Is it just the time of year or is anyone else fed up with work
I did'nt want to get up monday, yesterday i put a last minute holiday in and today hit the snooze button three times... Really fed up

Tolerance will be our undoing.

There is probably a very small section of the population that lives to work but I think most of us work to live and have experienced those feelings on more than one occasion. Like Struv, although I don't have so many toys, I motivate myself by thinking of the alternative. Mundane work beats no work, every time.

I guess I am lucky that my job is a vocation
Even as a manager I still make a difference to people's lives

I don't work any more cos I'm retired - believe me that brings its own problems! Seriously thinking of trying to find a job!

Work is a complete bag of bollocks at the moment. I am however posted to Woodbridge which will bring about a whole new bag.. God only knows what I'll find when I get there however the future is looking bright as even though it's at the epicentre of Engineer Paras.. Cherry beret? GFYS..
Final year and a half resettlement before I get out and become a porn star or something equally good where I can shaft instead of be shafted...
Actually, I might just clean windows for a living. for which I need one ton of dust and earth.. one suck and blow garden vacuum, a ladder a sponge, a bucket and not to get caught going round blowing dust everywhere the week before I go round offering to clean windows..

Works ace. Love it. And no, for a change I'm not being sarcastic

Most motorcycle problems are caused by the nut that connects the handle bars to the saddle.

And to add to the hobbits problems, he is going to have to buy a complete set of replica shirts so he can follow his new local team
Woodbridge is an Ipswich suburb - so at least Tim will be able to get along to Portman Road as a season ticket local....
i may be about to die......

Why would anyone want to support Ipswich Town?

If you work outside, this is the hardest time of year, about to get harder when the clocks go wrong at the end of the month, dark when you start,dark when you finish, cold and wet......but....................
the shortest day is Dec 21st, then the days start to get longer again

I did mention it's an EOD squadron?
Expect "fireworks", nursey.
I have ordered another Norwich shirt specially for when Im forced to go shopping in the local village.. Missus has been informed under no circumstances is she to venture into Ipshit or she will be decontaminated on her return with bucketfuls of bleachy water. She knows i'm not joking either!!
And Bobbi, that's an idea!

Work's never been better for me
Not looking forward to valeting bikes outside when it's close to, or below freezing in a few weeks though
Hopefully I'll get a sudden rush of cushy VentureShield installation jobs in nice heated bike showrooms
