Evening everyone.

See it’s not just me with a vivid imagination (and in denial about being at the point where my eyes don’t work anymore). How does a croissant get up a tree? Anyway my hat owl has moved to a different fence post this week, so it must have flown...

🤣Do you meet that friend regularly at the police station nowadays Dexter?

I loved Best years of our lives! (guilty secret)

No, thank God - that was back in the Midlands! I often wondered what became of him though....

Dexter, what a choice of record to steal 😂

Hi all.

How was work, honey?

As bad as you feared?

Honeyroar · 15/04/2021 20:47

Yes even worse! I came home in tears yesterday. It was so so busy and the owners threw us under the bus. Then today the new girl that started yesterday passed out and was admitted to hospital (pre existing issue).

Oh Honey that's awful.

RogueMNerKnowsNoShame · 15/04/2021 21:12

Oh sweetie.

I'm so so sorry. Sending hugs. Big big hugs. You can have 1/2 point if that helps?

I think people are going insane for going out after so long stuck inside. My DD has been to the pub every day.
I'm sure it won't stay at this level.

And remember, not long until you are the master of your own destiny.
Sending love and strength.
You can do this. You really can.

Fleamaker123 · 15/04/2021 21:19

Oh no Honeyroar that's not good 😞

Honeyroar · 15/04/2021 21:38

Thanks you lovely lot. It was a little bit better today (probably me finding my feet again too). Will probably be bad again tomorrow as we’ll be down a staff member and the owners are too stupid to realise that we were barely coping and should pull a couple of tables out to compromise. I’m seriously wondering whether I’ll hang in until the trailer comes!

midgedude · 15/04/2021 22:01

Oh honey , thought you were quiet

Oh @Honeyroar, so sorry to hear that, that’s rubbish behaviour of the owners 😡 . Hope the new girl will recover fast and I’m sure that things will improve xxx
Honeyroar · 15/04/2021 22:27

I know, poor girl. She’d had to drop out of uni this year because of her condition and is clearly having a rough time with it. She’s only 19 and a sweetheart. And I’m really mad that another young girl started yesterday as a kitchen hand (washing up) and they rang her up today, on a day that she was off, to see if she could come to help after the other girl fainted. She came in, and after she’d gone home the cafe owners were grumbling that she was too slow and they were going to give her one more day then probably let her go. Poor kid has only just started on the busiest week we’ve ever had! Give her a chance!

Sorry, I’m ranting aren’t I? It must sound ridiculous to those of you with proper jobs, but it’s too much hassle for a minimum wage part time job!

midgedude · 15/04/2021 22:31

It doesn't sound like an unjustified rant
It is a proper job
And despite having a tough time you still also care about the others ... so honey

Honeyroar · 15/04/2021 22:49

😘thanks Midge.

Is that Eurythmics- when tomorrow comes?

midgedude · 15/04/2021 22:51

Yeah! 😀

midgedude · 15/04/2021 22:53

It's

Only a day away

RogueMNerKnowsNoShame · 15/04/2021 23:19

Sweetheart, stop it with the ‘proper job’ rubbish.

There’s no judgement in any case. But you’re on a path of change atm.

The sun’ll come out tomorrow

Completely agree with Rogue and Midge. It's not only a proper job, IMO it's an extremely important one. You are facilitating a lot of people getting back to normal (whatever that may be these days) and for some perhaps it could be the difference between another dark day and hope. And I'm soooo looking forward to when you set up on your own! Caaaaaakkkkeee!!!
NeedToKnow101 · 16/04/2021 09:16

Morning everyone. Sorry to hear your job is so annoying Honey. The owners don't sound like good people to work for. Hope today is a better day 🌝😍🌝😍🌝

shinynewapple21 · 16/04/2021 11:01

Morning Smile
Sorry you are finding your return to work difficult Honey. Hopefully this is just a blip and things will calm down over the next couple of days . It's not good to see your employers mistreating other members of staff though . Perhaps everyone was just having a bad day ?

NeedToKnow101 · 16/04/2021 19:14

So incredibly sad about Helen McCrory ❤️

FlouncingBabooshka · 16/04/2021 19:30

@Honeyroar Flowers or, if you prefer Wine. Actually, have both. I’m so sorry your job is such a nightmare. I know it’s tough to get through what seem like endless days in a job you hate. Just keep remembering - it’s temporary- your trailer is going to be ace 🙂

@NeedToKnow101 so sad. She was an amazing actor and seemed like a truly fine person. She and Damien Lewis always came across as such a lovely couple and very much in love. I was shocked to hear the news.
