lolabobsHeh - my boss spent some time today telling me all about a hotel she stays, where the decor is very "homoerotic", with lots of images of young men in trunks (a la 1940s/1950s Burt Lancaster From Here to Eternity style bathing costumes) and draped around! Heh! I wanna go. She describes the wing as very Cape Cod, and shabbily genteel. Sounds fab - somewhere 'Up North' apparantly!
The training I was supposed to go to in Witham next week has so far today been cancelled, been reinstated, been cancelled, been relocated to Mildenhall and is now 'on hold.' As it's a four day training course I kinda need to know to arrange care for cats, travel and to wean myself off teh internet (I def need a laptop!)
Hee - I was doing some background reading today prior to writing a report (putting it off, 'cos it's a really manky report and I'm struggling) and the research was around internet paedophile/sex offences - there was a questionnaire included that is apparantly used in some assessments - some of the questions were clear and logical as to the route/reasons for inclusion. Others were less conclusive ie "Have you ever spent more than 3 hours in one go connected to the internet" or "Have you made friends onthe internet who share your interests" (and these aren't specific SO questions at this stage). And then there are the truly obscure - such as "Can you remember speaking with someone who wears glasses" and "Have you ever been for a drive in a car" - I mean what the hell?
None of it helped in the writing of the report though,I spent best part of the day finding other things to do, walking aimlessly round the building, or staring blankly at the screen not wanting to start. bleurgh.
Um. Anything else?
