Waiting...waiting...waiting...

I'm waiting for Mal to call me after the end of his meeting tonight - he's probably out with his buddies having coffee somewhere.

So while I'm waiting I thought I would update you on how things have been this week...

Extremely busy - I know when the staff need me to speak with a difficult client they go in this childlike voice "Jeannie..." I go YES????? can you speak to this lady - she's not happy and she wants to speak to my supervisor....

I put my adult voice on because sometimes when people ring me at home they ask to speak to my mum - what the!!!! I am the mum, anyhoo...... I got abused left right and centre by this neurotic woman who was podantic with every aspect of her mortgage - okay so one of the staff members made a mistake and I apologised profusely and fixed up her loan, but there is no need to carryon like a lunatic...after the phone call I put up a sign that says "don't bother me I'm cranky". When I wasn't looking someone took the sign down and hung it gently on my back - larf larf.....NOT!

I'm still waiting..........

On a positive note though my Manager came back on Tuesday - and said she would like to take me out to lunch and say thank you for covering her role while she was away - I was pretty shocked as I don't think she's ever said thank you for anything. It was a lovely lunch especially since I didn't have to pay (oops those Scot genes are getting out of control again).

Have you ever tried to push a wheelie bin across the yard after it has been raining for 10 days straight - in high heels and a long skirt????? (when are you coming home Mal) needless to say I didn't have time to clear the mud off because as usual I was running late....

Still waiting......

It has gotten cold here - after 9 mths of beautiful warm weather you can start to fill the chill in the air and if you don't wear a warm jacket in the office you will freeze to death because "they" don't know how to turn the airconditioning down.

So this morning I get one of my suits out that I haven't worn since last winter and notice the hem has gone on both legs at the bottom - I thought if I iron the seams in really hard that will keep them up - it appeared to work until I got out of the car and walked across the carpark - I saw these straggley cuffs hanging down - what the!!!!! so I get into work and ask if anyone has a needle and thread (as if) so one of the girls says staple them - so I stapled them and
wa-la it stayed up - no need to sew them up now... (ohhh please mum don't read this....)

waiting patiently.....

The day proceeded to go from bad to worse. I found out that the
G-Train has been suspended for 1 match - not for striking but the "intent" to strike - hello - give me a break. However, without him I know we can still win...I will pray anyway "support ye the saints"

Well looks like I'll call it a nite - can't keep my eyes open any longer......"ring ring" its the phone!!

I'm outta here
