Well you know when you have one of those days and all hell breaks lose , well what about a week like that,
We are so short of staff but we knew we could get buy , then a foreman rings in his mother past away and he will not be in and will let us know later,
Now dont get me wrong we all take a lost of a friend/parent or even child differently , but this chap is in his 60s his mother lives with his sister and he has nothing to do with her, but he is so heart broken and cannot work ,
Well if it could go wrong it did, problems after problems and if you picked the phone up IT WAS YOUR PROBLEM,
I was warned by the bosses son that his father was not happy with me after trying to sort someones cock up, and it was all my fault i was informed, so he was coming to bullock me ,
Well he was in for a surprise i thought he is going to have both barrels from me,
Anyway in he came and i kept my head down and after a few minutes nothing was said and no action was needed from him or me ,
I was ready to hand in my notice this week again and i have tried to work out can we go too, and yes we can go, but i want to enjoy my life once retire not having to worry about if we can afford too,
Well its the weekend and i do need the break its not physical work anymore its just draining on your mind and brain,
It does not help when you have tw-ts working for you too,:doh

Whoops, close call Steve.

You played it right IMO well done.

Always the best strategy not making key decisions whilst emotions run high.

Work pays me well and yes i do speak my mind but most of the time i am right and when i am not i will say sorry , and because of this we are able to do the things and have the things we want,
I am lucky that i dont work weekends so i do have time to chill, but the down full to that is Emma works every other one , but sometimes that works out good too :biggrin::biggrin:, but tell her
