Default Worst day of the year goes to...

... today.

Delayed trains, everyone back moaning and groaning after Christmas break. Decorations are down, no cheer and smell of rotten pies left from the party before the break.

So I booked our holiday and bought a blue-ray player to cheer myself up.

Looks at clock!

LOL

Same here! Snow and delayed trains... first train was jam packed, second one I got a seat \o/ first time in my life on a Monday.

15mins late... not going too badly considering I have a new manager. So far so good.

Todays actually been pretty good, nice and quiet which is always nice for a 6am start. Nice light covering of snow to play with while bored at work, and some nice intresting people to talk to.

Roads were mental though, why does everyone I encounter appear to be incapable of driving in conditions that are anything other than perfect (of course, then they drive slowly to appriciate the damn conditions)

I had an 8.30 dentists appointment. Turned up... and the hygienist I was meant to be seeing left in August. Great! Got to work and there's over 100 calls for password resets. Tomorrow we have 369 new PCs arriving to be installed over the next four months.

It's good to be back!

Pah Lightweights.

I was back in work last Friday. The only saving grace was that it meant I didn't waste a days holiday

Snowing again in Chelmsford. last lot just about turned to mush, froze and fresh on top. Its going to be fun. I have told work that I'm not going to Leeds this week as it will be -6c when I need to leave tomorrow morning. I don't fancy twisting my knee again.

One of the managers left with no notice at the end of the year. Just upped and went, leaving us in the shyte somewhat. The thing was she had the easiest job out of all of us o_O

This is funny when I read your posts and picture you all wearing flatcaps and stringvests and sounding like you're from Yorkshire.

Every call from a customer apart from one has been quite miserable and snotty. I've given up asking "Good christmas and new year?" because it's either a halfhearted "yeah" or "hmpph I guess" and not a single "yes, and yours?" or anything. Even the snow has failed to cheer people up.
