What Made Me Smile today ...........................????

may have said before but i got zero days off over the christmas and new year period ( excluding w/e's but including christmas day) and to cap it all off our christmas party.drink which was planned for 6pm friday just gone at waterloo ( meaning i had to get home get showered and brushed up and get a train into london) was cancelled at 3pm friday afternoon just as i was getting ready to leave ......and people wonder why im saying bah humbug to christmas this year

 

For the first time in years, I have got some time off over the christmas period........main client is off to Bangkok for two weeks from 23rd December, another has just had a baby, so not needed there either for awhile. And tother one is just a miserable old bugger, but that is only one day a week, think I can cope with that.

 

you normally work christmas day????

 

Yup. You try getting staff to work that day. I usually wind up doing that and the Boxing day shift. And thanks to a quirk in the employment stuff, if it falls on a weekend, you only get weekend rate, which, is no more than the week day rate.....but hey, cant have everything.

 

well good for you getting out of it this year ...as we all know it falls on a sunday this year and im on 24 hour call for the 33 mcdonalds resteraunts that are open ...anyone remember going ut as a kid on christmas day and it was like the world had just stopped , empty streets.....damn you could almost hold a game of footie on the local high street....i swear this country has gone to the dogs and commercialism and greed has taken over.

 

I remember that all getting stuffed into a car to meet the rellies u only se at crimbo, loads of us and always those eat me dates on the table

 

Yeah, then you stayed sticky until bathtime at the end of the week.

 

9 bikes at the Oasis on a freezing cold, salty Sunday.

 

Just got in from a 1 hour sauna. Ahhhhh

 

Were there cars that far back?

 

Similarly, I just got in from 90 minutes of bikram yoga. Aaahhhh. (4 to go!)

Do wish this cold would f off though.

 

McDonalds are open on Christmas Day?!!! Oh I know why, that will be so the chavs can give their kids a special chrimbo dinner
Fingers crossed you don't actually get called out

 

Maybe she meant that cars hadn't reached Kent at that time?

 

You are? Ohh.....errrrr.........brilliant weather for this time of year isn't it

 

Received a photo of my little puppy...1 week old...

 

Sooo cute! I'm glad I'm just down the road from you... I shall be ensuring I get lots of puppy cuddles when you pick him up.
