Work
We are starting a major contract this morning. That is bad enough, but add to that:

a) We are short on the ground already, 5 people doing 8 peoples work, with innumerable miles between each job;

b) a bitch of a boss, who bullies, harangues, and generally demeans everyone, unless they are captain brown nose;

And, worst of all;- c) it's f***ing ASDA.

I could weep.

That is tempting fate
I bet the next news we get will be that we have that contract too.

Any good cliffs in Hampshire that anyone can recommend? Beachyhead is such a drive.

Devil's Punchbowl just outside Winchester
Not so much as a cliff as 'a bit of a hill', but it's lovely round there, nice enough perhaps to dissuade you from the 'coward's way out'...

Otherwise there are plenty of motorway bridges which amply make up for the lack of cliffage.

Work seconded
Captain brown nose, as you so excellently put it, is pissing me off today.

The boss we share had a holiday last week and is only back today. Despite doing effectively nothing last Thursday and Friday, Captain Brown Nose is on the phone to the returning boss with this huge list of difficult tasks she undertook last week. Apparently she got into like this massive argument with XXX and normally she'd just agree but this time she had to put her foot down.

Meanwhile me and a few colleagues listen with eyes-a-rollin.
