    I think I've come up with a stunning plan, just need George to [STRIKE]make it work [/STRIKE]tweak it and you can definitely get in every room without climbing in a window :T.

    Got that 'Sunday evening' feeling already - and it's still Sunday morning :(. Work exceedingly stressful and am fed up of putting a brave face on it and trying to rally the troups - all well and good but no-one is rallying me. Mistake made by someone on Friday may well be the straw that broke the camel's back - and I'm a camel with an exceedingly big back! Quite simply I CBA anymore :(. B*ll*cks to the lot of them :mad:.

    And breathe! :)

    As I've lost track of the times you've made helpful comments when I've been stressed with work, I am sure that you can step back from this and put it into context. Have a quick rage, try and change the topic in your mind and relax by spending some time on something that you enjoy.

    There's still hope - I had that Sunday feeling on *Saturday* morning and managed to step back from the brink.

    What does Mr GG think, or are you just having a good old vent? :coffee:

    :o Thanks Ed :o. Mr GG given good advice as always. Am just fed up of battling on, trying to do the right thing for all concerned while the company just fiddle while Rome burns :(. Or rather, have a meeting about fiddling at some yet to be determined date in the future. As long as the highly-paid consultant thinks it's appropriate :rotfl:.

    At least there's the Ryder Cup to cheer :T:T:T

    'so close and yet so far feeling' makes work stress worse in my opinion.
