I prefer doing 12 hour shifts, usually only do 2 days on and then get 2 days off so suits me OK for now.

:reaper:
thats part of it i think plus all the hassle i had yesterday afternoon when my bank failed to tell me they had put a stop on my card when i tried to buy a watch from the states on Sunday. Then let me try to go shopping and find out from the cashier that my card wouldn't work - so they got the brunt end of my temper and i think its still lingering even tho they sorted it out

never mind i shall just keep my head down and do some work ;)

afternoon back home now been on switchboard this morning which was a change - no busier but a change :D

[Quedos]

bored rigid and fed up listening to some poor hard done by soul who lost £35 in this months wage. and how its so hard and there are losing so much money. I really have to bite my tongue and tell her she ****ing lucky try losing £658 of your pay with more to come next time

[andrewsmith]

ouuuuuuuuuch!!!!
is that your pay cut each month?

[Quedos]

that was for the last one which was two weeks protected 2 week non. I'm dropping £8623 off my salary. She is sitting whinging about how hard it is after all she's saving for a wedding and £35 makes it all a little harder. Me I'm worrying about how to buy food - I can pay the bills and get myself to work but that is it .Food is now a luxury. I'm raiding my dad's cupboard while he's away

[andrewsmith]

how is that justified. I'm guessing that is around a 25% pay cut

[Quedos]

That my dear boy is Single Status. This is the public sector cuts that people don't see or hear about. The poor souls that ain't frontline service but still manage to help get their local council recognised in Scottish Governement for innovative safety campaigns and spear heading national campaigns and bringin funding etc etc. Bitter just a wee bit!
It works out to be approx 33%
They decided that I was being overpaid for the work that I was doing - three years ago with a promise that they would help train - which never appeared either. Finding jobs is damn hard at the mo so I have to be thankful but I can sustain it for too long

[Tara]

that is **** Abby *hugs* i shall have to start sending you food parcels up Krispy Kremes do you?

In fairness though Q, it's not like us at the frontline aren't getting shafted either.

[andrewsmith]

that is seriously s***

Definitely put me off working for local goverment completely. Curse of my job I'd be 'back of house' so to speak within the councils making sure everything worked or modernised

Nic everyone is being shafted this time round. HMRC have now got me dad on a odd tax code which will no doubt empty is wallet for 12 months

[Quedos]

In fairness though Q, it's not like us at the frontline aren't getting shafted either.

I meant frontline in the council as opposed to other services. (though some are getting shafted but most have seen increase in wages but T&C's are hammered) Funnily enough HR is the only department that has increased its numbers and they led the whole restructuring process - Hmmm
I'm not being down on the cops work closely with our local guys- i think reducing the operational is beyond a joke.
as well as all the other measure such as retirement ages etc.
I wouldn't want to do your job I'll admit.

T - krsipy kreme would be nice Maple and cinnamon and apple please(got to get my fruit in) - though I maybe asking a favour soon. L

And god help us if we become one force.....

[Quedos]

My thoughts exactly - funding to main areas only!!

[Milky Bar Kid]

Meh. It sucks. It all sucks. And don't get me started on fuel prices!

[DarrenSV650S]

I haven't been the same since my teenage lobotomy. Full on, I moved to Hong Kong, with Bruce Lee's brother and Johnny Wong. I think it's strange he's friends with Fu Manchu and he thinks he knows you. Last night Jackie Chan came around. I played pool with him and we hung out.

[andrewsmith]
