More than trivial but being told you're useless and a disaster by someone at work.

Morning Seph! Post pulled at the heartstrings ... what a horrible “colleague”. I’ve worked in a few different jobs and “there’s always one” (not currently, thankfully). Wishing you a more positive workday today (I’m on weekend countdown since ... Monday morning!)

Just open your private cabinet and file this guy under ‘arséhole’. You are new to the job and it takes time to get the flow and learn more about your colleagues and work. So you are becoming more and more valuable.

In which direction might Mr. SoMuchMoreImportant develop his abilities? May be becoming ‘The biggest arséhole’? :pac:

Just activate your troops and blow him away...:)

When you go to dip a rich tea into a mugeen of tea and the fcuker is too wide to fit in the cup.
You nibble a bit off it then and the fcuker turns to crumbs in your paws and your dreams of a dipped biscuit are but a distant memory.

I stayed later in work yesterday hoping it would stop raining so I could go for my run. At 6 it still hadn't cleared up. So now not only was I wet anyway but also late.

MET Eireann weather radar is useful for stuff like that...


My TA is ads on apps. I know it's a delicate balance for app developers and they have to generate revenue somehow, but I was using the free version of an e-reader app that updated itself from small ads to huge ads. While before I hardly noticed the ads, all of a sudden it was displaying full screen ads every time I opened it that I couldn't close for five seconds! It was swiftly replaced by a pirated 'pro' version. Piss off your users? No ad revenue for you!

When you lose your phone for a few hours and finally get it back and check it to see what you missed.

But no missed calls and no texts or emails or alerts. Mr Unpopular!

TA Tesco makes me sign in twice.



TA people (someone not on boards) sneering about the storm coming to nothing today. It's not due today but you can't get through to people like that. I think they're covering their fear.

Lost an earpod last night walking home in the rain. Well actually i managed to drop both of them but found one. Got soaked trying to find the other one.

I've never had a pair of those for that reason. I imagine it's quite easy to lose them. At least with headphones you can follow the cord!

More upset than annoyed and not so trivial.

The radiology department in my hospital has installed a bell. I’m so disappointed that they have done this, though I’m also surprised at how much it has upset me. The whole idea of the bell is that a person rings it at the end of their treatment. It’s symbolic. I’m sure people are wondering what the problem with that is. Well, for many people, the radiation therapy they receive is merely palliative, to beat back tumours for a while or relieve symptoms. They’ll never finish treatment. Those bells are so in-your-face. Now I’m fearful that the onc day ward, which I attend, will install one. I don’t know how I’ll handle hearing that bell maybe a few times during my visit, knowing I’ll never ring it myself. I contacted the hospital to voice my concerns and got a reply back saying “the bell gives people hope!”. I was thinking “What about those of us for whom hope is lost?”.

I know I sound curmudgeonly here, but I just find the whole idea so insensitive and tone-deaf. There are plenty of ways to celebrate, surely! But it’s something you can’t publicly criticise. You’ll be excoriated! I’ve even seen terminal cancer patients being rounded on and accused of envy for criticising the bells. Of course they’re envious, they’d give anything to recover!

Widdershins

Seems really thoughtless, just as you wouldn't celebrate right in front of other patients in any other way, knowing others were at different stages and having different outcomes

I feel like sensitivity in hospitals is something every adult should just know about. When we were kids, if we were visiting somebody in hospital, my folks would always remind us to be mindful of the other ward occupants as you never know what anyone else is going through.

For me, hospital is a mental trial. Treatment day is very draining, both physically and mentally and something like a bell would send me batty. I’m crossing my fingers that one won’t be installed in the onc day ward because it will be very hard to get rid of once it’s there. The patients there are in all kinds of conditions. Imagine that bell ringing beside somebody who isn’t feeling well and has a poor prognosis? I can’t believe this idea ever caught on but it’s part of the inane positivity culture that surrounds cancer. Nobody considers the terminal patients’ feelings because nobody wants to acknowledge that we exist, let alone that we have feelings.

