November already

Wow I really should post more often here but well I guess I've been caught up in work and stuff since I went back and well been busy doing other stuff like facebook :P..
Well today I was going to try and plant some bulbs, I managed to get a few planted last sunday but well like then it's raining so no outside work today and I do need to give the lawn a quick once over..
I also really need to get a move on and start getting Christmas presents. I know but well I better start now...

Back to Work I guess

Well been back 2 days and I wish I had never taken a holiday or I had left instruction using words of 1 Sybille or less, I kid yeah not..
Had to go in early yesterday due for another reason entirely.......
I gets the pile of paperwork that's been "left" i'll still working through it I gave up yesterday it gave me a headache...
I mean the system I have in place is simple.
Job comes in, job sheet filled out with Date, job number, name, address, postcode, phone numbers, what it is fault/quote /other, new or existing customer, alarm type (if it applies), space for problem / description of job and a few other bit if they need to be filled out.. I come back to about 20 nearly blank sheets, half assed filled out not impressed, at least they were able to open the job sheet spreadsheet and get the job numbers in sequence mind you they DID not bother to LOOK at the existing job sheet file or on the spreadsheet as I found a few "duplicated" sheets not impressed.
Now I have another sheet and a template that goes with it for invoicing now I explained and WROTE down what happens when an invoice is associated with a job it's not just Invoice number XXXX any more it's Invoice Number XXXX/Job number.. with the name and address of where it's to go and the rest of the invoice filled out..
The invoices sent spreadsheet has all the invoices that have been sent out from about 2006 so we are up to a fairly highish number, now only thing i've not been able to do is get it to do on save of the spreadsheet to add a line in for that number (just incase I'm updating one) so I have to manually write this in and it thus gets the next free number.. I find a fucking duplicate don't I oh and it's not like the duplicates were done on the SAME day which could mean same time and thus not update the spreadsheet between them oh no fucking 10 days! I get it in the neck for other stuff as well... Things that well SHOULD have been SPOTTED oh about 7 fucking months ago when the timesheets were done for this year oh NO not spotted :| GFDIATH...
Woosah was said a lot yesterday and today as i get back into the groove.. Oh and I'm meant to ask if something's been paid when I've been told that's all the customer alarm renewal sheets back, all of them, I'm meant to ASK not the fucking BITCH that's seen all the checks and has them in SAGE on her laptop... oh no I'm meant to ask, fuck off.. Communication is a 2 way thing, I only get shouted at for crap she should have double checked with ME at the time not waited..
I'm never taking 2 weeks off a fucking gain unless it's when nothing needs to go out and no work needs doing then I'll do it..
But hey I had fun, the back garden is all done, 12 60 liter bags of mini wood chips later, just got to try and find a good day to clean the greenhouse glass of all the green that's on it, put up some trellising for the clematis for next year.
Oh and put some manure in the front garden and then some more back chips.
All in all I had fun and actually enjoyed doing it.
Between doing that and getting a jacket sorted for my sisters wedding this Saturday it's been fun, yeah I'm glad to back at work (NOT!).

Holiday

Well i'm now on day 2 of my 2 week vacation / holiday, call it what you may and well I've done a bit of work in the garden just like I said I would on my internal list - some people thought they needed to tell me off for not doing it, well they've been stressed and other people getting on their nerves doesn't help..
I did 2 of the flower beds on Saturday afternoon after i came back from lunch and mowed the grass as well. I was out to lunch again on Sunday, well I took my godmother out as it was her birthday the day before and then I went on a long walk to work it off since it was a nice day. I did plan on doing more of the garden yesterday but the weather wasn't being particularly nice so I wasn't able to do much but I still found things to do..
Today I did managed to get out there for a few hours and i got 1 bed done, only 1 i hear you say well I wanted to make sure every god darn bit of chickweed and all the other weeds were gone and back chips were covering everything which they are...
Roll on tomorrow, when I need to be up early yet again..
Oh yeah I'm on holiday so I wake up between 6 - 7 am just like NORMAL, great.

Peace...

Ah what a difference a day makes, or rather a fortnight. I can smile more okay there are times still when I feel down but these are fewer. So I think just maybe the "stuff" I'm taking is working. Yes it working I'm seeing the daylight once again.. It's nice. To those that matter thank you..

Who am I?

That is a rather good question don't you think...
Let's see I'll be 35 soon, I stay will my mum, always have really..
I'm really not one for going out at all.
I don't smoke, I drink on a Friday / Saturday night IF i feel like it and can afford it.
I'm a quiet and shy person, happy to let others shine.
I was bullied at school since I was "bright","different" and yeah one of the smallest to boot.
I'm happy to help others.
I'm being the strong one for my mum and my sisters and everyone else who needs me.
I think I'm loosing my mind..
My day is wake up at around 7, get cup of tea and slice of toast for breakfast, check my e-mail and other stuff on my pc while eating breakfast, drive to work getting the paper on the way, work sometimes challenging sometimes not, drive home again, eat dinner, maybe watch the simpsons, grab a shower, sit at pc rest of the evening, go to bed and try to get to sleep maybe getting to sleep at 1am.
Saturdays I generally sleep a little later till maybe 10, shower, check e-mail (well clear the spam out), take mum to lunch then for the weekly shop, back home on the pc after putting shopping away making a cup of tea sometimes.
Sunday is like Saturday but with the lunch and shopping.
I do sometimes look after the nephew so Shopping is either done later on the Saturday or on the Sunday depends.

It's all I see to have the inclination to do.

Ya think I need to get away from it all?

Who listens to the listener...

Who listens to those who listen and help others out?
Who helps those who put others before themselves, hearts on sleeves and all that.
The quiet, shy ones, those willing to stay out of the light so others may shine.

I need help, I think I do - I'm not sure..
I was plucking up the courage to ask someone out when well someone else beat me to the punch, the trouble being they are also a friend of mine, and well you don't steal your mates girl do you... I had to tell her though so she knows how I feel..
I see them "together" and it hurts, between that and the cold I have my emotional state is well "off", just a little.

I need to open up more but well I've always been one to lock it away, no-one needs to know my problems they have enough problems of their own don't they..

Just pray for me dear friends, just pray.

Another month is almost gone

Hmm it's almost the end of June already, where the heck has time gone this year.

Let me see what's been happening, well couple of new people starting at work to replace some that are leaving, all I will say is this "thank god, amen!".
Oh yeah if you like cherries, try and pick up some Spanish Picota cherries, if it says anything other than "product of Spain" it lies and you should report the supplier for fraud as well these cherries have well let's just call it "international food copyright" I would say they are good but got some on Saturday afternoon with the shopping and by Sunday they were finished, nice sweet juicy and most snackable.
I'm off to see Transformers 2 on Wednesday and Harry Potter on the 15th got my tickets for both.
Oh I am no gardener I have discovered this although I've not really killed anything well maybe one or two things that weren't in the best of health and got a little dry although I am watering everything pretty much every day that it needs it, if I not too frazzled! I have been picking fresh peas as well although they were meant to be planted outside of the greenhouse someone didn't think right and well lets just say they grew a lot quicker than they thought and thus got stuck in there since it would have been foolish to try and move them as I discover when I tried to move one slightly it's now almost dead, hanging on in there.. there is one corner that pretty much dead it's was a stupid place to plant something it's where the outside tap is in the corner where you don't really pay it any attention so not really my fault, my sister is the gardener not me..
Oh Mel, Laura, Barb I've had to repot those lilies you sent and I think I may have to split 1 maybe 2 of them into smaller plants as they are getting rather big and out growing what pots I can find, maybe I should go get some more pots?
