Gemma is also obviously too nice to tell them "I don't drink milk so I shouldn't be fucking sorting it out for everyone else" 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My favourite is to read it in the display box and if it unimportant nonsense to just hit delete without even having to consider a read receipt. I once had someone come and complain I wasn't sending read receipts and it looked like I wasn't even getting them. When I showed I could read and delete without it ever going to received I thought she was going to cry I heard about a guy who did this but didn't bother to delete them. When he finally got round to it his boss received about a thousand messages saying his e-mail had been deleted unread! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I was manager I'd genuinely be having a word with them telling them to stop doing it immediately and perhaps asking why they're being such fucking idiots. If only you took this environmentally friendly attitude when washing your dishes. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NJ2 Posted July 11, 2018 Share Posted July 11, 2018 Suppose this is colleague related, a work team night out has been proposed for Friday. Pub from work (a shite pub but the closest) then taxis in to town. Now, in all honesty I really can’t be fucked (and wouldn’t be a bad idea not spend too much this weekend) but am I just being a miserable c**t? Should I go? Should I make an excuse? Do you have any excuses I can use?ETA: there will be no wids in the group. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Couple of free beers to start the weekend and offski. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NJ2 Posted July 11, 2018 Share Posted July 11, 2018 f**k em.My current thoughts. I usually always go to nights out and that. Can’t moan that morale is shite etc. then patch any attempt to improve it but I’m really scunnered with work the now in general and just can’t be fucked with it. I could go to the first pub then home when they head in to town but chances of that happening are slim, bevy’s in, taxis here etc etc 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bendan Posted July 11, 2018 Share Posted July 11, 2018 If you don't often have team nights out, I'd definitely go, to both venues. If it's pretty regular, just show your (happy, smiling) face at the first pub and then make an excuse. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NJ2 Posted July 11, 2018 Share Posted July 11, 2018 Stay out on the lash long enough and they'll all be wids.There’s one lassy in our team and while she’s not unattractive it’s a no from me. If you don't often have team nights out, I'd definitely go, to both venues. If it's pretty regular, just show your (happy, smiling) face at the first pub and then make an excuse.Team nights out aren’t regular but I don’t think I’ve missed one previously and I’m usually out until the bitter end, half the reason I can’t be fucked. A couple in the first place then bid farewell (I’d actually be essentially passing the house to go in to town with them) then up the road would be best but it never pans out like that. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it's fair enough to expect you to buy your own milk if you're using it for cereal due to the amount being used. We supply milk (for tea and coffee) along with tea, coffee, sugar. Anyone wants anything fancy they buy their own. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tommy Nooka Posted July 11, 2018 Share Posted July 11, 2018 One of the very few perks of being a parent is using it as a Get Of Jail Free card when you can't be arsed with a works night out. However I rarely can't be arsed with a night out because I'm a parent. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ICTChris Posted July 11, 2018 Share Posted July 11, 2018 I think that workplaces are obliged to provide water, tea and coffee so will need to supply the requisite components for these.My work used to stock the fridge with milk but now there is a milk machine. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
