maintenance at his home by the electricity people and discovered that there are no longer wired LAN connections at work as plugging and unplugging cables is allegedly a Covid risk. The problem being that he was one of the few who weren't provided with a laptop but was sent home with his desktop PC which doesn't have a Wifi card installed so he couldn't work when he was in the office:laugh:

That is seriously nuts!

A wedge would be more aerodynamic provided it was loaded correctly. As to size, I make it 5/36th of the cake that should be delivered, or maybe, sent.
