The axe is looming overhead

I'll enjoy the break if..............I can get the Discovery's brakes fixed. On the way into work I had a gradual noise develop. Front pads could be worn inside where I can't see them. Outside look okay but I am towing the caravan tomorrow! So looks like I will be up against it now, half day looming I think! I'm pretty much skint after paying out for the front wheel bearing!

Disco sorted, managed to get some pads from the local motor factor. All stripped and rebuilt in 55 mins including stripping a caliper as it was partially seized hence the noise, the pads were tapered with wear, 3mm elsewhere!

So now tomorrow I can hitch up the caravan and enjoy a few days away with the good lady, no kids, no dogs

Just need to stock the fridge with bacon, eggs and beer!

Hit your limit then?

Currently working the last few days and what a complete struggle it is!

I cannot remember the last time I was this lethargic at work! Got 2 days this week and 4 and abit days next week, cannot wait to leave and start my new role.

Don't do anything stupid, my mate broken into part of the computer system on his last afternoon and got escorted off the site by security.

My first boss walked out 4 days before he got what would have been worth £15k or more today as he couldn't stand the atmosphere.

Don't worry I'm just ticking off the days and doing what I can to fill the time. I have no interest in messing things up, they have already done that themselves by letting me go! I'm not the vindictive type.

2.5 days to go! God I am so bored! I was asked to do the engineering audit before I go, was hoping to avoid it but thought it'll kill some time! However late yesterday and still this morning we have no access to the company server. So I can't update the stock spreadsheets! Good job I bought a copy of Land Rover Owner International last night!

Also pleased to be leaving as there was a job taken on by our Slovakian plant then subbed out to our factory in India and looks like they have screwed it up. 40 odd castor rolls have been welded and machined with the wrong hardfacing material on the journals. Sounds like this is going to cost them dearly as the customer is spitting bullets. Not good.
