Old T the wind up merchant

So much for my "thank crunchie I'm in the chill tomorrow" comment. I actually had a better day yesterday, even with all the oxygen crap.

I didn't get to speak to P as much as I thought I would although we chatted a wee bit. We said we would run away together cos he didn't want to be at work and didn't want to go home either. He said he didn't mind where we went as long as he could go fishing. Then later said he didn't care about the fishing, as long as he was with me he would be happy.

I very much doubt it... an hour with me and he's be screaming to go back home.

Aside from that I was beyond freezing. It was baltic in there today and our chill jacket has gone walkabout so I was just in my overalls all day. My hands were going all kinds of weird shades of red & purple and my face felt like it must do to have botox injections that go wrong and paralyse your whole face. fun times.

Eventually I asked Russell if there were any spare chill jackets kicking around and he gave me one from the Transport office that just about came down to my ankles. So I wore it long enough to thaw out a bit then put it back.

After last teabreak Old T managed to totally piss me off by going on about how Big Busta [one of his gaffers whose face cracks if he smiles - I've seen him smile about 3 times in 5 years] has "clocked" me because I'm standing around the chill and I was like "clocked me how? I'm not doing anything!" [meaning I'm not doing anything I'm not supposed to be doing] and Old T was like "yeah exactly, you just stand there doing nothing all day, you better watch yourself, thats all I'm saying". He's such an arse. He knows I check stuff. And that unless Hugh is off I don't really have anything else to do so I might as well wait for the pallettes to check them. I don't know what his problem was although maybe it was just that I hadn't been standing around talking to HIM all day. Like I used to. But that was when I was young and stupid. The way he went on today just reminded me of why I stopped speaking to him for months. He had been nice as pie since I started talking to him agian a few weeks ago but I guess thats the end of that.

So that had me pissed off the rest of the day. Maybe because he had a bit of a point, but then I am supposed to be checking the stuff in there. Just because Shug hates going in there and avoids it as much as possible doesn't mean I'm not meant to go in either.

Anyway in other news, Tucks is still saying "ich leibe dich". He said it in my direction again but then next time he said it to Mad S. And then to the ceiling. When I said that him and Old D better watch who they say it to as people might think they MEAN it, D said "most of them don't know what it means though" then Tucks was like "yeah but Zara keeps going round telling everyone!! Big P was ripping the piss out me yesterday for saying I loved mad S" haha!! I did mention it to P...

mad S is heading for the chop tomorrow. he had to go to the office and take someone with him. So that'll be him out the door. They don't make you take a witness just to get a warning.

Ali G has been off all weekend too since apparently his woman is away on her hols so the guys are convinced he has gone on a bender. Since he is also on his final final final written warning he will likely be sacked as well. So I may go from getting £12 in petrol money to getting nothing - I'm such a mercenary!! But that money pays for my breakfasts without me having to remember to put money in my bag!!!

Actually speaking of money I did win the lottery thunderball at work for the second week in a row and the third time since I started in it about 2 months ago!! a whopping £14 - I'm totally minted now!
