you would like mine then . Just before lockdown she ****ed off for over an hour before i found her . She had gone off chasing Canada Geese which flew overhead was later seen fighting a swan and when she came back she was absolutely filthy , stunk to high heaven , shivering and looking quite sorry for herself .
Not too bad thanks luvvy, going a bit crazy but might be going back to work a couple of days a week now which should help. Gutted that I'm not going to Wales next week but that's life init. Hope you're good?
Beach lifeguards used to be employed by the local authority, but the RNLI took it on in around 2005. The beach lifeguards are paid, but the lifeboat crews are volunteer. The reasoning behind that (rightly or wrongly) is that Lifeguard cover is 7 days per week between 9am-6pm during the season (Easter to Oct) so they have to be present each day, whereas lifeboat crews work other jobs but go out on shouts when needed. There's no lifeguard cover atm, partly because the staff aren't working. But also because lifeguards have to take a test each year to keep up their qualifications. They usually take place just before Easter, just as the RNLI are signing them up for the season. But of course because of the lockdown, none of them have been able to do their tests, so none are 'officially' qualified. The lifeboat crew are on duty, as are the coastguard search and rescue (also volunteers) so there is emergency cover. And they have been out over the last few days for various shouts. The thing the lifeguards do really well though is preventative work, so they'll spot the danger before it becomes an emergency. You really don't want to be in a position where you're being plucked out by the lifeboat crew, because that means things have already gone badly wrong.
Yes I'm good, working from home and hoping that it becomes the norm for me. It's the same job but without the traveling and annoying people.
Been told not to come into the office til January if I don’t want to. I know there is talk of binning quite a lot of office space as well as everyone working from home has proved just as productive as being in an office. I’m hoping I never have to go in again besides the odd meeting
I'm looking forward to going back. Parts of my job can't be done remotely so will be good to get up n running again.
Everything can be done at home for me so no reason to go back and I really don't like the majority of the people I work with...I suppose I don't like the majority of people really so all good.
Famous for it in work, this was a genuine exchange a while back. Idiot. "You coming out for a few drinks after work, we're going to (generic chain pub)? luv. "No I'm going to get the train home." Idiot. "Cmon don't be boring." luv. "It's not that I'm boring I just don't like you." Idiot. "Oh, right, ok see you later."
Yeah I’ve had a similar conversation. An old job of mine there was some tradition thing that everyone goes for a drink on Friday after work. I never went as I spent 40+ hours a week with these ****s just because we work together, I didn’t want to spend anymore time with them and especially not a Friday night. This is when I would normally go and spend time with people I actually wanted to see After them asking me for like the 20th time and I couldn’t be ****ed making up an excuse I basically accused the main organiser of being a complete loser with no mates who had to hang out with work mates as no other **** would go for a beer with him. He didn’t ask me again
Needed one or two things so thought I'd go to Tesco early doors. Short Q no problem. Did not consider the NHS thing. So there's some gobby bird clearly not happy with the length of a very short Q of about 12 people who starts marching down the Q asking people if they are NHS. She didn't ask me. I just waited and asked the girl at the door who politely said yes NHS only for the first 30 minutes. No problem I'll go back in a short while. The gobby woman though, what a ****. She'll be on Facebook while shopping having a rant about people like me turning up in the NHS Q.
