Today I got my mum to ring in sick for me, what a chicken I am! Let me explain tho, I have been doing maternity cover for a company here in Aberdeen and for the most of it, it has been great. However, a girl at my work has been making my life hell for the last 2 months and after what Ive been through, its the last thing I needed. Her previous victim had left the company so she turned on me. I decided to find another permanent job and was lucky enough to be offered the first one I went for (yay me!) so handed in my notice. This week its been hell, the bully has been constantly picking at everything I do, you may well ask why I havent broached this with my boss? Well I haved and it proved fruitless as they are best friends, extremely unprofessional boss tho. Anyhoo, I digress, yesterday I decided to call in sick as I couldnt face another day being miserable, my job is jam-packed, hectic and complicated, not that they realise it, so was worried as theyoften say no one else in the company can do it. I figured I would come back today but I lay awake til 4.30 this morning anxious as hell and I decided to ask Mum if she would call and say she had come to look after me as I had a horrendous bug and was too ill to look after the kids. My boss was ok with her but said that I was leaving her in the lurch. Fair enough I was, anyway, she called me 20 mins later and said that they will pay me to the end of the week as planned and they would send someone round with my stuff so am free til I start my new job Monday. She was well shirty with me tho. I know I lied but what gets my goat is the way she is with me. I mean at the height of me leaving my now ex husband, I desperately needed time off work and the doc said he would sign me off for a couple of weeks but I said no as I knew how much I was needed at work, no-one knows how to do some of my work and couldnt be trained up in a day. So I went to work mid breakdown. My boss said to me the other week that I had made a few mistakes and if it was affecting me so badly maybe I should have taken time off?!! Mistakes as in typos!! She complained when I took a day off after moving into the refuge!!
Bollocks and buggeration, glad I got that off my chest, sorry you had to see it!!

The title of my thread you ask, where is the relevence? We are looking after a friends dog for 2 days and we took him for a walk past the butchers and got him a big marrow bone. Oh my lord, you have never seen a happier dog, he cant stop wagging his tail while chewing on the bone, he keeps on carrying it round proudly to show us!! Bless!!

Have had 1 shake today, 3 more to go, love leaving them in the blender for ages as they go all thick!!
