sidcow Posted August 2, 2022 VT Supporter Share Posted August 2, 2022 I walked through the ICC today. Subway have taken over the ground floor restaurant. I am not sure that I found it disgusting but I can confirm the whole foyer of the ICC did reek of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Generally you can't say anything as you would have in the old days, unless they have shot someone, or kicked a minority in the balls for being a minority. Did I mention HR are generally useless too, they do everything they have read in the book of HR, no real understanding of the stresses of work. Indeed it's bloody hard to tell someone outright. Got to do it via a standardised process eg .one to one's etc where the sh*t get highlighted and get them to work to agreed targets. Build up the evidence of a period of time makes it easy when you go to HR to progress it. It's win-win, they either buck up and do it, f*ck off as they can't be arsed or f*ck it up which makes it easy to go to hr. The last time I had to do it HR were surprised i had 9 months of documentation. Like you said HR are generally just reading the manual and don't actually get it, but I did have a good HR lead where I used to work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JoshVilla Posted August 3, 2022 Share Posted August 3, 2022 The scene in Bohemian Rhapsody where "Roger" is being told to sing higher when recording BR, then in the following take he's singing the same notes that he was singing before. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

foreveryoung Posted August 3, 2022 Share Posted August 3, 2022 The Mrs went to centenary square today to take our lad to see the bull and buy him a little Perry Bull. Came back with a small Perry Bull a Medium Perry Bull and a Commonwealth games T Shirt for him, all for a bargain £70 quid. He did go to hospital today though for a check up an blood test, so can just about allow it (biting my tongue). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sidcow Posted August 5, 2022 VT Supporter Share Posted August 5, 2022 (edited) The Alexa volume from 5 to 6 seems like a massive jump. I feel like for background music listening whilst working 5.5 would be ideal. Volume 4 to 5 doesn't seem like a big jump but when you get to 6 it becomes quite intrusive. It probably is even but it doesn't seem like it. I just wish there was less of a jump between settings. Edited August 5, 2022 by sidcow 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is a general annoyance I have with many things like TV, Phone etc. The steps are too big and irregular. Let’s get back to a sliding volume control (physical or digital) so we can set it exactly where we want it 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
