Ive missed a couple of days because Ive been working. Twelve and a half hour shifts arent ideal but they pay the bills. It really bugs me how they put prices up and then announce huge profits. I dont know how the elderly manage if they only have their state pension. I seriously thought about retiring on Monday. Some of the people I work with are not very nice. They are bullies and lazy and the managers let them get away with it. Its freezing up here in the North and I just long for spring and the summer. Wouldnt it be lovely if we could hibernate and come out in the spring. Im having a right moan arent I. On the hand I have a party to go to at the weekend. Im really looking forward to that. Seeing old friends and having fun. I was supposed to be at work 7.30am on Sat but have managed to take time off till lunch time.
