I did get a few cards, and much less than £50. I used to put my heart and soul in to that company, but fortunately, in the later years I just gave up working my heart out for them - in fact I had a right doss at their expense, if truth be known. I worked for a largish company (@ 1300 employees) and if your face didn't fit then you were going nowhere. I already knew this, but in the early days had pride that I was doing a great job. I must have saved that company a seven figure sum over the years (they were being ripped off in certain areas, and I put a stop to it). In the end I orchestrated my own redundancy. Something which I have absolutely no regrets about doing. Life's too short, and the old work place will still roll on without me. As the saying goes ' there's plenty of men and women in the graveyard, who thought they were indispensable. Good luck for the future crazyfool1.

Enjoy the camping Ah, useless twats abound! I didn't mean my message to read negatively - hope you don't take it that way. ? Camping will be fun, but not as much fun as in a Glastonbury field!

I worked hard till the end apart from my last day and they seemed to appreciate that at the time .. now they will enjoy a new person who might last 6 months and will do a quarter of what `I did ... thanks for your words always interested in your posts 28 minutes ago, semmtexx said: Ah, useless twats abound!

fatyeti24 Posted June 22, 2018 Author Report Share Posted June 22, 2018 good luck, crazyfool, and anybody else who may need some. this morning i was out in the back garden at about 7.30am with the dogs. lovely morning, but there was a strange smell in the air. our next door neighbours are building a new home in their back garden, and the builders have a portaloo on site. this morning i caught the local poo train guy emptying the thing, hence the unusual smell. i only mention this as it seemed apt, as this weekend of they year is the only time i smell that smell, and often at a similar hour.

carlosj Posted June 24, 2018 Report Share Posted June 24, 2018 Evening all, been in the van, drinking out of plastic glasses (is there a better noun for a plastic glass?), flag pole up, flags out, and now back home. @dizzymoo, if I get organised, yes, good to meet at Blue Dot. I've never been before and it's the first festival me and MrsCJ have been to together. @crazyfool1, good to hear you're making a go of it elsewhere. I left my last job when I knew the new boss wouldn't let me progress after a reorganisation, and yes, no one is indispensible, so we have 1 life to live. Mine is involving my family, alcohol, travel and as much immature new stuff as my wife will let me get away with. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The whole weekend was sat at mid-20s. Even a certain amount of cloud cover. I know you guys had a few sun-related issues last year, but come on. This would have been an absolute belter.

Quark Posted June 25, 2018 Report Share Posted June 25, 2018 In Yeti's defence HMV was absolutely suffering with the sun last year. Wednesday was brutal, but I seem to recall it calming down after that? But I don't think any of the temps I saw from the last week hit those 30 degree peaks of last year's Wednesday afternoon. I ended up putting my tent up in just my pants as wearing anything else while working under that outer sheet had left me sweating like an absolute bastard.

With that image in mind, I see the error in my previous assertion. I can only seek forgiveness. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
