The vet killed my rabbit today. This cost me £27.00.
Rabbits are on the cusp of whether you should bother taking them to the vets. Anything bigger, cats dogs etc, you should definately. Anything smaller, Hamsters, Gerbils etc, not worth the effort, but where do Rabbits and guinea pigs sit?
Anyway, after much debate Mopsy went to the Vets, didn't come back.

Awww, poor Mopsy. Was he/she poorly bad?
You should take them to the vets anyway regardless of the brand of pet.
GM: ordinarily I'd agree, Mr Lwcas does go wappy when it rains. But it was not raining.

Apparently a windy day sends kids wappy, (apparently the same happens with cats which may explain the curtain track Lisa?) and when they're already a bit nuts anyway it means they go really, really wappy. I can also vouch for this......the wind is the worst for sending kids loopy, it turns them into mini tornadoes ~ hell on earth ~ don't know why, don't really understand why a bit of wind should turn little angels into little bastards, but it's a universal phenonenon...well in the west country and Nottingham then (NC has been teaching her Y13s about generalisation today)I was back in the PRU today, it hasn't broken me yet but they were certainly quite exhausting today. And not even in a funny way, just incessantly irritating "for the twentieth time X please don't swing from the ceiling, and don't call sir a fat cunt..." I loved working in the PRU too ~ you're a lot braver than me though GM, I used to lock myself in the classrooms when I had a herd of 15 yr old chavs hell bent on smashing me face in Annoying? Are you fed up with saying "language" every time a student swears yet? Bloody childish they are Kids!!!

We paid £18.00 to buy our Guinea Pig, her name is Pepper, last year we spent over £100.00 in vets fees, she had a skin infection. We have many gerbils and hamsters buried under the tree but a Guinea Pig seems more like a pet, must be because of the size, and the fact when you ask her if she wants her dinner she starts squeeling at you.

Sweet back to subject matter, having to go to all day meeting (are these ever fun?) with various different people talking at you about what we should do next as a business, trying not to laugh at the speeker with the lisp (surely not the best for public speeking?) Best part of the day, Dougie Donnelly (?) being compaire, as famous as glen michael (cavalcade not rhinstone cowboy) but what does he know about / got to do with FE colleges?

Going to America a month after James leave.
Air France not allowing straighteners in hand luggage, probably because I may straighten someone to death with them switched off, or something.
Air France not giving me extra leg room.
Everything to do with being in America next week actually. Apart from the election, i'm hoping to witness some kind of riots when Senator Ooooh Could Be The First Bl*ck President Obama wins. Better than that over zealous well-dressed hick that is Palin getting some clout anyway. She reminds me of Natasha Kaplinsky, and I hate that woman.
No proper coffee in work, only decaf.

Still, it'll be ace ;D
Have you thought about getting a train/flight from Manchester, East Midlands etc - all within spitting distance? Or a Sunday flight?

It looks like I might actually be able to get a refund on the flights due to the schedule change being "unsuitable" to me. It just depends if they class a 5 hour sched change as "significant"!! Also managed to get a train back from Brum at 1100 which has only cost £18 so despite all my whingeing it's worked out not too bad! So I take it back Mac, you were wrong!!

Thanks for the offer but I really can't afford it. However the person from Ebay I sold my tickets to (face value) hasn't been in touch and as I've not sent them yet things may change! (She's already paid me!)

My job. My employers. My occupation. The travel industry My shitty career choice at 19 Corporate companies that buy over succesfully run profit making businesses and then strip the soul from them, "moving on" the very people who made the business appealing enough for them to want to buy in the first place then wondering why all of a sudden the business is no longer making a profit, panicking and selling it on quickly to some faceless acquisitions company with not the first fucking clue about what the business actually does and who in turn bring in their own corporate lackies to drive it even further into the shit and attempting to improve things by changing their management team every 20 minutes rather than realising that a bit of stability and back to basics approach is clearly what the business needs. Pricks. That actually does feel a bit better now. And as of today being put on a 30 day consultation period. Getting the option of voluntary redundancy and then finding out that my 12 years loyal service will nett me £3600 as the government have set a statutory maximum of £330 a week for redundancy payments. I'm sorry but that's fucking shite. That works out at 17 grand over a year. The UK average salary is around £24K which is around £462 a week so how can the Government think that £330 is a suitable amount and fair on employees? Fucking arseholes.
