I may be able to get own desk due to needing additional equipment but I just wish wed cease with hot decking. Because it means no one takes any care of equipment and never report when things go wrong.
People who pull obvious sickies
Like the manc fan at work who was âillâ on Monday forgetting that a) he had posted up pictures of all the spirits he was going to drink watching the footbal and b) had invitied half the office around for a EFL party.
I suspect word then got back to him that there was a good degree of suspicion about his absence, because he then took yesterday off to make it look more believeable.
And, why do people calling in sick put on a pathetic, âIm dyingâ sick voice?

Working offshore we have approx 100 people there at any given time mostly on 3 or 4 weekly rotations, now obviously emergencies at home crop up and personnel have to get off pretty quickly to deal with them. Which means you are short staffed until they either come back or there Back to back replacement turns up.
What pisses me off is not when somebody has a problem at home and they get off but when 3 other people have the same predicament within the week. You cant say âNo you have to stay until a replacement is foundâ. Or âyouâre lyingâ when you know they are . As It just happens to coincide with a holiday that week for all shorebase/country staff.
Bite your tongue, work the extra hours and get on with it.
And that is why I always send my superiors/team members an email!!
People who canât use filter lanes on roads and block the road off.
Some person in front of me this morning was turning right, instead of getting in the filter lane early he got in at the last second at such and awkward angle that he blocked the non-filter lane!!
How the fuck did I get landed with @barry-sanchez for the evening.
My god is he as elusive in answering an actual question in real life as he is on here?

Why do you poke a hornets nest when you already know it will cause you grief?

Apparently âsocial mediaâ is in uproar because Emma Watson apparently flashed her boobs in Vanity Fair. It seems that she has covered herself in scorn and ridicle because, as a feminist, she has sold out and become another weak female who exploits her sexuality, panders to men for validity etc.

There are plenty of strong, independent woman (who could be deemed as feminsists) who have done nude shoots and appeared nude in films. Helen Mirren went through a time when it was more noticeable if she kept her kit on, for example.
-
The picture that they used to illustrate the article just shows cleavage (not much more than you would see in a low cut dress) rather than a full topless shot.
Apart from the fact that Emma Watson isnt actually exposing her boobs, what is wrong with anyone choosing to be shot for a magazine any way they chose? How does that invalidate their feminist idealogy?
Hot desking is all the rage. It was introduce in our last office. Despite the fact that we had plenty of room for the staff and desks for all, we had to throw out lots of perfectly usuable desks and get rid of fixed PCs so that people could hot desk and set up their laptops. If there happened to be a lot of people in one day and you couldnt find a desk, tough shit.
What the fuck is that all about then ?
Sorry I would have looked up and said fuck this for a game of soldiers I am out of here

Probably the same reason as when the waiter brings you a sizzling dish and says be careful, this is very hot, that the minute he has gone you have to touch it just to check for yourself.

Itâs is all the rage in local government. With increase of working from home so you pay for the electricity rather than them. They get rid of buildings to make some money and squeeze staff into shit building so with shit broken desks (Iâve had to use sellotape to sort out the edge of my desk), broken chairs (you try and bag a good one), IT cables missing, laptops that have 111% charge and donât charge at all. Photocopiers that paper jam every bloody day.
Itâs as if they donât value you.

As you are now working from home this becomes your office and you should be able to claim this back as a tax rebate plus the cost of the desk and chair you are using. Or put the bills into the council as expenses incurred whilst working for them.

I now have 4 laptops.
My VERY VERY old one This has All my old Videos recorded with old fashioned Video Camears stored on it - so stuff from when my Kids werenât even teenagers on vacations.
My old Personal one with like every digital photo I ever took on it. And the danred thing wonât connect to any of my Cloud Photo Storage accounts but which is now mainly used for Netflix & Amazon PrimeVideo streaming
A decent i5 Dell Lattitude Work machine from the company that shafted me which I just paid 30 quid to have a replacement drive fitted to which now needs to have all the backed up stuff cleaned up and restored to so that it can be uploaded to the CloudâŚ
And a sexy new job Dell i7 NVidia Gamer/Work thingy with what I guess must be a Whippy Aerial and go faster stripes.
Then there is Mrs D_Pâs laptop, and of course the one I have to take back from my old job.
All stuck on the fooking dining room table, all with some work or cleaning up or copying or uploading to do.
Nowhere to eat, just a see of old Laptops, NEVER enough time to do all the tasks neededâŚ
And then there are the phones. The old phone, the old work phone, the new work phone, my actual phone, the emergency spare backup/festival phone, the Power banks for the old phones, the cables for the phones, the chargers. Why the fook do I still have round end Nokia chargers FFS? Mrs D-P changes job needs a phone takes my emergency back up S4 Camera Phone (with proper big lens) an hour to move my shit off that from Vodafone (why do I have a Vodafone Sim) then she says it is too big so moves to the old back up
