May, to give you more context, if your business getting stock on a product you'd done tens of thousands of pound in trade on depended on doing that, would you A. do it, or B. say close the account?

Oh, you absolutely should do it. I'm just saying that humans are irrational and we're always failing to do things that would take very little effort and get us lots of money!
Today I put into practice a communication model we were taught yesterday. It's called SBAR: Situation, Background, Assessment and Recommendation. I think it's used all over the place but obviously I was learning it in the context of midwifery practice, so mostly for handing over the care of labouring women or making phone calls. This morning I had to ring up my university to give the name and student number of the girl who will be collecting my uniform on my behalf to the woman who distributes the uniforms. Normally I'd be all flustered and anxious about it, but I just used the model and it worked perfectly! Perhaps my Professional and Ethical Practice module isn't entirely boring waffle.

Today I learned that the little bumps on your tongue are not taste buds, they're fungiform papillae - which means "mushroom shaped nipples" in Latin.

at work I pre-fillout my portion of forms when new employees have to sign paperwork. At the class the other day I decided to have my backup proctor the class so she could get some experience. One of the new employees asked where my last name originates from (I have yet to meet anyone outside of family with my last name). She told them and they said "the way he draws his "1s" look like he's from that part of the world. Considering my family came to the US 141 years ago I just found out I apparently write like my literate ancestors

Pretty much any model that makes you prepare for a phone call, meeting etc. will make it go better. At a minimum, jot down the things you want to say before you pick up the phone. Best, of course, for any "business" matters is to maintain a log of all your communications, but that's a bit of a counsel of perfection.
