A 40 mile round trip to a job, only to become so overexcited/distracted by a football game that my days productivity = ÂŁ40 :lou_sad:

won’t give a fuck if we win tho’ :lou_sunglasses:

I was fucking useless at work today too. So wish I had fucked it off and gone up there.

Ive got a cold. Not man flu. A cold. What is the fucking point of a cold? It is not a proper illness. It is just messy and totally pointless.

The traffic into Southampton over the last week or so - WTF is going on?

Admin people or what seems to be business support now (though I don’t call where I work a business). I used to be one of those admin people. I will probably have to think about how I was but I am sure I wasn’t as bad as the ones at work.

No one actually knows what they do as they do not really support. Needed to get money today so completed a form on the pc, printed it off, manager signed it. Took form to admin. Sorry it’s on 2 pages it HAS to be just on one. Gave me one to fill out by hand. Go back to manager get it signed. Take to admin. Is person who needs money in the building? Er no. Well take it away and bring it back later otherwise we will lose it (their desks are covered in paper work). We are meant to be a paperless office. Finally get cash but have to sign a bloody note book too.

This is the rubbish that makes me want to leave these work places.

Turned up at the garage to get my car serviced

4 people on the service desk doing fuck all, but I have been allocated to some one who has decided to disappear, probably having a shit.

I am in a rush and the other four dickheads are refusing to help because they are waiting for their allocated customers to arrive.

who ever invented this system is a fucktard of the highest order

Just picked up and swept up some more rice, from opening another resealable rice, and it splitting. Why do they not open properly! I’m just going to do the old trick and pour the rice into a container, until they sort this issue out.

This is really bugging me now!

Bought a fancy bag of tea today – Milk Oolong.

“Milk oolong, sometimes called silk oolong, has a unique taste of sweet milk and light orchid…”

How is that a helpful tasting note?

  1. I don’t know what orchids taste like
  2. If I now get a taste for them, I’ll be frustrated in my hunger as they’re protected by law

They’re basically inviting me to taste Pandora’s Box.

We have a persistent annoying flat roof leak so I was going to move some stuff to safer areas in my brickbuilt shed…

I take out the first box and the fucking floor is wet out there where it’s seeping up through the concrete floor, so I’ve had to bring more stuff in than I took out.

Believe it or not, I reckon I’ve found worse. Warrington. I love the people of Warrington, and while it would be unfair to say they live in a shithole, the town and surrounding areas are a bastard for travel.

The town has always had some bottlenecks. Got a mate who lives in Stockton Heath who has to negotiate the infamous Latchford Swing Bridge, which frequently removes a perfectly good crossing when boats are going up the Ship Canal, causing tailbacks for anyone trying to get in and out of the south side. “Use the M56!”, my mate once implored me when giving me directions to his house. Probably would have been easier.

These days, things have gotten a load worse for a few reasons. First, they’ve set up huge retail parks on both motorway junctions into the town. Perhaps more significantly, multinationals, clearly noting Warrington’s in-the-middle-of-everywhere status, have set up huge distribution centres there too. IKEA have their big North West store here too.

Up until this week, I was setting off for work at around 6:15am in the morning. Motorway completely clear, until you get to Warrington. Then you’re doing 60 mph max, at 6:46am! Things are even worse in the town centre. Now I’ve waited six minutes at a set of lights before, but I’ve been in a queue. I’ve never had to wait that long when I’m actually at the lights.

I haven’t driven regularly for a bit, but I have used the M62 as a commuter route before. I just can’t believe how busy the North West is these days. It’s at or near capacity before 7am in the morning. There are half a mile queues on the sliproads on the way home. I know the M27 is as bad or worse. This country needs major transport infrastructure everywhere.

Have the builders knocking through our kitchen and dining room and building a lootility. They’ve installed 4 new rads which look the business, only they’re not doing the business, neither are the rest apart from bedrooms.

They couldn’t fix them today and the plumber won’t be out until next week.

Currently sitting in my Saints onesie that I swore I’d never wear…surprisingly warm.

Trouble is the builders are really good, and have even been making me tea so it’s hard not to get annoyed…still…first world problems eh?!

Had a meeting at 10 this morning to knock some sense into several squabbling employees - eventually got the to agree to play nicely going forward.

2pm - first complaint that one of the employees had just shafted one of the others.

i swear running a nursery would be easier

I feel your pain. I’ve got one of those who is toxic for team morale - trouble is that she’s too thick skinned to see she’s the problem.

Air in system? Have you bled them? The rads not the builders.

Every one bled, no air. The system was zoned so it might be something to do with however that worked before they fucked with the system…so I’m (un)reliably informed - cheers anyway Goat.

The builders have air in them judging by the state they leave the loo in…
