Didn't really know where to put this but....no fucking wonder everything is fucked,
A mate of mine, who I've known for years, decent enough lad.
Get's a job with the Council/Public sector, driving the bus for special needs kids to school. Mind, he's not driving from Nice to Monaco every day.
Knows he needs an operation on his foot before he takes the job.
Get's me to give him a reference as a good lad/good worker and all that.
Been in the job for about 3 months, gets his date for his operation early December, has it, stays at home on the sick watching the telly.
Starts back on Monday, yesterday, does the computer refresher thing, so a slack day...back out on the job today....comes round after work, moaning because they've changed his round, doesn't fancy it and is going to give his notice in.
I says "What? You've had 3 months on the earhole, sitting reading and watching telly, 2 days back and that's it?"
"ah yeah mate, changed me round, got some real shit places to go to now, even this morning the 2 hour round took me nearly three and me bus was filthy can't be doing with it.Think I'll ask for a different round or jack it in."
So, you've had your dues paid for 3 months, two days back and that's you retired.
