Hey people, yeah it's a Happy Monday why!
No bullshit from the sister today or for a while now she must be freaking learning..
Although on another note I think I'm going to have to let them in on a little secret - no not this blog, this is top secret from them (evil of me I know but Tough!!!!), no the secret that any electrical gadgetry that gets bought for the house I buy and get the money back later, I mean you'd think they could figure that out that many of the lights we have I bought, the digital TV reciever we have I bought and got the replacement when it died.. No they didn't they got a new vacuum cleaner even although the old one works it's just a bit noisy and maybe just needs a good clean out as all that gets done to it is the bag changed and when it wears out the drive belt nothing else. But No they got a new one and the ONLY way mum found out was because get this it wasn't the cheap one she'd heard about and wanted but a more expensive one they had to get and weren't sure, please note mother ISN'T allowed to use this cleaner or the old one since her operation. They also unwisely got another Digital TV receiver aka a DigiBox for the spare room so dad could got to sleep there with it on and not have mother worrying so much that he was falling asleep and getting cold, not to freaking mention all the lights & the TV being left on BURNING money and at 14.5p / KWh I object to shit like that as I have to top up the meter £ 15 used to now it's £20 and it's not even like it's lasting a week :|. I might have to turn off all my PC's if this continues so the valuable work they do when I'm not on them would be lost forever... I do know one reader who knows hat I'm on about as that's how in around about way I came to be on blogger because of this particular nice lady and team mate... She's still a nice lady (dispite what her kids may say about her).
Oh and it's happy me at work now although last week was a swine (read previous post) Oh and it took me most of wednesday / thursday to get the office back to rights with everything else that was going on, still a few things to be sorted but alas they are outside my realm of expertise.
So peace y'all

Devil - Deep Blue
Hmm feel like I fucking stuck between the devil and the deep blue sea here aka the rock and a hard place.
Just as I was about to leave on Friday, boss asked to have a word..
Thought?????
He ripped into me saying I didn't look "interested" the day before when I was out working, in a bar pulling cable and it was fucking cold and I wasn't feeling 100% but of course that would have been seen as a "lame" excuse so I didn't even bother..
Basically told that another note would go in my file, that we both knew this, that he wouldn't put a written in although he could have. Apprently my colleague aka his son, sounded pissed off when he called to see how things were and all he saw was me cold, jacket wrapped around me looking miserable (aka not interested) and then I ask a question is "there anything else needs done?" a genuine question, I can't fucking read minds!
Today, I found out I was going to be working late, thought I have the job done by 4 but alas not so phoned, got sister, said I'd be able half an hour maybe, was 1 1/2 hrs...
I got the impression from the phone call I got back from her that I maybe should just give up the job since my hours "weren't suiting her" aka I was late, I don't work fixed fucking hours and she knows that already, of course if this happens again or I think i'll be running late I'll have that worry on my mind, not concentrate fully on job in hand and get fired for it or asked to leave etc...
So Do I 1) Resign with good reason 2) Stick it out even if I have no sanity left..

Wading through the BS!
Okay, meant to post this yesterday but well forgot and well it's incredible really...
Okay mum did get shouted but only because she shouted at my sister 1st saying my dad was hungry, reply why not making him a sandwich - thing is my dad eats something and that's it for like 3-4-5 hrs, what they meant was like a cup of tea and maybe a biscuit but hey I wasn't there so as far as I'm concerned it could be BS!
They have applogised to dad in around about way or so they say. The op mum had will cause mood swings apparently but that's not being taking into consideration at all, also one sister has got the whole 9 yards of sobbing to a fine art you know the kind the "but,but,but" blubbering that a kid would do that style and going I'm worried what if this and if that and what if something else a lot of fucking what if's and I now have a "list" of things to do like I don't have enough to funking do - cooking dinner, putting dishwasher on, wiping stuff down, putting the washing on, doing the ironing, zoning out totally!
It includes stuff that I'm like WHY the fuck am I do I have to do that, I mean they come down they could surely do that take them no time as they are used to it..
ARGH!!!!

Would you do this....
Okay here's the situation as you know mum isn't well, got headaches but the doc says she'll have them for a few months due to the operation she had, Dad isn't keep so good and what doesn't help is my "delightful" sisters coming in and yelling at mum to not do something like she's 5 yr old in front of my dad who they are "worried" about.
Now they are threatening to put her in a home which I think will pretty much kill dad but of course they are so blind they won't see that - my oldest sister I think is comparing mum to her mother-in-law who had senile demetia or parkinson's or something like that and couldn't be trust with anything. I get half the story from them and then I get the other half when I get home and the thing is, mum can do stuff she knows her limits or rather thinks she does steps over them and feels crap and get dad worried..
I'm doing what I can honest and dad knows this.
Okay she was told not to do anything heavy duty, no hoovering, ironing etc anything that would involve a lot of weight on her right hand as it's not 100% yet, she did get taking in on sunday as she did some hoovering but I think she overdid it - lesson learned - no she got shouted at on the monday about it, I get "told" as well, getting sick of that "tone" now.
Also she was told there was stuff in the freezer that she could cook for her and dad if I was going to be late or if they fancied it but now she isn't allowed as they might want chips with it - thing is this, mother never ever leaves the chip pan unattended - we have one that sits on the stove, it does the job nicely but no that's not good enough I think what's happening is sisters are hearing 2nd / 3rd hand and taking it the wrong way, nothing new there! She was told off about that as well before the both stormed out, now what was I saying about 5 yr olds...
None of this of course helps dad out he gets tensed up and that him all day practically. Today one of them was in and acted like "nothing" had gone on, no apology nothing....
So the question is this HOW The funk would you deal with this, stuck in the middle as I am should do apart from take both my sisters and bang their heads together!
I don't think mum should be in a home but I won't be asked that question as my sister will DECIDE, over my dad's dead body - his words by the way, not mine.

Is it really almost a week since New Year.
Well it seems longer than that let me tell you. As you know I was working every day and that's probably why it seems longer than and having to do the logistics for the house not easy especially when you try and do the shopping on-line and you don't get any aisle selection so thus can't select anything at all, I eventually did find a form filled it out and I hope it's dealt with soon..
I'm going to speak to the boss about a slight change in hours short term that is.
To everyone out there who's left a comment or written me an e-mail saying they are thinking of me, thank you - although that doesn't even cover it.
To a few very special people out there I want to thank not you but your mother's for bringing you into this world, teaching you all they could about right and wrong and even although they are getting on in years, your not old just a recycled teenager :), thank you.
