I love my new job. It is not perfect, but it is great. Though to be fair, I have not even worked there a week, and I am having to adapt. They use a completely different computer system at my new job and that is taking me time to get used to. And of course, I will have to get used to that 30% pay cut!
Anyway, the kids. My daughter had her uniform bought today. As she is so slim, special trousers had to be bought. By special, I mean more expensive. My son in the meantime is speaking so much more. Every day, I hear something new. Anyway, time to go. I hope you like the jokes...
Dear Twilight fans,
Thank you for making us look sane and fit back into everyday society.
Yours sincerely, Trekkies.
Was at a womens golf tournament recently and was thrown out
Apparently they dont take kindly to anyone shouting
I just remembered what one of the people at my work told me to post on my blog.
And this video, is for you. And until today, it was for me as well.
Going back to the kids, they have had a play date today. Or rather, my daughter did. She had two friends come round, and of course, my son got to play with them as well.
By the time the two of them came to my work, they were still full of energy. And on coming into the room that until today, I used, they loved it. Balloons, lots of them. Which of course, they took home. The balloons were from the girls at work. Along with the blow up doll, the chocolates and the genuine comments they gave me. I will miss them.
A crowded Virgin flight was cancelled after Virgin's 767s had been withdrawn from service.. A single attendant was re-booking a long line of inconvenienced travelers. Suddenly an angry passenger pushed his way to the desk. He slapped his ticket down on the counter and said, 'I HAVE to be on this flight and it HAS to be FIRST CLASS'. The attendant replied, 'I'm sorry, sir. I'll be happy to try to help you, but I've got to help these people first, and I'm sure we'll be able to work something out.' The passenger was unimpressed.
He asked loudly, so that the passengers behind him could hear, 'DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEA WHO I AM?' Without hesitating, the attendant smiled and grabbed her public address microphone: 'May I have your attention please, may I have your attention please,' she began - her voice heard clearly throughout the terminal. 'We have a passenger here at Desk 14 WHO DOES NOT KNOW WHO HE IS. If anyone can help him find his identity, please come to Desk 14.' With the folks behind him in line laughing hysterically, the man glared at the Virgin attendant, Gritted his teeth and said,'Fuck You!' Without flinching, she smiled and said, 'I'm sorry, sir, but you'll have to get in line for that too.'
I am lucky to have a great family. They came up to help me clear my room. When at work, the girls there got me more stuff. After lunch, in my room there was a Phillipa Hole to be seen. I entered my room to find it strewn with cards rating me out of ten, sexy knickers, and the patient on the bed. A blow up doll, with tasty chocolates in certain holes!
While I do not think that the doctors there fully appreciated me, it is nice to know that everyone else did. And it makes me sad to leave them. Really sad.
But, I am free!

I left work and packed up a lot of my things before I left. I am still glad that I am leaving, but I am sad that I am leaving both patients and most the people I work with. They keep saying that they will miss me, and I can not help but think that will be true. I know it sounds big headed to say that. But I know that I will miss them.
Do not get me wrong, leaving is the right thing for me to do. Both for me, and because my workplace will not change, for it as well. But I have worked there for eight years and it is hard to do. Even though I am told things will change, things do not.
Anyway, I guess that I had better go to bed soon.
I hope you like the joke.
A young man burst through the doors of the surgery and shook the doctor by the hand.
"Thank you doctor, thank you so much," he said. "you couldn't possibly imagine how how much I've benefited from your treatment."
The doctor looked puzzled. "But your not one of my patients," he said.
"That's right," replied the man, "but my mother-in-law was, and I've just come from her funeral!"
Tomorrow is my last day. Jo at work is planning something, and knowing her, it will be very memorable, for all the wrong reasons for me!
Today my son woke up at 0520. He did that yesterday as well. I have not been sleeping well in the last few nights so having to wake up extra early because of him is not that appreciated. Mind you, on Monday when he said (for the first time) "Daddy come into my room" I was a lot more understanding. He is learning new things with speech every day.
And his sister, not learning as fast, mind you, she is four, but she is picking up loads. She does like to pretend that she is blonde though. Not that she pretends ot have yellow hair, but she is very good at coming across as knowing less than she actually does!
Breaking News
Yesterday scientists revealed that beer contains small traces of female
hormones. To prove their theory, the scientists fed 100 men 12 pints of
beer
and observed that 100% of them gained weight, talked excessively without
making sense, became emotional, couldn't drive, and refused to
apologize when wrong.
Two days left! I feel guilty about leaving the patients whom I have built up a relationship with. And as noted on other days, most the staff at work. But that is it! On Monday, I start work much close to home in a workplace that appears that it will value and support me more. Even if or does not, at least I will be closer to home.
So today, I did some agency work to get some cash before my pay cut. And on getting home, I got to pick up the kids from nursery. Normally they go on a Monday, and this week they did. Due to Bank Holidays, they have 'extra' days. And today was one. I went to work, they went to nursery. And on being picked up, I was there! The hug I got from my son! He has never hugged me as hard as he did. My daughter loved seeing me as well. And afterwards, I got to take them to the shops to get the paper and of course, some sweeties for them and a lottery ticket. I used to win £10 every other week before I went out with my wife. But since winning the lottery of love, I have only won once, that was four numbers on a midweek draw when I got around £40. But I would rather be with my wife than have several million pounds.
And back to the topic of moving on. Five days, and I start my new job!
A young brunette goes into the doctor's office and says that her body hurts wherever she touches it.
"Impossible," says the doctor. "Show me."
She takes her finger and pushes her elbow and screams in agony. She pushes her knee and screams, pushes her ankle and screams and so on it goes.
The doctor says, "You're not really a brunette are you?"
She says, "No, I'm really a blonde."
