    Afternoon ladies,

    Kids are back at school so it was an easy day for me. Got them out the door the went for a walk in the north pennines with the dog. Followed that with a lazy afternoon phone shopping as I broke mine while out with the dog.

    Morning Losers!

    I'm knackered. Yesterday was a horrible return to work. My retard minion had emailed HR complaining that he'd worked 30 mins too much for the last 18 months, and that he wanted money back. Everyone asked why he didn't read his contract when he got it, but as it turns out it's only about 20 hours in total, we'll pay him to keep him happy (and the tax man).

    Today, I will keep seething at retard minion for several hours, and then I'm off over to Bury (again) to watch the mighty Shakers play Coventry. I hope it's a good match.

    Laters!

    Good Morning, well the wind and rain has been replaced by frost and ice i am not sure which of the two I prefer, beside that all is well in Lincoln
    Have a good day

    Bon evening workers and snowploughers!

    Tons of hard graft happening here, occasional manly use of the chainsaw kept me focussed.

    Just had awesome foods and a glass of red so feeling quite the mellow fellow.

    Evening all,
    I think Stevo's legs are tired from trying to keep his knees together for a change.
    Still suffering what would be a fatal bout of man flu for a lesser man, but being a complete hero I've even managed a marathon tossing session. Feeling fat and snoozy now after too many pancakes.

    Ash Wednesday

    Morning Losers!

    Tis the start of Lent today, so what's everyone giving up? I haven't decided on anything, and really can't be bothered with it. I'll try to do more exercise I think.

    Today, I have loads to be getting on with again. I like busy days, they do go quite quickly!

    After work, I'm over to Bury to have some bugger put some ash on me head, then I'm going to bed as I'm absolutely knackered.

    Laters!

    Well we made it out of the resort but it was a right pain having to fit the snowchains then take them off again 10 miles down the hill.

    Now sat in Geneva airport hoping that the plane will be on time and suffering from some godawful French form of man flu. May need to have a nap on the plane. Really not looking forward to lots of work tomorrow :roll:

    Thursday

    Morning Losers!

    Bit quiet in here isn't it!

    Well I got a b0ll0cking at work from one of the directors due to an issue regarding the number of hours my minions work (turns out they've worked 30 minutes a week too much). It wasn't really my fault, I did however find the problem, report it, discuss it, come up with a solution, and deal with absolutely every single part of it, yet I was labelled in the wrong. Go figure. And do I get my 30 mins back, or payment for all the ones I missed? Of course not, I just get a b0ll0cking.

    I hate my job.

    Laters!

    Morning all,
    I don't have a traditional Thursday morning hangover and I'm not happy about it. Felt too rough because of this man flu so wimped out of going drinking. It's not good enough. Now drinking tea and eating biscuits.
    Yes, murderise a few people TKM, starting with the directors.

    Evening men of lesbiscious tendencies,

    More manual labour, muchos tiredness. Didn't help that after a bit of a hardworking day i had to fetch 26 bags of plaster, gave the car and trailer a bit of a workout.
    Anyhoo I'm off for a shower.

    Veronese can take me off his blocked list now I'm back.

    My French lergy turned into full on man flu last night - lucky I had to come home early today anyway. Feel like another good kip will see me right, even if I probably wont be able to speak.

    TFI Fridayyyyy!

    Morning Losers!
    The weekend is so damn close now, you can almost smell it!

    I've had a shoot nights sleep. Before bed, I think I've pulled a muscle on my chest. It was really difficult finding a position that was comfy and that I could sleep in. I worried (well, I may have) I was having a heart attack, but I'm pretty sure it was muscle damage as I could stop it hurting by moving.
    Anywho, if I drop dead today, I blame Wiggle.

    Yeah Friday is somewhat mucked up by the youngest birthday and his genius idea to have dinner at Pizza Hut - you can't beat crap food on an industrial estate

    Another properly busy day but then again a 2 day week can't be bad :) Lergy almost shaken off, just a pity I've got loads to do this weekend.

    And I've booked another uplift day 8)

    Monging wonkers,

    Saturday in deepest, darkest France, finally a bit of rest after a busy couple of weeks. The renovation project has a first floor, still a long way to go though.

    In other news it is the local hunt banquet this afternoon which is basically a p1ss up!

    Morning Losers!

    No deaths by me last night, so all is good in the hood. Not sure we can say the same for Brucey though (a few of you are up for points by the looks of it!)

    bg, you sound like you're living the life of luxury and I'm very, very jealous!

    Today, other than appreciating a true Cruddie thread appearing over someone refusing to get a job and wanting us to pay for his retraining, I have more of a report to add to and watch the football this afternoon. That's about it really. Oh, and organise a telephone interview.

    Telephone interview? Are you being interviewed or doing the interviewing? If the latter do it from a busy pub and pretend it's office background noise.
    I'm lying low today as I feel like shit. Antibiotics wont have any effect for a couple of days so the weekend is pretty much a write off I suspect. If I get to the point I'm not turning my lungs inside out I'll be happy.

    The lergy seems to be receding now but still a bit knackered.

    Now sitting in Costa rather than watch junior torturing a musical instrument. Makes sense to spend the entry fee on coffee instead :) Got lots of jobs done but wifey is doing her best to lengthen the list :roll:

    Sunday

    Good sleep and thought I would have a cuppa before running and the heavens have opened! Still going to go, just not as much fun

    Day of indoor jobs by the look of it followed by a bit of local mountain biking with a pal. Later will be the pub

    Now then beetches tis a lazy sunday here mainly because the weather is rubbish.

    TKM it's quite knackering and the mrs keeps moaning about her retard minion, not sure who that is!

    Loafing and tv is the order of the day, waiting on the bottom feeder getting out of bed and sorting me some foods!

    Toodles.

    Afternoon Camel Toe Hunters,

    Managed a decent lie in and some lazing with the hound, followed by a spot of car fettling. Now doing a spot of Dads taxi and listening to the footy. Thai takeaway tonight, mmm :)

    This is both genius and unnecessary as my office sounds like a pub most the time anyway! Thankfully it's me being interviewed next week.

    Sounds worth it though, and I empathise with mrs bg13!


    Back to work Monday

    Meh Morning Losers!

    I've not had a bad weekend, which means returning to work is even worse! I've slept well, I've got shizzle done, and I just feel good.
    I have a telephone interview set up for next Monday evening, so I'll be spending most my time at work preparing for that, as well as doing work for somewhere else and, well, not doing what I'm paid to do basically. I'm ok with this.

    Laters!

    Morning clagnuts,
    Monday comes around way too quick for my liking. Didn't do much over the weekend as still feeling cr@p, starting to feel better as the pills are kicking in. Managed a beer at the rugby club yesterday, quite an exciting match but at least the boys team won. Several of them were carted off during the match and a full on brawl kicked off at one point.
    Poxy lights just went off in the office again, if I didn't turn the trip back on we'd be sat in darkness. Then my boss tells me not to get involved as it's somebody else's job. That's not much help it both of those people are off.

    Never mind lights going off, the bloody DPF warning light came on my car which probably means 'Damn Pricey Fix'. Bummer.

    I'm tired now so I will try to escape soon and rest...
