    Blimey!...thats not a Holiday, thats unemployment!

    Well you see I didnt plan it. I dont care for holidays (except my May one) so I let all the 'mothers' have the school holidays and I just pick random week(s) anywhere. Well last year when the holiday forms came out I chosse two weeks in Jan, 4th-17th. It just so happened that my weekend off and new years days was three days before that. Then my lovely boss always give me my birthday off. And I did a favour and worked someones xmas eve so she is doing my 30th... Woo hoo to 19days :T

    The down side is I only work p/t hours anyways so I can have no overtime for two weeks, meaning Febs pay will be pants :rolleyes:

    next time drop in Pepe!

    Next tiome I'm sitting at our Factory up there waiting for them to actually DO some work, I will.

    The night-heater wasnt working.....but the heated seat was, too much. So i had freezing hands and a hot a**e, not a comfortable condition. Because we have trackers fitted to all our vehicles we cant sit there with the engine ticking over to keep warm, we get a phone call telling us that we are wasting deisel....!!!!!!!
    :D:D stay wonky :D:D
