I had a tooth (back top left molar) and was back at work next day (had it out on a Sunday)

Tell I say he's a dirty wussy liar.

The best excuse I ever heard was a manager I had 10 years or so ago. He phoned in sick as he had had a nosebleed the night before.

I should point out I had it out in an Sunday emergency after pain became overwelming and as decay had reached core.

My manger had one out a few weeks later and was in work the next day. And then he suffered 'dry hole' (don't giggle. Don't clot in the tooth hole came off leaving bone exposed, very painful) and was in work apart from the afternoon for a follow up appointment for dry hole.

Your boss is a moron.

Today's an absolute write off. Just want it to be the weekend so I don’t have to feel more guilty about sitting around doing almost strawberry float all.

I'm busy as strawberry float today. Spoke to a colleague about the amount of work he has, and I seem to be way ahead of him. So that's okay, I guess.

Yeah but he is doing it properly and not rushing.

Hey now, I'm skipping loads of vital steps in the name of efficiency.

Had my first performance review today and been told I'm doing well and above average for this stage so at least that's some good news. The only room for improvement i had was rushing too much actually, think I've just been too eager to please and made a couple of stupid minor mistakes in the process.

You are strawberry floated when they see this post.

Hah. Never go on GR on my work laptop, think my post history would be an automatic firing.

One of our new nurses has been with us for a month and called in sick three times. One headache, one cold and a daughter with a rash who needs to see the GP. I don't think she likes it here which is good because she'll be getting bumped pronto at this rate.

Back to work on Monday after a fortnight off for Christmas

My team is full of young, pleasant, enthusiastic people instead of bitter old stubborn twats, my manager is... well I'm still not sure but she at least seems convincingly competent, and I stayed over today not because I needed to but because I was happy to .

Please don't let this end!

A wise man once said that existence is like a dancer forever moving to an eternal song, and for this dancer, as it is for all dancers, balance is the key.

They all think the new guy is a bellend

I'm not entirely sure what that means but I had another great day today, so I'll take it!

This is the fun part about working remotely and your bosses are doing no work or completely strawberry floated everything up. You're left wondering what the strawberry float to do.

I have to do the early shift next week. Nooooo T_T

Early shift ftw, you get to finish early!

Not when your early shift is 12 hours long.

You're preaching to the wrong choir.

My point still stands 0600 - 1800 is better than 0800 - 2000

Saturday overtime. You gotta love it.

Last full week at current place starts tomorrow.
Still no one has started reviewing documentation I've made or done any sit down handover work......

strawberry float em. Not your problem
