Craziness


I'm so pleased this week is now behind me!

Dramas, stress, abusive phone calls (not directed at me!) and total chaos.

To cut a long boring story short - the transfer of my new people has not gone smoothly, leaving them without this weeks order - to be re-ordered, and delivered HERE to ME the week after next - along with their usual order. So I'll have several thousand dollars worth of stock to pack - the day before I am hosting a farewell Christmas in July lunch for AW - HERE.

We had some unhappy people.
One of them their current manager CB.
I just happened to be on the phone with her when the Almighty rang her on her mobile - CB abused the hell out of her - it was hilarious!!! I heard the whole thing!!
At one point the Almightly tried to blame ME (of course) - CB soon put her straight on THAT little detail.
She spoke to her exactly how I want to speak to her sometimes - and how I feel on the inside but exercise extreme control not to.
CB then went on to ring and abuse the Big Big Boss in Sydney - and pointed out a few of the 'things' that have happened here under the Almighty's reign of terror - ha ha ha!!!

So basically I'm mentally exhausted.
But they all now how their new i.d. numbers with me,
their orders are in....and all will be fine.....just got to get through the next two weeks....

My poor car went for a service - I am ashamed to say it's the first one it's had in three years - no money, no opportunity with Big A on day shift and living out here.
I received my reward for this - a $650 bill....
All necessary.
Not all fixed though, the brakes need 'doing' within the next few weeks.....
Our mechanic is awesome and a very honest man.
He thought best to stop there as he realised the bill was adding up and up.
*sigh*

Small Man is going in leaps and bounds Distance Ed wise.
He has completed his first few lessons, it amazing! A virtual classroom - who knew!
He has also done around 8 assignments his first two: A & B+ - second two B+ & A scores - these were maths, english lit. health and wellbeing.
He is working his way through his IT assignments which he is finding very easy, he completed three or four of these today in under 20 mins.

He seems a bit happier in himself, health wise no change. He gave me a fright tonight - he was playing with George - he bent down to put George on the floor - when he came back up he suddenly grabbed his head and was obviously in pain - he wouldn't speak for ages - said his head felt 'funny'. He went to bed and slept for a few hours after that. I hate it when things like that happen.

Trying to prepare for next week - mentally at least.
Did the 'inventory' of clothing for Small Man - who is a big little man, and tall and difficult to buy clothes for - trousers are the biggest issue - and tops are usually too short.....may need to have a look in Melbourne I think...

Best go and get another milo into me before I drop like a tonn of bricks....

Night All,

Well, Glad that CB gave the almighty what for AND let the Big Boss in sydney know just what's been going on. What WOULD they do without you?

Hey Lou - I know! It seems justice does have a way of coming around! She's been awfully quiet since...she would be afraid of what else CB could tell the Big Bosses....if they start looking into her 'business' expense claims for example...

Hi Warriorwoman - it's madness - but I think I have it sorted - once again it all gets thrown in my lap for fixing....be glad when we get our new state manager.....

Small Man tells me 'everyone' has seen that cat picture....I know I'm SO yesterday - tsk - what was I thinking - ha ha! I hadn't seen that particular one before - but I liked it too!

Hope the milo kicked in and gave you the energy you needed!
That sounds like an exhausting week but at least some truths were told about Almighty *big grins*.
If you've got time, check out the Dandenong Market for clothes for Small Man while you're in Melbourne, it's within walking distance of Dandenong train station and has heaps to choose from. Glad to hear he's enjoying Dist.Ed. We'll be looking at that for Feral Beast in a year!

Hi Jayne,

the Milo (my staple diet) was great!

Thanks for the tip on the clothes,we'll have time Tuesday afternoon and Friday morning at this stage - it's all seeming hectic - friends all wanting to catch up with us while we are there. Small Man may or may not be up to all the catching up with friends stuff - I hope we can keep everyone happy in that regard. Thank whoever that my MIL will be away - YAHOOO! No-one to put the pressure on!!

If you are considering distance ed - look into the distance ed allowance. I checked into it yesterday and got a HUGE shock at the amount (I thought oh yeah a hundred smackers or something....boy was I wrong). You can find it at centrelinks website under assistance for isolated children...

Yes, the Almighty made need to go and see the Pope a few times while he's here to get all of her sins sorted - haw haw!

Yay on the Dist. Ed for Small Man.

bit of a worry about his 'turn' Hope they don't happen too often.

The cat is always good for a laugh.

Myst_72 said...

Thank you Widdle Shamrock.
The distance ed is working out really well - yay! Perhaps if it had been offered to us earlier......not going there tonight!

He hasn't had a turn like that in a while that I've seen anyway - I'll mention it to the specialists next week, just in case.

Do you use CommentLuv to pull the last posts of the blogs in your sidebar? Most interesting feature I've seen displayed on blogger.
