Burnt Toast
I nearly set fire to the kitchen yesterday. Thought I'd have a slice of toast for lunch. Put bread in toaster & get carried away reading. Sniff, sniff - toast smells a bit well done. Look & U the house is full of smoke. Needless to say, the smoke alarm didn't go off. There was a layer of smoke from the ceiling down to about waist height. Turned the extractor on, opened all the doors & windows & smoke was pouring out. Grab the toast with tongs & fling it in the sink where it sizzled like hot metal in water so I really do think it was on the point of flames. But now the house pongs. Anyone know any remedies for getting rid of the smell. I open the doors & windows every chance I get, but some little 8$#!! round here are still letting fireworks of & the dog is just a wreck. Someone shutting a car door makes him jumpy so imagine what a firework does.
DH (who is away in Bristol this week) thinks its hilarious. I like what my sister calls baby toast but DH likes it carbonised & I'm always telling him to open the window when he does toast as I can't stand the smell. Well, I smell of it now!! Shame there isn't a smelly mood button.
Been at this temp job for a year now & still on the same wage. I can get more per hour working in Aldi so on Monday, I made up my mind to speak to the agency. On Tuesday, my boss at the office said he will try & get my money increased. Each time he has asked, them haven't said but haven't done anything about it. He said if it doesn't happen, I can start adding more hours to my time sheet. I wonder if he's noticed I'm working more hours. I'm contracted by the agency to work 37.5 where everyone else works 35 but I've been doing 40 hours recently to try & keep up. At least I'm hourly paid & I do get paid for all the hours I do. All other temps are on a daily wage & get nothing for extra hours. Good job money isn't a prime motivator for me but it would be nice to have a little reward for staying course.
It's beginning to feel like I may be the last one out. Virtually all the Spanish have gone, the girl I sat next to was made redundant last week & two others are going at the end of January.
Talking of which, it off to work I go.
