No intro today, I\u2019m just presenting it as a fait accompli.<\/p>\n
From:<\/span><\/strong> Kirsty Jordan <\/p>\n Hi All,<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n So, my scooter fell over again yesterday. I was at an intersection on a hill, looked to my left, and then felt the bike overbalancing sideways into the gutter. Luckily a chivalrous young gent in the car behind me leapt out to help me get it back upright. \u201cGolly gosh!\u201d, he said \u2013 or words to that effect \u2013 \u201cit\u2019s really heavy!\u201d, as we drifted gently into the path of an oncoming bus. Fortunately the brakes still worked, in spite of the levers being bent into a rather attractive curlicue, and I was then able to resume my journey, driving away with my mirrors askew. Possibly karma for missing the senior staff meeting?<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n And, that wasn\u2019t even the scariest thing to happen to me this week. On Monday I was on the phone at home, and was just brushing the hair out of my eyes when my oldest daughter (\u201cstudying\u201d) pointed at my face in horror. No surprises there, she\u2019s probably just realized how she\u2019s going to look in thirty years time, or so I thought. But then she shrieked \u201cSpider!\u201d, and I could see some legs cross in front of my left eye. Of course I screamed, dropped the phone, and managed to flick the offending arachnid off my face and onto the floor. It was enormous. I\u2019m a fan of nature but this was too close for comfort. When we\u2019d both calmed down, the lady on the other end of the phone was quite bemused.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Thankfully, tonight\u2019s departmental movie is not a horror but the latest Bond movie, Spectre. And tomorrow is our inaugural departmental strategy day, which Derek promises will not be like a very long senior staff meeting. I will certainly be there, possibly too afraid of being a target for fate once more.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Tuesday<\/span><\/u><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n A liver and\/or similar unidentified giblet coming out in OT 6.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n And that\u2019s it for me for another week. Wish me luck getting home.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" No intro today, I\u2019m just presenting it as a fait accompli.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_feature_clip_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":true,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2},"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-4281","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/pa8Ukf-173","jetpack-related-posts":[{"id":4164,"url":"https:\/\/accordingtokirsty.com\/index.php\/2020\/02\/04\/old-scheduling-email-30-oct-2015\/","url_meta":{"origin":4281,"position":0},"title":"Old scheduling email 30 Oct 2015","author":"Interloper11","date":"February 4, 2020","format":false,"excerpt":"I\u2019ve got most of this week off, although I\u2019m bucking the trend by coming back to work on Friday after the Waitangi Day holiday on Thursday (have to get that newsletter out - plus they\u2019ve got me working clinically because every other bastard is on leave.)
