Genie Posted May 11, 2021 Share Posted May 11, 2021 I go in for a quick 30 seconds of small talk most of the time. If it’s me and close friends / colleagues it’s 30 seconds of work talk at the end Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Genuinely, joking apart - and assuming you're not joking - I'm really sorry to hear that.

tonyh29 Posted May 11, 2021 Share Posted May 11, 2021 I socialise with my clients and work colleagues, even the French ones I just assume those saying they hate their work colleagues are putting on an act for VT , like those that claim they don't like meat or Boris Johnson 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's 2021, and our council is in the second largest city in the country, yet they can't manage to email me a form. Absolutely unbelievable. I can't collect the form in person because the offices are closed. Now I have had to type out a letter, print it, and will put it through their letterbox. So glad I'm leaving this area, they're all **** useless. I'm sure Solihull can't be worse than Birmingham City Council! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Went with Plusnet, who say there is no line registered at new address even though current inhabitant uses BT internet and landline. Want to charge me an extra fifty notes. I've questioned this, and they've told me I have to contact BT and get them to do an ORDI (whatever that is). Contact BT who a) won't deal with me as I'm not a customer and b) say I can't talk to Openreach as they only deal with ISP's. Plusnet now have 48 hours to sort this pile of shit out before I cancel and take my business elsewhere. The funny (not for you) thing is that Plusnet are part of BT! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(when they send me a new router it always goes to a house around the corner as they use a different postcode , that isn't my postcode !) .. i'm trying to switch to Sky( so i can use the Q boxes as wifi rather than having yet another device plugged in) and it keeps getting rejected as , according to sky the address i've given them isn't where my phone is and where i live .. anyhow , before this goes into the boring thread ... turns out its Open Reach that don't acknowledge the existence of my house and this lady went through lots of systems and has sorted it , so i can now leave BT 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I quite like my colleagues, it's not a chore to talk to them. I've only really had 3 jobs but yes, there has been one person that I despised in each. That's not to say I haven't made any good friends, which I have, but I'd say by law of averages there is likely to be an absolute bell-end or two in 99.9% of jobs. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Two telling me my repair appointment will be on May 10th between 8.30am and 5.30pm. Today is obviously the 12th. And a third telling me my repair has been completed.
