Rodders Posted January 3 Share Posted January 3 Had a chat with future employers to get a bit more of an idea of my role as well as general logistical details. Had assumed it would be most or entirely on site. Turns out expectation is only a couple of times a week \o/ and flexitime is also happening. On the other hand the cleaner just yelled **** off at me and slammed the door when I'd exited it. I mean, it was a no.2, but still, was rather harsh. Genuinely rattled me. Should probably mention it to someone though. I'd heard him passive aggressively banging out a tune with his hands whilst waiting for me to finish too. This didn't cheer me up, but I can't be arsed posting in a new thread Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thats hilarious Ah, no, shit was taken in my current employers. It was a teams chat. I mean I've only got a couple of weeks left so could leave it, but honestly was wildly aggressive from the cleaner Perhaps just annoyed that I'd timed my trip just before he had to clean it, that's about all I can think of tbf. Edit - to clarify I didn't purposely aim to do that, just bad luck on his part Edited January 3 by Rodders 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post chrisp65 Posted January 3 Popular Post Share Posted January 3 I was sorting out the new display earlier, I’m the marketing and promotions Director at Armitage Shanks. Some absolute **** half wit only took a shit on the new AS3000 that I was setting up for the launch video. Over a thousand suppliers all across the world saw me clapping in the count down music then someone pebble dash the prototype to the tune of Riders On The Storm. 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davkaus Posted January 3 Share Posted January 3 I really want to read the post on another forum from the cleaner and what you did to rattle him "Anyway, this prick who's leaving is in there, and leaves a ripe old shit draped over the toilet seat, walks out of there whistling without even washing his hands. Good **** riddance to that fella". 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So it was The Mrs tapping her fingers on the door and telling you to **** off? This is all very confusing. Edited January 3 by sidcow 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m sure my Mrs has yelled f-off at me before when she’s entered the bathroom after a I’ve taken a shit. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rodders Posted January 4 Share Posted January 4 Not at home! Current line manager was nice about it, OK with me having a quick chat with the new people tbf. It's very quiet in current work. If I was at home honestly the wife is just as apologetic if not more so when she's dropped the kids off. I get clear instructions not to go up/downstairs as appropriate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rjw63 Posted January 5 Author Share Posted January 5 We had been without water for almost two days, yesterday at half four Severn Trent delivered us another 24 litres of bottled water. We also got 24 litres off a neighbour as they are away for two weeks. Water came back on two hours later 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
