Guess my music taste is a little more obscure than I thought it was then... Still 16 of the 20 lyrics I put up that no one's got! A hint - two of them are from the same band. Wanna have a go? Here you go!

So, Wednesday - tell me it is Wednesday today? - and I'm completely scunnered with this place again. I was planning on coming in over the gap between Christmas and New Year so I can use those holiday days next year. Got told yesterday the department is staying shut and since I'm a grade 3 I can't work in another department. How is that fair? Grade 2s get to come in and save their holidays by working at lending or enquiries - me? I have to stay at home because I'm a supervisor.

Grrr.

Ah well, maybe I can get that flame thrower out and attack the garden then...

I have a seminar on the Freedom of Information Act to go this morning which could be really interesting if I wasn't completely shattered and not in the mood for sitting in a stuffy room listening to librarians drone on and on... (and yes, I'm aware I'm a librarian but that's not the same *g*) Plus we've got our annual works Christmas lunch tomorrow and I can't decide whether to leave the car at home so I can have a drink or drive in and stay sober.

I always seem to get more writing done on the train but it's nearly a tenner for a return fare and I already pay 90 quid for a parking permit...

*sigh*

I'm rubbish at those types of Quizes. The only one I'd have got would be 'What a difference a day makes' by Wee Jamie Cullum.

And *hugs* for the rest. If they are forcing you to take the days off they shouldn't be able to force you to take them as holidays. It's not your fault they've got no work for you to do those two days. (I'm sure it would be arguable that it's not legal).

And go. get completely wasted and tell your co-workers what a bunch of ****s they really are. (With a few exceptions of course)

They've covered their bases though, they're not calling it annual leave days. It's "Other Days" which are specific days of the year so we have to take them.

Sucks, but they're not breaking contract.

Hey Sho!

What does scunnered mean? I think I know from context, but would like to be sure.

scunnered - West coast of Scotland word for... bored, fed up, pissed off I guess are the best fits.

There's just some words in Scots that don't translate all that well really!

It's not just West coast slang.

And agree with it being one word that you need about ten English words to describe.

Sorry about all your dilemmas!

I went and looked at your meme and I actually know number eleven! It's London Calling by The Clash!!!