I knew I had to stop reading below-the-line comments on Facebook the day I saw an advanced cancer patient being rounded on for explaining why so many of us hate the bells.

And it’s not that I don’t want other people to recover, it’s that I want to also and that ringing would be a cruel reminder that it will never happen.

Made myself lovely nachos earlier.And everytime,i went to take a bit one of the kids would ask me something.I swear they where doing iy on purpose[grin]

When you’re working behind a bar and someone comes up and orders a big round of drinks. Grand, you get them everything they’ve listed and then they say “...and a pint of Guinness”. Should’ve asked for that first so it has time to settle while I was getting everything else

When you’re on the phone and you need to write something down so you grab a piece of paper. You can’t on one side as you need it. Go to flip the page and realise the other side has writing on it too so you have to find another piece of paper

Penneys and putting clothes on the wrong hanger.Its just so annoying.

Got a TV licence renewal reminder, of all the bills I have to pay I really resent paying that one.

I’m sure she was paid a fine wad of cash and maybe she wanted to remain anonymous

They could’ve politely thanked her without identifying her.

They had a very close relationship with her throughout the pregnancy if you followed any of the interviews he did or his posts on his instagram.

For all you know, she could have asked not to be mentioned at all. Maybe she doesn't want the recognition or attention so soon after giving birth and just wants to be left in peace.

I'm sure they're more greatful for the gift they've been given than we'll ever know.

Especially when there is no time to try things on and I lazily don't double check and assume the size on the hanger is the size of the clothing I am buying.



Me when I get home and realise the clothes I bought are the wrong size

Could be true, but I’m sure she’d have forgiven them a brief acknowledgment of her existence.

They have never denied her existence, they have been very open about the circumstances in which their child was conceived. I'm sure they thanked her in person and that they'll thank her publicly when the time is right, if she's agreeable.

They are two people who are clearly thrilled to become parents after a long wait to have their baby, let them have their moment.

I’m not stopping them have their moment. I’m trivially annoyed by the way they announced their moment.

Me! I skipped a queue today.

It was in a small shop with a weird layout and I didn't see the queue around the corner. Oops....

We got Sky Q today. The main box is fine but the Mini (second) box keeps connecting and disconnecting. I’m at a loss as to what to do to sort it out because I’ve done all the troubleshooting things that Sky has suggested

We got Sky Q in December a few weeks ago something happened to the hard drive and we lost all our recordings!

Sorry, I can't help with your issue.

I have given up on it for now, I’ve decided to blame the weather as that’s the only thing I can think of

When you’ve had a hectic day at work and you’ve been dreaming of a hot shower and an early night ..... only to find that your plans are ruined by (unwelcome) relatives who have invited themselves to your house for the evening.

I swear - I have an uncle and aunt in law who visit relatives so they don’t have to heat their own house or make supper

Where does fluff under the bed come from? I swear if I hoovered there everyday there would be more of it. There's only me using the room, but still all this fluff.

In my job there are two people who will send me an email then immediately get up from their desk, walk out of their office, leave the main office where they work and walk over to the other side of the building to the factory where I work just to tell me they sent me an email. Send me the email and I will see it or come over and tell me whatever you want to tell but why do both? I have long since given up asking them why, they just keep doing it. It's such a waste of time...... though maybe that's why they do it?

Noo

When drivers unfamiliar with a junction go slowly through the filter light. It's a 10 second filter, us regular commuters could get 30 cars around before that light goes red, but noooooo just you go through, the rest of us will sit and wait 5mins for it to go green again.

Phoning in somewhere and being on hold, where a pre recorded voice keeps telling me of the online options that are available. I want to speak to a human ffs. They make it as difficult as possible. Bank of Ireland, I’m talking about you. Vodafone, you ain’t much better.

I've a dose that won't just feck off and it's a bit annoying at this stage. It's not quite a flu ( well it is manflu ) but it's been two and a half weeks now and it's still lingering. It's the cough mainly that's annoying me.
