interesting development at work. Boss asked some common sense questions, leadership team didn't really have answers. Looks like things may not be as doom and gloom as we originally thought, so thats awesome. I don't love the company but I do love the boss and they'll pay to upskill my unqualified ass so thats worth something.

General manager is resigning.
Big blow. He's one of the reasons I like it here.
Goddamn it.
Oh damn. Too soon, feels like you've just barely started! Any chance you can follow him to where he's going?
Something odd happened last week.
He reached out to offer some mentoring because he felt that maybe it would help, which I agreed to.
He must have known he was leaving last week already. Curious to see what this will be about.
so your still meeting before he leaves? interesting.
I think you'll find you don't need mentoring. From what I heard your project management experience was second to none. all your skills in fact. Glowing report really.
A very glowing report!
Yeah I'm super curious to see what this is about. I don't think he's being asked to do it, I think he was offering because he's a good dude.
I'll keep you posted. First meeting is Friday.
Hopefully not overeaching but he's not mentoring you to be his replacement or to take on another role?
That's what I'm wondering. We'll have to wait and see.
Just going off on a tangent, how's your new car going?
So far so good! It's so nice to have it. Makes life so much easier!
Friend said let's meet at 1. I ask her if she's sure. She says yes. It's 1:46 and I'm still waiting for her. I knew I should've arrived at 2. She waited a million years for a bus so she didn't have to walk, when she could've walked. Grr.
Does she wear tight/fashionable/high heeled shoes? Was I wearing such, I'd wait a million years for a bus rather than walk and cripple myself. If, on the other hand, she wears comfy shoes - that's a different dynamic.
She's wearing sneakers right now. Just too "lazy" to walk. I hate calling people lazy but she takes pride in it.
i have fam who don't call it lazy, they think they are being smart
People who take pride in being lazy don't make good friends.
I'm assuming she's just arrived if you know she's wearing sneakers.
Does that mean you're going to spend time with her then?
Did she have the courtesy to say that she'll be late?
Think it's a bit rude as well making you wait due to walking/bus thing.
Yep she said she was still in bed when I arrived.
omg
That would be a wonโt meet ever again for me
Hm still not great.
Hopefully it's not a consistent thing that happens all the time.

I'll have some golden syrup pudding and a side of golden syrup dumplings please.
๐ฏ๐ฅง๐ฏ๐ฅ
I think RR forgot to mention the custard with that pudding.
Isn't custard just a given?
In my household it is.

Here's the recipe for Golden Syrup pudding
Got no argument on the recipie - it's very similar to the one I use. But. They left a lot out in terms of method. Feel free to ignore this if you already know the details.
too much information
Where it says 'cover with baking paper' - it means butter the paper well, put a finger width pleat in that cover paper, then add a similarly pleated sheet of tinfoil on top and tie around just under the rim of the pudding basin with string - there's a reason pudding basins have a substantial rim. It's a good idea to make a handle by tying the ends of the string together over the top - this greatly eases removing the pudding from the water later without burned fingies. The pleat prevents the pudding from exploding and covering the kitchen with hot golden syrup. Ask me how I know. No don't. It's embarrassing. And I had guests over at the time.
Set a timer to check for more boiling water every 15 mins - and ONLY add water that's freshly boiling from the kettle. I like using a stockpot rather than a saucepan - and use a shallow trivet on the bottom under the basin for better water circulation.
Some very good points there. I can only go on what my Nana used to do and what I remember. Yes, she used a trivet and a stockpot. I think she used brown paper for the top. She also wrapped the pudding bowl in calico (pudding cloth) like you do for boiled pudding because it's easier to get out of the boiling water. Also I'm sure she added a small amount of ginger powder.
Ginger powder sounds wunnderful. Yep you can do a full body wrap of the basin with the knot on top, but string only also works. Any paper (not newspaper) will work for the cover if greased up with butter. Baking paper doesn't need greasing so much.
I've been complimented on my mug today.
Gave me a nice little laugh.
oh gees, I thought you meant your face ๐น
Haha, me too!
Haha oh trust me. Nothing worth complimenting on my face.
Show mug!!
Awesome!
