to be annoyed..

[fluffles]

... at holding the fort at work alone for SIX dayswhile being sent never-ending demanding emails by my boss's boss and then have everybody say i'm 'lucky' to have been unaffected by the snow.

am not lucky, i pay a bloody fortune to live near work.

i am doing the work of FOUR people and not a word of thanks for my walking 2miles each way through knee deep snow.. just 'you're so lucky you don't have to drive / take the train / use the bus'.

YANBU

Take a sickie, but don't tell anyone I said that

Cor YA so NBU

YANBU. How maddening for you. Hopefully you'll get a fabby payrise. Failing that have you thought about moving house?

YANBU and quite controlled!

I would tell each of them just how lucky I felt!!

can't take a sickie, but did fancy a nice lunch out on friday but without anybody to go with i ended up in the gym instead.. not quite the same.

YANBU. Any chance your boss will give you a nice big Christmas bonus in recognition of your hard work?

YANBU to be annoyed at being so lucky

I'm sick of the f-ing snow now, and the f-ing biting f-ing cold.

You'll have to drop some subtle as a brick hints for them to thank you for all your hard work.

Bet you're fit from all the walking.

yanbu, hope you are warm and rewarded and recognised the next time pay rises are made

my colleague and I have been in every day in the bad weather our other branch, near where
the boss lives managed to get in friday morning , we managed all week, even though they all live within walking distance - less than a mile. the boss then rang to say it was quiet at her end so as soon as I had done my paperwork to go home as she wasn't paying us for 'sitting around'- i said ok i will go at 1.00pm - she said that was far too long to wait - go at 10.30 - well, the courier rang and said he would be there at 1.30pm so I waited and at 12.30 a very elderly client came in for her new glasses and told me she had come 6 miles on the bus - how good would it have been if I had not been there for her. My boss and her husband both have 4 wheel drives & never showed their faces all week - Contrast this with my husbands works where he has picked up his guys himself in his 4 wheel drive and not missed any work. My colleague & I think that we are having the piss taken and will file this away for future - it sems to me that there are those who have a can do attitude and those who have a 'taking the piss' attitude - i shall seriously think of looking for a new job next year
