Start work 9:30 immediately in meeting re new EA team

I was asked to stay behind after others left to discuss possible problems with a new set up with Pramod. I declined to switch teams but I’m having second thoughts. It depends who’s in charge.

The call volume was not so busy tonight as the weather has improved and people are now aware of how to clear blocked condensate pipes.

JDM was stuck on the phone with a nutter who insisted we send out one of our guys to repair a local electrical substation that had blown and caused a power cut. Even after 20 minutes the man was still shouting at JDM and demanding we do the repair. He could not grasp the fact that we have nothing to do with electrical distribution. I don’t know where JDM finds the patience I wouldn’t have.

Liverpuddlian with no intestines bowls or stomach

Did returned to work with JDM then had in depth conversation re implications of change to EA structure on the night team.

See Yesterday, Unified Field Theory, Lipstick,

I refer you, dearest reader, to my entry of the previous inst. With no loss of vigour my thundering, chundering and grumbling tummy continued unabated, more and more poopy pants were birthed with each and every cough, weeze and sneeze and the Himalayan like mountain of dirty laundry continued its rapid journey heavenward.


It was during a particularly vicious sneeze and follow through that I first formulate my unified field theory describing, in the simplest terms, everything contained within the macro cosmic all; from the smallest to the largest, from the briefest to the virtually everlasting, from the darkest of dark matter to the brightest of supernovae. However, as simple as this theory is and as astonished as you would be to discover the secret of the origin of the Universe, I won’t bore you with it here. We’ll leave that for another day; astonishing you that is. Mind you, no matter how wondrous the revelation, if you’re like my daughter, if it doesn’t wear lipstick you’ll think it’s intrinsically boring regardless.

Tummy Bug, Poopy Pants, Money Money Money, Onederful.

I’d had an upset stomach all weekend and couldn’t stop farting and going to the loo. Things only got worse as each day passed and by Wednesday I was shitting myself whenever I coughed or sneezed and felt as if I was going to throw up at any moment.


I continued to experience these symptoms for the remained of the week and had to take Wednesday and Thursday as sick leave. The horrible thing is that I’m not sure that I had the full blown vomit bug that’s doing the rounds and clearing schools and work places. If I haven’t then I remain as at risk as anyone else of doing so! If that happens I’m afraid it’ll be nappies (diapers if you’re an American reader) to work as I can’t afford to take anymore time off.

I think the very best thing about winning a huge amount of money, on the lottery or some other way, would not be the facility to spend enormous sums of money but rather the sense of relief that would accompany the resultant freedom; especially freedom from obligations imposed upon one because of the necessity of remaining in employment! One might choose to continue to work but one would not be obliged to. If one felt like taking a day off there would be nothing and no one to stop one; additionally it would allow one to describe oneself as one in one’s writings as one has just done…and of course, that’s just Onederful!!!

Monday 29 Nov / Tuesday 30 Nov

Tonight our team was due to start our own four day stint and it wasn’t a delightful prospect. The weather continued to worsen all across the UK and people were desperately trying to get through to us. Slept most of the day, between trips to the toilet as my tummy got worse and worse. The night was as bad as expected and I was looking forward to the  the fact that I’d booked the following night off as a holiday. I had a Governors meeting to attend and afterward we were supposed to be going out for a meal at the left bank restaurant.
The night finally came to an end and I came home happy in the knowledge that I wouldn’t be back for at least 36 hours. My tummy got worse. The school called to say that the meeting was still on but the meal had been cancelled because of the weather conditions.
The meeting was fairly brief, in the main due to the new chairpersons professional skills; Nick’s involved in local politics and works in local Government so he’s well verse in moving things along. We were done for 6:00 and I walked home with one of the new parent Governors Simon, a teacher at a secondary school who’d attended his first meeting that evening. I think he lives around the corner on the new estate but as usual I didn’t ask. You can take the boy out of the close knit Welsh village community where he hated the lack of privacy but you can’t take that hatred out of the boy. I go out of my way not to ask people about themselves.
As the evening went by…my stomach got worse; by the following morning I had the full blown bug and very sneeze or cough was accompanied by an expulsion of material from my lower parts. I very much doubt we’ll ever manage to get those pants clean again!
I did, I’ve just recalled, manage to take a few photos of the snow covered canal as I cycled home but they have come out incredibly dark. I thought the area was very bright, because of all the snow, but the pictures tell an entirely different story. Take a look for yourselves:
