I like Exeter. I could live in Exeter. Plus he seems to like food and I am a feeder.
Please inform him of my decision. Should you need to sell me to him, you can tell him that I cook and clean and bake and do law. I also shave my legs. That's about it.
Do you shave anybody elses legs

Hmm! I wonder how I can deal with this tactfully. He thinks it's time to settle down and has dabbled in internet dating, so far unsuccessfully. He'd probably be horrified to know I'm discussing him on the internet.

Your geography seems a bit sketchy, Keewick!
Isn't it only about 2 hours on the train?
Quote: Oldrocker @ 2nd April 2014, 9:41 PM BSTThat's the problem with getting older, of course- you can't remember
anything.For me, it's getting worse. Increasingly I have telephone conversations with my wife that go like this:
"Hello, dear. I'm in town. Why am I here?"
Surely this sort of thing can be avoided by just writing a list?

Going to the shops yes, but from one room to another?

Do you know the movie Memento? You could use your body as a note book.
"5:25 p.m. Going for a pee..." etc.

I suppose so.
Quote: Jennie @ 1st April 2014, 8:17 PM BSTSorry you feel that way.
The truth is, you don't know why you weren't invited into the meeting and there is no point speculating. Is there someone you can ask?
I used to do a lot of so-called 'mind reading'. I would take a situation, e.g. Someone ignoring me in the street, and jump to a negative conclusion on limited information. 'They ignored me because they hate me' rather than considering other explanations (such as 'they didn't see me.')
I am much much better now. What other people think of me isn't any of my business unless or until they choose to tell me. Until then, I'm going to carry on doing what I do.
Hope you get some answers!
I was sort of right and sort of wrong. The fact I've made a few mistakes recently was a small part of what was discussed but the other part was that they are probably because I had to much to do and they were figuring out how to help me. Also someone had to monitor the phones.
Also Oldrocker, I'm not very good at reading sarcasm but if you are genuine about not been able to retrace your steps, please go and see a Doctor.
Ben is planning to splash the cash on some Blu-rays. Well, 3 for £17 anyway.

I can suddenly think 'I'll Google that.' Open Google and then look blankly at it without a clue why I'm there.
Quote: reds @ 1st April 2014, 3:36 PM BSTWas the only person not involved in a office meeting today. In the past have been included so not sure if I should be offended by this or take it as a sign I'm doing my job badly.I Would like to think that it's because I am the person who was most likely to be called out to deal with things and also with the most amount of work to by a certain day, but not so sure.
I didn't get fired though, so that is a good thing.
It means you're job is entirely secure.
If they were planning to get rid of you, they wouldn't exclude you from meetings as that gives you a strong case for constructive dismissal and workplace bullying.
Meetings about this kind of thing involve very, very few people and are discreet.
But if you feel like this, you are probably unhappy go and find a better, happier job.
Being in an unhappy job is like drowning by putting your face in a bowl of water.

That happens to me a lot. And I don't think it's Alzheimer's at my age. The "Google-thing" happens when you're bored and try to kill time...your motivation to Google a word or something is half-arsed, that's why you're forgetting it after a second.
It's when you Google "where did I put my glasses?" that you have to worry.
