Back at work after a break and it's shit.

Today is my first day back after my recent holiday and, if I'm completely honest, it's shit.

I finished at 3pm on Friday Oct 7th so that means I was away from work for 17 glorious days.

The laptop got left in a locked desk drawer and the phone got switched off and thrown in the boot of my car - Bliss.

But now I'm back...

753 emails (I swear that number's genuine), 27 voicemail messages on my desk phone and a further 56 on the mobile.

A good percentage of which was unsolicited rubbish but which still needed to be waded through and binned, nonetheless.

Tedious.

And on top of that, a monumental pile of other shit has accumulated which I need to deal with urgently.

I walked into Reception at 07:00 am today and before I'd even signed in, I was greeted by one of my team who had somehow managed to lock the keys in the work's van with the engine running.

And of course, his first course of action was to come and find me, presumably in the hope that I could wave my magic wand and make it all better for him.

You know how I've come to realise that I hate children?

Well, I'm starting to feel the same way about work and the people who report to me.

It's all a bit shit.

Any suggestions for things to do to cheer myself up?

Cheers.

Put all the shit down on your desk that you have got in your hands, lock the laptop back in the desk drawer and turn phone off and dump in the boot and fuck off on another holiday.

Whilst that is indeed a very tempting suggestion, I fear that they would then stop paying me and I would quickly end up living in the shed with the dog, surviving on rain water and whatever I could scrape from the underside of the lawnmower.

So not really viable in the long term.

Thanks anyway.

Scott and Boggers would take you in.

I'll stick with the other rats in the shed, ta.

Works for me.

Off topic KP, I went for lunch to Angelo's on Sunday and the owner with the impending sexual charges has sold up and moved on, it's completely new ownership now.

I've never been in but never really looked busy when I used to go jogging past there although you couldn't see much through the door and window with the lighting being dim etc.

Has he been on trial yet? I always saw girls working in there of high school age.

Probably a good thing he sold it TBH as word would have got round and then people would just boycott the place.

Word had got round to a degree and a couple of girls had left, probably on the say so of the parents.
Not as good now in fairness more geared to evening, the daytime offering is limited and expensive

If you two ladies want to set up a date with each other, start your own thread.

Happy birthday, WGO, by the way.

You knob.

I called my Mum last night and my Dad answered (which is very rare). 'She's at Fiddlers, its girls night' he said. The he explained thats what he calls Angelos. Ho... ho... he hasn't made me laugh like that in years.
