Silvio Tattiescone Posted October 30, 2020 Share Posted October 30, 2020 Every year I miss the last cut for my grass. The garden looks shit but it won't stop raining now for months, when the snow starts. Oh and the incessant rain has helped me discover 3 seperate leaks in the shed roof. fukkit. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm in this situation this year. It's dry today though, if the rain stays off I might just go for it this afternoon. Even a cut on the longest setting of the mower would be a decent improvement. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've got the Nokia ringtone as a bit of auld man nostalgia on my iphone. Always a struggle not to answer it with a loud "HELLO. NO I'M IN EDINBURGH.

TheScarf Posted October 30, 2020 Share Posted October 30, 2020 Currently doing temp IT work until I start my new permanent job and the guys who work here full time (but WFH due to the Rona) are on a rota to come into the office for 1 day a week so I'm not there by myself (I'm not on the insurance due to me being temp) and every Friday they have a call to discuss who is coming in on what days the next week. Every week this call descends into arguing and who has had to go in more than someone else. I've been here 5 weeks and finally pointed out today that they'd all be fucking in 5 days a week if it wasn't for the current situation, so why are they all in floods of tears about having to drag their fat arses off the sofa and away from Netflix for 1 day a week. Another thing is we have a daily call that starts at half 9. There's 8 in the team and the manager insists that every day all 8 of us have to discuss what we're planning doing that day, this call takes an hour at the absolute minimum, and you're sat there listening to stuff that has zero affect on your job. Doing simple sums that's 8 man hours a day, 40 a week, wasted on a pointless call. That's more than 1 FTE, and the boss gurns we need more staff... To the shock of no one, it's a public sector job. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I used to work in a local government IT job and every Monday morning we’d sit in a meeting for 2 hours as we each explained to the rest of the team how busy we were. As the project progressed and fell further behind schedule, we’d also have a weekly meeting with the Business System Manager who would spend an hour berating us about how badly we were doing. Did wonders for team morale. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peasy23 Posted October 30, 2020 Share Posted October 30, 2020 I can't find the book I want to read. It was in the kitchen and now it isn't.Spent 10 minutes looking for my Kindle to take to work last night. I knew I had moved it from the living room into the kitchen not long before. Turned out I was right, I had put it on the kitchen table, then cleverly hidden it under my WSC magazine. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did wonders for team morale. I worked as a salesman for a company based in Cannock. We had 5 sales meetings a year and, because of the distance I would travel down the day before and travel back the day after. We got a new sales director and I was summonsed to a meeting with him. "Newborn," he said (not my real name), "I'm concerned at the amount of time you take off the road" "Oh, you are are you Arsehole?" I replied (not his real name) "Yes, can you explain the 15 days last year where you made no calls?" "Umm, well sales meetings" "What about the other 10 days though" he said triumphantly as I'd walked straight into his trap. "Arsehole", I replied, "It's about 300 miles each way to the office, about 5 hours driving. It takes me a day to get here and a day to get back" "Oh", (looks at my file), "Ah, right" "And now I've lost another 3 days coming down to tell you that" 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hank Scorpio Posted October 30, 2020 Share Posted October 30, 2020 Fucking Edinburgh and it’s fucking road works. Sat in Corstorphine Tesco car park for over an hour earlier, complete gridlock. It’s just busy everywhere all the time. I can’t wait to move away and never live in a city ever again 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sometimes i miss the civil service. I needed to get access to a database for one specific team because it was obvious it would save loads of time, cost nothing and cause no data security issues. But you can't just ask. I had to use problem solving processes to "engage stakeholders" in identifying and defining issues, exploring potential "solutions" and eventually costing "solutions" before coming up with a project plan to implement them. My first meeting involved about 30 people, including people travelling for like 5 hours. It took 4 and a half hours for us to successfully define the issue (stage 2 of 8 on the problem solving O). It took 4 months and several more meetings to get access to the database. It could have taken 5 minutes to call the right people. Still, kept me in work. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
