Why me...!!!

After a very pleasant couple of weeks back at work...and a full and entertaining social life I have found a brick wall and run right into it...!!! Not my fault and entirely unavoidable. The brick wall is my immediate boss who, as of Monday, is going to be acting as the main boss for two weeks.....Holy shit...two whole weeks...!!!

I am usually pretty good at getting along with virtually anybody but this bloke is beyond even me. He is out of touch in our workplace, which in itself is a worry, and he is constantly trying to impress his superiors in a vain attempt to aid his promotion options....!!!! Add to this his stubbornness, inability to accept change in technology and his really bad comb-over and I have a two week nightmare to endure....did I mention that he handballs most of his work to those he can "trust" - meaning those who can't refuse.....that would be me...!!! I would take leave but we are already very short staffed and it would certainly be refused anyway.

Our current main boss understands the problem but is not able to do much except sympathize....my better half just wants me to tell the nightmare to get f**ked....I wish I could and one day I probably will...at the worst possible moment...!!!

I am too busy to deal with this tool right now so I'm going to try not too.......

Maybe I should go and have one of those really good beers I have made.....Hmmmmmmmmm beeeeeeer................................................................... Beer and pizza....sounds like dinner to me. Anyway it's not Monday yet.

Celebrations...

Well it's been a week of celebrations for us...a birthday and a wedding anniversary (24th..!!)

We spent some quality time together, as well as with the family and really enjoyed ourselves. A night away at a lovely little spot in the hills and a particularly good French meal.....they really know how to make desserts...!!!

Sadly it was back to work today and geez....one day off and there's always a pile of extra work to do. It sort of puts a dampener on the fun....oh well no point worrying.

The foot is improving rapidly now and I'll soon be back to walking for exercise....oh joy.

The beer is still very good and it all seems to be very strong....several tasters have found themselves falling asleep after only one glass.....hmmmmm....only a small problem.

I must work on my pirating when I get some spare time..........aaaargh..!

Woo hoo....more good beer

Well that pretty much sums it up....another batch tested and found to be good. It's 'Blue Mountain Lager' with extra amber malt added by the master brewer (that would be me...!!!). It has come out like a brown ale in clour with a light malty taste...should be very refreshing during the approaching long hot summer.

Well I have survived yet another week back at work and now the weekend has almost finished....already..!!! Time flies when you are having fun....and when you're busy as well. Did a heap around the house and finally built the desk I had been promising for over a year. I've had all the stuff to make it and it took way to long for me to get off my fat arse and actually do it.......sometimes I really get pissed off with myself for my procrastination......you'd think I could address that.

Note to self....'Pull your finger out!'

First Week....

Well I made it through my first week back unscathed........no major blow-ups and no-one stood on my foot....yay!

The boss is going relieving and 'G' is acting for a while.....no f**king with my crew this time...at least not without a major blue....!

And my beer still tastes great...!!!!
