Thing is, when its a family business, certain employees get a free pass, can't upset the apple cart, so the non-family employees are the ones who get the brunt of the boss's frustrations. "Do as we say, not as we do..........."

Been there in my early days of working career experiencing that type of crap thrown out you, said bye bye after covering other people's laziness, I use to put my hand out for more pay, if refused I moved on which was the usual case.

If you are a good worker, you will find other jobs.

Pest control, a simple F off should have done the job quite well

I had the perfect opportunity, upon hearing the distinct sound of a GM Streamliner, to run over the road and take some pictures as it chuffed by.

Even better as it came into view, the train was a double header with 2 1950's Streamliners pulling it. Excitedly, I managed to get three pictures only to discover the camera's memory ran out of space on 2 and the first picture had the first diesel behind a large tree !! dumar*e.

I think the next town heard my disappointment.

Waited an hour for a simple blood test that took all of two minutes to complete.

Try Tuesday next time, Monday's tend to get every man and his dog wanting blood tests first thing in the mornings.
I find Tuesday the best day of the week.

Yeah, it was a last-minute thing and I had to fast as well, so it was a double whammy. I also picked the wrong collection place as well.

I, too, had to do a blood test yesterday. Knowing that Monday mornings are normally terrible coz all the oldies get in there after the weekend and early coz they hate fasting, I was dreading the wait. I play golf on Mondays and didn't want to play too late in the day so took the punt. I got in at around 8:40 and I was the only person in the waiting room! Both attendants were busy, so I did have to wait about 5 minutes, but I was pleasantly surprised!

Pity the golf wasn't as good. But I'd rather be playing a crap round of golf on a cracker weather day than be playing a good round in bad weather
