has the beeb accidentally given you a day off?

i went out to ask why the council workers all use stupid leaf blowers instead of rakes or any kind of implement that actually picks thing up instead of swooshing it around the gaff.... answer is that they aren't allowed to use manual tools anymore. Health and safety. Health and safety. Yes it seems that it bad for tradesmen to use the tools of their trade nowadays.

I watched them for an hour. It was quite relaxing actually. Apart from the unholy racket. They are like zombies staggering about. They don't seem to do anything but fire the crap in all directions. It really is a quite epic exercise in futility.

That is all.

Daily Mail type 'elf and safety scoop?

yeah it's like at airports the baggage handlers aren't allowed to handle baggage anymore.

the world's gone mad etc

Since 1am this morning i have had the same email sent to me over 40 times. That in itself is annoying enough, however when you see it is an email from a company called Bo-Vida, offering me the Danni Minogue Essential beauty box, reduced from £85 to £7.49 then it gets even more tedious.

That was obviously a big seller. Maybe if they targetted young women, instead of old, bald, non-make up wearing grumpy men they might sell a few more.

Sure, how many did you buy in the end?

1 set per email.

They could be targeting men in order for them to buy them for their ugly birds

Still not sure how that applies to me though?

Yeah, yeah Mr Smooth

Apparently our favourite Leeds supplier currently has a load of garys with 'Mr Smooth' printed on them

I've asked him to save me one for the collection

Clutch on the car is on its way out. Just had a minor heart attack after hearing what the bill will be.

The winter balls up plans may need to be sllimmed down slightly (not completely cut though)

That sounds nasty.

having space flu all weekend isnt fun.

Having to make people redundant because of other peoples incompetencies

The only part of the job I truly hate.

Going to and coming home from work in the dark.

Fuck off winter

Agreed. Although I went home early yesterday so it was late and came in late today so it was light.

So, the sex commune secretary has come in this morning after three weeks off sick and handed her notice in. Wont even work her notice. I feel sorry for the girl if she is really in such a bad place that she has to pack work in.

Or is it just a cover up so she can star in x-rated movies and be on the center page of readers wives again.

Either way thats proper fucked the next few months up for me.

What did she say is wrong with her?

Fandango Widewheels wrote:What did she say is wrong with her?

Her head isnt in the right place at the moment for work. Her cat died recently and she has an ill grandfather. Also her husband is depressed.

Terrible thing is depression, so not a lot we could do really. I offered to help in anyway I could by reducing her work load, reducing hours, basically offered her everything to make her stay but she simply said she couldnt face work.

Well if all that is true I think the rumours being flung around your office may not be.

Fandango Widewheels wrote:Well if all that is true I think the rumours being flung around your office may not be.

I concur.

At least the rumours amused us for a while

Fandango Widewheels wrote:At least the rumours amused us for a while

Yep. I am dissapointed they arent true to be fair. I may start them again about somebody else in the office.

I'm hoping this isn't the order she gave when explaining her depression? Though in all fairness it all sounds pretty awful for her. God bless your porn secretary. The sexy typewriting stayaway.

I spent a large part of my evening at the LGI in Leeds last night (poorly girlfriend, she's ok now thankfully) and can safely say that i have never been to a more badly organised establishment in my entire life. Nobody appeared to have a clue what they were doing or what was happening. I got there at 5.45 to hear a bloke saying he had been waiting since 12.30 to be seen but without any success. This wasn't the A&E department where i would expect this kind of wait. The nurse was telling him this was due to the doctor being called to an emergency appointment for a 12 week old baby at 5.30. Thats all well and good, however as he pointed out what about the 5 hours previous that he had been sat and ignored? It really was a shambles.

I stayed until half 9 and still no sign of a bed, which eventually came at 1am. No beds apparently. That old chestnut.

And then on my bus home someone was sick. Lovely.

Thats Leeds for you. An absolute shithole i would be more than happy to see the back of.

Gl;ad she is ok.

I think all hospitals struggle bed wise and staff wise. The hospitals I have been to always appear to be in chaos and I have only ever had bad experiences, except for when Junior was born. Although i am told we got extra special treatment as the head of the maternity unit is my boss's wife.

I am not saying in any way that hospitals are shit as I can appreciate they take some running and the jobs that the people do are vital.

I think it's just more frustrating when you are in the midst of it all. Some hopsitals fair better than others, i know when my ex was ill they were absolutely amazing, couldn't have done anything more for her so there are definitely some good ones about. It can't be easy to manage such a vast place but there should be something in place so that every department is being looked after by someone at all times.

Having a poorly boy and being up from 2 is not good.
