shift last night. Nights again tonight. Plenty of us on and the babies were well behaved.
Probably be a whole pack of them ready to go home at the same time.

Sorted....
The Garage I'd got my MOT at couldn't have been nicer when I explained about the MOT cert. They admitted they'd forgotton to give me it. When I dialed the number it looked familiar - the same no. had been trying to contact me but as I didnt frecognise it, I hadn't replied. Well, too many chancers trying to sell me double glazing - I've got it, or a conservatory -in a temement? so I tend to ignore numbers I dont recognise.
Any time I have called back a wrong no. they treated me as I'm the one who made the mistake in the first place.
Onyway - the woman at the PO was also very pleasant (unlike the foosty-faced bint I'd seen on Saturday) all the teller's were busy today, some seemed to be getting grief for mistakes the punters had made so maybe they've got a good excuse to be foosty-faced, BUT I'M LEGAL, thank fuck for that - no more panicing in case the cops do spot checks on the tax discs.
Bonus - 5 QUID less than last year as its not a gas-guzzler, I was expecting the tax to have incresed - Thank you Gordy Broon, Chancellor for the punter!

A wee run in the country......
Its Mother's day here.
6-8 weeks before the rest of the world does it but we do it in March.
The Old Dear (OD) was chuffed with her card, especially as it had not just my name but 3 cats (mine), 1 budgie and 1 dog (hers) on it. She'd got her pressie a couple of weeks ago during the really bad cold-snap we had, and apprecieated it too ( a vintage woollen ski hat circa 1944 from eBay, same style as she'd have worn when she was a wean during WW2).
Me, her and the dug went a wee run, first to Dobbies - thats the Garden Centre chain by the way, not where the House elf lives, the one at Stirling. Loads of beautiful plants, but we did all our spending in the wee deli that they have. The toffee cheesecake is gorgeous, and as for the olives, cheese selection, oaties etc....Fat Bastard Heaven!
Next stop after that was Callendar, park in the Meadows next to the wall so we're literally 10-15 feet from the river Teith with a great view of the ducks, swans. The path we usually take was really muddy but we found the path to Strathayre and had a good walk along that, less muddy as its raised, loads of sticks for the dug to try and carry then a single fish and a fish supper out the Happy Fryer - the OD thinks restaurants are a waste of money - she was quite chuffed not to have to cook and quite enjoyed her wee day out.
In all the times I've been to Callendar, today was the first time I've really noticed the peat-reak.
And it had nothing to do with all the folk in the pubs/bistros etc both staff and clients who were having to step outside to smoke because of the new legislation coming into effect today.
Might start going back to the Bingo again - got fed up having to strip off as soon as I'd got home and shower/wash hair to get rid of the smell of fags!

Buggerty bugger...
Bugger... pressed the wrong bloody button again.
Managed to find the reminder from the DVLA, manages to get into town to thebig PO to pay it with all the relevant documents to hand to find out that the big-name garage who'd done my service and first MOT hadn't given me an MOT certificate, what I thought was the certificate was just an invoice (well, how am I supposed to know what the fucker looks like if I've never seen one before, does it wear a red carnation and have a Daily Record under its arm?) - so the PO wouldnt let me pay my Tax! So I'm still illeagle.
Fucksocks.

Still getting used.....
....to this blogging caper.
Still takes several go's to get to the bit where I can type in my bit.
Still worried about coming over as a pretentious tw@ who cant spell.
Using this as an excuse not to do things like cleaning, shopping - thats the messages, not retail therapy type shopping, sorting out the mail - I really need to find the reminder for my road tax I've misplaced - it was up at the end of February and I really need to pay the bloody thing!
I've a static caravan at Prestwick that really needs to be gutted, the plan is to move down there for the summer and commute so the flat can get done up to sell for something better, out of Glasgow - but due to severe weather, back problems, cant-be-arsedness, still needs gutted - but at least I've got rid of the mice. (3 fucking cats, 2 of whom are brilliant mousers and I still get fucking mice).

No fair......
Damn....pressed the wrong bloody button and published the title by mistake. Keech!
There's a blog I read titled Momentary Lapses of Insanity, by Misty. Very funny. Has caption competitions for some funny/gross pictures, Double-entendre days - in short a perfect blog.
And she has a problem with a failed Court Case , I'm not going into details here 'cos Misty details it better than I can but she LOST her Judgement............to someone who was proven to be a LIAR, where even the Judge says its not fair but STILL decides to go against Justice.
More of the Law's an arse than an ass.
Dosn't seem right that you can lose, even when you are right does it?

