turns out that when i've been on holiday all everyone has done at work was f**k about, so it seems i've loads of complaints from customers and other members of staff to deal with when i go back in on wednesday.
also another chef left when i was away and it seems he did his best to try and cause trouble by switching off all the fridges and freezers.
but the biggest problem is some f**kwitt cut the power cable to a freezer and left it plugged in and the exposed wire was resting against a metal bench, which a chef leaned on and was blown across the kitchen by the shock and is still in hospital.

dont want to go back to work now !!!!!!
 
Bloody hell, at least he's still breathing. There will be some fur flying when you go back though!

I had a truly disastrous shift last night, only mitigated by the unfailing good humour and hard work of my fellow supervisor and our team. Like rochie, not looking forward to going back in and seeing the bosses tomorrow!
 
Just discovered that my bank account has been emptied by a (presumably) Chinese company with an internet address , which I've never even heard of!!
The annoying thing is, I can't get any cash until the actual payment against my card number is claimed by the company concerned - only then can the bank stop the payment, launch an investigation into fraud, and reimburse me. It seems payments are authorised first, thereby immediately affecting my 'available balance', then paid when called for by the company concerned. Had to cancel my card, and now left with about £3 in cash in my pocket ! F*****g B*ll*cks !!!!
So watch out for a company with the name something like GZ Chuan Xin.
The really spooky bit is I don't know how they got my details - any on-line purchases I've made have been to known, secure outlets.
 
Damn Terry, I sure hope it gets sorted out ASAP by your bank, and you get your money back!

My annoying thing for today?
I got sent off to *shudders* Ikea, to buy some vases for the museum.
As some of you might know, we open our special exhibit on thursday about the police in Greenland, and all of the brass'll be there.
Some of the ladies at the museum then thought that it would be a brilliant idea that we have some vases with flowers to decorate the entrance and reception area, and so I was sent off shopping.
Btw, please don't ask me about flowers, I'm an expert at killling the poor things, not making them grow!
Now, I haven't been to Ikea ever since...well, ever since I moved away from home when I was 18 years old, and I'm 44 years old today, and so...well, it's been a while since my last Ikea visit.

Never again will I go to that godawful place voluntarily!!!

Imagine a huge warehouse, chock-full of gaudy-coloured knick-knack and "smart" garbage, furniture that's all sharp, clean edges ("Design" is what it's called, I think!), and nest-builders (Yeurgh!!!) with a poor defenseless sap of a hubby in tow!
YIKES!!!
I took a deep breath, went in, got the %¤%¤ vases, paid the friggin' stuff and fled.
Ew! Ew! Ew! Ew! Ew! Ew! Ew! Ew! Ew! Ew! Ew! Ew! Ew! Ew! Ew! Ew! Ew! Ew! Ew! Ew! Ew! Ew! Ew! Ew! Sheer hell!
I hereby re-christen Ikea "The Helmand Province"! *fumes*

Thanks Maria, hopefully it will be sorted soon, meanwhile, I'm skint !
Sorry to hear of your trip to the Swedish Stalag ! Some of their stuff can be useful, at reasonable prices, but the rest ....!
The best thing that comes out of Ikea is the road back into town !!!
BTW, by (age) 'today', do you mean 'now', or is it your Birthday today ?
If so, then 'Happy Birthday'.
If not, then 'Happy Birthday' for when it is / was !!!
 
Karl, I'm utterly shocked by what has been going on in your kitchen while your away, what a bunch of morns you must be having to work with, I just don't understand why people have become so callus and vindictive. You must be crestfallen and be wondering what the hell you're going to do.

Terry, this is nothing new, I've had to get two new cards inside 12 months due to compromising transactions on the credit card. Like you I use only known and trusted sites and where ever possible use PayPal and I have three forms of security on my computer and yet somehow these scumbags still get into the system. I've taken to checking all my accounts at very regular intervals for any wayward transactions.
 
Nephew gave us a scare last night. Had a Mountain Bike accident which knocked him out cold and put him in the Hospital. Not clear on the details, but sounds like he will be OK. Slight concusion, were doing x-rays on his neck and cleaning him up last I heard last evening. I assume he spent the evening in the hospital for observation? Have not heard anytihng else today so I am assuming all is still OK. Not a good way to end a 3 day weekend. I assume he missed the first day back to school today as well.
 
Thanks. Spoke to my Sister at noon today. He is doing well. Seems he was riding on a Mountain Bike trail and was crossing very narrow bike bridge with no railings on the sides. Buddies that were with him said it appeared his handlebar snagged on a branch and he fell off the bridge. Was knocked out cold face down at the bottom of the ravine and not able to breath. Luckily one of his buddies had emergency training and stabilized his head and neck before turning him over. Pretty good thinking for a 16 year old.
Thankfully he is at home resting. He can't remember much of the accident, has some nasty lacerations on his face, and a extremely sore neck. Will miss a few days of high school and needs to see a head injury specialist just as a precaution, but appears to be fine and making jokes about the incident.
 
Thanks Maria. Things definately could have been worse. Head injuries scare me. I know I have some memory issues due to car and motorcycle accidents so I hope he does not suffer that as well. Hopefully there are no long term effects, but he seems to be doing well. Seemed it was the weekend for head injuries in my family this weekend. Friends cat was scratching an old chair and I bent over to pet him and smacked my forehead on the top of the chair. Saw stars had to stand up and clear my head for a minute, left a mark on my forehead. Nothing near what the nephew experienced.
