    well, i didn't go in today. spent most of the day trying to get through to HR. talk to them about my rights for my holidays.

    basically i used to do continental shifts. so three on, three off. anyway, while at work i booked three days off in between two sets of three days off. equaling nine days off altogether.

    before i go back, i want them to honor that i get this time off, as i have made plans.

    Looking forward to heading up to the gig tomorrow and catching up with old forum friends. :-)

    Slightly nervous about the journey though.

    Feel ok, Just had a cheque from the insurance company with the final settlement for the car accident from last Oct. Makes all the hideous physio pain worthwhile. At least I can draw a line under THAT now.



    Clap on the back for the closure . 

    Today I am making procrastinating an art form , I haven`t even checked my clothes or anything is ready for tomorrow , phone charged NO , mp3 player charged and filled NO , clothes decided on or found NO , train ticket dug out NO . I shall wing it like my name is Barry "Budgie Wings" McGee . I feel 0% stress for stuff like this ............ my Mrs is doing it by proxy though and any second now will nag tell me to get sorted me into next week .

    in all fairness i've hidden in cupboards at work a few times, though usually to either jump out at someone or get out of work. i'm not normally in there for a cry.

    Have had a shit day, probably culminating in losing one, possibly two, really good friends I care about and have known for a long time. At this very second I just want to crawl under a duvet but it's way too warm to do that. Will hope tomorrow's journey sees me cheer up or I'm going to be really crap company.

    Cut me some slack, folks, if I seem a little off my game.

    Oh poor Carpy. A lot of shit going round at the moment with different people and various reasons. Think of tomorrow and put today behind you if you can.

    the management at my place have gone very quiet which probably means we are doomed, but what do I care, I'm off till Monday now. hope things aren't too stressful Carpy. I will bring special tea.

    There shall be hugs and tea all round.

    A fresh box of my favourite apple & cinnamon has been purchased and packed.

    The hugs I'll just carry in my pockets.

    @The_Carpathian
    Under the circumstances you have no need to ask for people to cut you slack....sounds like a horrid day all around for you. It is always hard when these things happen but sometimes they open up new opportunities ((hugs)) all round :) (to clarify, that was certainly not to sound like I was making light of the situation :( )


     I myself am intrigued to find out what tomorrow holds at work as the guy that escaped from being selected for redundancy is back tomorrow.....I feel there may well be a reaction due to his 'team' being reduced by one he may have to actually DO some work!. I think all hell is going to break loose.....hope everyone there keeps their cool, he has been known to get slightly violent.
