searching for a new job. Find one I think looks pretty interesting. Discover itās run by a religious charity and realise that I would probably struggle to work there. The search continues.

Giving up some time while on holiday in Oz to prepare for, and do, an interview by video conference with London (they could not wait until I returned). Get home to find feedback: You came across really well, asked good questions, but lacked a little ādriveā.
I was near the end of a three week fucking holiday you fucking fuckwits.

After taking early pay-off from my career job, I worked a few years as a part-time temp at Soton City Councilā¦never more than 3 days a week. Feedback on my time in one postingā¦I lacked āfocusā 
Hahahaā¦no shit Sherlock.

90% of being successful in Employment is Looking Busy and Appearing Interested. I have that down pat! The other 10% is Doing Work, and that is where I fall down.
āIt was only when I sacked every other bastard, that I realised you were the one not doing anything.ā
That is the kind of mentality you need to engender in ur Employer.

Ur employees are just the same, I guarantee it. They laugh at you behind ur back, they call you āThe Mugā. Every time you give them their paycheck, they snicker to themselves, and do Hi Fives.

This is true - everytime I turn to try and catch them they look all innocent like at the ceiling.
My take away is to never play poker with them.

I put the general rubbish bin out this morning instead of the recycle bin, which was only 3ft away from the gate. The bin men could have easily emptied the recycle bin instead but didnāt bother.
cnuts!
Driver of small Japanese cars. Seriously, no one will mind if you get close to the speed limit. In fact we would be fucking delighted.

A couple of observations from my morning:
Iāve heard it say, the customer is always rightā¦ no theyāre fuckinā not !!!
If a customer insists on going with their fathers opinion against the advice of an professional with 20 years expertise they will sign a waiver of responsibility
Grrrrrrrā¦
Thats off my chest now, thanks all for listening
Details please Steveā¦
Oh just some silly man whoās dad said itāll be perfectly fine to lay tiles on to an mdf floor when I know theyāll be fucked after a year ā¦ all to save Ā£100 max on ply wood.
Heyho told them what I think, covered my arse in writing so itās not my problem
ā¦ except I donāt really feel comfortable about it but Iām a bit far into the job now to walk.
Now I appreciate that Southampton City Council are trying to make the most of our historic heritage to drum up tourist business. however why did you embed inscriptions in the pavement on the way from the bargate to town quay - now we have to dodge said bloody tourists when they stop dead in front of you to read the fecking things

Sunday lunch at friends. Aperitif time. Hope it wasnāt the pastis, probably it was the bloody pistachios. Apocalyptic shock, casualty, adrenalin to restore blood pressure to more than a fractional figure, two days recovery ward, one on general. Now all the crap starts of reading food packets, or wondering in restaurants if the salad has my number.
Brilliant coincidence though. Same friends were watering our garden when we were away last year, lady was stung three times by an asiatic hornetā¦Shock, casualty, adrenalin, recovery ward, etc. So she got her retaliation in - but thankfully she also had some cortisone pills on hand.

Hope youāre fully recovered. How do you suddenly become allergic to nuts? Or anything for that matter? Maybe someone poisoned you, have you considered that?

Why oh why do I insist on ordering a large pizza and then try to finish in under 10 minutes.

The frustrating thing about alergic reactions is you usually donāt know what caused them the first time or if they are going to happen again.
I got a head to toe rash after drinking 3 pints of HSB. Fuckinā nightmare thinking I wouldnāt be able to drink one of my favourite tipples so I went out and tried it again a few days later without any reaction.
Never did find out what caused it. Probably unlisted cabbage traces in a bag of Walkers crisps.
