One year contract finished up in work yesterday.

Everyone was lovely, keep in touch, take my phone number, all the best and so on

Everyone except our manager, the very man who hired me. Didn’t say one word to me. No thanks for your work the past year (even the lovely HR lady gave me that), no all the best, no nothing, not even a handshake

In fact he kept me late on my last day to do a task, well anyone could have done it. I could have objected but sure didn’t want drama and just did it

I later said to the others I was a bit hurt and put out over his behavior but was told by the others he has been like that for years

‘Tis a shoddy way to manage people

Interview next week, onwards I go

Best of luck.

Unfortunately those types are everywhere. More to be pitied than anything else.
Even when the last thing you feel like doing is pitying their pathetic personalities.

Stupid answers on forums.

I ordered a CD from eBay that would have originally come in a jewel case with a white tray. The original case isn't going to be included and I want to make the CD look original. I asked on a forum (not this one) where I could get these cases and have them posted to Ireland without it costing a fortune.

Someone replied "there's a ton here" and gave a link to a fucking Google search for 'white colored jewel cases for sale'. I know how to use Google thanks. I looked already and couldn't find any. If it was that easy to find them I wouldn't be asking on a forum. I even stated on the forum that I live in Ireland and that any cases I've found will cost an arm and a leg to have posted here. Do people like being assholes or are they just thick as pig shit? It's really hard to tell if he was being stupid or rude.

It's annoying when CDs don't come in the original tray - the most common being a clear tray when a black one was originally there.
I have ordered black trays in bulk from https://www.ebay.co.uk/usr/shop-riverpro - might be worth checking if they could source the white ones.

There's a couple of US sellers on Ebay but I imagine postage is prohibitive and they seem to sell bulk lots - https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/100-HIGH-QUALITY-10-4MM-STANDARD-CD-JEWEL-CASES-100-WHITE-TRAYS-BL100-LZ01PK/192691253556?hash=item2cdd4b3134:g:AFwAAOSwKDpbxTsO

In extreme cases, you could just find the cheapest album possible that you know comes in a white tray and swap them around. I did that for a replacement tray for one of the discs from Mike Oldfield's 4CD Elements box set [clear frosted tray]. The standalone single CD version was also sold initially in a clear frosted tray so it was just a matter of finding one (and checking with the seller beforehand).

Left my workplace last year, couldn't stand the sh1t from management anymore. Since then there's been a steady stream of people looking for the escape hatch and out the gap, both long time employees and relative newcomers. And do know what, it hasn't dawned on the powers that be that something aint right. The expected Christmas gift card wasn't handed out last year which pissed off quite a few people.

All I got for 10 years was a lousy bottle of apple port (didn't know that was a thing) and a handshake.

No!!! Ach, he is a grand dog. I am allergic to him but he wants to be my friend. I need to be dosed up on anti allergy pills before I visit this house.

For the last few years we have kept a respectful distance from each other but he is now upping the ante and seems to want us to be closer. And I do bring him presents. Hence the lick.

Had a shower earlier. Noticed we were low on shower gel.
Went shopping. Bought shower gel.
Arrived home, putting away all the stuff I bought. But I can't find the shower gel. It's on the receipt so it's either fallen out of the bag or I left it behind at the till.
Too tired to go back now.

Wish I had more painkillers other than paracetamol so I could take more to try get rid of this headache. But no, all we have is paracetamol and I’ve already had that
