Well my new job as a Security Officer means sitting on a reception desk controlling access to the building and dealing with enquiries.

It's ok when on a busy building but this one I'm in today is mostly quiet as The Legal Firm who have 2 floors are closed and the only people in are a group of Teachers who keep taking loads of kids upstairs to a firm that rents out rooms for use. Think they giving the kids private lessons in subjects, heard them talk about biology, god school on a Saturday poor kids! :-1

Well I stuck here for 5 more hours :(

Then off shopping as cooking Sunday Dinner for my brother and his mate who are up from Crawley and my folks who will be coming back from their caravan on the coast. What a exciting life I lead!

I like to think I am a good cook lol. I love to lock myself in the kitchen away and cook for people.

I like to experiment and make up my own recipes as well.

I going for veggie option as cheaper lol cos if bought loads of beef would only go to waste. Do not want chicken cos having it tomorrow and can't have chicken 2 days in a row :wah:

I just wanna get home and have a soak in the bath, then put some tunes on and cook myself something really nice, have a bottle of wine maybe then off to bed early as now done 72 hours of work since Monday :(

Got Sunday off then back in Monday for 4 night shifts :confused:

Life is so good lol

Lol not religious but from your mouth to God's ears lol. I so needing the attention of a good woman, my wife was very negligent in providing any kind of physical or emotional support :(

Looking back was an idiot to marry her lol, but you live and learn!

Yeah I got it made ain't I. Thinking of asking for nights but we work at least 5 nights a week so would destroy my social life lol and if got a girlfriend and she worked days I would never see her lol.

I think I will stick with Days, love is more important than having it easy at work lol.

I'm all alone now the last person hs left the building.

I was on nights last night, managed to get 5 hours sleep, by time get to bed 2moro (I have the dentist, have to show my parents house to potential buyers then I have an appointment at the building society in the afternoon) I will have been up for 30 hours :(

If you were in the US, $10 would be grand as long as it's under the table. Meaning no taxes, straight cash. Up for 30 hrs? Jeez, I'd be dead.:p

Yeah the pay sucks my last job paid 50% more but in the current financial climate and having had to relocate due to my wife kicking me out beggars can't be choosers lol :wah:

Well plenty of stuff happening at the moment still some staff in the building at 20.09 fools lol and cleaners as well. I brought my laptop to watch some DVD's got 'Bobby' about Bobby Kennedy and Season 1 of Scrubs. We patrol for 30 mins every 2 hours or so.

Got a nice curry to do in the microwave and a few cans of juice/soda and of course bit of FG :D
