Davina's diary

We have 2 Bulgarians and they tend to be a bit religious , not pointing fingers and they both still call me "old name". I have not corrected them yet but every one else calls me Davina , that's the 2 managers and apprentice . Mikey from unit next door (fast fit tyre and service centre) came round this afternoon to borrow some kit and called out to me in old name and got corrected by apprentice , as we have a laugh I said to him get it right or I will get you with my nails. It was funny as he went a bit embarrassed ,happy days!!

Well Davina it sounds to me like you are getting more and more acceptance and support at work. Have you thought of a little 2X4 board of education for the two morons? Yeah, you're right they probably still wouldn't get the message. That and I don't want you getting into trouble for it. But it can sure be frustrating.

Hugs,
Laurie

Just watched Britain's Got Talent and this girl singer group came on, 3 scantily clad ladies in there late 30s + . Said they were from the Philippians and wanted to be the next Destiny's Child (for those that don't know a girl group from a while ago) . It was when they started to sing Sex Bomb in very male voices , up to then totally passable . Well I didn't notice any "tells", some on here will think its a bad thing , worked for me . As I had a pissy day(work) put a nice dress on with my A cup bra and its filling out nicely , at this rate it wont be long before its to small. Bet they slow down now . Got this stupid cough/sore throat again making me feel rough . On the bright side showed one of the Bulgarian lads my new driving licence and he was OK ( I corrected him dead naming me and told him it was official) Early to bed tonight as very tired and had a job waking up this morning, nodded of with radio alarm on but you know what will happen I will wake early even though I can lie in a bit.Sods Law and all that, night night girls

Nice one...how great is that. Having your correct ID is such an affirming thing...being able to produce and official document and not be concerned...I am sure it will make you life so much easier.

Well done on the days off!!

Take care

Still waiting for bank card to come but check book came today with Miss D M on it. Text from my sister tonight , mother tripped up the step from garden and smacked up her face a bit. Eye brow glued and glasses mashed but she drove herself to local minor injuries unit (she is 84!) bit bruised but OK. Caught toe of her sandal on edge of step and luckily fell on her side or she would have smashed her nose with a concrete face plant.

Had a laugh today at work, been trying to get the assistant manager to be more assertive and one of the assistant from the other branch was down at ours. We both told him to grow a pair and then I said you can have mine as don't need them anymore , he nearly chocked then laughed.

Rachel · May 15, 2018, 04:55:06 PM

That is funny, I was very shy when I first started work and for about 10 years at work. I finally got more comfortable but never secure and fully comfortable. Maybe he has something he has been keeping quiet.

Hope mum's o.k. Davina, they are a worry when the get this age. Mine insists on shuffling around with her hands in her cardie pockets, if she fell she'd fall flat on her face. She won't listen though, stubborn as a mule is my mum.

Lol, Davina they truly broke the mould when they made you

A one of a kind, a true character, a diamond.
Good for you, I don't think you're assistant manager will be talking b*ll*cks again any time soon.

Peace and love and all that good stuff,

Sadie

One of the lads was complaining this morning saying I should be doing a brake job, but had my first test at 9.20 (8 .30 one gave up due to very bad traffic) so not enough time for me to do it. I asked manager did you tell him to shut up and get on with it, yes but in a round about way. Better as don't think he would have done that 2 days ago. Have a flat inspection at 9am so luckily had this afternoon off, did some grocery shopping on way home and then a good cleaning session . Big cook prep tomorrow morning for my visitor, I do like to entertain. Making soft carrot fudge for pudding so grated 750G ready , defrosted salmon steaks and made sure I have all the ingredients.

Look who came for tea, we had a nice afternoon and went and looked at my race car and in my unit with a bit of sight seeing on the way back. Then we had a blow out tea, hugs and they had to leave all to soon.

Kendra · May 17, 2018, 07:31:23 PM

Davina! Thank you for a great afternoon, an incredible meal and a chance to see some of the custom cars you have built. Everything was excellent. And your tandoori mushroom curry was soooooo good!

Davina (Midlands England), Sara (Wales), Kendra (Seattle).

Laurie · May 17, 2018, 07:52:19 PM

Wow, 2 good looking women coming for tea? I'm so glad they could. All three of you look great. Makes me wish I could be there with the three of you. I'm sure the meal was very well prepared by an excellent cook.

Hugs for the three girls,
Laurie

Looks like a fun time, y'all! I would have loved to taste those dishes (vegetarian?)!
