The white board

Steve instigated the use of the white board when he realised I was making friends here and going out.

I soon realised that if wrote a forthcoming outing on the board, Steve would find a way of stopping me going or coming along himself. I've stopped writing on the board unless it's a Drs appointment or something similar.

I've recently been contacted by an ex work colleague about a meet up. Once it is arranged I will not be writing it on the white board. I will tell Steve I'm going out about 10 minutes before I leave!

Best to try to stay as independent as possible. Hope you get to meet your old colleague.
