The Importance of Being Idle

The Only Good Thing About That Game Was That It Ended

Thursday eh? Never could get the hang of Thursdays. In fact things went wrong almost immediately when I went to pick my boss up and he was still asleep, and continued to be so for the next hour! Then the van we went to pick up wasn't fixed in any traditional sense (in that it over-heated wildly and dropped power like it was going out of style). Then the place I had to collect from was unstaffed and when I FINALLY got into London to make my first drop I got a parking ticket despite being parked directly in front of the sign that said it was okay for me to park here. The traffic warden was utterly unhelpful, I approached him calmly to ask him to explain the violation, but he wouldn't even make eye contact let alone talk, and that DID make me angry. Still, that said Thursday ended and we all moved on.
To Friday, and my seven thirty pick-up at IKEA. Which wasn't ready on time. "Fifteen minutes" we were told, so we waited, and then another fifteen minutes and another and so on until five hours later we finally got loaded and left! The actual delivery was fine, the customer was pleased to see us as IKEA had been stringing them along for far too long with their usual bullshit, and then it was time to turn around and come home. But so many jobs passed us by today, must've been a good two or three we could've done and extra pennies that could've been made. Bloody IKEA, must've cost me a fortune today. Tossers.
So another working week comes to a close, and the weekend is upon us, at last.
My brother flew off the the States for a couple of weeks today. I know surprisingly little about where he's going or what he's gonna get up tp (perhaps wisely) but I hope he has a really good time. He deserves it, he's been having it rough lately and a good happy holiday is just what he needs! Hope he arrived okay, assuming his flights are even supposed to have arrived yet!
