It's Cold And I Don't Like It!

Hello there viewers,

Firstly i would like to announce that i have changed my blog over to the new blogger system, i have no idea what the difference is, but i'm sure i will find out soon!

Well, towards the end of last week, i had had about enough of work, not because of the work itself but because of rude and snotty people on the phone!!!

I'm a Secretary of an Architects practice in the centre of town and one of my many duties is to answer the phone, therefore being people's/clients first point of contact. Now i'm nice and pleasant and always try to be helpful but i can't do that when i have stupid people on the phone who just don't listen to what i'm saying! For those of you who work in an office situation, will know that Boss's/Managers etc don't like taking certain types of calls i.e. Sales, marketing/advertising, random people wanting our contact details to send information through etc etc etc.

Now, i know for a fact (as the two partners have told me a dozen times!) that there are no vacancies for any students (as we already have 2 and that's enough!). So on Friday a young, asian gentleman rang enquiring about student vacancies........ and that's where it went wrong

"Good Morning PD Architects"
"Hello my name is Bkhan can i speak to Peter Edmonds please"
"What's the call regarding please?"
"Student vacancies, i have spoke to him before"

*being slightly confused as i had never heard of him i rang Peter and checked and he didn't know who he was either!*

"I'm sorry Mr Edmonds doesn't appear to remember having spoken to you before, what is it exactly your enquiring about"
"I told you Student vacancies" (Getting quite angry with me!)
"I'm very sorry Mr Edmonds has made it clear there are no Studdent vacan...."
"NO, NO, NO, I spoke to MR EDMONDS, i have sent in my CV and everything!" (getting more annoyed and getting angrier!)
"Well, i collect and hand out the post and i haven't seen any CV's arrive" (which is true i do do the post and i hadn't seen any CV's)
"Look Woman, i sent it Recorded Delivery, and everything, so what you gona do about it?" (Raising his voice and really starting to piss me off!!)
"Look i'm very sorry Sir, i haven't received any CV's through the post since we've been back after Christmas break, i'm sure it's got held up within the post and it'll be delivered shortly, when it is delivered i will still make sure Mr Edmonds receives it, but until then, if you did post it through Record Delivery, you can ring Royal Mail and check whether it's been delivered, that's why it's recorded"

With that he said he would find out more from Royal Mail and put down the phone, i mean look mate i'm not fucking Royal Mail am i, so if your post has been lost blame them not me!

Finally Friday was at an end, and i had Rosey & Co coming round to see the flat, i got home got changed and started to tidy up abit so that the place wasn't a pigs stye!! It was my turn to buy the alcohol, so i got my coat on went out to my car and noticed that a young lady was trying to park her Corsa on the pavement. Now where i live, the parking isn't brilliant you can only park on side of the road 'cos if park on both sides noone can get through so this then limits the parking, so the only alternative is to park all four wheels on the pavement, which is what this lady was doing.

Now my car was parked in the road, and i was going to save at least one space for Rosey or Emily, so i knew if i moved my car the Corsa woman would take it, so i went to my car and just made it look like i was getting something out of it, but before long i had a sharp tap on my shoulder i looked up to find the Corsa lady starring into my face

"Are you leaving?" (in a nasty sharp tone)
"Maybe later but not right now, no"
"Well ive got nowhere to park" (in a very stroppy high pitched voice)
"Well i'm very sorry, do you live round here?"
"No im visiting someone!" (she said as if she's the Queen!)
"Well im very sorry, i live over there *points* where the van is but my boyfriend is sometimes called out all of a sudden, so that's why i park my car in the road!"
"Well this is just no use to me" (again in a stroppy voice)

But then she walked off back to her car turned her lights and her engine off and started walking to the house she was going to, i decided to be a bit clever and walked back to my flat, i waited a good 5 - 10 mins before quickly hurrying to my car, driving round the corner, picked up a couple of cans and drove back home......



.......TO FIND THAT THE BITCH HAD MOVED HER CAR AND PARKED IN MY PLACE!!!!!!!!!!

Is she that snobby that she couldn't leave her precious little car, on the opposite corner where it was out of the way and totally safe!!

I was not amused! I stormed into the flat, and after cursing for about 20mins to Kieron about the bitch i let it go! Although my star sign is Scorpio and i believe that there are certain characteristics that show up in different star signs - one of my traits is that i love revenge and believe me i do!!!!!

Anyway, it wasn't long before Emily, Jim, Rosey & Dan came round (after me finding them other parking places) and we were having fun. I showed them all round, and they got settled in the living room where we sat and nattered (and i told them about the Corsa woman!!) we played Atmosphere, which was hilarious and i won for the first time ever. It was almost 11pm, Emily had a PGCE interview on Saturday at Wolverhampton and didn't want to be late so they decided to head-off. After they had gone Dan, Me and Rosey decided to play 'Twister'. Now last time i played Twister i was probably about 12/13 i was lighter, slightly small, and a bit more flexible. Im now 21, im slightley heavier, taller, and not so flexible, the results .....

HILARIOUS!!!

Rosey was drunk, kept giggling and kept collapsing after 5mins, i managed to end up wrapping my legs round each other but then somehow tripped myself up and dan managed end up in some rather random positions!

It was all fun and ended the night off with a game of Jenga (which i lost!). It was almost 1am and Rosey and Dan decided they too would head off. As i was saying goodbye i noticed that there was a parking space in front of the Corsa, so i quickly grabbed my keys, moved my car and parked in front of hers, and i decided to leave hardly any manoeuvring space, she had about 1 inch between mine and hers and about 2 between hers and a jag!!!

Saturday morning, me and kie woke up to go shopping. We had breakfast and got ready, left the flat and saw the Corsa woman and what appeared to be her boyfriend trying to get her precious little car out of the gap! And guess what....


.......she couldn't!!

I thought serves her bloody well right for being so stroppy, me and kie quickly ran inside and peeked through our bedroom curtains, watching her and trying so hard not to laugh. In the end she gave up, as she was getting out of the car, me and kie quickly dashed out the flat, waited for her to go back in, dived into my car and set off for Tescos to do the shopping!!

Sunday was fairly boring, you know just usual Sunday's, nothing on TV, nothing to do except wait patiently for your Sunday Dinner. Kie cooked some steaks we had bought, and they were delicious. I sat watching him play Chrome Hounds for a bit before going to my nans as usual (I watched Terminator 3 - great film!)


That's about it for me guys!!
