Jmothecat2 Posted July 26, 2017 Share Posted July 26, 2017 Today my company announced the Instant Message programme we use is now available for download to our (personal) mobile phones. The idea I suppose, is so that we can be interrupted with incessant questions and time consuming requests for help 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, rather than just when we're actually trying to work. We had a departmental conference call and some of the brown-nosers were glowing about how convenient it is. Feck off, all of ye's. I'm contemplating using an old phone as a 'work phone' and just giving everyone at work (aside from the folk I see outside of work) that number and just having it switched off unless I'm actually in the building. I'm sick of people seeming to think I should care about work when I'm not there.The other one that pisses me off is Facebook. Some people I work with I actively hate, but I can spend five days a week pretending I don't, but the last thing I want is that c**t to add me on Facebook and think I care about his stupid fucking selfies or statuses about having a 'cheeky Sambuca with the girls' (who of course are all guys). Ugh. Twats. And they are so fucking nice to everyone and about everyone. It's not normal. You are Scottish. You aren't supposed to like people. I miss Aberdeen. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jmothecat2 Posted July 26, 2017 Share Posted July 26, 2017 Absolutely f**k all but bullet points of generic skills and details of every job they have ever had which appears to change on a monthly basis. ive just realised they've also submitted a 3 page cover letter as well. Buffoons. Did he have 'detail oriented' as one of those skills? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder if he has excellent oral and written communication skills. Anyway; I once saw a CV on which a wumman had included photos of her kids. Which was really quite helpful because it let us know she'd be the type to take time off whenever one of them had a baseball game, a school concert or a sniffle. Into the bin it went. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hedgecutter Posted July 26, 2017 Share Posted July 26, 2017 This sort of disgrace will probably be standard post-Brexit fare. #bringbackourpolishtradesmen My abiding memory was that telly was shit for ages as anything that could loosely be interpreted as related to the accident got canned. I don't even have to look it up that it happened on Sunday the 31st August. This was the morning of my brother's birthday and we're still raging that they cancelled those morning cartoons. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Without the silence bit, I'll be doing similar with my weans. Multi channel TV has had an impact on the general clued-in-ness of the general population. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jmothecat2 Posted July 27, 2017 Share Posted July 27, 2017 When I'm at home unless I'm watching something specific I have one of the rolling news channels on pretty much constantly. Is that odd? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ira Gaines Posted July 27, 2017 Share Posted July 27, 2017 Wouldn't say it's any more odd than having anything else on. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
