THis lot do my head in. I work for an egyptian outfit on a dive support vessel. Basically my back to back has resigned, I thought good oh I can now sort it so I'll xmas at home as I'm due to work it the moment. So tell the wife I can be home for chrimbo but it'll mean I'll be away for 10 weeks (I normally do 5 weeks away and 5 weeks off). The extra money will also help pay off debts and I can take her to london for a little break as I've (still) not taken her there. Also I've rearranged hospital appointments for some procedures we're having that are very expensive and unfortunatley have a very limited appointment availability.

So all sorted or so I thought. Until usless numpty in the office declares that my relief will arrive on the 1st september!!! A whole 4 weeks too early!!! PLus this guy has only done one trip on a barge that does what can only laughabily be called diving. Also that wasn't even as a senior watchkeeper. So in one foul swoop fat man in the office has up my xmas (first at home in 3 years), up our hospital procedures and up my extra wages

God I need to win the lotto so I can tell these useless, bone idle, stinking, halfwit to shove their job up their I bet anyone to prove to me this lot built the pyramids. Not a chance.
