On the basis that Twitter clearing in the woods with the use of the word "now" doesn't appear to have already warned his child not to climb inside fridges , shouldn't he in fact be praising Fielding for his stunt , as now he's been given a perfect opportunity to tell his child something he'd clearly overlooked perhaps next week he could watch the episode of the Simpson where Maggie shoots Mr Burns and then he can explain to his child not to shoot people ..after he's moaned about it on twitter of course /\ This guy does not remember the epidemic that occured in the US following Indiana Jones' escapade with a nuclear blast and a fridge. 100,000s, if not millions of young children died that year from hiding in fridge related deaths. #neverforget Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xela Posted September 15, 2017 Share Posted September 15, 2017 On the subject of work emails, a lot my clients work in industries that are working every day (transport, logistics and other 24/7 operations) and as such I get emails all weekend from them. When I log on Monday morning after the weekend I'm always faced with a deluge of requests/queries/demands. *sigh* I agree with you about emails, I hate people sending them to me late in the day and usually I don't respond after 5-ish but had no choice last night Still, had no calls from work today so I guess the place didn't burn down without me.

mjmooney Posted September 15, 2017 VT Supporter Share Posted September 15, 2017 I'm loving all these posts bitching about work. Mind you, my boss does behave like a two-year-old... but that's because she IS a two-year-old. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stevo985 Posted September 18, 2017 VT Supporter Share Posted September 18, 2017 My new boss. We have an ongoing activity that I'm responsible for tracking and reporting. I send out an update EVERY DAY, showing the day's progress and our overall total vs target, line by line. New boss has just emailed me "Ben, can I get an update of where we are today?" Erm, yes. You can. I send it EVERY **** DAY! You'll get it today like you've gotten it every day for the last 6 weeks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Davkaus Posted September 18, 2017 Share Posted September 18, 2017 I think tradesmen hate me. A plumber came out on Friday, gave me a quote, agreed a time to come back with the part and do the job. Hasn't bothered turning up, isn't answering the phone. This seems to happen to me all the time. Why come out and do the free bit, then not come and do the actual job?!

Xele mate, out of order, Mr mjmooney is as I understand it, only just recently retired. I very much doubt and hope he has not arrived at the "Nappy" segment of what I have no doubt will be a brilliant and all together fulfilling retirement.. Or am I missing a vital part of information here as 2 is too old for nappies IMO. I've got work again tomorrow. not bitter or jealous in any way. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Davkaus Posted September 19, 2017 Share Posted September 19, 2017 A couple of months ago I had a water mains leak that trashed the kitchen ceiling. Cost about £500 to get the leak repaired, ceiling plastered, and I've only just painted over it. Last month, my car's ECU shit itself, I got that fixed, then they found an oil leak from the head gasket. Cost: ££££ Yesterday, I found a fairly minor leak from the boiler. Called the same plumber to take a look and to service it at the same time, and he took one look at it and said it wasn't fitted to regs, as there's no clearance at the front (the top 1/4 is basically in the loft, obscured by platerboard), but he'll pretend he didn't see it and come back tomorrow if I sort it out so there's enough room around it. So I cut through the plasterboard, and what do I find 4 inches from the front of the boiler? A **** ceiling joist. **** my life. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As in "Welcome to all the 'iSheeple', people", I think that works. On a serious note, it's just what people are used to using these days , not much more than that ? It's not something you jump from one type to another either, it would drive you mad. It is after all an old piece of tech now no matter what you have, still only a smart phone.

StefanAVFC Posted September 20, 2017 Share Posted September 20, 2017 We migrated our travel request portal - if we use the old one, the requests are just rejected outright. Okay, fine. Log two requests for two of my employees, calculate the cost, send for approval to the head of the LoB. 15 mins later - REJECTED by a different LoB - "You selected the wrong BU head" Erm, no I didn't - checked the request, I definitely didn't. Submit again - email goes to my BU head, no one else. Rejected again for the same reason. The requests are going to every single BU head and being rejected by them because it's the 'wrong LoB'. I contact the support for this particular page. "yeah we know about it, we'll fix it next month" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
