Been with the new company a month and it’s like a breath of fresh air. Yes it’s not all sunshine and roses, it then what employment is. My colleagues and managers have been welcoming and I’m back driving a bus 🚌 👍

So as some may know, after 17 years of working in Oxford (and surrounds), that time has come to an end. Not my choice, but things have not been good for a while. So onwards and upwards, hols in the Southern Hemisphere and new employer next month, but still driving a bus 🚌

Today I heard a chap I was at school with in the Netherlands passed away yesterday from cancer. I suspected it was coming but still a shock, especially as he was the year below me. On X he had a dry wit that is rare these days. RIP @edthetechie you brightened the lives of many.

Haven’t posted for a it; combination of the attempted suicide and other stuff, I ended up collapsing at work and being taken to hospital. Then signed off for 3 weeks. Been back at work over a month now and am better now due to various therapy and drugs. Diagnosed with PTSD.

The effects of the attempted suicide made my anxiety the worst it’s been in years, to the point of having panic attacks. Work were supportive, then my boss made me have two days off. I was furious at the time, but he may have been right, much as it pains me to admit this! 🤦♀️

Today was a testing day at the coal face. A man attempted to kill himself by throwing himself in front of my bus. I didn’t kill him, or even hit him. He looked straight at me before he jumped - it was definitely deliberate.

Just a quick message to wish everyone a Happy New Year and I hope 2026 brings all that you want. I spent NY out in the wilds of Scotland with my sister and her family. They fly home tomorrow and we have a long drive back and the reality bites on Monday!

Turns out the van driver who cut me up a year ago is now saying it’s my fault 🤦♀️ so I now have to give a statement to the company legal people. I remember this one quite well, including his admission that he left me with nowhere to go!

My grandmother married an American so I have family there. I’ve been twice, I’d like to go again, but it’s not feeling very welcoming right now.

I’ve said it before, we have a work FB thing, the company use it for serious stuff & info, we can use it for whatever, as long as we play nice. The ‘administrators’ (any manager) can delete stuff, and you can be banned. I’ve just had such an innocuous comment deleted I give up 🤦♀️

You can’t be forced to do overtime. Yet today I was 33 minutes late off - not my choice, but not a lot I could do about it. 🤷♀️😡
