Sitting in a telephone queue for doctors appointment at no 56... call back engaged. Last time it took 2 hours and no appointments available, yet again. I don't have enough time to hang around for calls. Taking the woof to the groomers as she is a shaggy beast and needs to be trimmed nicely, usual seven week appointment. Have a lie in (my day off today) and perhaps attend a tea later on if I feel like talking to people (unlikely). Look after daughter.

Yeah, got back just now - still gotta make the sodding bed

It's not 'unmade', it's 'airing'.

Wishing I was done with work for the year. I'm really feeling the need for a proper break, ideally never going back

Same. Do you also get those days when everybody in your close proximity at work seems to be extra fucking annoying? I do, I'm having one now.

Somebody just described themselves as burnt out. I think that sums it up nicely.

Meanwhile I'm about to go into an SLT. This fucking week. FFS. I may go Falling Down.

WTF is an SLT ?

SLT is usually the Senior Leadership Team.

Salami, lettuce & tomato

I'm just about to leave to meet friends for lunch.

As someone who took early retirement coming up to 2 years back,Supermarket trucking was peak stress,no holidays & minimum rest from early Dec to mid Jan,I've not missed the place for one minute & can relate to the 'Burnt out' comments.
Today Cal Mac published some of their Summer timetables so I'm starting to plan my tour for a couple of weeks in April/May

Yeah but that's why they get the big bucks and us minnows do all the work, so they can sit and talk bollox and put the world to rights.

Making scented candles for the wife

The stove and my hands are the colour of a Jag advert, it might not be as surprising as I had hoped

Just finished, well almost, tomorrows work from home stuff! So I have now finished and wont be back here until the 7th of January!

Just got banned from a facebook Wild Swimming page. No one could tell me what was wild about it as it was just called swimming by non pretentious folk. Last straw was telling them i am away for a Wild Walk to ALDI for some milk. I only joined 10 minutes earlier

Two, two hour jobs tomorrow then i have two weeks off. Hope the phone rings for a third job as the wife wants me to put a 2nd coat of paint in the spare room as her mother is up for Christmas. Oh the fucking joy

On nights. Started at 2200, 3 drunk drivers in RTC’s so far and it’s only 0150!

They probably wouldn't have liked being called 'tresspassers' or 'water/wildlife botherers' either.

Sat in Istanbul Airport and just been informed of a 5 hour departue delay. We were due to take off at 02:35.

This is not good - we have a train to catch in Hanoi 1.5 hours after our new scheduled arrival time. M is on the case but it's not looking good.
