That Wall Looks Mighty Tempting, Oops, Promotions? & The Big Question

First things first. Doesn't this guy just rock?? I even have it on male authority he's good looking. And yes the males in question are perfectly straight. I'm liking this new breed of guy that aren't afraid to admit another guy is handsome. Girls do it all the time with fellow females.

I felt like banging my head off a brick wall in an effort to numb the pain today because I've been hard at work correcting all the mistakes my protege made on this Inland Rev claim. All this work for a few measly hundred quid.

Luckily I didn't because two lots of hell broke out after lunch. Two buses had to be pulled off the road. The first one was R's who's exhaust fell off. This wasn't that a big a deal to be honest because its an old 10 seater anyway & he can swap it with one of the newer ones. However, our new volunteer AC topped every breakdown we have had in our entire history. The back door of his large 16 seater fell off & was lying in the road. I don't know if everyone is familiar with the type of buses we have but this particular one is an Iveco converted from its original van like state. In other words, they are quite large.

How this door fell off is a mystery. The only saving grace is that it was empty at the time. It hasn't been made clear whether AC was moving or stationery at the time of incident and the driver is behaving rather sheepishly. Anyway the bus was taken to the garage & JK hopes it will be fixed before J & E are back so he won't have to tell them about it. They get back tomorrow.

He's dreaming. Anyway I pointed out that he'd have to tell them about it regardless because we'd be getting an invoice through from the garage for the repair work. Idiot. I might cover up a lot of things & turn a blind eye to a lot of things but even I can't ignore or cover up this one.

I considered a change of job, working for a charity I support doing exactly the same as I do now, for more money but less hours. However it got pointed put to me by the guys that with us getting a new Office Manager & J declaring she'd leave if she didn't get the job & we ever got an outside Manager in, there just might be a Finance Manager position to fill. Logically you'd think as Finance Officer I'd be considered for promotion... but logic in this place doesn't exist. Besides if I left I'd miss my work mates. God love 'em & that's the first time in all my working life I've been able to say that.

Finally: - The BIG question. Has MR been evicted or not? He wouldn't tell us anything except after I'd cornered him in the corridor when he came out his office he said "you won't see me after today". Then he strode off because he was going home. There hasn't been any "moving out" like activity so the guys think he may just be going on vacation. But they don't understand. MR always tells us where he's going if he's off on his hols. Beside he could have moved his stuff out before we open up in the mornings or after we've gone at night. I tried to call the site manager but he'd already gone home for the day. Fingers crossed tomorrow will shed more light on the mystery.

Ciao for now
