    Bad week at work

    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,

    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 , but tell her

    Steve, remember we all start to become grumpy old men in our 50s.

    Don't let the .......s grind you down.

    Actually... I'm quite enjoying being (almost) a bonkers OAP.
