It's my first full time job, we need more staff but the only person who has applied since me and James have started is too illiterate to do the job. Well, not just illiterate but stupid with it. I have no problem with Dyslexia, ask Kingfisher about it, he knows, and not just because my eldest has the same problem, but this bloke was almost wilfully ( Read more... )

I have a job! I mean a paying job. The genuine article. I sometimes feel that anytime I get a job it is always going to be "wait, wait, wait" then suddenly "we want you here right now!" I never seem to get the "We'd like you to start on this date, is that ok?" It's always all or nothing. A bit like my life I guess ( Read more... )

I have to say I loved it. Mostly. The first case was pretty nasty, indecent assault on a minor, but the thing that made it bearable was the amazing group of people who made the jury. Even the two people who couldn't believe the bastard did it were good people, just too much of the bleeding heart variety. You know the sort, can never think bad of ( Read more... )

Ok apparantly I am not allowed to have a dump in peace anymore. It was bad enough with the kitten trying to limbo dance under the door; Molly, don't think I can't see your paw under there, but now I get the groundfloor brat kicking his football up here hitting the fucking window ( Read more... )

The Usual Suspects managed to make me cry last night. They gave me and Kev a card, inside it was a large sum of money that we are only allowed to spend on ourselves. Apparantly it is because we put up with them, but I have to say they aren't difficult people to tolerate. They always pay their way, in fact they always pay more than their way, I can' ( Read more... )

What have I done? Well considering my physical state (and state is an excellent word) I partied like it was ... right that is kinda redundant now. BUT you get what I mean. I am knackered and I think cystitis had a say in the exhaustion. Still I am taking cranberry extract capsules (cannot drink the juice no matter how I try) and as they have a ( Read more... )

Too good to be true wasn't it? No sooner do I have a date than it was taken away from me again. I now have to wait until October 18th for the slice and dice. Typical ( Read more... )

I have a date for my next operation. I go for pre-clerking, where I get weighed pulled prodded and poked, on the 19th July and then I go in the week after on the 26th for my operation. If all goes well they will go in via the belly- button (can we say eeeeew?) and that will be a lot less traumatic than opening me up again. With being so fat it ( Read more... )

Well the advent of Kev's new (old but pretty damned tasty considering) car has made weekends even more fun than they were before. Well they will be next month when we have money again after paying out left, right and centre for all the little bits and pieces you need with a car after not having one for the best part of five years. It's nice to ( Read more... )

I had my latest appointment at hospital yesterday, sigh, they decided to play silly buggers with my notes and no one had the common sense to look at the list of appointments or even tick off the ones seen. FFS how long does that take to do? It saves so much trouble in the long run and stops people suffering a longer wait and more pain in the ( Read more... )
