Day three (or is it four?)

by lyndlj @ 2008-07-23 - 17:53:57

It has taken three days of sitting right next to the boss that hasn't a clue and shouldnt be in charge zone leader to finally getting across my point that constantly placing me on inbound all day every day means my own work will be left and my own clients will be neglected, she pulled me into a 'private' chat just before I finished work to let me know that she had decided that I could spend all of tomorrow on my own work, that she could see that I had been trying to get my work done despite being one of the very few that do not log out every two minutes, we had a little chat about the 'other' staff and she has said that there are going to be changes as she has noticed quite a lot this week since the teams were split like who does all the work and who skives off this has led to a reassessment of what she did not say :roll:

Not that I can see it making much difference but one lives in hope!

Anyway as you may have guessed I have had a rough two days at work meaning I have been very tired when I have got home and even the studying has suffered, feeling tired tonight but not as bad, though I was up at the crack of dawn as I couldn't sleep.

One more day and I have three days off, whooo hooo, am looking forward to that, so how was you tuesday and wednesday?

Who knows?

Tuesday, the week is into it's second phase, or is that day? I guess that depends on which religion you are in or which calendar you follow, Sunday is actually the first day of the week and Saturday the last, though Friday is traditionally the end of the working week, so if we go by that Tuesday is actually the third day of the week and not the second day of the week, however it is viewed, it is half way through my working week as I have friday and saturday off so only two more days to go after today.

Are you confused yet?

Never mind soon be the weekend ;)

Right off to get ready for the day, one must do ones best whether one likes it or not, have a great day and I want to hear all about it when I get back :)

I decided to take a stand back and look at why I feel so dissatisfied with everything at the moment.

You see I enjoy dealing with people, I love people, so it has to be who I work for, it seems that who I work for is part of the problem but not all of it, the place I work in is depressing, there is no actual daylight as the room I work in has no windows, not good, I love people, but, I have lost count of the amount of times that I have had to tell people that they cannot put anything and everything on their income and expenditure as this is supposed to be a true reflection of their financial situation, some of tem really do like taking the p..etunias.

There is a wealth of difference between those in genuine financial difficulties and those that just want to get away with not paying back what they have had and spent, and it is the genuine ones that suffer because of the others.

So thats three things so far, the people I work for, the place I work and some of the people that I have to deal with, the solution I guess is to find a job where I am dealing with people, somewhere that has windows and where they are in genuine need, apparently this is not as easy as it sounds, still hopefully the right job will come along, eventually.

Anoher Monday draws to a close, and how was your day?

Three days of nufink

by lyndlj @ 2008-07-21 - 08:11:06

Monday morning and back to work, here is how things have been since Friday.

Friday was planned to perfection, I started work an hour early so I could finish an hour early, son would take wife to restaurant I would babysit and watch film I had just acquired, lunch time the plans remained the same. I arrived home expecting everyone to be ready to be greeted with, we have changed our minds? 8|

This is typical of my Son (I dont know where he gets it from!:roll: ) Instead they or rather he, made a meal for the family instead. I have to say that I have a budding chef on my hands, he made Salmon in lemon butter (which he also made himself)served with New potatoes Asparagus and green beans, followed by gataue and cream. The Salmon was perfect, and I am very fussy about salmon, we had champagne, and coffee, lovely :)

Saturday started quite badly when I discovered that my last bit of money had been taken by BT, who were not supposed to take it unitl the first of the month, August that is, added to the fact that we had just been through yet another cock up of theirs, they sent my bill to the old address then cut me off for not paying it, just the latest in a long line of cock-ups since April!>:-[

The rest of the day wasn't too bad, did some wow'ing and some studying.

Sunday was mostly WOW'ing on Saturday I had boosted someone through a dungeon and on Sunday my son and his wife took it in turns to play booster to our lower characters through some other dungeons, so quite a lot of WOW'ing and some studying and I was cook for the day so inbetween I made tea etc.

So that was it, my weekend, boring wasn't it? :roll:

How was your weekend?

A year ago today

by lyndlj @ 2008-07-18 - 07:31:54

Today is a special day in our house, a year ago today I and they were sunning ourselves in Great Yarmouth, well on this particular day we were too busy for that.

At this time I was walking on the beach, the children were still in bed, so was most of the household actually, except for me, it is strange how much I still miss the beach, guess that is where my spirit resides if that is so then I will find my way back there eventually.

The rest of the day was spent preparing for and being part of this.

Sometimes the thoughts that go through my head scare me just a tad, I guess that is what happens when you allow yourself to think too much, especially at a time when you should'nt be thinking at all :no:

I am determined that by the time my week off is over I will have a new job, if not, I dread to think what I might do.

Anyway it is friday tomorrow and I have the whole weekend off, and that I am really looking forward to.

Solution and Happy Birthday Sixpence

I went ot work in a positive mood, determined not to let the hierarchy bother me, as I signed in I got a full apology for the attitude of yesterday, I was stressed she said, yes I know.

Anyway we worked it out between us and I have got a long weekend booked and then a week at work and then a week off :)

Happy birthday to my lovely friend six

Only two weeks left to the closing date of the Writing competition, the entries so far can be seen here http://writingforfun.blog.co.uk
Come on you know you want to, ;)

Yesterday was not a good day, at work, I have tried and have been trying for the past week to book a week off, I just get told things like you can have the week off but not the monday, now how is that a week off? I got annoyed in the end and pointed out tht others give her less than a weeks notice and get the time they want, one particular person seems to get whenever she wants, I asked to finish an hour early on friday as my son is taking Caz out for their wedding anniversary ( which by the way is no longer a secret:roll: ) and I had to fight for it, this other person has asked for the day off, with a feeble excuse that we all know is not true and has got it, and yes I am annoyed>:(

If I dont take some time off soon I will be handing in my notice thats for sure :yes:

Anyway, hopefully I will keep my calm and today will be better :)

Right am off to sort the brat out :>

Be back soon

Easy monday

by lyndlj @ 2008-07-14 - 08:27:54

Monday mornings dont feel so bad when I am on this shift, I don't start until 11 so I have until half ten to 'do my own thing' and I finish at 7 so it is still early enough to do some more of my own thing, though i am often too tired for that.

Anyway, tis the start of yet another week and we are now halfway through another month, where does it go? On friday my son will have been married a year, it really doesn't seem that long since we were all away in Great Yarmouth! A whole year, my goodness, still there will be no holiday celebrations for the anniversary, we cannot afford it, though he is taking the lovely wife out for a meal, which right at this moment is a secret *SShhhhhhh*

good job she doesn't read this isn't it :))

Right am going to go have a bath whle they are all out taking the brat to school, catch you later have a great day:wave:

Oooooh get her!

Wel here I am sat on the sofa, with my coffee at the side of me, bloggin, on my brand new laptop, now it is not a mac or anything super mega like that, but it is centrino dual core etc, I had finally paid off the desk top and decided it was time I entered the 20th century along with all you other modern cats ;)

Not too bad a day at work and though the sun wasn't exactly cracking the flags at least it didn't rain.

And how has your day been?
