Agree with milann on the tough love!

Another one here who is riveted when watching Line of Duty. One of the best cop series ever.

I am a line of duty fan too although I've not watched the latest series yet...
Glad you got a bit of a break and that others have helped when needed.

Just popped out of lurkdom to say Line of duty is epic, but be warned you can't just watch one episode it becomes highly addictive. xx

Well, it’s been a mad few days.  Just when I think things are settling the night shift needed covered night before last. So two of us shared with my shift starting at 3.30. I was then back in around 2 as work was needed on payroll.  I got home around 9 last night.  I should however be able to get it over the line today by visiting a second cheque signatory, doing a doorstep drop then picking up again. 

We have had a major staffing issue that will give rise to an ongoing issue and we have also had malicious actions most likely by a former staff member.  This was through a third party who, when contacted, refused to take any responsibility.  I am considering a report to the police and definitely to the ico.  

On the plus side, I got an email from the car company offering me £75 compensation for my trouble when the car was broken. That along with a free service from the local dealer and the offer of a free rental from the car hire people (which I am unlikely to use) is a reasonable response however the car company don’t appear able to see what they did that was wrong and are instead blaming the others.  

We finally got to watch the last killing eve series 2 episode.  Some of that was gorey.  Am now looking forward to series three.  I am hoping to give myself the weekend off but that remains to be seen.  The chef is in on Sunday so I may work around that.
on other news, the elderly man died and his wife is still a concern.
 Right, need to get going.  

Today I am grateful for 
a reliable car that allows me to get cheques signed inc one for me
compensation
knowing that an elderly ill man passed surrounded by his family

I'm sorry to hear the older man has gone, though it's a blessing he was with his family. Hard times.

You sound to have had a heavy run of shifts, I do hope you can get your weekend off. I also hope that reporting of the malicious activity puts an end to it and is able to put right any damage. I know you have had a few 'tricky' members of staff but malicious actions are a stage beyond, and most unprofessional - and won't stand them in good stead if looking for other work.

Good news on the compensation.

Good news on the car not so good about the staff issues.

Your work sounds dire sad to say.
Could you pay things through bill payments through the bank?
That's how I pay 99% of things for 'my' charity now.
No more faffing around getting people to sign cheques!

Sorry to hear about the elderly man

Glad that family was with the person who passed away. Hope you get some more help at work soon.
