All forgotton

Friday was hysterical. Poorly pussy old news. Bad back forgotten. My fellow co. worker "idiot?" had a puncture  the angst that entailed took over any problems he thought he already had. In he dashed and I mean dashed "Hi Lynford Christie" I said. The irony of this comment was lost on him. Out he dashed to get his tyre fixed he didn't even bother to say goodbye. All I saw was a fast moving blurr. All I could make out was he was wearing his christmas cardie with the fur trimmed hood. It must be the season to break out the winter wardrobe.

Pussy's on the back burner

Oh my, my fellow co. worker "idiot?" has had to put his pussy problem on the back burner. Friday I reminded him it was his turn to work Saturday. This went down like a lead balloon. How was he to manage his pussy's medication? I reminded him he's got a wife and she's perfectly able to do this.So the matter was dealt with. Today my fellow co. worker has got an ailment. Now regular followers of my blog know this fellow co. worker "idiot?" loves an ailment. This morning all my fellow co. workers "idiots?" apart from me and the owner of pussy are at site on a big job that has to be finished by Wednesday. So me and the other "idiot?" knew we were going to have a busy couple of days. He was going out to do a latex this morning to help out. I could see when he walked in all lop sided any notion of him being helpful was out the window. He huffed puffed and winced and the only thing on his mind was getting as much attention mileage out of this back problem as possible.He has gone to do a measure but all other tasks for him are on hold because he's going home after the measure because he feels "out of sorts" I am now left alone and poor pussy is looking after itself.

Great news (not!)

Great news for all in the retail industry. Billions of pounds have  been wiped off the financial market over night, so we all have even less money to spend than when we went to bed. Why oh why  they think they have to inform us every five minutes about this doom and gloom I do not know.
When I listen to the news every day I thank him upstairs that the "idiots?" and I are still managing to please our customers.I suppose the great news is that although I think the boys are "idiots?" they know what they're doing when it comes to flooring and that's all that counts!

Update from Monday

Yesterday my fellow co. worker with the poorly pussy came in on time for a change. He sauntered about a bit and then informed he wasn't feeling well because his pussy being poorly has "shook him up" not to mention his telephone has  now broken and it's been an expensive weekend for him. He then told me he thought he might have to finish work at lunch time to collect the poorly pussy from the vets. Any how the vet telephoned shortly after to inform my fellow co. worker "idiot?" that Mr Sylvie the poorly pussy needed another night in the poorly pussy hospital. I don't know if it was the fact that it was going to cost £100 extra on his bill for the extra night in the poorly pussy hospital or the fact that he would have to work all day that upset my fellow co. worker the most but he was not a happy chappy. The next telephone call we got was from J*** the arrogant rep. who thinks I'm invisible. He had phoned just to make sure that the scant information I was able to give him on his visit the previous day was correct. Me being only a woman the fact that  I told him the product he peddles is actually very good and we will continue to use it may have been incorrect!!
I am hopeful that today Mr Sylvie the poorly pussy is going to come home. But I am slightly concerned that my fellow co. worker may have to stay home and pander to his poorly pussy's whims. I will update you when I know.

Invisible

I don't know how or why but we have a rep. that thinks I don't exist. I've told him before not to do this but in he came again today and said "oh is no one here n***" and once again I said " No J*** I'm bloody invisible" what he means is are any of the fellas here but once again he p***ed me off. Then in came a customer for nosings, now I knew exactly what he wanted and the right questions to ask. But oh no J*** answered all the questions for me. I let him have his head and then said to the customer "I answered all that without opening my mouth." Still this bloody arrogant man chuntered on as if I didn't exist. And then he wondered why I didn't want to exchange pleasantries with him. My god some times I think we're still in the dark ages in  the flooring industry.

paws for thought

My Sunday peace and quiet has been shattered. A fellow co.worker "idiot?" came banging on my door just as I was cooking my Sunday roast. In he walked doing a brilliant impression of someone who has had or is having a major crisis. OH NO thought I. Not this week, as I know this week is going to be SHIT. We are short staffed and over worked. He sat down and said "I'm telling you now because I don't want to tell you tomorrow. I'm having problems this week." OH NO thought I he's suffered a loss of some kind or a major kind of family problem. He sighed and puffed and then said "my cats ill it's been in a fight." Now I don't want to seem unsympathetic BUT this "idiot?" has a responsible job he has commitments he has fulfil I need a better reason than a poorly cat for him not to be in work tomorrow giving his all. He better get his ass in gear and his head out of the clouds we got some serious shit to sort this week!

Today is a disaster.

You can tell it's Monday. Today is a disaster. First thing, in I meandered to put my lunch in the fridge. One of the "idiots?" oops fellow co. worker had already put his lunch in. I don't know how he didn't notice the fridge was full of water. A fellow co. worker had turned the fridge off on Saturday and not switched it back on. Off to Tesco I went to purchase fresh milk. On my return I was informed one of the fitters now had one job on today instead of three. He was not a happy bunny! another fellow co. worker went to place an order for a job that's going down this week NO STOCK stock production expected mid September!! as this day has worn on things have not improved. At ten o'clock I had only consumed one cuppa this is unheard of I need at least three before ten thirty. Now to top it all an "idiot?" oops again. Has cut his hand and been for a hospital visit and we have a bed delivery this afternoon that requires two able bodied males. I am hoping against all hope tomorrow is a better day.
