You sure it wasn't half past sodding four?

Or half past sodding two?

Morning. I just called the organisation and said I'd be happy to work in the projects where I was for my interview, and I'd happily work on the school project if I was in a team, but I felt it was unsafe if I was on my own in the school project, so they've withdrawn my application.

The Saga continues...

I visited the workshop this morning to make sure the staff there knew I'd declined purely because of the H&S issues on the schools project, and their response was "We'd actually really like you to come: could you do just the three days in the workshop?" This would be much better from my point of view, so they said they'd suggest that to the boss.

I also wanted to call their supervisor, because she'd interviewed me. When I did I got exactly the same response, so now they will all suggest that further up the chain of command, such as it is, and We'll see what happens.

Actually, this has another advantage, namely that I can offer any other possible employer a regular Monday and Friday appointment rather than saying I can only offer three out of four Mondays and Fridays per month which would be complicated.

So, all prayers/good vibes/happy thoughts you can spare please direct them at the Big Boss, that when he comes back from holiday he agrees to me working a three day week and not doing the schools work...

Guess who got up an hour too early today. I'd not reset the alarm clock. It was only after I'd had a shave and had a wash that I realised I was too early. Back to bed for an hour.

I knew I was too early, but apparently my metabolism didn't. I'm not sure that is any better: the result was the same...

It is amazing how some people can twist things around so that it feels like you are in the wrong !

Sadly I have known several people like that. They make you doubt your own judgement. Years, or even decades later, I booted them out of my life.

The above statement falls into the category of "long story short".

Chinstrap, maybe?

Was good enough for the Australian army.

Now on the train to Peterborough, just left Ely station so I'm in @Reynard land.

Unfortunately the bin men hadn't been by the time I left home so the wheelie bin will not be taken in until Tuesday. Also I forgot to cancel tomorrow's milk delivery.

We don't have 'scallies' round here, just pensioners who've overdone the Sanatogen!