A long night...
......another night shift. Fairly quiet. Bit of excitement at @ 3am when someone needed intubated but it all went very smoothly and had the desired effect.
Another bit of excitement at @ 4am when we could see loads of blue flashing lights - ambulance, couple of Fire Engines and several Police cars in the scheme across the road from where we work. Suddenly all the lights went out and we could see the Emergency wagons rolling down the Hill back to their various bases. Guess it was the wee neds having a laugh by calling them out for nothing.
Lets just say the scheme across from us is so notorious, the polis tend to visit in pairs if there is a call-out. Thats one car to attend the call and the second car to watch over the first car so the polis dont come out the close to find their motor on bricks. With the engine missing. And some wee twunt trying to sell them back their own gear.
Hellish driving home. The south side seems to be full of roadworks just now and rush-hour traffic.......bad combination.

A nice night....
A nice night, the babies behaved themselves. If anything we were bored and no-one was off sick for a change. I always feel that boring nights for us are good for the babies. Theres not much noise, no hassles, no swearing, well, not THAT much anyway, the atmosphere is good which seems to give them a better and less incident filled night.
The kind of night shift the bosses hate cos they start to think there are too many of us and they pay us too much any way - in their eyes that is.
Hope it continues, we could do with a quiet spell after the way its been for the last couple of months.
Just realiseed, my tax disc on the car went out of date at the end of February and they didn't even send out a reminder. Hell, it even got serviced, MOT'd and the Garage never even noticed.
Makes you wonderwhat else they actually missed.
Tw@s!!!!

time difference...
just noticed, the time on the blog is reading some ungodly hour. My real time is 2.59 pm cos I'm in Glasgow, Scotland. Dont know why I'm so obsessed with time. Matbe its because I work 12 hour shifts, day and night which dont follow a pattern, being totally at random and half the time I havn't a clue what day it is.
So, Blog says early hours of the morning, clock here says time for afternoon tea and my body clock says Bugger thay, I'm off for a kip before I have to go to work tonight and if I feel rested enough, I might not be such a grumpy sod...................................why change the habits of a lifetime?

Waiting for Armageddon......
Otherwise known as the nightshift.
No doubt someone will have gone off sick, the bosses will have been told but done nothing as per usual.
We'll be running out of the most basic equipement, as per usual and on complaining will be told "It's on order" as if that will make things OK.
There will be more addmissions than usual, especially from the "specialist unit" upstairs - cunts.
At least 50% of those I'll be on with will think their doing a wonderful job - just by turning up, the rest of us will feel we're doing a barely adequate job cos we're also doing what the first lot should be fucking doing.
The breaks will go past very quickly while the time spent working will drag.
I've grown to hate my job but I dont know anything else.
bugger that for a game of soldiers eh?

2nd post
Well, managed to find it again - even if I did have to go round in a circuitous route.
Jeezo, might even begin to think I can do this - then I'll get gallus and fuck it up as per ususal.
Will I spill my innermost secret thoughts? will I be witty, clever, thoughtprovoking,hilariously funny or a total smug cunt?.
More likely to be the latter.
Bye the way, I do tend to use Language, naughty language, sweary words.
I dont find the words themselves offensive, but the intent with which they are used can be.
Had an uncle once who used the term "daft cunt" as a term of endearment, never sounded offensive when he said it.
If naughty words offend you..........................................well piss off, if I knew you in real life I'd be doing my best to annoy you anyway.

Moron's first post.
Never done this before, havn't a clue how its going to look.
Computer retard here, manage to delete things when I'm trying to download - lets face it, bloody computer didnt have sound for over a year because one of the cats sat on the fucking keyboard when I was trying to set the thing up.
Later she jumped down after sitting on the keyboeard and flicked off the PgDn key - never used it yet and probably never will.
Havnt a clue if I'll ever be able to get pictures on it and I cant fucking spell.
No-one will ever read this and if they do they'll be bored out their box's - sorry, I know I'm a boring old fart.
5 will get you 10 Iwont be able to find my own frigging blog again.
