Admin at the Call Centre

I paid a visit to our admin department today. This is a very rare occurance. It was done to try and improve communication between departments. What an eye opener it was too… In the call centre we often view admin as a basic department where application forms are processed and cheques banked. It was niceContinue reading “Admin at the Call Centre”

Beautiful Sunshine

I was out in the gorgeous sunshine today accompanied by 5 packets of tissues, a nose spray, and eye drops. My hayfever has been horrendous all day. My nose is so sore, it feels like it’s been scraped all over with a razor. Spent the day at my daughters place. My two year old grandsonContinue reading “Beautiful Sunshine”

Back At Work

Back at work today. In tomorrow as well. Had the obligatory back-to-work interview, with the usual interrogation: What was wrong? Did you go to the doctors? What did the doctor say? What caused it? Is there anything work can do to help? Will it happen again? Is it likely to reoccur? I said it wasContinue reading “Back At Work”

Call Me Dopey

Third day off sick now. Throat is feeling a little better. Still on the paracetamol but I won’t be taking any tomorrow. I’ve not had much today for that matter. Not good to have too much of it. Dangerous in fact. It can have an adverse effect on the liver, and it can be addictive.Continue reading “Call Me Dopey”

Sick

Not been at work today. My sore throat hadn’t disappeared this morning, in fact it was worse. It seems that I have a bit of a throat infection made worse by my hayfever. I’m supposed to take paracetamol and stay indoors out of the pollen. We’re very busy at work at the moment so myContinue reading “Sick”

Feeling Rough

Woke up with a throat feeling like it had been rubbed with sand paper. Not sure where this has come from. Stress? Possibly, after what’s been going on at work. Hayfever? Another strong possibility. I’ve had a few paracetamol so hopefully this will clear up quickly, although it’s been there all day. Mowed the lawnContinue reading “Feeling Rough”

Back on the Diet

That’s right, I was back on my diet this week. I’ve lost 5lb since Monday. I think the stress at work over the last few days might have something to do with the figure. Today is my day off. I have treated myself today, but I’ve also done loads this afternoon to work some ofContinue reading “Back on the Diet”

Long Term Service

I remember when I started work, many years ago, I was advised that it was always better to work at a company for a few years and then leave for a better job and more money. I followed this advice for quite a while, until I found my present job that paid loads in commission.Continue reading “Long Term Service”

Chinese Whispers

We’re having a lot of changes at work at the moment. There were briefings given out last week while I was on leave, so I’ve yet to get the full details. I have been given a brief overview by our lead agent, and also the opinions of my colleagues. I seem to be getting differentContinue reading “Chinese Whispers”

Big Brother Is Watching You

As my job involves taking phone calls to make the company money it’s not surprising that they want me to take as many calls as possible. To this extent I, and my colleagues, are watched or monitored. We are allowed a specific amount of time for lunch, break, and personal. Personal time can only beContinue reading “Big Brother Is Watching You”
