Trevor,

Feel like taking the p*ss?

I have one of my least favourite nursing homes to do on Wednesday.

What I do not like about the job is that I always end up doing scattered areas, which involves moving the machine several times to various points around the large, rambling building to avoid having hoses crossing too many corridors.

On the last visit, totalling ten hours, I spent about three hours moving equipment.

Especially at this time of year I find it easy to fill cancellations, since there are always a number of customers who left the booking of the pre- Christmas clean too late and are only too pleased to have their January or February appointment brought forward.

If cancelled appointments happen to John after a 1000 years in the profession ;D then I feel better!

Sorry John, but you have regular clients/friends that have 'unforeseable' problems even when they are nurtured into your way of thinking makes me feel better. It just goes to show we are all human.

Hi Woodman

Can you not try to get another clients' appointment brought forward to fill Wednesday? You could try and offer a 10% discount to fill the cancellation. Then you will have more of a chance to fill the appoiontment you brought forward.........

Peter,

I find punctuation and grammar mistakes annoying in newspapers etc, but not on here. We are all human.

If you are going to correct folk on their mistakes, maybe you should look to yourself first. You don't need a full stop after a question mark as a question mark also ends a sentence.
Plenty of other examples gone by but you are only human!  ;D

Hi

When I first got involved with training many (too many) years ago one of the first things I discovered was the amount of people who suffered from dislexia and other related word difficulties.
Many were reluctant to come onto training courses because of this.... the NCCA took the initiative to deal with this and help is given to any delegate with any such difficulties... I believe other companies do likewise.

One such guy became a very valued Director of the NCCA and what's more became the editor of the Association's magazine Newslink for a time... thanks to the Microsoft publisher and spell checker system

There is no need to be afraid to post, The new moderator can spell but never bothers to correct his mistakes.  As he is speaking from the heart as you would in conversation.

Also he admits when things go wrong and in the past has told of his mistakes and problems on the Forum.

Thats the only way we all learn

Regards

Ian
