Mister Angry's an Amateur

Once again I am reduced to incandescent fury by the actions and lack of consideration of other people, oh yes indeed. But perhaps not quite as much as the Director - not a happy man, walking around looking very much as if he was never gruntled in the first place.
Consider the following:
One. Two care workers due to start work this week, give one hours notice that they have decided not to quit their current jobs and start work as this would be, and I quote, "Unprofessional" so exactly how professional was their action? Quite. Its only a shame that I haven't got photocopies of their passports as I have been told that there may be irregularities with them. Boy would I love to be "Professional"(using their definition) and report them to the Home Office - but without documentary evidence...So I'll have to think of something else.
Two. The on-going saga of Halfords and the car stereo, due to be repaired in 7-10 days. Now in week five of waiting. Halfords claim it will be back by monday, I am not confident that this will be the case - I think they're waiting for it to be out of guarantee. Just wait till monday then trading standards will be called.
Three. Care worker who does not come to work as "My brother was run over a bit" - Oh for goodness sakes, what's that all about - are these people from a different planet? What exactly does "a bit" mean when describing injuries from road traffic accidents? A Squashed toenail and a bit of a fright? Tyre tracks across the chest, a bruise the size and shape of the mobile phone you were clutching to your ear instead of looking when you tried to cross the road?
And then people have the temerity to suggest that I'm a bit stressed and should take time to chill out. Ha Ha! Understatement of the century. Perhaps other people should stop doing the things that cause the stress rather than leaving me to try to manage it after the event.
