I'm just catching up here If I started the day like that, it wouldn't be safe for me to travel for at least half an hour. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or first episode of season 2 at the latest. I must have stopped watching late in season 2 then, I saw a few episodes with the new janitor and was pretty there was another season to go...

Drive in a straight line, indicate, move over when it is safe to do so. It really isn't rocket science Yep, today is my second day back after the hols. There's a not very tricky junction en route, all you have to do is be sure the car in front has gone before you accelerate away. Delayed an hour yesterday because someone shunted the car in front. Delayed an hour this morning because someone shunted the car in front. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post KentVillan Posted January 7, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted January 7, 2020 The expression “Let that sink in.” which is used so many times a day by unimaginative journalists and Twitter blowhards, that it has completely lost whatever rhetorical force it once had. And all the other “mic drop” type expressions that people use in place of actually saying something interesting: - “End of.” (the worst) - “I’ll wait.” (as in, “Name a more iconic duo...”) - “Make no mistake, [insert mistaken analysis]” - “We’re better than this” (yawn) - “This matters.” (let your audience decide that) I just hate how derivative it all is and how clever people obviously think they sound by adding all these hackneyed flourishes to their mundane ideas. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apparently he's been saying it was her fault to others round work which is a bit out of order. I'm not sure I can be arsed with him any more but then you kind of have to stick with your friends through the bad times as well as the good. But either way, what an absolute bell end. Will he need to call ahead from now on then? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Genie Posted January 8, 2020 Share Posted January 8, 2020 Got home from work the other day, leaflet through the door saying McDonalds now delivering to my address. Open my email and there’s a 50% off upto £20 at Uber eats. That’s tea sorted then I thought. Opened the app and it says they don’t deliver to my address. I’d already told the kids we were having McDonalds so I had to go out and get it when I really couldn’t be bothered. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seat68 Posted January 8, 2020 Share Posted January 8, 2020 Got a desk. It's clear as I am not a messy clearing in the woods. Woman on desk next to mine decides it's ok to put her shit on to my desk. She is new so I will sound like a complete arsehole if I tell her to move her stuff. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Until recently, I had a similar situation. Woman next to me kept the messiest desk ever whereas mine is tidy at the end of everyday - I’m either working on something or it goes away. I don’t believe in storing shit on my desk to try and give the image of busy. Anyway, we had mess creep, she genuinely felt if her desk was messy and mine was clear then it was ‘sensible’ to pile some shit on my desk. That shit was never found. Probably accidentally ended up in the recycling. That’s my guess. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So I can't take it back and normal same people wouldn't see it as a massive problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, plan B, and this is what I did.... we had an office move and I went all prima donna / alpha sulker and insisted I move locations to a new corner where I have a window, no clutter, quiet for phone calls and all that sort of prime office real estate. They gave it me! The guy that is in a couple of days a week has one of the two prime spots. I couldn’t believe it, but I had spent 6 months with a desk where the ceiling height was exactly the same as my height and I grazed my bald patch on a light fitting. So I guess they felt I deserved it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
