Snow Joke

Dear Mother Nature
I don't ask for much all I wanted was for you to hold on to the snow until Friday. but no that was too much to ask and instead you dumped it NOW. And now what? the "idiots?" and I are up the creek. My fellow co. worker whom I have blogged previously on numerous occasions is the only one in the world who can drive in snow. Came to work at 9.15 and was gone again at the first signs of snow at about 11 this morning. My fellow co. workers "idiots?" who were due to work in Exeter left at 5 this morning and got within half an hour of their destination only to be turned around because the snow was so bad the roads were closed. Three fellow co. workers were told by boss husband "idiot?" fellow co. worker to go home. Boss husband "idiot?" and another fellow co. worker are fitting a lounge (quickly) after trying to negotiate the hill to the house several times. And I'm sat manning the phones that are clogged by suppliers who are not going to get here and customers wanting to know if my Chrystal ball predicts they will still have there flooring by Christmas!! Please mother nature can we have a miracle over night? please melt the snow and let all the deliveries through and then please move Christmas back by one week. If you do this for me I promise I will never complain again I'm too hot too cold or we've had too much rain. THANK YOU.

Short fuse

I'm on a short fuse this week because I've got a cold. This means I don't suffer fools gladly. And boy oh boy are the "idiots?" being foolish. Yesterday we ran out of tea bags - This is an emergency situation - off went an "idiot?" on foot with haste to rectify the situation. We all awaited his return. He came back with milk. We didn't need milk we had plenty, he put his head in his heads and uttered "I don't know what's the matter with me." I uttered to myself "No neither do I but get your skates on and go back to purchase tea bags NOW." This morning I struggled in to work. I told one of the "idiots?" you need to take samples with you for this customer. I found the samples and put them in front of him. Off he went, the samples are still there. The hypochondriac "idiot?" is beside himself because I've got a cold and every time I sneeze he gives a little cough and when ever he walks by he sniffs just in case I might just be deemed as more ill than himself. I can't wait for five o'clock tonight I need a little break from them all.
