Leaving my wallet at home... so no lunch for me today :-(
Slipping clutch 4 days before one of the best Jap shows this year... Rising Sun.
It's a 3 hour drive to get to.... will it make it? will it even make it to work all week?
still waiting for poxy wipers :(
Yesterday but, shortly after receiving a phone call and leaving work explaining I needed to go because my Mum had been in a car accident and we had no idea where she was or in what condition, I actually got asked if I'd be gone all day!
Employers, modern day slave drivers. Hope all was well in the end.Quote:

Was then given all the jobs involving going up and down 2 flights of stairs and ladders despite the fact it sets off my vertigo.
Eta- happy birthday Lewis :thumb: and hope your mum is okay MK :)
Mum is fine thankfully, just annoyed her car is almost certainly a write off, aunt who I wasn't aware was in the car at first is worse off as she suffers with a bad back anyway but essentially 'alright'.
My notice was handed in first thing this morning.
Glad theyre ok.Quote:

Employers are just ars3holes these days,no respect for workforce anymore,i will never work for anybody ever again.
Ryanair site crashing just as I booked my flights next week...... On the plus side I've discovered the top gear folks will be at Pagani next week too :)
That's what most people have said to be fair, but I'd rather do it right and not step out of line in return. Especially as it's actually my placement year and overseen by lecturers etc, although they've been very understanding throughout the year.Quote:

Am I the only one that thinks asking how long you'll be gone for a sensible question? Obviously if they demand you back after a couple of hours they are being cnuts and I would tell them to get funked. Guess it depends how it was said.
And Tan, if your job involves going up and down ladders and you don't like going up and down ladders surely you are the wrong job? lol
Unfortunately there are more workers than jobs out there so the employer has the power these days.
Taking the ERF for MOT, passed everything except the tachograph needed it's 6 yr check:mad: (which we don't use as it is for private use/non commercial)
Back in today for its certificate and £60 lighter on top of the £157 test Fee:mad:
It's not that I don't like ladders lol it's only since being pregnant that it's happened.Quote:

Spell your name right and get a grade,unbelievable
I remember being in music class and for some reason the plug sockets were behind the seats so on keyboard day I stood up and on the way out tripped over a load of keyboard adapters ripping 4 of the keyboard wires right out the adapters lol I quickly swapped them and hide the broken ones in the store room
Keyboard day wasn't around for me back when I was in school, we had recorder afternoons lol

Rounded off head for the lower strut. Dremmal (what ever there called) was out of battery so I had to knacker another socket to get it off lol
All fun and games.
Literally as I'm rushing out the door in a panic, half on the phone, because we have no idea where or how my Mum is, "I need to go NOW, my mums been in a car accident" "oh, um.... ok, will you be gone all day?"Quote:

1. as someone who has employed people, and had my fair share of strange reasons for them to leave work at short notice.....i can see why they asked.. an employer employs you to do work. thus, if you aren't going to be there, then the work needs covering...sorry if it sound like lacking compassion, but employment is like that.
2. you received a phone call at work telling you that she'd been in an accident, and the person on the other end of the phone didn't tell you how bad the accident was... did she get admitted to a&e?? what could you actually do to help?? etc... it sounds like a certain amount of over reaction, as she was ok, but your aunt with a bad back got off worse.. did you have the full day off??
my mrs had her car speared by a truck & dragged down the road.. she was shaken up but pretty much ok, my boss wouldn't let me leave early as there wasn't anything i could do about it, she'd called recovery, and was on her way home. i was upset, but soldiered on till i could leave, then set off at speed. maybe us older people are a little less emotional than the younger generation.
as for exams... i got a grade b in my electronics o level (for you younger folk, its worth about 6 gcse's) having had 3 pints of beer on an empty stomach.. i was 18 & a scrawny youth.... tbh i should have done more exams in this state..
