Just had the week from hell. Work has been so bad I'm seriously looking at handing in my notice as soon as I can find something else.
To top it off, bought a new van, loaded it up with things to drop off and then to get to work, went out next morning and wouldn't start. Luckily just the (expensive) battery but really screwed up plans and getting to work. Created loads of stress and I hopped onto the DRZ to get to work to minimise my lateness.



Later in the day a gang of kids stole the DRZ right outside the shop in front of me. I chased them down the road and got it back. There's loads more to the story including... the Police took over an hour to attend and then making us keep one of the kids in the shop for two hours and also keep a dropped moped in the shop until it was collected an hour after closing.
They eventually gave the kid a lift home as he's too young to do anything with and they were ultimately f£$^£$ng useless and were so ****ed off with me to have been called out. They also had to ignore another bike theft they had radioed through that was happening up the road as they had no resources. Apparently it was three of the kids who took my bike getting another.


The Police know who they all are and can do nothing. Deliveroo riders have a network set up to notify each other of the whereabouts of the gangs as they have to avoid taking jobs near where they are as they target them doing their deliveries. A deliveroo rider witnessed me chasing them to get my DRZ back and showed me photos of the gangs surrounding shops locally to intimdate them and the Deliveroo whatsapp messages from the night before with maps of where to avoid etc. Ridiculous. We're now also apparently a target for revenge at the shop while we work as they have a history of returning and smashing place up. The Police's anwser when asked how we can stop that? "Ring 999". And supposedly wait over an hour for them to attend again!!


Then finally got the van running with new battery and went to do the drop off of parts in Bristol that was meant to happen three days ago and had a double flash leaving Bristol through a huge junction of lights. I'm fairly sure I was on amber when I went through and would have stopped for that too but I had an idiot tailgating me that I lost sight of so assumed he was right up behind me hidden in the blindspot. Also driving a new to me van I didn't want to slam the brakes on as they actually work on this van, unlike my old one. So now likely looking at £100 fine and 3 points.. having to notify insurance companies etc.


Also put a deposit down on a bike last week to replace 2 that I've had to sell. Money has been screwed and trying to pay off debts. I've checked what would happen to insurance quotes I had if I do get points and most quotes won't now insure me and the others are all sky high, So I might have to just not have the bike I've reserved and lose my deposit money too.


All this revolves around needing to do work that is becoming a complete p155 take too. I'm exhausted from work, have no life in between or time to recover, money is all going south and debts are building and I'm totally fed up.


I feel sick with tiredness and have one day to recover before I'm back to it.



How's that for a Sunday morning rant.
