I prefer CNN but now and again Fox News will get half hour of my time. The women dress very provocative on American news channels. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paddywhack Posted June 19, 2017 Share Posted June 19, 2017 There's a guy at work who I don't really know as he's fairly new and works a different shift, but three times in the past couple of weeks I've had to clear up and fix some work he's done wrong, in one case a complete rework of something that was a headache. I don't know if they were genuine mistakes or he was cutting corners but I think it's probably the latter. I gave him the benefit of the doubt and didn't point them out to anybody (although perhaps I should have, so he'd know for next time). Anyway, he got called out in an office huddle on Friday, praised for his excellent quality and productivity and won an award that will go towards his bonus. I really had to bite my tongue, I was fuming. Probably my own fault for not flagging it. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't have a choice really, they dropped in my queue because of his mistakes, but nobody would know he'd made the mistakes if I didn't tell anyone...if that makes sense. It's a very boring process. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mikeyp102 Posted June 19, 2017 Share Posted June 19, 2017 So I'm sure the majority of people will disagree or not understand my anger here, but every time I'm away on holiday my folks come round my house and do stuff. Weeding, maintenance, cleaning etc. It really winds me up and to me, makes me look incompetent to my neighbours (who have already mentioned today that I'm lucky my parents do everything for me). My parents own the house and I rent it off them, which is obviously great money wise and officially it would be the landlords responsibility for maintenance, but they could easily do it when I'm here so I can help rather than do it when I'm away.

They handed out packets of forget-me-not seeds at my wife's nan's funeral, which we planted in the garden. My parents were feeding my cat whilst we were away on our honeymoon and they thought it'd be nice to tidy our garden up. They pulled out all the forget-me-nots along with a few other plants, believing they were weeds. Thhhhhhhaaaaanks mom, through gritted teeth. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your parents are rifling through all your personal items, drawers and letters whilst you are away. The cleaning and maintenance is just cover for them to snoop and find out about your private affairs... 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
