I got into work this morning and discovered my “partner in crime” managed to break her wrist after falling during an aerobics class which just totally proves to me that any form of exercise is dangerous! Seriously, it sounds like she has really given herself a sore one and had to have surgery this afternoon.

She’ll probably be off work for weeks now and it totally leaves me in the shit since I’m the only one who can do most of her work. We also have a lot of staff in our team taking holidays this month which is going to add an additional strain since we won’t get any help from other departments. I feel like crying already. My life would be so much easier if people, especially social workers and lawyers, learned how to do their jobs properly and stopped complaining about the length of time we are taking. Hello? Stop calling us and we’ll get peace to do some work!

Honestly, I love technology but we seem to have the crappiest phone system on the planet at work and some days it drives me insane. I actually had a mini meltdown last Friday and complained about all the personal calls I was having to deal with on a daily basis. We are dealing with so many other queries, by phone or in person, I just don’t have time to pass on personal messages. Fortunately, my boss agreed with me and is tackling the issue.

Anyway, now that I’m done moaning (again!), i’m off to have a hot shower to see if it will bring some colour back to my toes. So far March has been bitterly cold with a swing back to winter again with snow! We didn’t get any though.
