Question 1: If you have a meeting you need to look formal for in the morning and a bit of fieldwork you need to dress down for in the afternoon and a need to feel warm trudging around and getting trains what do you wear?
This was the question for today.

Question 2: If your daughter has bought you tickets for a gig on the upcoming Seth Lakeman tour for your forthcoming birthday and that gig is in one city, but Eliza Carthy is playing a small venue in the town where you live finishing half an hour before the other starts what do you do? Should you risk it, and get tickets for Eliza Carthy aswell, (just leaving a little early), or just be greatful you are getting to see one wonderful folk gig that evening?
That was the question for yesterday

Question 3: If somebody takes some general footage at a LGB, (or other) event where some people may have good reason not to be seen should they automatically be able to show it to others and possibly up load it on You Tube without checking with those present at the event first? Is it our responsibility to check how footage will be used or the responsibility of the person taking the footage to tell everybody first?
That was the question that emerged the day before

Question 4: If somebody is part of multiple youth groups, but not part of the youth group at the church they attend and an event is cancelled due to bad weather which one of the various youth leaders involved has the responsibility to diseminate the information to said young person? Is it better for all to do so or for one person to have clear responsibility for that person? How do you make sure that said young person does not find themselves being left out of the loop?
That was a question earlier in the week

Question 5: If you have a child who is getting to school some of the time and trying to do what she needs to, but when they get there often seeks to isolate themselves because they can't cope with the classroom -and so is a classroom refuser rather than a school refuser much of the time what do you do? Do you encourage them to get evidence of being a school refuser because then the mechanism for home schooling can kick in or do you seek to make them go into the classroom because a half way house works for nobody?
This is an ongoing question

Question 6: If you know how the rules should work, but recognise it's more complicated than that what do you do? Do you deny your calling or deny who you are? Similarly when you know others in that position do you encourage them or call on them to be who they are not? When do we need to be who we are not, or pretend others are who they are not out of respect for others?
Another ongoing question

It's been an interesting week for questions......many of which have no easy answer. Alot of postmodernism may be nonsense but I've realised it's real enough for us to have to deal with the decisions it brings with it.
