    Evening elite :)
    I've popped on while I'm at work for a bit of an elite hug :( I'm writing this while blubbing and balling my eyes out :(
    I've just had my head bitten off by a colleague who after asking if they were alright (a rather short 'yes I'm fine was the reply') I asked if they were sure they were alright'. I got my head bitten off because apparently they didn't like being interrogated as soon as they'd walked in the door.

    I'll point out now that my personality at work, I usually try to be as bright and happy as possible, I chat to everybody and say hello to as many people as I can (even the miserable ones), if you think of what a Tigger is usually like that's me for most of the working day :D

    I've no idea what's going on in this persons life, they're usually generally grumpy and I had a run in with them a few weeks ago when they told me not to talk to them for the first part of the shift (not really that easy!)
    I just feel I can't work with this person any more.
    I'm meant to pass over a list of everything I've done and everything that needs doing when they walk in the door but that's virtually impossible.
    We're meant to work as a team but I'm beginning to get sick of clearing up the mess other people don't bother finishing or don't do because they can't/don't want to.

    They may have stuff going on at home, I do too! I had very little sleep over night as one of my children was waking up screaming (last time I looked at the clock was 1am) I've had a child throwing up all morning to worry about. I have a million other things going on at the moment and I know I'm generally run down (DH kept asking me if I has alright as I was unusually quiet) I acknowledged to DH earlier that I'm not myself at the moment.
    But work pay (not a massive amount) me to do a job so that's why I slap a smile on my face and do it.

    (Yes I know most of my work rant probably describes every workplace that exists, at least I know I'm not alone :D )

    Thank you for listening to me :) I feel a heck of a lot better :)
    I'm still blubbing but I'm smiling!





    chin up :) xx we wont bit your head off xx don't take it to heart xx

    Well ring him back now, and tell him you are a little better, as he will be worried that you come home early and he has to hide his beer stash quickly

    Im off to bed. I will just share the petty stuff I am being reported for before I go though :( if I get PPRd for doing so, I will see you on the other side :D
    Whoever reported this......hang your head in shame and get a mirror to have a good look at yourself :(.......see you on the other side folks :)

    Hi fairclaire. We can't keep requesting you to tone down your posts on a family Forum even if it's a quote without making clear you are placing your own posting privileges in danger. Please stop making these inappropriate posts. (QUOTE: 'If I get through the next 3 weeks, I'll be wanting a medal DS2 is sucked in already

    The following took place to the background sound of very loud pringles munching .......

    Half an hours explanation from me about who Hugh Hefner is and him repeatedly saying......'but what does he actually do?'

    'Well American women are stupid I think' Bodes well for my impending dinner party

    'The men are very wimpy this year' (although he does like Michael Beurke)

    'that large woman should wear waterproof make up'

    'Mel Sykes is my kind of woman, not afraid to get in there' (he's only 13 he shouldn't have a type of woman )

    The eating trials should be fun seeing as the words 'penis' and 'anus' send him into uncontrollable fits of giggles

    I need a glitch on pringles and maybe a new Hoover after looking at the rug where he's been sat')
