the eldest lad was making demands piting for safety equipment while cutting piting my toe nails piting, he went and got my motorbike helmet and gloves.

the world has gone elf n safety nuts, demands for chain guards on recumbents! some twit will start bashing on that cyclist should be made to wearing helmets next:huh: of course, if cars had to go the same speed as bikes, like they do in India, because of the congestion.
as you are riding a long if a car gets to close you lean on it or like my friend did, lean in to the car and turn the steering wheel a bit and get a laugh and a happy wave from the driver, how let got of the wheel so my friend could steer for him:rofl:

first day in the office with my new wheelchair, my new one :biggrin: it is very comfy but i only use it for getting about the place i sit in a office chair.
now i am mobile i have been going for holidays, today i went down to the loading bay to look at the building operative and support technicians office, they have the cctv n stuff in there, they are the keepers of the bog roll and are to most people in the building invisible, i always give them a cheery wave when they come on the floor to do stuff.
then later i went on holiday to the floor below mine where the connect call centre is, they pass jobs to me for the dog wardens ect, so have spoken to most of them but they have always been in a business park some where.:welcome: telephonic mangler's.

i cant go on holiday tomorrow as i will be doing things to exel then going for a day trip to my old depot to find out what wacky things they are going to do with us, the management, is new and improved one.

but i am planing a holiday on the far reaches of my floor where the? er? well i think they? well they all seem quiet nice when they are sat at there desks and i wave across to them on the next wing. i will find out what they do that will be exciting.

today i had to scan a old memo in, print it, get it a-noted by one of the legal bods re scan it send it to my self so there is a electronic ordit trail then shed the hard copy i had and print a new one, so it had today's date and time stamp.:headshake: the modern paperless office is so cutting edge and i feel privileged to be part of it.



the memo was to the effect that the locker policy for some operatives has been brought in to line with a different depot, that i have never been to and for a job i no-longer do. :crazy: but i learnt all about the new printer/scanner, shredder and got out and about a bit on three different floors. it was like one of my holidays but not, so i will call it a business trip.

What a busy day you've had. All I've done is play on my computer, go out for a pub lunch, play with my Grandson, play on my computer and drink some beer.

It's a hard life as a retired person!

Tomorrow I'm waiting in for a ton of coal to be delivered, playing on my computer, going for a trike ride and going to play with toy soldiers recreate an historical encounter between Ancient Egyptians and Nasty Hittites in a table top environment.

Busy, busy, busy!

I can remember when I first started work, there were things called rubber stamps and filing cabinets. Some one would stamp the Official Stamping Stamp on the Official document, and then sign it and date it. Then it would be filed or, and you probably will not believe this, they would put it in a henvelope and stamp it again. The Post Office would stamp that as well.

done away with for elf n safety, repetitive stress gingery, or because people were having fun :thumbsup:


i had another maiden ride tonight:biggrin: no abuse or pushy drivers and the temperature was nice as well.
i applied for my usual post as a presiding officer in the up coming sillyness, when we decide how is going to fiddle the public purse and line there pockets represent us. it is a bit of a day out for me and you get to meet a lot of people and it brings out the nutters who are always fun to chat with but they turned:cry: me down :cry:....it is .....:cry:because of snoooorrrrrrrthththththk hu hu hu my infirmity:cry: that would have paid 1/3 of my new wheel chair:sad: thrown on the scrap heap they wont even let me open the envelopes for the postal votes and i promise not to like all the ones they had already opened like last time , i present a elf n safety problem apparently:headshake: and that is with the corks on my Viking helm antlers*


i went with the 9 point stag antlers as the two bull horns are a bit so last millennium.

as my new work pattern will be Wednesday, Thursday Friday one week then Thursday Friday the next, i am looking forward to some relaxed quiet Fridays.

as i was doing what for me now is a long day 7am to 5:20 pm; the last few hours, i became recumbent in my office chair with both legs in the wheel chair, with a good buzz on with the pills:tired: i had the head set on just hitting the answer key with the end of my crutch when a call came in. :idea: if i had a hammock in-front of my work station i could work full time as long as i got two power naps a day*.

there was a bit of a flap on with some legal stuff and a raid "organised" by some department or other that was going.....er slightly not to plan, sort of....a complete "departmental learning opportunity"** on some place or other, it sort of happend around me a bit and some one kept brining me cups of tea, and saying things like keep it up and i will be back in a bit i have to take this over to legal, find file x y z, can you get hold of Mr x and tell him to "send the XXXXX sheet ASAP with the appendix to XYZ" i think i had a blueberry cup cake about 3ish but i might have been dreaming that.

i defiantly put a appointment in the managers diary for a meeting that will last for two days, reserving three different meeting rooms.
i have the conformation emails :wacko: i will sort it out on Monday.



* the pills make me sleepy about 1ish and again about 4:30.
**when you see that in a memo you know the stuff rely hit the spiny thing.

What you rub and where you rub it is not appropriate for delicate ears. Keep taking the dried frog powders, it'll make you hop.

i did the Sunday morning ride thing today and only had searing pain twice so must be getting better. i will go to the doctors if my leg drops off.

i did some roll down tests with the new wheelchair when i realised it has solid tyres :eek: on the slope in medowhall that i hit 23mph coming down from M&S ready for the hard left* in the new chair i was slowing as i was half way down:ohmy: i now have some two tone wheelchair slicks on order with duel compound i will cut the solids of as soon as the new ones get here.


*if i judge it just right i can emerge from behind one of the big pillars at the side of the steps doing full speed in amongst the herd and scatter them. it is fantastic as any one you hit with a wheel chair apologises and goes all :shy: although as no one looks where they are walking now a days as they are all texting it is 90% who walk in to me usually as i am sat out side the shops liking the window waiting for one of the kids to come out and tell me to stop-it:stop: i like body shop window best, must be the fruit soap.
