Work made me the sustainabiity "champion" and I did the Carbon Literacy training so I packed it in. Felt weird for a while though - and not in a good way. No mate, it's definitely got less weird, not more. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Silvio Tattiescone Posted August 7, 2022 Share Posted August 7, 2022 I never thought twice about it until I saw the reactions on here. The wife bought them in bulk, maybe £20 a month, less than the price of a bottle of wine. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Craig fae the Vale Posted August 7, 2022 Share Posted August 7, 2022 She's gotten up to go to get ready for bed and turned the living room light off. Guess I'll just sit in the dark then. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank f**k for that, the planet has a chance now. You’ve probably made a couple of landfill staff unemployed though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raithie Posted August 12, 2022 Share Posted August 12, 2022 (edited) We're doing this hybrid model of working (one day in the office and remainder of the week at home). Yesterday was my day in the office. Wife needed the car for during the day so dropped me off at work. As she dropped me off I asked her to come back and get me about 14:45. No problem she says. 14:45 and I'm standing outside sweating my ring off, no sign of her. Gives her a phone, "where the fook are you?"....."oh christ is that the time? I'll leave just now". I'd hazard a guess it's about 5 minutes in the car from our front door to my work. 30 minutes later she turns up, no explanation given for her lateness other than she lost track of time. She was already in a huff due to the heat so thought best not probe why it took her 30 minutes to drive what is essentially a 5 minute journey. She asked if we could go and get ice cream, I'm still on the clock for work but can come and go as I please from the office and finish up my last two hours at home if I wish. Telt her I could do with getting home, she mumped and moaned. Son was in the car so was all set on getting some ice cream so I relented. 23 mile round trip to get the ice cream she wanted due to my wife being dairy intolerant. Went from my work to one place (who had no dairy free ice cream) then from this place to another place which thankfully did have dairy free ice cream and to top it off the ice cream was tasteless crap. Ended up using all my data to sign into my hotspot to keep track on work and ended up getting car sick looking at my laptop on the journey. Wish I had just done my full shift in the office.

In future, don't pack up until she's arrived to pick you up and keep her waiting half an hour. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
