One of my colleagues leaves tomorrow to begin maternity leave. She will be the second in two months. Our team is starting to get a reputation of pregnant women. There are wagers now on who will be the next to fall pregnant. You can count me out. I have one already born by c-section. IContinue reading “Maternity Leave”

The Customer Is Not Always Right
We’ve recently had a boiler promotion on at work. A promotion that ended at 5pm 02 april. The ending time and date was stated clearly on company website and on any advertisements, but of course we had people trying to take out the promotion today! They tried almost everything with me. Trying to make meContinue reading “The Customer Is Not Always Right”
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”
