After being on suspension for about 6 weeks, they fired me yesterday. I’m no longer bound by their contract so I’ll say what I damn well please now. They said I was rude to a customer and it was gross misconduct. I wasn’t rude at any point of the call. I didn’t swear and IContinue reading “I’ve Been Fired!”

Can’t Speak English. Really?
It’s been a while since I’ve posted due to lots of things going on. Lots of things happening – mostly good. Work is very busy at the moment. If we’re lucky we get chance to breathe. A young chap called me today on behalf of his mom. I told him I needed her permission toContinue reading “Can’t Speak English. Really?”

Seeing The Doctor
I had cause to make an appointment to see the doctor this past week. Sounds easy doesn’t it? The receptionist offered me a few appoints between 2pm and 4.30pm next week. Politely I declined and explained that I work full time and could they fit me in after 5pm. ‘We close at 5pm.’ I wasContinue reading “Seeing The Doctor”
POWER TO THE PEOPLE!
The British people have spoken! We have shown the country that we have more power than the idiots in the big buildings. This is as important as the vote to leave. We have said: ‘OUR MONEY IS FOR US’ And everybody needs to take note. It’s interesting to see the way various areas have voted.Continue reading “POWER TO THE PEOPLE!”
EFT
I have two weeks annual leave from today. I’d booked a course on EFT but unfortunately it’s been cancelled. I don’t think they had enough bookings. It’s saved me over £800 – course and hotel fees. However, I was looking forward to doing the course. And it would have been a nice break 😦 It’llContinue reading “EFT”
Enjoying The Sun
I’ve been off work for the last two weeks and have enjoyed the sunshine. Looks like summer has finally arrived in the UK. About time too. We’ve had some lovely weather during the last couple of weeks. I’ve sat in the garden working on the laptop and getting a tan. My daughter, who works fromContinue reading “Enjoying The Sun”
Moving Seats (Or Musical Chairs)
I have to work a certain amount of Saturdays in the call centre, and the last few months my department has been required to sit at other desks. This is because the department downstairs is required to sit upstairs with us, so they are given our desks! That’s right. We have to move elsewhere soContinue reading “Moving Seats (Or Musical Chairs)”
Buying Expensive Items
When buying a large expensive item it’s common place to do your research and you check out all the details of it before buying. You look at the model and what it’s capable of, it’s capacity, what it’s powered by, etc. Whether it’s a house, a car, a boiler, a washer, a computer, or anyContinue reading “Buying Expensive Items”
2016
Well Christmas and new year celebrations are now over and we are at the start of 2016. I haven’t made any new year resolutions as such, never seems much point as they last a few weeks and then you forget what it was. However, I do feel that this is the year to sort outContinue reading “2016”
