Always tough to lose someone close to you.
Try to stay positive and think of all the good times you had, which made your friendship so special.

Missing all this nice sunshine. Looks lovely outside, but between nightshifts and sleeping, I bet Iām not up and about for more than a couple of hours. Difficult to fit in a decent walk when Iāve got to eat and do other stuff in that time.
Still, only 2 shifts to go, then off work for 10 days, so there is light at the end of the tunnel. You watch it piss it down all next week.

Back in work tonight! Those 10 days flew by and I never thought about the place once. God, I wish I could retire.

Far be it from me to moan and complain about work, but itās been the worst week ever. Sick of going in there and flogging my guts out, yet all we get back is criticism.
Donāt want praise. Just appreciation for the effort. Nothing is ever good enough.

Back in work tonight after a 5 day ālong weekendā off.
I could have 5 months off and it wouldnāt be enough.
All colleagues were contacted via email, to fill in a āhappiness in the workplaceā survey. Everyone Iāve spoken to has given an absolutely damning report on our lousy and unapproachable senior management.
I think I wrote a friggin essay. Nothing will come of it, but at least it vented a bit of anger.

Last shift tonight. Totally feckin fed-up with the shit hole this week. Everything has gone wrong. Fire alarms going off last night. Some cleaning team that was in had set off part of the sprinkler system. Should have seen it. It was like something out of a comedy sketch.
On top of that, supposed to have a full 2 weeks notice on the rotas and theyāre still not up for the 11th, so no idea when Iām back in after my hols.

Also made matters worse that the guy running this cleaning and freezer repair company had the thickest Scottish accent Iāve ever heard. 4 bleedin nights of not having the faintest idea what the hell he was talking about. Might as well have been a different language.
I mean, I can understand Rab and Lawrie no problem at all. Fuck knows where this geezer was from? Him holding the bloody tap with hot water spraying everywhere. Feckin drenched.
Anyway, itās over. Holiday time.
