Work asked me to cancel my annual leave to come in today to be here for the new starter so they weren't on their own. Except they are starting next week and now I'm sat in the office alone all day when I should be at home and I didn't even bring headphones because I thought I'd be busy training all day. I'm in a huge strop about it Grin

Pissing Mondays. Anyone else already been annoyed?

That's fine, they can lay eggs and eat flies but venture into the bath when I am having a shower and run across my foot and they are in trouble. I'm not a fan but if they leave me alone then I leave them alone.

Appointment today, scheduled for 14:00, was rearranged to tomorrow. Gave me the chance, for about 10 minutes, to review some stuff.
My conclusions:

  1. If you put clothing in a bag 7 years ago, there was a reason.
  2. Your tastes change.
  3. No, you will not sell your vintage Laura Ashley or Betty Barclay in 2020. Bin it. Life goes on.
(Anyone interested in the last point is welcome to PM me)

I'm pissed off with my house sale.

Our buyer is twatting about, holding everyone else up, and I'm absolutely fucking raging 🤬.

Our solicitor (god bless her Flowers Wine) is chasing, but our buyers solicitor is also twatting about.

Just sign the goddamn paper work, let's exchange and move FFS!

I work for the NHS they've cancelled everyone's leave until the end of a November we're all hoping they do t cancel December leave too. Some staff have literally only had a week off some none
I get there's a pandemic on but if they don't give people a break then they'll all go off with stress!!

The DC have come back from their dad's house exhausted as usual because he lets them stay up so late. DD hasn't done her homework (also as usual on his weekends) so I'm having to do it with her now when she should be in bed.

Someone in DS's year has Covid so they've all been sent home for 2 weeks. I know it's not anyone's fault but he's bouncing around and wanting attention and cackling loudly and generally being 10 when I'm trying to work.

Someone on MN has posted a thick-as-mince homily about single mothers having low-paid jobs that fit around their childcare responsibilities because they can't be arsed to get proper employment (I paraphrase, probably unfairly but I'm grumpy). I earn enough to pay HLT and that's still annoyed me.

The internet kept dropping intermittently when I was trying to finish a complicated piece of work to a drop-deadline. Now finished, thank chocolate.

I'm fat.

My period has started.

The weather is crap.

I spent the weekend cross with DH because in the several months since it was decided we'd go to my DBro's for Christmas he still hasn't sorted out MIL with his older brother. Apparently I am the evil cow in this situation because I don't consider it unreasonable for BIL to be responsible for his widowed, elderly mother for Christmas ONE YEAR out of four!!! I've told him I'm not having my Christmas revolve around his brother's selfishness for the next 25 years (give or take).

ExH unwisely chose yesterday to send one of his customary emails having a go at me for an imagined slight. I responded rather more hotly than I normally would and that made me feel better so I might do it more often, the absolute bell-end.

Autocorrect.

Clothes left in a pile on the bathroom floor.

Messy house.

I could continue...

Hope everyone's days have got better. I stopped in Tesco to get stuff for a pasta bake and managed to buy everything except the sauce, so just had a bowl of dry pasta and peppers with a splat of tomato ketchup. It really is a Monday-ey Monday. Wine ready for I'm a Sleb now!

I had the shittest nights sleep ever TM I struggle with my skin and for no apparent reason last night it felt like I had hedgehogs running up and down my legs all night.

Screen went black on a Teams call and I've had the shits!

Tomorrow will be better

My boss.

I'm effing livid right now, and have realised he's actually a misogynist asshat.

I am going to do nothing and wait for karma. It's headed his way
