Other What's ruining your life right now?

funny you say that I used to work at codies b'ham back when they just acquired Swordfish, was an IT clown back then and got ousted when they moved the job over to southam without a pay increase, I wasn't willing to pull a 70 mile round trip a day for sub 20K, but I really liked the studio and would like to go back, Just got a msg back from the operations manager with some contacts including playground, but last time i looked at playground they were being anal with their requirements. but yeah im a petrol head and would like to work on car related stuff.

 

Skoda Superb estate - soooooo much space.

 

I'd take that as a win.

It does fry my nerves. Apparently i want to get everywhere tooooo early. No my dear, just on time...

 

With airports I'd rather spend an extra hour on the plane-side of security than be late.

I'm not rich enough for planes to wait for me before they depart.

 

The opossum is back. Confirmed a he, he's hiding under furniture in our junk room. Set a bucket of food out to see if we can tempt him out. Little ******* knocked over so much stuff.

 

Agreed. Oh, so agreed.

SWMBO has decreed that all clocks in the house must run 5 minutes fast, so she knows she has 5minutes to sort her sh*t out when she realises she should have left, but then keeps doing what she was doing for those 5 minutes anyway.

Add to that, that she estimates tasks at at about 50% (max) of their actual duration.

So likelihood of us being on time? hah. no. Not unless i speed...

And then if/when we do manage not to be late, its justification of her behaviour...

 

Airport beer is expensive as, but I'd rather have time for airport beer than be one of those headless chickens running for a flight they probably already missed.

I'm also not a fan of checked baggage, but that's because I don't trust someone paid poorly and probably under a lot of time pressure to be as careful with my things as I would.

 

Second that, Also my Passat is rather amusingly cavernous, not quite on the old Saabs standard but close.

Oh side not on the windows bong, simple way to turn if off, change the file. One of the guys here told me about a time they swapped the old winXP shutdown sound for an exert from an adult film, the victim would always use his laptop in the library speakers on full not caring when he shut down about annoying everyone with the shutdown music.
For those of you who don't remember XP wouldn't shut down till it completed the sound file...

Today's demote, two things. One I worked out on my "time off" in two weeks I get a grand total of three days of it to myself of the fourteen I'm taking, the mother unveiled her list of jobs.

And I had a mild panic attack in the carpark over coming to work. Mixture of hate and dread etc. Having to make sure I get to work early so I can deal with these as they are getting more frequent.

 

Same. Back in 2016, I invested in a carryon-sized backpack and some vacuum bags, because 1st leg of my trip was Ryanair Liverpool to Dublin to catch cheapo Dublin-LA flight for 2 weeks.
Vacuum bags for clothing are the trick.

 

Combination heatstroke and food poisoning. Spent the weekend sweating cobs despite 2 big fans going full blast, screaming headache, dehydration, the works. Had a nap at 5pm Sunday, woke up at 3am, spent the rest of the night on the bathroom floor. Not the cleverest thing I've done but still feeling pretty grim.

 

Looks more likely, it all suddenly splatted about a half hour ago, literally seems to have come back on now but itll probably fall over as everyone panic reconnects

 

You now need to be a business seller on eBay to buy 72mg nicotine.

Grrrrrrrr!

Any one know a way around this? Or do you need a vat number to register as a business?

 

God bless the nanny EU state.
