Milk-gate in Diary

Oh my god, how people get excited about milk! A few weeks ago, they changed the milk order at work from all semi-skimmed, to half semi-skimmed and half skimmed. And the uproar it's caused! Everyone's squabbling like children!

Bearing in mind I never use milk; I don't drink tea or coffee and I don't eat cereal, so I couldn't give a tiny piece of shit about it. But the women in my office keep dragging me into it. As soon as I walk through the door at 8:45, our HR officer is pouncing on me to give me the latest thrilling and scandalous update. It's gotten that bad, I've taken to sitting in my car until 8:59 to avoid it until I actually start work.

"Where's all the semi skimmed gone? I put a new bottle in our fridge yesterday and it's gone this morning. Who's taken that then? I think it's the cleaners. It must be the guys from the warehouse. I bet it's them upstairs who can't be bothered to walk to the canteen. I went to get some more and there was only one bottle and someone's written their name on it. I hate putting skimmed milk on my cereal! I don't know why they changed it. Michelle, can you ask them to change it back?"

No! No I bloody can't! The milk order has absolutely nothing to do with me, if you hate it so much, YOU ask them to change it back! It's driving me insane, it's like this every day, the amount of importance they're putting on the bloody milk, it's like World War Three has broken out.

LMFAO! My workmate Amy has just arrived for work and the first words she said to me when she came through the door were "Have you seen the milk in the fridge?" NO! NO I HAVEN'T! SHUT UP ABOUT THE FUCKING MILK!

And breathe...

Seriously, this is the kind of shit I'm not going to miss when I no longer work in an office.

In other news, the people who asked me to dog sit for them tomorrow now want me to go tonight as well. They say their blind, epileptic German Shepherd now has a back injury and hasn't slept for several days, so he's also keeping them awake by pacing around they need to get away for some sleep. I was looking forward to a lie in tomorrow myself as I've been so busy lately, I'm also exhausted. But I couldn't bring myself to say no, plus it's extra money for me. I feel sorry for them all, they say they considering having him PTS as he seems to be suffering too much, but they need to make that decision when they're not exhausted.

So I'll now be spending my whole weekend in a stranger's house! I'll have to take my laptop, Kindle and some DVDs to watch.
