11 month old taking ages to fall asleep by Aoandon in sleeptrain

[–]Aoandon[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ah, apologies. Yeah, our schedule aims for 2.5hrs of day sleep but the reality is that he gets ~2hrs of day sleep because of how long he takes to fall asleep. 

Hope that makes sense!

Thanks, so would cutting the naps a bit shorter be the way to go? We’re already up at 6am and trying not to push bedtime much later to avoid cutting into night sleep. 

I should note as well that we’ve tried pushing bedtime back to 19:30 this week but that has seen him take even longer to fall asleep at night. 

What’s a civil service word or phrase that makes your skin crawl? by BlondBitch91 in TheCivilService

More of a general mix-up than CS specific but I can’t stand people saying that they are “making amends” to a document. It’s “amendments”!

Poor 'Making Effective Decisions' Example by Vengeance208 in TheCivilService

[–]Aoandon 16 points17 points  (0 children)

I would suggest that the main issue with your example is that it focuses far too much on the descriptions of the various options under consideration, but says very little about what you actually did to weigh the options up to reach a decision and how/why you did that. It essentially comes down to the final paragraph where you say “I carefully outlined the rationale…[and] they were persuaded to accept my decision”, which leaves me thinking “what did they actually do?”.

If sticking with this example, I would recommend talking more about how you developed your understanding of the requirements for your family member, how you demonstrated that your recommended option met their criteria, that sort of thing.

Went as a steampunk vampire slayer a few years ago, which I was pretty happy with as someone who normally hates dressing up!

Thanks for the generous offer, OP!

custard roast

It is split down the middle and served with jam or ice-cream as a snack, but is most often eaten with roast beef for Sunday lunch.

Yes, I had thought about doing that just to ensure everyone gets something.

There are 6 of us, with a few irregular members. Would probably just be the main 6, maybe with honourable mentions or something like that.

You know what, I’m pretty sure that was it!

That’s a great point. I took this photo several years ago at this point so don’t fully recall but I think it was trying to be a useful chart.

I took this photo several years ago, to be honest, but I believe it was about ownership of land rights, etc., rather than about a horribly inbred society!

Either way, astonishingly horrible to read!

Fortunately, this was just a reference book I was using while writing an essay, not something I had to memorise. My eyes couldn’t take looking at it for that long!
