Holiday? What Holiday?!
*yawns* The timestamp on this is correct and I've just finished at work. It's stupid Channel 4 weekend today and tomorrow, resulting in my disco ops lasting from 9pm until 7am, which kinda sucks. Especially since Dave the cunty cleaner was being a total bastard this morning. I had my strict orders that the floor absolutely, completely and totally had to have been finished being polished at 5am,and given that was when the load in was at 6 and it got moved forward to 5:30, I think I was well within my rights to pull him up as he was steaming a SECOND coat on the dancefloor at 5:15. Had a bit of a barney, which culminated in him telling me that he was the cleaning contracter and he reported to Rhona (even though he doesn't) so it was nothing to do with me what he did (even though it was pretty much my entire job this morning to keep him away from the polish). Told him I was the Leadmill representative and I'd been give my instructions, and he told me to to fuck off. Which was lovely. But Matt's on my side over this one, so he'll be getting a talking to on Monday. Feel very childish that I'm thinking "ha ha" at this, but still. He's a twat.
But crappyness of tonight aside, I've had a lovely couple of days holiday with Chris this week, even if it didn't go exactly to plan! Intended on driving to Scotland to stay in a cottage with his family, however, Henry had other ideas, and proceeded to pull his "ooooh, look at me, I'm OVERHEATING!!!" tricks again. End result was, we ended up stopping in Lancaster for a couple of days while he got his thermostat changed, which actually turned out very well, we got to go visit Juicafe at last (The Go Ahead milkshakes are the BEST!) and had a picnic on Morcambe Bay and went for a wander around the Ashton Memorial. On the way home, found out that the thermostat wasn't actually the problem (best 35 quid spent ever!!!!) and there's actually a tiny hole in the radiator. Called out the RAC, and got a very nice chappie called Alan who had a nosy around, put something that looked like a cross between a turd and an Oxo cube in my radiator, and followed us around for a bit to make sure we were ok. Hurrah for nice RAC men! Chris said we should get some cardboard cut-outs of RAC men and stick them on my mirrors, for peace of mind mainly, but also because Henry seems to behave in front of the trained professionals! Had a few lumps and bumps on the way home, but found cruising along Snake Pass at 40-45 seemed to suit him fine, and got us both home in time for work and sleepiness.
I'm currently wasting time until it's late enough to not make me scared wandering up to the bus stop in town. May have a kip first. It's just hit me how absurdly tired I am. Went to bed too early after coming back from Lancaster, the result being I've been awake since 9am yesterday- I'm ready for kip now. Nighty night all!
