Back to work

Finally, after another operation on my hand, I am back to work. But am still working on the tills. Fortunately, I am doing reduced hours although I am not sure for how long. However, there is another lady also doing rehab hours and she is milking the system and playing a strange game of making sure everyone knows her problems i.e. she was injured by a customer. My point to her was why didn't she do something i.e. take it up with the unions solicitors sooner rather than later? Because she does keep going on about money and how much she needs to live. Her situation is really odd - I think.

There I am plodding along and making the most of it. But I have another operation to come and am waiting for a date. I am convinced that someone has put the evil eye on me because of all the medical issues I have had. Normally I am fit and healthy and had enough operations during my early years to last a lifetime - so why more now????

Managers Meeting

As you know I work in a large supermarket superstore. Recently, I have had an operation on my hand explaining the absence of my postings. I went back to work last week to find that I have been the subject of a managers meeting because they (the managers) think I am negative. My colleagues think that I am no more negative than anyone else.

You would think that managers would be more interested in increasing profits rather than talking about me.

It's springtime????

Another beautiful day! Have you noticed that people behave differently when the sun is shinning?

Who knows if this weather is going to continue! But it is nice to hear the dawn chorus, see all the daffs, watch the new shoots grow - this time of year inspires you to get out and do something! And that should keep the weight off!!!!!!!!!

Good Luck Wellworths, I hope you succeed!

It's nice to see the passion that the new boss of WellWorths has. It's also good to see that someone has the courage of their convictions and "went for it".

Chris Evana made a passing comment that this story was going to be made into a movie, I hope so because it would make a brilliant story - wish I thought of it.

Perhaps others will follow and do what they feel passionate about. Including me!!!

This spring weather makes me feel better

What a difference a day can make! This week has been like the start of spring - the dawn chorus has started; the sun has been out; long gone are the heavy coats, ice and snow; is this is what it is going to be like the rest of the spring. I hope so. With the doom and gloom of the recession, we do need something to cheer us up. After all we should be thankful for what we have rather than what we don't have. But it is easy for me to say that because I haven't lost my job or my house - yet.

Have had a good week award wise. Got my oldies played on Steve Wright BBC2; had my top five played on Wave 105 and am a finalist in the Walkers Crisps name a flavour (mine was Fish and Chips - amongst others). Can't wait to see what momento I will get although I would rather have the £10,000 and the royalties. I wish. Never mind.

When is far too far?

After all the excitement from yesterday's snowfall, I was astonished to learn that a few of my work colleagues were unable to make it to work. You would think this not surprising bearing in mind how difficult conditions were, but:
I work in Southampton; one manager travelled from Salisbury, Wilts,; one from Chichester, Sussex, and one from Christchurch, Dorset. the distances they travelled were considerable yet one colleague who lives literally a 10 minute walk away rang personnel to say that she couldn't get in because of the snow?????

Keep ice from forming in the snow

How soothing is to watching the snow falling! Especially if you don't have to go out in it!
I use to love snow when I was a kid, now I just like watching it.
A good way to keep ice from forming on your paying slabs and drive is to spinkle table salt. Great for drives as well. And you don't have to use vast amounts of salt to make a difference - table salt is only a fraction (pence) compared to all these other things.
Salt is also good for keeping weeds at bay inbetween paving slabs.
