I'm back at work and bored after 4 days off, but I am still not recovered from the last set of night shifts that I worked, I must have slept for 12 hours of each of my days off, which is not good. I have had a cough for about 3 weeks now, gradually getting worse. I thought that on my first day off it was getting better, but it hasn't improved since then and it is really getting on my nerves and I think I have sprained my lower abs from all the coughing. Coming back to a dusty building site doesn't help I guess.
Sunday, while I was at home feeling really sorry for myself, I went from my room to the kitchen as just before I left my room I thought, "Shall I take my phone? No. There's no point, no one is going to phone me!"
While I was in the kitchen though, guess what happened? Yep. I just about managed to get back to the phone before it went to voicemail. Tim wanted to know if I wanted to go for a drink with him that afternoon. I would have loved to go, but I was (and still am skint) and the cough was really getting on my nerves and I would have been too embarrassed to cope with it in a bar. So I declined, despite Tim offering to buy me a couple of drinks.
I was incredibly jealous when he explained that he would be away in Gran Canaria for a week, while he is on a month off of work. I would so like to be able to afford to voluntarily take a month off unpaid AND go on holiday at the same time. I really hope that he has a good time, though I have no doubts that he will.
I am now counting down the hours until Friday (payday) and just hope that my wages are correct this time. I have just enough loose change to keep me fed until then (though I wish whoever it was in the flat who keeps finishing my teabags would replace them just once, as I miss my cuppa!).
If my wages are wrong yet again, which sceptically I am expecting them to be, I will keep to my word and stay away from work until any missing money is cleared in my account as I am sick of all the stress and hassle my employers have put me under through the last 3 months (and more). And, yes, I am STILL waiting for a replacement jacket for the one I reported as damaged back in the middle of January. I swear that OCS must be having financial troubles. It would not surprise me (or disappoint me) if they went bust soon. In fact I would cheer! Good riddance.
The good news is that I have applied for another job today, so that makes three in total that I am waiting to hear back from. But I am still open to offers.
