Got let out of work early today as after months of increased referrals we have got it all to a manageable state. Probably get an increase just before school break up for Christmas. It should be quiet for a few weeks.
Oh my, I’m shocked!!
When you’ve been pushing a professional boulder up the hill for three months, get it to the top, and watch the little bugger roll down the other side beautifully.
Now your real issues start…
Everyone can now see you stood at the top of the hill admiring your boulder What they see is you stood there, hands on hips with a smug grin on your face and doing …fuck all.
If I were you, I would get back down the hill pronto and find a very small boulder to tide you over until the new year
I have felt a bit like that. I’ve been doing this automated pharmacy gig, on and off, for about 20 months now. I’ve always treated it as life and death, as one should, and began my career treading very carefully, the professional equivalent of walking on eggshells. Practically, that meant being wary of making big changes.
I have a lot less trepidation these days. The operators on the ground are shit hot, and can tell me whether anything has gone awry.
The QC system we have is nice armour too. It’s the opposite of ice-skating scoring. Basically, every med that goes down the line starts out fucked. Only by completing all required checks can it be considered good. If it’s not considered good, a pharmacist or ACT will eyeball that thing.
Accordingly, I’m less bothered about making big changes. I still worry though. You can’t not if you care.
Vindication is sweet.
Tuesday, we had a “row”. Mrs P_F got curtain rails. We hot home & said “I’ll get the tools you get the ladder”.
Why?
To put the curtain rail up.
No. I told you I will not do DIY stuff to a 1950s era blah blah.
“Oh she went batshit”.
Today the local handyman came round with a colleague. 90 minutes so far. Involving pipe detectors (she would have gone through the water pipe on her original plan. A special drill with stabilising jelly to stop the plaster breaking off.
Basically a full high tech/skill level project.
She just said, sorry. You were right.
Ah time for a pint of Ale to celebrate.
Tonight Tim Burgess tweeted back to me. I done Twitter now.
Who is Tim Burgess? I might know his uncle if he’s the one you’re referring to.
Lead singer of the Charlatans.
It’s deffo not him, not cool enough. Saying that, they’re not cool according to t’kids.
What a full life you lead Phil. 
Trust me.
Every day day of lockdown means zero outdoor interaction except stressful supermarket trips.
Just stuck inside a one bed apartment trying not to scream.
At least this week other shops opened maybe next week can actually go out to parks & stuff
Not in our league Phil…@Goatboy and I have paid for our tickets to see a very cool band at The Loft on 30th March. 
The dog has no doubt heard them all before. 
Wait.
England have drawn who in WCQ? DAMN. If only Sotonians had a man with an inside track.
Oh wait…
