And no (Hons) after the BEng?

 

Not for postnomials, just BEng shall suffice.

One of the societies I'm a fellow of always send me stuff with absolutely everything after my name to the point my postie must think that it's an option and that I'm a right ****.

Every time I see the GN thread on Edinburgh Pars it gives me a brief thrill, thinking there may be others like me out there. Then after looking a bit closer it actually says "Edinburgh Bars".

The truth hurts. Could jump ship and become a Jambo but would rather sever my genitals and feed them to a polar bear than wear maroon or listen to Scott Wilson. 

At least Dunfermline's just over the Firth. Otherwise I'd say follow the Spartans, just mind and leave your pets at home.

Folk putting their qualifications after their name in emails and letters. f**k off

Henry Hill. Scotvec Football Module Cert.

This really bugs me too. One or two in our office have it on a nameplate on their door as well.

Similarly - colleagues who put the exclamation mark on their emails to gain extra attention, or folk who actually put "Urgent" or "Please Read" in the subject box as if they've lost all awareness of how an email works.

Or colleagues who feel the need to advertise that they are "working from home" fourteen times a day.

I hate offices, think i'll go back on the tools.

Thanks for your interest but we’re not looking for any other fans at this moment. Although, this will be dealt with on a case to case basis. All the best with your future endeavours.

7.00am, all team, inconsequential email is absolutely guaranteed from some of the mugs. Followed by another at 6.00pm.

Aye right, you've worked 11 hours solid, we believe you.

I sent one to my boss about yield and rental per calendar month to let him know I was watching Homes Under the Hammer.

Trolling cold calls could be a new hobby.

I done it once. Boy was trying to tell me if I had £5k debt he could consolidate it and get me 10% back. I told him I didn’t have debt but was happy to go with his figure and was willing to give him my address if he was able to just send cash. He kept re-explaining, I just kept asking what amount of cash he could send. He hung up on me [emoji17]
