    Click on 'Manage Attachments' when you're replying, then you can upload a pic directly to boards. Also... *shudder*

    Yet another idiotic manager who doesn't understand Outlook is trying to blame me for missing a meeting this morning.

    Him: But I sent you a new time proposal for that meeting!

    Me: *checks* No you didn't

    Him: I did!

    Me: You didn't, I've checked.

    He sends stinky email to my manager, obviously not realising I also have access to my manager's inbox.

    I do a bit more digging. He changed the time in his own calendar, which sends another standard acceptance notification to me. He then assumes that A) this will generate a new time proposed notification, or that B) I open and check every single meeting acceptance I receive to make sure they haven't been f*cked up somehow.

    :mad:, :mad: and thrice :mad:

    That's ridiculous! If you explained to your manager would they understand?
    These people should have to do courses in Microsoft outlook!

    Yeah the false widow is poisonous..if a bite was left untreated it could kill you...starts to kill the tissue or something.

    They are known to be in Wicklow and have been spotted in Dublin as well.

    Waiting on a confirmation but it does look like one.

    Heh my boyfriend and I are going to London next week and the other night he told me I am responsible for any extra baggage damage (fee's) when we are returning home.

    I mentioned visiting Primark on Oxford Street, he looked at me and said "That's ain't happening" :pac:

    I'll persuade him yet :pac: :D

    Just took the butter and eggs out of the fridge to make buns and buttercream icing, looked in one egg box and find five eggs missing. :( Have to buy more this evening now :(

    Just read about a guy in the UK a few days ago who collapsed and they realised he had 10 bites from one of them!

    Thanks! I love that Primark, but it's a bit terrifyingly busy and messy!

    Well it was in the compost bin and when I saw it I threw the lid away so when it can't see it now. Also the neighbors cat got in the compost bin after so now I've to go and tell them to keep an eye on the cat.

    I'm just have a cup a tea and then I'll have to go look for it :( wouldn't normally kill a spider but just in case I'll have to do something.

    I wish I could get over my fear of spiders, it's so embarrassing how I react to them somethimes.

    I can't even stand fake ones, spiders freak the crap out of me. I remember when I was 5 or 6 I became terrified of them after one climbed up my sleave.
    I try not to kill them (unless i panic) but I'll trap them under glasses and bowls and wait for someone to come remove them.
    Cat could have eaten it? *hopes*

    Well seeing as I now know how to upload picture's...here's the coffee cake I made for my dad's birthday.

    Dad's cake.JPG

    Check out my icing skills...or lack there of, got a bit bored of the whole thing by the time I had to put the icing on.

    My sister is TERRIFIED of spiders. I bought a fake one and hide it in random places in her room. One day she was feeling brave and wanted to scare me so she put it in my bed.

    We were in my room about an hour later and i lift up the covers but I'm not paying attention and don't see it; she see's the fake spider that she put there and screams the house down.

    Best.day.ever.

    Oh the joys of writing about 1930s Fianna Fail. I'm already waaay over the wordcount and the tutor is going to mark me terribly anyway because she hates me.

    It's not my fault she's a bitter anarchic little woman who makes stupid provocative statements that I feel I must disagree with :p

    And is it just me, or is there something of a mini-heatwave going on?

    Four hours sleep last night 'cause I thought it'd be a great idea to stay out 'til 4am even though I had to get up at 8am. WHY SO STOOPID?

    Essay to write now but I'm so sleepy. :(

    Hate that :( Nothing worse than being really sleepy while you're trying to get work done.

    My massage on Monday seems to have worked miracles, for the first time in months by back, arms and neck aren't in agony, yay! Going to book another asap.

    Boyfriend gave me a birthday card with "To My Wife" with "2b" in tiny writing on it (all cards say wife-to-be etc, he has completely bypassed fiancée except for one Christmas card with fiancé on it, I'm not a boy!), and when I open it it sings Unchained Melody and says "All the fiancee cards were useless" :p He's so funny.
