That Monday morning feeling.


I was up at the crack of dawn this morning, putting the horses out and mucking out, then I had to go and buy a corner manger to put Mouses feed in as she has been trashing buckets and throwing her food all over the stable. My Husband had charged up his power drill so that I could use it, so I was back at home in no time. My Grand daughter and her mother came over this morning too, we exchanged presents and had a coffee, before the two of them left to do some last minute shopping in town.
The ambulance service that I work for has decided that things have got too bad recently, what with rota's being unfilled, people off sick and the 20% increase on top of the usual increase in workload this time of year. So, as an incentive (your going to love this!!) the boss has decided that the first 40 people who will do an overtime shift each day over the Christmas period will get....... are you ready for this,?? ..... Not time and a half but double time! Wow now theres an incentive, not! So if like me you happen to be rota'd to work those days anyway, I will still get normal time!! we don't even get time and a half! and they are wondering why there is so much bad feeling in the service. The arguments that are going on, and the bad feeling it is causing is really not good for our already low morale.
This afternoon my Husband decided that we better go shopping for a few food items! oh boy! first find a parking space... Then find a trolley... then slowly amble round the store as the isles are so full of people oh and did I mention the being run over by other peoples trolleys, and pushing and shoving, anybody would think there is going to be a national food shortage! aaggghhhh!!!!
I have one day left of my annual leave before I go back to work, just in time for Christmas, You know that Monday morning feeling? I've had it all day!
