So, work being work, I visited a company (one of many recently) experiencing tough times. It’s my job to get them to use our security guards, make sure they are happy and from their point of view, provide a better service and value for money than what they are getting/paying for at the moment.

When Saturday comes

It’s been a busy weekend, having spent it with our lad. It dawned on me recently that I’ll be spending about 26 weekends this year at home and I don’t really give a shit, I can save money (or rather not spend it, there is a difference), catch up on Match of the Day and [...]

Aisle be damned

The snow has fucked everything up by the looks of it and it looks like I’m in for a few more days of walking to work on icy pathways like C3PO. My Mandarin lesson at the college has cancelled, and I’m glad truth be told.

That’s about it for the blog today. I [...]

Power to the People

Strikes are on the menu for the energy workers then – I guess on the face of it I’m happy: happy because the industrial action looks to be spreading, other stations are striking in solidarity and let’s face it the sentiment is there – Whichever way up you look at the issues and the [...]
