Grrrr
For various reasons that I can't go into yet, work's a bit of a struggle these days... mainly because, as I've said, the boss' attitude is really getting me down just now.
And add to that the fact that I'm pretty up to date with everything now, and it's quiet while everyone is away on holidays and things, and not thinking about lights, etc - and you get me spending the last week or so scratching around trying to find things to keep me busy and stimulated for 8 hours a day, 6 days a week.
So, I thought it would be the perfect chance to ask for a couple of days off...
His answer? No! Coz he's waiting for an important call that might come tomorrow, and the caller might need some information that the boss might need me to provide if he calls and if the boss can't find the information himself. And if the caller doesn't phone tomorrow, then he might let me have Friday off, if it looks like the caller won't phone Friday, but he might... looking for this information that he might need, and the boss might need me to find... so I don't fancy my chances for getting Friday off either.
I was going to spend the days sorting through some more of Mum's ornaments, and make a start sorting Dad's books... Maybe if I'd said to him I wanted the days off coz I was going on the skite tonight and needed the next 2 days to sober up then he might have said "Yes"!? That seems to be the way to get time off!

But, after I covered the shop at dinnertime, and then dropped off the banking, I did manage to get the rest of this afternoon off (all 2.5 hours of it). Spent it with my brother, and had a wander round the street looking at stuff I couldn't afford...
Well, now I've had my rant and got all that off my chest, I guess I'll have a game of spider solitaire and go to bed.
Viki, sorry I didn't get on in time for a chat... hope I can catch up tomorrow.
Scott, congratulations on your new baby niece.
Julie, I've missed you while SN's been out of action - I hope you're coping with the coffee shop okay.
Cheeky, have you dropped off the face of the planet? Or fallen prey to a ruthless vampire hunter?
And all my other regular blog readers, an Irish blessing I've just found for you...
"As you slide down the banister of life, may none of the splinters point the wrong way"
or
"May you be in Heaven half an hour before the devil discovers you're deid"
