Pressure's how diamonds are created....right?

It's August...I just had to put the central heating on because my washing from yesterday evening isn't dry and I have to pack my bag for my time away tonight, cos I start for work at FOUR freakin' THIRTY tomorrow morning...so will NOT be packing then.

ARGH! This weather sucks!

I'll be away from then until Tuesday night. I'll have sporadic 'net access, but not to emails, only to LJ etc. So if you want me, comment, don't email!

I'm so freakin' busy with work that I've done three more hours of overtime than I wanted in the last 2 days, and will do another four or five tomorrow, I imagine. And today I had three of the boys working for me...they try, but they just don't GET it sometimes. They all think it's easy, then they can't do the job and say things like 'the polisher isn't working right'...yeah, it is...YOU are just being a twonk and not using it right. But every time one of them has a problem I have to solve it (one of them can't sharpen his own drill bits, for fucks sake!) So I was fighting a running battle, trying to do my own bit of the job and watch over all of them. Eventually I had to leave them to it cos I had somewhere else that I had to be...GAH.

I totally thrive on the stress - I'm never happier than with impossible deadlines and pressure, but other people being dumb does irritate me. Especially when I've told them how to do things and they've waved me off saying 'it doesn't take any skill, it's easy, don't need your help'...and then two seconds later have problems.
