how does his mind work (or more preciseley does his mind work)

I am bemused confused and befuddled. Unfortunately one of my fellow co. workers who used to work Saturdays is unwell and she has left our happy little community of "idiots?" for the moment that leaves us short staffed on a Saturday. This shouldn't be a problem during the summer because we are less busy on a Saturday until the Christmas run up. (please god let there be a busy Christmas run up!) Well last Saturday the most annoying "idiot?" I have the misfortune to work with worked the morning. He knows that at the moment it's only one person working Saturdays so we can't organise measures for this day. This morning in he wandered at 9.05 it was requested by boss "idiot?" that he start work at 8.30 every morning this week but because he had a measure on the way in I guessed he would not be in until 9.30 today. Because it was 9.05 when he arrived today I enquired "you did remember the meausure didn't you?" he turned on his heel and was making his way back to the van. Of course I should have known better he had forgotten completely. The damn measure was for his next door neighbour!! Any how the saga continues because I looked at the messages from Saturday. Sure enough there was a measure sheet all written out measure next Saturday 10.30 in Newnham on Severn. On the "idiots?" return from next door to his own house I enquired how are we going to do this measure next Saturday then? He looked at me all cock eyed as if I was the one without a brain. "What do you mean?" says he."we don't have enough staff on Saturday to cover the showroom for the measure to be possible" I reminded him. "Oh yeh" he said and walked off. I took it upon myself to phone the customer and rearrange I was lucky they didn't tell me not to bother. When summer is over I have no choice it's back to Saturday working for me I reckon I've got ten to twelve weeks before I drag myself in and eat my breakfast at my desk again. I'm really looking forward to it.

The best of

Today has been a slow day. So I have been challenging the "idiots?" on the Best of Forest of Dean games. The Best Of is a website where people leave feedback for the local companies they have used. These games are addictive and I have discovered a competitive streak I didn't know I had. On bank holiday Monday I decided I couldn't go to bed until I had achieved 6000 points on the hammer throw. All was good when I got 11117 and off to bed I went. Now I am so deflated I can't get any higher than this score. I have been into our unit and got a piece of whiterock because I thought this would make the mouse run more smoothly. I'm getting agitated when the phone goes or a customer comes in because it's disturbing my train of thought. So after careful consideration I have decided to log out and blog instead.And after I finish my blog I'm going to find something constructive to do rather than playing games!

Oh and guess what I've got a secret.....
Do you want to share it?
Ok then I'll tell you but keep it to yourself.
This morning the post man brought another freebie. In my pop up R-Kive mini box I have another packet of Haribo kiddies supermix this time. This packet came with a sample of underlay. Now don't tell the "idiots?"

Freebie update

My box is empty. One of the "idiots?" has eaten my haribos and mini snickers. I need supplies to fill my box!

Freebies.... and parcels

Today the "idiots?" and I ambled in. You can say no more after a long weekend other than we ambled. First job of the day open the post. And joy of joys freebies a packet of sweets and a mini card board box. The box is perfect for keeping the sweets in. They both came from different sources but you couldn't have planned it any better. One of the "idiots?" assembled the box and it now contains the free sweets (haribo starmix) a mini snickers bar left over from last week and a packet of chewing gum as the wording on the mini box says "MAGIC".
Even better than that today I have received two parcels. Now the "idiots?" are always receiving parcels but I very rarely do. My parcels came quite early so I placed them behind my desk. Each "idiot?" in there turn has paid my parcels attention they are intrigued to know what's inside. The parcels have been studied turned around and the labels looked at.Boy would they be disappointed to find out one is white wicker laundry bin and the other is a Black and Decker hand held vacuum cleaner.Some of the parcels I have received for the "idiots?" are as followes. A set of four tyres for a jeep. A golf club. A banjo. Several guitars. numerous Mobile phones. numerous T'shirts. Shoes.Trains. A television.several cameras.And a partridge in a pear tree.
