Sorry I've not posted since the Bolton game. Truth is, it's been a bad couple of weeks at Chez Warky.
This won't be a full report by the way, in case you're wondering. I'll save it for Sunday after we've probably drawn 0-0 with MK Dons. We can sign another 'back-up' 36 year old defender but not a striker? Just offer Exeter what they want for Nombe, or get Hardie from Plymouth. They'd score a few.
Other than that, and the welcome win against FGR, it's been unrelenting gloom. First up, Paula is being made redundant. Her store is being taken over by a graduate manager on a fast-track scheme from London. He currently deputises for the manager at Stoke Newington branch or something. Anyway, whatever. He takes over in January. She has been offered Assistant Manager roles at two laughably distant stores, one in Canterbury, the other in Horsham. For less money than she's earning now and without any relocation expenses. So she said no. And that has sealed her fate. She could go back to being a supervisor in her current store, but that is such a retrograde step that she's already said no. She was on a temporary promotion in her current job, but was told by her manager that this would be made permanent after six months. Well, it hasn't. Said manager has since left for pastures new. Ho hum.
So we're applying for jobs for her. I say 'we'. I have signed her up on Indeed and helped her update her CV. Trouble is, most of the retail management jobs are being offered as temporary vacancies as retail is undergoing a huge seismic shift in recruitment. So there are no long-term contracts on offer. So we keep having the same old conversations that just go round and round in pointless circulation and usually go "Well, what else would you like to do?" "Retail Management". "OK but there's no vacancies for that for anything other than stop-gap appointments and you'll apply, get it and then be back to square one in three months". "Oh". Rinse and Repeat.
The other bummer is that we've cancelled San Francisco. The holiday of a lifetime has gone, and with it our deposit, not that I'm too bothered with that. We won't be wearing flowers in our hair, or watching the sunday sun shine down on San Francisco Bay, because Paula's car went for an MOT and it was VERY BAD NEWS INDEED and so all our Tel-bets holiday money has now been spent buying her a new one. It was a wrench.
So, in an era of constant warnings about recession, belt-tightening and all the other sh*te the Tories have lumped onto us as a penalty for the Coronavirus money they lavished, we're in a bit of a sticky spot. Not too bad. We don't have a mortgage to contend with (paid it) and I'm still working. But as a kick in the old proverbials, it could have been better timed. Still, others are less fortunate. as we keep reminding ourselves between sh*t-eating grins and arguments over her CV.
And the crowning glory, and I whisper this quietly in case she hears/sees/is pisskick or whatever, is that she's three days late this month. She had the good grace to look a bit concerned when she told me this evening. So.....might just be delayed or whatever, mightn't it? Mightn't it? Surely it doesn't always mean....???
See you Sunday. If nothing else biblical goes tits up anyway. |  |

Ffs Warky sorry to read all this. Furthermore as I have just read it in the covid isolation room, Miss Slave shall remain in the dark til morning. And I could have pointed you in the direction of a Vauxhall Astra with a years mot for £750 and the holiday would still be on.
Chances are that the other thing is stress!! |  |

Now about to send Miss Slave the report through the ether. Having just shouted her across the landing she informs me that the car is a 1.2 litre Corsa. | |

Well then Warky to continue the psychic theme. Miss Slave has consulted her oracle and you have drawn the 'Breaking Free' card which appears to speak to your fear of fatherhood and perceived restrictions!! You have to break free of this line of thought Warkers, freedom is a state of mind....you must be "...responsible, while simultaneously feeling as free as the birds, angels and fairies."
Your affirmation on your morning rambles is...
"I am free, I am powerful.
I now allow myself to enjoy this freedom and power."
That will be £50 please. | |
