A General Rant!

[thewisestfish]

Ok, apologies for this - but am going to rant because I am in the middle of a horrible day and it's not even 11AM! Maybe I will feel better by the end.

I woke up with a stiff neck. That's a bad start - in addition to my flatate getting back late last night and waking me up talking really loudly on her mobile phone about some numpty bloke she'd been on a date with and didn't like, and that she'd got bored in the cinema and drew a square with black felt tip pen on her hand (don't ask) and so when he held her hand he moaned because he got covered in black pen (she's 19 - I don't know if this is an excuse or not).

So, morning, stiff neck. But, that was bearable, because I had arranged to do to half days (today and tomorrow) to cover our payrise - I run a payroll part time, three days a week - that's enough! - So, I get in, and send a message to the wages department at Head office saying - Ok, I agree to split my days to come in today and tomorrow two half days as agreed with my manager to cover queries etc.

Queue: All Hell breaks loose - Oh the joy of office politics - Head office immediately mail just about every top manager in existence saying: Oh no no no, that's no good, someone has to be in all day today, and all day tomorrow - so from thinking I had two half days, I have now ended up with an extra bloody day as overtime (not paid I hasten to add) lieu time. So, was going to go swimming this afternoon (nope, not anymore) and shopping (looks like toast and bovril for tea then!)

Plus - MY boss has managed to lock himself out of the office three times - queue me having to get up and let him - plus everyone else in the office seems to have timed going on holiday at the same time so I am suddenly answering the phone for 10 people. Plus - finally - My bloody payroll system is down completely and even though I'm stuck here - I can't bloody well DO anything. Sorry - I still don't feel any better. Roll on St Abbs. Cheer me up someone, before a give myself a DENT from banging my head against the nearest wall.

You don't want mine - she's funny, but she's a right mental case. I came home the other day to find her eating frozen bread. And a couple of weeks ago I went into her room to turn off the heating (she was out) and there was a big pot of butter IN her bed. I have many more stange and wonderfull stories about my bizarre flatmate. Really - she's a beauty (not in the way of Kate Moss)

LOL - brilliant! I love it when people do daft things when they're drunk! (I'm assuming she was drunk!?)

Reminds me of the time i got in one night and microwaved a tub of butter for something to eat...!

No no, she was sober. She's not a very good cook. She melts chocolate in the microwave and eats it out of the dish with a spoon. Her speciality is microwave lasagne. She usually has chips as a starter because everything else she's cooking is still defrosting.....

Boo Hoo.. Where can I get me one of those.. Does anyone think that Superdrug might be doing a deal on those too? Once obtained, just need to hide said purchase away from the wife..

Mine came from Netto.
