The Representative for Wellingborough blasting the air horn every 30 seconds? He's the type to loudly have a phone call on a train or walking around the office. There's basically two types of people, one group who assume everyone is really interested in whatever bollocks they're up to, and the others have some basic human decency. A few years back I got a National Express coach from Brum to Heathrow. The woman behind me was loudly on her phone the whole journey. It wasn't one call, she must have been ringing everyone in her phonebook to tell them she was going to the Caribbean. By the time we got to Terminal 3, it was nearly terminal for that bitch behind me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Genie Posted January 18, 2021 Share Posted January 18, 2021 I’ve noticed when I walk the dog round our estate there’s a bloke who’s often also doing laps, but on the phone. He walks the opposite direction to me and he’s always on his own, talking (loudly) on the phone. It’s a bit weird. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you are feeling a little low today can I recommend that you play Blue Monday by New Order on your stereo and have a bop around your kitchen. You'll feel a damn sight better then.

Its not busy, I'm just finding it a slog. I changed jobs before Christmas. At first I thought it was really shit, then for a while I started to enjoy the pressure of something new. Now I’m back to it being really shit again. Its more annoying because I was originally given the choose of 2 roles, I opted for the other one but then it closed up as business case wasn’t there at the minute. Now I’m thinking how good it would have been. I’m thinking of ways to have a quiet word with the manager to say I’m still up for it (ooo err) if he can swing it (ooo err again).

Popular Post lapal_fan Posted January 18, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted January 18, 2021 I think the thing with Jan, with it being just after Xmas and all, is that it's the largest stretch of time to go without decent weather and much to look forward to. I used to properly hate Jan/Feb. But my eldest was born in Jan and now I book that day off, just gives me something to look forward to, which is a major thing for me to stay happy. Gotta have something good to do within a few weeks/months to focus my mind. So even though this year will be pretty boring what with us not able to travel/go anywhere, I'll be bbqing, setting up the garden and getting the chimnea on the go and we'll play some games and spend some time together. Plus he'll get his villa shirt and over the moon with that 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevo985 Posted January 19, 2021 VT Supporter Share Posted January 19, 2021 I think this year is particularly hard with the new lockdown coming immediately after christmas. I know it wasn't exactly unexpected, but I think Christmas was something a lot of people looked forward to, even with the restrictions. Then suddenly it was over, nothing to look forward to and another lockdown with the virus worse than ever. I think it's got a lot of people down. It's certainly affected me 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Genie Posted January 19, 2021 Share Posted January 19, 2021 Does anyone have that guy in their team, at the end of your team meeting when there’s a round the table quick “everything ok” and he rambles shit only relevant to him for 10 minutes.
