SHOCKING NEWS QUICK TO THE INTERWEBZ

[Justsomebloke]

Blimey You shock me with your comments & they are Much appreciated

Went to bed around 3am last night & woke at mid day I feel like I am still asleep really, Kind of all Zombie like, When I came down Frank just looked at me as if to say Where the **** do you thik you've been then +
I'm just having a cuppa then I am off for a dog walk to wake me up & Thank him for leaving me be.

I got sent a Transfer cable off Kreeee yesterday & swapped my 20 for my new 60 so I have to go down post office to post it back to him. I also got my Router off Nutcase & set that up last night as well. Works perfectly & now I have my own little Network set up for my systems & my 360 & I'm even renting a little Band width to a mate over the road
Big Thanks to Nutcase as that will save me a tenner a month & the lad over the road can use his PS3 online whenever I am at work or my drive is empty.
Nice to be able to play with some new toys after a weeks work, like a kind of reward

Anyway that's me, Off to walk me dog & Thanks Muchly for all the support

Just got through my 2nd night of my 3rd week.
Was a pretty mellow night, I got kidnapped by the other team again so spent a good couple of hours away from Nasty woman, Once that was done we had to much work to be bothered by owt else & then I got kidnapped by the other manager this time & helped her for my last hour or so, Time flew & I feel like I did a Really good nights work
They have moved on my breaks & have actually approached me to discuss when I want them & when is a good time for All, I can't ask no more than that & do feel I was listened to.
I s'pose this is all part of my big learning curve & getting on with all these new people is going to take some time. I don't sp'ose you lot realise what it's like for me & I don't want to whinge on so I will try to explain.
The whole of my life has been spent doing what I want to do when I want to do it, On top of this I have been lucky enough to choose my own company, I am thinking that I have been Spoilt & need to grow up
Majorly embarrasing for me at this ripe old age but **** it I have always admitted when I am wrong & have always taken whatever crap or punishment I am due.
I am surpirsed one of you didn't point out that I broke one of the three rules I made for myself, Namely keeping my Big gob shut, All I can say is that my attitude at work is one I am Proud of & I have never been so Humble before.
I am Trying my best & that is all I can say

One thing though, I really do appreciate the support as this is not ***** easy

Thanks All

And that is the most important point of all. Any decent employer should respect that, and it sounds like they do. I can't imagine being in your situation given the working life I've had, but you have my respect for sticking at it and doing your best not to let situations and awkward individuals get to you.

I can report a good nights work was done & I felt pretty damn good right up till the last half hour as well.
My Manager did pull me though about me seeing the Personnel manager & tbqfh he wasn't very happy. Not pissed at all but I made a Mistake there & he told me so, I should have waited till the next night & spoken to Him & then if I wasn't happy gone on to Personnel, As he explained I completely understand & have made him look bad to the day staff, Basically me going to Personnel makes it look like He the Night Manager can't do his job.
He was Uber cool & professional though which gets my Respect, I don't think I have had such a Mature Adult conversation with anybody like that before
Well not without Stomping on there head a bit first anyways
Anyway,
So we had this Chat for around 20 minutes & he told me the Procedure for future problems & I re assured him that rather than going to tittle tattle I had asked another lady on the floor who to speak to as I wasn't happy & she had said Sheila, Sheila the Personnel manager served us our Xmas dinner so I honestly thought she was a friendly known person to discuss my probs with rather than trying to kick up a stink for anybody in particular.
Turns out My complaints were justified apparently & as soon as I got there I got some Training My complaint was that there really is no point in coming up to me complaining about anything at end of shift when I haven't been trained on how to do whatever it is properly, No good just getting us to do things & then moaning at the end it isn't done right.
Secondly everybody spoke to me as they should, Even Nasty woman was quite civil the Whole night & I was Happy to work shoulder to shoulder with her on Numerous occasions last night
My breaks are sorted & flexibility is not a problem.
I think I made a Mistake not going through him but he wasn't there & I did ask a nice lady who to see rather than just go off to cause trouble.
What's done is done though & I did say that I was quite happy with how things had been dealt with & wasn't stewing about owt & had just left it to take its course.
He seemed cool though & re assured me that things have been dealt with people have been spoken to & things will get better. I told him that I had felt much better that shift & had noticed the difference & appreciated it

Good night last night & I can Honestly say It is getting easier
Come 5am'ish I dip a bit but it passes after 15 mins or so & I am sound to the end, even walking Frank when I get in is not a problem where as the first 2 weeks my feet & legs ached like **** whilst out on a walk.
My manager & team leader panicked the Whole night as usual but we had the nights work done by 5.45am & spent till 8am just facing off & messing, I dipped off & helped out some other Dude on the Meat, He had just started & come in to some Massive 6ft high Meat trays so I got stuck in with him & we sorted it in 30 minutes rather than it be a Ball ache for him & taking 2 hours.
Come 7.45am I was told to go & hide in the canteen & Thanks & all that Job done
Just tonight now & I finish at 7am an hour early so it will feel a sweet shift, Also I can't see there being much to do in the way of filling so I reckon we'll spend all night sorting reduced out & rotating.
Definately getting Easier though, Lots easier
