Petty Things That Get On Your Nerves...


Recommended Posts

But apart fae that, everythings ok?

I have a flat battery after the interior light was left on eht other day. I'm borrowing the jump leads from work tomorrow, but it's still a pain in the arse.

I've went through the angry bit, now I feel deflated, and as I said, it's not the actual thing they are doing, it's more the attitude behind it as it's not the first time they have taken a good idea, and passed it off as one of their own. How they done it was I emailed the HR assistant, who i know reasonably well, and asked if she could email other people to fundraise. I don't have permission to go and do this, she in turn took it to her boss, who has jumped on this going 'woohoo, this is a superb idea that no-one's even thought about'. There's major restructuring going on with a few redundancies ay head office, so in a way, I'm not suprised that it's being passed off as her idea, it paints her in a good light and possibly says 'keep me, I'm fucking superb at my job and I'll get our name in the papers'.

They also have a bit of a superiority complex going on up there, when in fact, the majority of them are just glorified secretarial staff. They couldn't do my job for all the tea in China and I'm pretty fucking sure I can type bits of paper, gossip all day and hold meetings, to discuss meetings.

Meetings - the practical alternative to actually getting off their fat arses and actually doing something.

But he has a point. Who made you the king of P&B? It's not up to you to decide who posts and about what. Leave the guy alone ffs.

Remember, XBL is "Box Office" material for P & B.

Point and laugh "Box Office" material. Where's that post about a girl dancing with him and then running off...

It proves my point really. I'm memorable, quotable, and people keep my posts favourited. Box Office. B)

Just as I was about to get up and go out, the sky has gone black and the rain (check - mixed with some hail) is bouncing off my dormer windows! Bugger! <_<

I think you need to move country, you're moaning about the rain every day! :P

Btw, only women and gays use brollies. Fact.

George Square just now - and it'll get worse as the monsoon over Paisley is headed that way right now!

Perhaps it's just because I'm stuck in the flat. :(

The boyfriend has just been told he's not allowed to take any holidays at Christmas or New Year. Actually he's not allowed any holidays whatsoever and has been told he has to work 365 days before he is entitled to a holiday because he hasn't had a full time contract for a year yet.

Now this would of been a perfectly acceptable excuse if he hadn't already taken 15 days holiday this year. It's only because its Christmas time! He's already paid for his flights home.

This means it will be another 5 months or so before I see him :(

I'd say that's the worst attempt ever to tell someone to GTF.
