My manager came round today and brought my return to work buddy and we spent the morning sorting out how my phased return to work (which starts next week) will actually pan out.
I'm doing 4 hours a day for 2 days next Tuesday and Thursday. It looks like the first few days will be spent catching up on the administrative procedures which have changed since I was last there. It seems a lot of people have left the team and the nature of the work that we're doing has changed too.
We all 3 went out to lunch at the local Harvester afterwards and I had the fillet steak. I asked for it well done and you would not believe how charred and BLACK it was when it turned up on my plate. It was already shedding ash all over the mushrooms it came with and I tried to cut a bit off and it SHATTERED! It was completely inedible and when I complained the waitress had the GALL to say "well it IS cooked over an open flame!" as if to say, what should I expect, asking for steak in their restaurant. It was almost as if I had got exactly what I deserved by being so stupid as to ask for it well done.
YES HARVESTER, WELL DONE, NOT INCINERATED!
We couldn't wait for it to be re-cooked properly as we only had an hour and a half for lunch (and they were really slow bringing it out in the first place) so in the end, all I had was point-free salad and a jacket potato!! 3 points for the whole meal, brilliant! We even missed out on desert as it took 20 mins for the waitress to then bring the desert menus out and we had to leave! and I'm a bit miffed that they still charged £3.75 for the salad.
