Today has been crap. Being a weekend the air conditioning is turned off and it's been another lovely day outside, so it has been horrendous inside. On top of this the building manager was in, with a crew, working on the fire alarm systems. He started this just as I was beginning my first break and wanted to "borrow" one of the guards, so I had to forgo my break. The first round of testing went on for over an hour and a half, by which time it was way into when the guys lunch breaks were meant to begin. I got one of the guys to have 40 minutes (instead of the hour he was due) and the second just began his break when he was called to help with the second round of testing. When I queried if he was really needed as he was on his break I was told "that's why you get paid for your breaks!" Arsehole!
This time testing went on for 2 hours making lunches over 3 hours late. I made sure my guys had their full quota (and ate my lunch in the control room!). I eventually got a proper break at 17:00. 10 hours into my shift! I was dying to go to the loo! I cannot wait to get home now, have a shower and just relax. I am also much less inclined to give up my free time on Tuesday for this bloody TUPE meeting now as well!
Have I told you lately how much I hate working here? Well if I haven't it is because there hasn't been a word invented to describe how much I hate it!!! Well, not one that can be used in polite conversation anyway!
