Holiday schmoliday………

Well another Bank Holiday being worked for flat time, annualised hours ? con job they mean.  I still say that they are breaking the law my contract of employment STILL states I get DOUBLE TIME for public holidays but since the introduction of the 28 day holiday thing for Mon-Fri pen pushers so they don’t lose out on their 20 days holiday at these times we lose money!  Who’s pinched the sun again? never seen such a black sky, unless it’s late and I’m late going to work! Oh no it’s only 16:06 so that’s ok.  Last one tonight then 4 lovely days off, followed by 4 dayshifts and then 20 days off YEEEHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!

and the story goes on……….

Unknown to me Pauline has told her son in law about what’s been going on and he is not happy about it and has told certain family members who are the sort you do not want to meet in a dark alley.  Yes, they are well known to the local constabulary.  I think a 20 year old from Craw Crook may get a nasty surprise one evening when he’s drinking on the Quayside in Newcastle.

Well it’s a long story………….

The last couple of weeks have been very trying.  Due to a stupid error of judgement I did something totally out of character that even surprised me and it nearly cost me a lot more than the £700 it has.  At the end of July a work colleague was desperately trying to hire a car to go down to Leeds General to see a friend who is on life support after a massive asthma attack.  After assuring me it was only to allow him to get a car and he would pay for it in cash when he returns it, I used my debit card details to get the car.  When the car was returned, he then unknown to me rented a further vehicle using my details.  Now all would have been okay if, in the meantime he hadn’t been caught dipping into the ‘till’.  Before he could return the second car he was suspended and not allowed within the airport site, so could not return it himself.  Several days later he gets a mate to take the vehicle back.  On the 18/08/09 another friend who had put his name down as the main driver (he did actually use the cars) get’s a bill from Avis Car Rental for £771.34.  To cut a long story short, I’ve been trying to get my money back but it looks unlikely, though Nationwide have given me a dispute form to fill in so maybe I’ll get some back who knows?.  On the bright side I’ve had news of my Unilever pension and it starts in November

Wiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii

I am at work when a get a call from Pauline “ I’ve bought you an early birthday present!…….. Wii Sports Resort”  What she meant was she wanted it and buying it for me gave her the excuse.  Anyway I tried it last night, it does seem quicker to respond than other Wii games and I was reasonably impressed……… then I tried the table tennis.  WOW! it’s brilliant you can spin the ball and everything……. well impressed.

Hmmm a VERY strange day………

Something is definitely going down at work, I’ve seen more of the 2 top bosses this afternoon than I’ve seen in the 7 years I’ve worked at the airport.  Airport police coming in and taking statements from the admin staff, my immediate boss using the intercom and pretending to be just another visitor to see the top boss.  To cap it all the Business Systems Development guy tells us he is now based in our offices at the car park, I think it’s all change time again.
