Yea, things really aren't that great. lots of stress with work, has got me down pretty bad along with other things.

Nigel is still not back from respite as the nursing home has gone down with the Norovirus and is locked down, no-one in or out for 48 hours.

Keep your chin up as things can only get better. I didn't know Nigel went to respite. That poor man has bad luck. Jeez, now he's in lock down!
 
Yea, Mum went on holiday for a week, she's back now though.



Made the decision to leave work but need to find something else first. Just got to ride it out, the place is getting worse. Newest crap is our individual daily stats - productivity/effeciency etc going on a board in the office for everyone to see.

At the end of the week everyone goes into a league table and your position in the table is also put up onto the board. It's like being back at school.



Not only that if you are off sick your back to work interview will be with the top boss lady. It's a fear tactic to stop people being sick. But instead, the sick people in the call center are being sent to our team to do the paper based work, and now I am sick!! sore throat like last time, can't talk yet again, but can't have time off unless I want to explain myself to the head boss.



I hate that place with passion, makes me so angry being there. At work I want to break down and cry and at home I feel like I want to annihilate everything in my path.



Can't cope anymore.
 
Hope you took advantage of her being away!

Weren't you also going to a gig the last time you were here?
 
Went so quick. Worked, got home, worked out abit then went to bed. Wasn't in the mood to do anything else. Not much has changed since she got back to be honest.



I saw Chas & Dave. - 1st set was they're 70s rock n roll stuff, second set was stuff they are known for, Rabbit, Gertcha, Margate, Sideboard Song etc.

Next up is 2 local bands.
 
Thank you for taking the time to post the videos for me. Those bands are great! Wish we had a place around here where I could go, hang out and listen to some good bands.



I sure hope you can find another job real soon. I wouldn't be able to handle that crap you're going through either. Just keep looking and hopefully you'll find one!
 
Hello everyone!



Can't believe it's Spring here. Snowing like crazy and it's only 32 F right now. Going down to 23 F tonight.



How are you?
 
@EE: I'm okay just sick of this nasty cold weather.
 
Getting expensive too with the cost of heating oil.

Yes I am upstairs but downstairs I have the heat very low. I don't want the pipes to freeze.

If only everything was 100% insulated, right?

Right. I am using the wood stoves as much as possible right now. My last oil bill was $573.32 and I get oil every three weeks. This is getting way too much for me!
 
Hello everyone!



First day in a very long time the sun is out. Still cold but it's nice to see sunshine.



How are you today?
 
Quite all right, did some work, read a little... You?

Sun was shining over here as well. It would've been warm if it weren't for the wind.
 
I did my laundry and housecleaning today. Wish it was warmer as I would love to be able to open the windows and get some fresh air!
