Its been one of those weeks as they say. Monday I went to the meeting at work to be told that all those saved on friday from losing their job, would now, with the rest be losing it again by march. Its an odd way to treat people and then to be asked to keep up the good work seems just a trifling insulting.
Rest of the week
1. Last friday I also slashed my thumb with a stanley knife whilst trying to lay carpet tiles. The medical centre 20 yards over the road refused to help, even to call a paramedic. Eventually I managed to call, which was difficult as I was having to keep a lot of pressure on my thumb to try and staunch the bleeding, as I had, it turned out, slashed through a vein. Eventually after passing out and ending in hospital I was given 4 stitches and sent on my way.
2. Monday sacked again, thats twice in 3 months.
3. Wednesday started a bonfire to clear the garden. Spotted long piece of wood and lent it against the steps to snap it in half with my foot. Did the karate chop with foot, one end of wood sprang up and smacked me in the mouth, leaving me dazed, staggering around a bonfire and a gash in my chin, which gushed blood. I didn't bother with the medical centre this time just staggered around holding my chin and calling myself a fuckwit.
4. Wednesday afternoon. Spotted odd shaped thing in the bonfire, bent down to pick it up. Thing was red hot, what a surprise!!!, and burnt a hole through thumb and finger. Spent next 20 minutes with hand in water cursing myself. Went to meeting and spent whole meeting with hand in a bucket of water and the odd thing was, no one asked me why.
Now I know that I am not a genius, but Im not moron either. (what's that) Only a moron would put his hand in a fire!!!. Well I grant you its not the sharpest thing I have done recently. In fact I seem to have become Buster Keeton, or is that laurel and hardy.
Anyhoos as SB would say its been one of those weeks and no one must laugh you mother *******.
I hope you all have a good weekend.
Take care ( from an expert)
I've been reading your blog for ages and never commented before but couldn't not comment on this one!
ReplyDeleteJust to say that I didn't laugh at all (ahem), well only at the part where you spent the whole meeting with your hand in a bucket of water and nobody asked you why. I can totally imagine that happening here too!
I hope next week is not eventful at all for you!
I am not laughing promise! But the lack of curiosity by your fellow members is remarkable. You have had a rough week. Not sure that I would want to go for a drive with you.
ReplyDeleteHi Findon,
ReplyDeleteCaught up a bit on your blog, sounds like your going through hell with your employer. Last year, at this time, I was starting to carry a huge resentment towards mine,with the poor treatment and constant changes of their staff. It lead to a depression that wouldn't lift. T'was the closest I came to drinking in my short period of sobriety.
It was AA that kept me sober, my service commitments and my understanding home group were key elements. Glad I'm still here with you.
Love your advice. :)
Take it easy.
I sure as hell am not laughing. You poor man. I hope everything heals up quickly and nicely.
ReplyDeleteSorry to hear about the job. It sure is a shitty way to treat people.
Love you much!
no i'm not laughing either!! stopped by for the first time :) helloooo
