The last ever entry about Lloyds TSB
Ten things I will not miss; 1. Having 25 minutes and 12 seconds break a day. 2. Being reprimanded for going over this time yet getting no compensation for having to stay behind for 15 minutes. 3. Getting stuck with … Continue reading
My last week in work was the best week since the first one, in terms of entertainment at least, and I didn’t even have to change anyone’s name to “smug twat” and send them a new card to make it … Continue reading

This week marks the point where the person who makes decisions at Lloyds has decreed that I can finally have the hours of a normal, sane person. For this reason I’ve been able to spend a lot more time doing … Continue reading
Bored out of my skull this weekend, I’d been planning to go out somewhere cool and get battered beyond belief. When it came to it though, nobody else wanted to and I’d somehow agreed to do five hours overtime on … Continue reading
