Good week

I've finally had a good week - last week! Not only did I pass my motorbike test - but I also got a new job. One that utilises my skills, knowledge and qualifications, And actually pays me what I was on before rather than a 4K paydrop that was forced on me in this job!!

Has it really been that long?

Wow - i've just noticed I haven't blogged since July. That's a long time!!

I have no excuses - i'm just lazy! And I've had a lot on.

I changed jobs. I got the first one I could just so I could be closer to home. Now I'm looking for the job I actually want to do!!!

I've been preparing for my motorbike test. I've done module one. I'm just preparing for module two now. Once I pass that I can ride big bikes on my own! YAY! I've seen the bike I want - it's a Yamaha XJ6. It's only £5K!!

I've also had a bunny called Binky. He was from the adoption bit of pets at home. He's lovely and lively (now he's settled in).

Em's had a puppy called Horatio - so we've been really busy with pets. Horatio is adorable and also lively!!!

That's about it for now. I'll sign in again soon - I promise!

Grumpy Andy!

I'm more than aware that all I seem to do is moan on this blog - but I feel it's the only place I can have a bit of a rant!

I remain deeply unimpressed and very grumpy. I have had my nose put out of joint and am praying for the change in leadership now, I am sick and tired of being invisible and second best.

Why should I put myself out to do something regularly when other people turn up when they fell like it and are fawned all over?!! Then when they can't do what is asked of them I get - "You're doing it Andy!". Yeah - it's ok for me to do it when it suits and suddenly I'm visible but a second choise. Grrrrrrr!!!!!

I got a proper bee in my bonnet about this now. I need to speak to the 2IC. I think if certain people want to be taken seriously - they need to turn up regularly and show a bit of committment.

Hmmmmm Grrrrr!

I remain deeply unimpressed as I now have some jackasses trying to stitch me up in my private life/hobbies. I am being dragged into something that is nothing to do with my by 3 people who I thought I was being friends with. Well - they now know not to mess with me!! I'm keeping my distance so much I might as well be on another continent!! No-one but no-one messes with me - unless I want to be messed with!!! GRRRRR!!! So much for trying to make new friends.

BOO HISS BOO!!!

Well - the inevitable happened. I go back to work next week. I really REALLY don't want to go. I don't like it! My GP decided it wasn't depression - it was stress and anxiety. No kidding?!!! That's what happens when you work with bullies!!

Mind you - i'm supposed to be going back to somewhere closer to home till september. Then I can go back to my original base - cuz it suits them then. Well - I DON'T THINK SO!!! It's not gonna happen cuz I'll have a job back down here by then. I ain't going back I tells ya! NO NO NO!

I'd rather downgrade or be unemployed than go back - but to be honest dear blog - I think that's what they're counting on. The union have suddenly gone quiet and can't be contacted and don't reply to calls. Me very unhappy - but grievance here we come!

GRRRRRR!!!! Game on!!

Off sick

I'm off sick at the moment while work sort out where I'm moving to. I felt comprimised to go to the place they wanted me to and I couldn't stay where I was. I HATE bullies. Plus I'm looking for something closer to home as the commute is killing me. I'm sooooo tired all the time, and the traffic on the motorway drives me nuts. Why can't people drive properly on it?!!

I feel a little better being off but I'm still really tired all the time. I can't sleep properly and I'm really restless. I go back to see my GP in two weeks with a view to changing my medication. Should be interesting - if he can be bothered to take his eyes off the computer this time!!!

I'm trying to do my OU module while I'm off to give me something to focus on and take my mind off things - but my attention span is less than that of a goldfish right now! I've also been househunting - although this has depressed me as I realise how much money I don't have!! I can't even afford half a rental let alone anything else. It's pants right now!!

It's not fair!!

I am not a happy bunny right now. Not happy at all. I got called into a meeting on friday with no advance notice to be told I was being moved. I didnt even have the union rep with me for support. I got told I was moving immediately and why - the reason why is absolute rubbish. My beautiful little mug don't fit - that's my conclusion!! Everyone else is sooooooo bloody perfect!

On a lighter note - I passed my AED course and now I'm doing medical gases. I've done a couple of St John duties - I did speedway last night - which was awesome. I loved it!! Attended my first search in the rain only to be told it was cancelled cuz hardly anyone turned up! Boo!
