S'okay now. I founded it. I must have clicked on the down arrow at the top of the page. Trying all the options, I could see what I had done wrong. :blush:
They don't make things easy do they ?
 
I'm feeling a lot better today so far . I took things a bit easy yesterday . Had a banana and later on for tea I discovered a new game, spot the chicken ?
I thought I would have some tinned chicken in white sauce on toast . It was a bit like Geocaching except that you do not have any clues to find the chicken, the sauce was a bit similar in that it was extremely runny , a bit like water , which went well with toast . :wacko:

[QUOTE 5281802, member: 21629"]Long story ...

First of all my shift has been changed and nobody bothered to tell me this. From usual 3pm - midnight to 6am - 3pm. So woke up today at 8.30am just to find angry message from agency "why you're not at work?" Basically this happened due to zero communication between shift managers at work.

Came late to work just to be told that I'll work in the department I've never been working before, no training has been given to work there and I've got no clue what to do.

I also need to work with Mick The D1ck and he's absolute d1ck - an old man who's got problems with his brain and first signs of dementia. He complains about everyone and everything, he thinks (and behaves) he's the boss and he's very nasty person. He must be reincarnation of my grandfather. :angry: I've been working for that company for 2 weeks and I already would be able to write a book "How to be a d1ck".

Spoke to the manager saying that I'm not going to work with that idiot Mick and basically I'm in mood to go home right now because there are plenty of jobs everywhere. "Please calm down, it's just a job, calm down" blah blah blah.

Ok, 15 minutes later steam started to fade away and I went to see what I need to do.

I then found out that 2 electric FLTs which can be used within that department are broken. One has been broken for at least 6 months (faulty brake), another - for a few weeks. Nobody cared to contact supplier for repair. Other FLTs can't be used because they're too large for tight spaces among the rackings.

So I stated that I will not be using dangerous FLTs.

Took the last spare FLT and it's battery is 50% charged only.

So mainly bimbled here and there from 10am to 3.30pm until FLT's battery went to 0% and went home then.

My experience says that agency will replace me immediatelly to a worker who's happy to use dangerous FLTs and who speaks rubbish English and can't understand what Mick The D1ck says.[/QUOTE]

Sounds like the company has a death wish. I doubt the owners look beyond the bottom line.

Wow!

Talent abounds on CC!

I got rather dreadfully drunk with her some years ago. A lovely lady with a wicked sense of humour...
She seemed very ‘everyday’.

Cake or ice cream? The choice is endless ...
MrsPete noticed a leaky washing capsule thingy in the box.
She emptied them all out, rinsed and dried the box, then proceeded to rinse the remaining capsules to remove the stickiness.

Me ‘Is that a good idea, rinsing them in water?’
MrsPete ‘Why?’
Me ‘They dissolve in water....’

Apparently, we now have none left :laugh:
