Reilly's CCXXXXIII: A Home Away From Home.

[Sonfest Rocker]

One year between holidays is too long especially if you have been unwell. Have you got any holidays owing that you can take?

I have holidays owing but I'm booked for end of next month..
I've been unwell for years... I rarely get sick but have been mentally Ill for years

 

[Sonfest Rocker]

Hi all!

SF are you having a not so good day m'dear?

No I'm having a fine day... I had a bit of an off day yesterday... Let the old me slip out for a little while and may have hurt people..

 

[Tawny]

I am sorry to hear that, I am sure you will not have hurt people as badly as you think.

 

[Starlightsobright]

Wow the end of October. That must be the week you are going to the Melbourne Cup!

It is

 

[Sonfest Rocker]

I'm getting tired so it is time for me to say goodnight and take care..

 

[Starlightsobright]

Are you going for a whole week or just the Race day?

 

[Starlightsobright]

Good night

 

[Starlightsobright]

Good night

Back from lunch now. Had a ham and cheese sambo.

It's Spag Bol when I get home tonight...

 

[Starlightsobright]

Hello are you cooking that tonight?

 

[Anhelyna]

I'll bet he's not - he's a man .

Oh - I'll be having pork sausages and rice

 

[Starlightsobright]

Hello How are you?

 

[Starlightsobright]

We had roast and vegetables from yesterday.

 

[Anhelyna]

I'd love to have a roast - but for one person it's just not possible - far too expensive and small roasts are proportionately ghastly expensive.

I buy my meat , mainly online when the Firm has bargain offers and their steaks , though individually packed are so big that one will give me 2 meals so instead of a box giving me 16 portions it often gives me about 24-30 so to me it's economic. It's all pre-frozen and sent by courier packed in dry ice .

 

[S.ilvio]

I'll bet he's not - he's a man .

You know me too well...

I never had that combination before. Sounds interesting. Do you have a sauce with it..?

I did not know you can't or won't cook.

My husband lives for cooking. If he does a Sunday roast he usually makes one for the Monday night too.

 

[Anhelyna]

NOpe - no sauce . I cut the sausages into wee slices so they will cook quickly [ pan fried ]

and the rice usually has some veggies thrown in with it - and there's a bottle of beer beside my plate - that's sauce enough

 

[Starlightsobright]

That sounds like a nice meal. It sounds like you have your online shopping all worked out.
I think its a great idea. We do ours weekly but we live in suburbia so its much easier of course.

 

[Anhelyna]

Thought this RANT would appeal - I got it in earlier

Dear The New Boss,

You really are taking the [bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse].

I'm stressed out because:
* tomorrow is report day;
* some still haven't been written; and
* a few people (mostly you) have been circulating reports as attachments rather than sharing links to the documents on the network. This is how multiple versions enter the work flow.

As usual, you strolled in at 09:30 and will probably leave soon after 17:00. So much for a full day's work. But wait, it gets even better. You disappeared for close to an hour for lunch (we have 30 minutes, but employer is flexible) but have just come back and sat down to eat! [bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse] have you been doing the last hour? Come to think of it, you do this nearly every day.

You work short days, take 90 minute lunches, spend ages rolling cigarettes. Then you focus on pointless things, like reviewing someone's draft of a new report template. There are reports to sort out NOW, and you still have minutes to write up from a meeting last week, so why are you wasting time on 'fixing' something that's not broken?!?

Here's hoping you fail your probationary period.

Poor guy - he won't be leaving the Office till about 7 - something just HAVE to be done today
