SO it's Jan 4th and we are all back at werk. I am staring at piles of work I have to start to shift again and have neither the will nor the brain to do so. I feel like doing a Reggie Perrin surrender:

You and me both Nick.

...and problee another few other million too.
Have we actually still got a few million actually in employment? rubschin:
I did some werk every week in December. That's a first for me tbh. Last week is normally the quietest of the year but I was actually fairly busy, so, this is just a continuation week for me.
I'm looking at a bit of a new challenge and diversification away from my current work this year though. Motor trade are doing me swede in. Banghead

Are you going into soft furnishings?

subtle ;)

Are you going into soft furnishings?
Possibly, yes. Had I already mentioned it?
Other plan as well. You need to look ahead and have contingency plans.
I think this year is going to be tougher than last tbh.

Was a bit tough getting up this morning to the shrill sound of the alarm clock tearing out my ear drum noooo:
Usual crap at work
No heating - building is ffffing freezin
Computers so slow that it's lucky it hasn't gone through the window
It's Monday , It's back at work after the crimbo break, it's cold - it's what you'd expect really Shrugs:

I have just dragged two reluctant boys from their beds and announced that "Home School Restarts Today" ~ mucho groaning.
rubschin: Do they think I enjoy it?
Because TBQH I can think of better pleasanter things to do with my time than trying to beat the principles of working with irregular fractions/French verbs and the basics of physics into reluctant brains. Banghead

Well I took on the task so I have to see it through but frankly I can hardly remember half of it myself and the other half I do automatically, without thinking about it, as do we all. Trying to dredge up sensible and understandable explanations as to why i should go before e except in exceptional cases and which French nouns are feminine and which masculine taxes me at times.
The trick with teaching seems to be having the ability to read the book one page faster than the pupils. ;)

It didn't. Done. Five pound denominations right up to 200 snotters for easy reference at a glance like. happy088
Gonna ring the bloody tax man now. That WILL end in tears, guaranteed, and it'll be ME that's going to cry...profusely.

My day started with a nice full inbox and an email stating:
Thanks for the work you did for us last week, we wish to send out a similar communication on Jan 4th. If the table of customers is ready by 10am could an email be deployed early afternoon.
I reply:
We normally require 3 to 5 days to turn around such a piece of work. Fortunately there is little in the plan for today and I shall liase with the relevant people to confirm that it is possible.
30minutes later:
Could someone please let me know if this is achievable as nobody seems to be bothered to reply.
Me:
I refer you to my earlier email confirming that I will action this work and I am checking with those in the ecommerce team that they are able to meet the deadline. Your earlier email referred to a table of customers to target, can you tell me if this has been completed as I can begin to process the required criteria?
Twatface:
The table will not be ready until tomorrow, I hope this wont cause any issues.
point:
My reply though may come back and bite me on the ass:
Thankyou for confirming when the table will be ready. However, we will have slight issues in deploying an email today to a targeted base of customers that will not be decided until tomorrow. I shall spend the afternoon working on time travel, though if achieved I can't promise that I will be here as opposed to placing bets on last years sporting events.
Banghead
All that holiday, wasted!

Day 2: My little department of three ~ yesterday we had on member of staff off because his son had an 'inset day' Today he should be in, not arrived yet. But the other member is off because her baby daughter is unwell.
-
You would think in this day and age people would nurse and nurture their jobs ..... just to make sure they are still there next month. Continued absences for pathetic reasons will only serve to prove that the department can function without them and when the axe falls they will be astonished.

Well even though I REALLY don't fancy driving up the no doubt gridlocked slightly snowy M56, I'll have to, as I won't earn anything if I don't.
Self employment>>>>>simple but highly effective cure for bone idelness and a bit of lead swinging ey? ::)

Somebody in my 'team' couldn't make it from Bootle to Speke despite me making it from Crewe.
This same individual didn't make the two days she was required to werk between xmas and new year (due to having used all her holidays) claiming to be ill. Strange that she was well enough for her party on the first night to which she invited colleagues.
Idiot.
What pisses me off is that the company doesn't suffer, it's the rest of us that have to cover her (very nice) arse.
Ahhh, forgiven! redface:

I do not evil:
If I am due in work I will be there. Only had 3 days off sick in the last 4 years and as a single parent have not taken any time off sick because of madam being poorly - we don't have parental leave allowance either
-
Simple solution to the brat being poorly (worked for me as a kid) find the worst tasting medecine you can and give them it. It didnt matter how ill we felt after that there was no way we were ever going to say we were poorly. sick2:

As long as you're not dressed as Mrs Nick you will be safe ;)
