Who needs it?

Christmas, I think I shall cancel it this year. I just can't seem to muster up the energy for it. At risk of sounding like misery itself, what is the point?

What I am looking forward to this year is the break from work and the fact that the Ginger Cake pickneys have no great expectations of me providing them with an exciting Christmas and are more than willing to make their own entertainment.

I feel the need to shout "Get off my Tit" at work. If another person waylays me on the way to the toilet, while i am trying to have a conversation with someone else or tries to pursue me as i try to leave the building I shall scream and then probably explode. I seem to be the copied into every email possible, even those which really have nothing to do with me. It feels as if everyone is covering there ass with mine and that's not a pretty sight.

Yesterday I was off work. Prior to this I had arranged with the team a file amnesty day in which they were to book no appointments and make themselves available to sort out their paperwork which I must say for the most part is shoddy. As myself and one of the senior social workers were not available, the team were not able to follow this simple task through and although they have not said anything to me directly, I understand that the file amnesty did not occur because there were not enough managers around. I hear the sound of abandoned children crying "where are mummy and daddy? Have they have left us again and gone to the pub?"
