Boiler Details?

First day back at work and I had to set up boiler policies. Not too bad, except that many people ringing in did not have the details of the boiler with them. ‘It doesn’t say you need that’, I was told on several occasions. Surely it’s common sense that you need to supply the boilerContinue reading “Boiler Details?”

Back To Work Tomorrow

I have really enjoyed my time off work this past week. As normal it has gone by too fast. Bit of a stupid comment that. Time passes at the same rate whenever and wherever. It’s just that when you’re relaxed you don’t notice the passing of time, hence it seems to go by quicker. WhenContinue reading “Back To Work Tomorrow”

Happy Eostre!

Yes, that’s right. Eostre not easter. Easter it may be commonly known as, but it certainly isn’t christian. But then most so called christian holidays aren’t christian. The date of Eostre is not fixed, but is governed by the phases of the moon, a tradition dating back to ancient times. The celebrations would include theContinue reading “Happy Eostre!”

Time Off Coming To An End

Well my annual leave has finished. I now just have the bank holidays and the weekend. It has gone rocket fast. Like a speeding bullet train. Like the speed of light. Anyway, you get the picture. Didn’t write anything yesterday. I was too busy. Finished my annual leave on nice note though. Saw two oldContinue reading “Time Off Coming To An End”

Am I Lucky To Have A Job?

Watched a section of This Morning about a woman on £70 000 benefits a year. Granted a third of that goes to her 3 children in grants, etc, for studying. She reckoned she gets over £2000 a month but has less than £200 to live on after paying the bills. She has worked most ofContinue reading “Am I Lucky To Have A Job?”

Improving Weather

Haven’t been out today. Been too busy at home. I can see the snow is melting though. I’ve also had post today. The first time since Thursday. It’s funny how certain people don’t work in bad weather. We’ve had no post for a few days, the bins haven’t been emptied. My street and the surroundingContinue reading “Improving Weather”

First Working Day of Annual Leave

Decided to go shopping. Only had a few things to do in town. As usual I forgot half of them! Still, had a nice morning. Treated myself to breakfast in BHS. I was thinking about cinema as well, but it’s freezing out there. Maybe later in the week. The snow is starting to melt nowContinue reading “First Working Day of Annual Leave”

Absence Due to Bad Weather

I’m so glad I’m not at work this week. Apparently this snow is due to stay for a few days. It makes it awkward going shopping and getting things done outside of the home, but at least I can walk into the nearby towns. Work is a bit too far away to walk. When weContinue reading “Absence Due to Bad Weather”

Email

Further to my recent blog about positive future developments, the company has now decided to enable the call centre to test out having email. You may wonder why we don’t have email. We do too. In this day of modern technology you’d have thought that we should be able to email documents to customers. OrContinue reading “Email”

You’ve Just Given It To Me

A customer phoning our call centre today informed me that he was calling to get more information on a product featured on our internet page, for £71. I asked him how I could help him, to which he asked, ‘could you give me the price?’ My answer? ‘You’ve just told me the price!’ ‘Oh, right’,Continue reading “You’ve Just Given It To Me”
