Memorygirls - The Matrix Re-inspired

Is it just me - but I never used being pregnant as an excuse for cowbaggery!! Maybe I missed a trick - LOL

In fact - they guys at work never even noticed until I was five months gone!!!! !!!!!! - did they just think I had eaten all the pies????

In my defence - standard "uniform" for being on site was dungarees, twenty layers, working boots and hi-vis jacket. So I suppose bumping into them in a t-shirt and p-jeans was a bit of eye-opener -LOL

((crickett)))))))) deep breaths. I read somewhere about holding a fork up in front of your face so it looks like other person is behind bars No practical use, but thinking of them locked in a sealed cage (or perhaps a bubble is nicer) where they can't do any harm, and where you can't hear them, might be a nice alternative to giving them a well deserved slap! (not that I advocate violence, of course...)

bleurgh to uncooperative work days

I'm working at home - trying VERY hardto not do the washing up - which I tried to do this mornign, but Mr Daffs said he would do it (since I haven't been here all weekend, so it's obviously all his!). He's now gone out, however, without doing it, so I'm TRYING to ignore it and just not add too much to it!

(actually, I'm not showered and dressed after my run yet, been sat working in smelly running kit :rotfl: so I probably have other priorities right now!)

Ooh, had a PM from Mr F - seems he's on the case with the other side, and we should be able to get through the door pretty soon!

British gas has been :eek: is all I can say lol.

Did they have any ideas about relocating it or other clever things though?

Cheery_Daff

That's what I think whenever I think of BG too Claire - condemned our (fully working) boiler at an annual because they couldn't supply a replacement part (and hacksawed through the gas pipe so we couldn't sneakily turn it back on), only for us to source a part, get another bloke to come and fit it - which he didn't, because there was absolutely nothing wrong with the damn thing in the first place :mad: 10 weeks without heating or hot water through the coldest winter for 30 years and several weeks of snow :mad: BG can stuff their gas pipes up their backsides as far as I'm concerned!

(sorry, did that count as a rant??)

tellmeitsfriday

Shocking cheery! Sounds like my episode with e-on. Who do they think they are?

Oh how lovely. Rain.

I hate this keyboard... really bad. Its so awful, I can't even be bothered to rant about it!

My Monday is sucking big style at the moment. Cowbag is being more cowbaggy than ever and has cast a horrible pall over the entire team, as per usual. Lots of people are commenting on it... but no one seem to be able to take her to one side and tell her that she is being awful and to grow the hell up. Of course, no one wants to do that in case she comes back with the "but I am pregnant and you can't be nasty to me" line. I would not put it past her. In the meantime, I am keeping grasp on what remains of my sanity by thinking "Not too long until September when she !!!!!!s off on maternity leave for a year". Can I just say, that if I ever do get pregnant and start acting like a total twit, please, someone, take me to one side and tell me to snap out of it. Please!!

Oh dear is she one of these people who thinks being pregnant is an ailment to be used as a "get out of jail free" card rather than it just being a condition <rollseyes>
I don't think you're EVER the sort of person to act like a total twit Crickett

Talking of unpopular work colleagues reminds me of the rather unexpected time I made a work colleague cry I swear it wasn't on purpose but we were all on a night out and she was one of these people who was very bossy and just not a nice person to work with. Thankfully she wasn't my supervisor but she made my friends like a bit of a misery. Anyway on this night out a she asked my friend what she thought of her as a boss.......said friend just looked at her and told her to ask me. Well not being one to call a spade a digging implement I spoke the truth (not quite brutal honesty but....) and she burst into tears :o Wasn't my intention but if you don't really wanna know the answer don't ask the question She was marginally better with my friend after that so it was some progress
If you want Crickett I'll ring up Cowbag and tell it to her straight if you like, you load the bullets and I'll shoot :rotfl:

Do you know what? I think someone in the office might have done just that... she has disappeared from her desk and no one knows where she is! Very odd. I came back from my lunchtime walk to find my boss and my bosses boss having a furtive conversation. Obviously, I did not eavesdrop, but because we are open plan, I did hear "well, she is going to have to..." I don't know of whom they speak...or indeed of what they speak... but I am hoping it is cowbag and they have told her to act her age and not her shoe size. Right... I have a meeting to prepare for. And then (hopefully) head for town for some (very light) retail therapy and onwards to choir!
