WeAreElgin Posted July 29, 2014 Share Posted July 29, 2014 I'm all set to start a new job on Monday, having completed a mass amount of paperwork for it, background checks etc. which is fine, I'm looking forward to something different. Only for some fucking HR woman to phone me this afternoon because I hadn't supplied an official email address for a reference in a job I'd had nearly 6 years ago. I asked if it was important and if so she could just phone the number I'd left. Nope, she was insistent I had to supply my line manager's official email address. I'd have loved to have seen her face when I told her we would both struggle there as he died a few months after I left. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RandomGuy.

DA Baracus Posted July 29, 2014 Share Posted July 29, 2014 Folk who pronounce Kenya 'Keen-ya'. For all I know that could be the correct pronounciation, but it irritates me 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cardinal Richelieu Posted July 29, 2014 Share Posted July 29, 2014 Both entrances to Clyde Tunnel pedestrian footpath closed and locked after deciding to go for a healthy walk home after the TT at Scotstoun. Found the first one and it had a big arrow pointing to the other entrance a fair dod away. Both equally shut. There are a cornucopia of purple signs around the city giving people directions... in Castlemilk they have signs every few hundred metres telling people the blindingly obvious. Yet not one fecking sign telling you that if you're wanting to cross the Clyde by foot, you're in for a long long stoat to the Squinty Bridge. Arseholes. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Florentine_Pogen Posted July 29, 2014 Share Posted July 29, 2014 Do they say "Get the f**k out if here as quick as you can" No, the signs actually read 'Chateau du Lait' - makes all these furriners think it's dead posh. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cardinal Richelieu Posted July 29, 2014 Share Posted July 29, 2014 Do they say "Get the f**k out if here as quick as you can" I wish they did. They point out to cyclists in minutes the distance to the utopia that is George Square. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She also pronounced Matt Damon's name as "Dah-mon" the other day. Fucking baffling. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Broomhill Ultra Posted July 29, 2014 Share Posted July 29, 2014 My wife seems incapable of working out how to use the wee cardboard tabs on boxes with cling film and tin foil in them. Or that there is a cutting edge on the box to keep them straight. Result ages spent trying to even up the fecking foil. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd have loved to have seen her face when I told her we would both struggle there as he died a few months after I left. This is almost verbatim the issues I'm trying to sort out with my new job. It's a fucking nightmare; security checks, fucking utility bills, references from companies I haven't worked for in 5 years who probably won't even remember me. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WeAreElgin Posted July 30, 2014 Share Posted July 30, 2014 This is almost verbatim the issues I'm trying to sort out with my new job. It's a fucking nightmare; security checks, fucking utility bills, references from companies I haven't worked for in 5 years who probably won't even remember me. I understand that it's pretty important to check out my work history to a certain extent but I fail to see the relevance in pestering someone I've never met about a job completely unrelated to what I'm starting, which I left over 4 years ago. See also; the difficulty in attaining a utility bill when everything is paperless and you don't have a printer - the only thing I have is our landline bill which is still in my wife's maiden name. I want my 20p from the library back. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Venti Posted July 30, 2014 Share Posted July 30, 2014 Speaking of Starbucks. Thing that gets me is the look on people's face when you do a random act of kindness. Payed for a guy's coffee in Starbucks when he started fumbling about for his wallet. Looked at me like WTF? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
