Other What's ruining your life right now?

To be fair, the situation was caused by a dead hooker.


Let me know if my cabin fever sense of humour starts getting too much

 

Not for me. But at Jimmy Carr gigs I'm usually the last one laughing when he starts ramping up the intensity of his jokes.

 

I had to visit the "outside" today as my fridge threw the dreaded "out of beer" error!

 

'Lack of beer' isn't life threatening enough to not get beer delivered - screw 'outside'.

 

...If you can find anywhere that'll deliver. A couple of local breweries are doing deliveries, but they're either really expensive or don't deliver to my part of town.

 

Purity Brewing deliver nationwide, a nice tipple it is.

I believe this conversation now needs to move to the 'awesome' thread

 

Add some to this week's shoppin'...

 

I had a liver disease when I was 3yo, I don't recall it but I've been told that I was closed to death, I've been saved but I I kept a liver's weakness, so I dodged drinking for my first 30 years, then I started to drink with a band of good friends I met, and it was great for the first years, no hangovers, just fun, until I started to feel the counter blows, after a few years, every time I was drunk, I was sick as hell every time I was drinking, my friends used to call me "the beast" because I had to throw out painfully screaming like a boar, so I stopped. I have to mention that I had other old addictions, but harmless ones IMO, since my teenages, I used "green leaves" to feel good, but nowdays it's like beeing a criminal, so I stopped it too, years ago, smoking only cigarettes, but at present, I stopped smoking too because I really dislike it, but, this is not possible anymore to find peace of mind on evenings, since covid started, I started to drink again, not a lot, just some wine for meals, and a few glasses of vodka during my long sleepless evenings, I can't sleep a wink since it started, I need something to vent, I will stop it if it ends, otherwise, I don't give a f...k, honestly I'll give a year of my life for a bag of w..d, but there is no way, so vodka helps me to sleep and be stressless, and hangovers are gone, so why not... if I wasn't single, I would not need it I think, but I am, actually, my plans to make my Filipina gf coming here are dead, I just do my best to make her survive, whatever will happen, in her country, this is worst than in ours, so I will be there for her, that's one of the things that keeps me fighting, I have no kids, no wife, no familly, just a house, my computers and her who needs me, but beeing helpfull for her keeps me alive, I don't care how people will judge me, this is what i am, I assume it, I am just a lost lonely soul in this crazy world, sorry to open my heart, I needed it may be...hope I won't be banned for saying what I feel, BT is one of the last place where I find peace of mind

 

Beer now > Beer eventually

 

working for 2 boses sucks, especially when they dont communicate between themselves and I get a chewing out from the person who didnt give the orders.

 

That's why you get all orders in writing, so when the **** hits the fan, you can be all "Let's you and him fight".

 

thankfully i have this but its still a **** experience being on the receiving end of it.

 

Modern management seems to be "scream first, never apologize".

 

My order from Scan is five days overdue. Attempts to contact them have been infuriating to say the least:

Live chat - 45 minutes then reset and put to back of queue
Phone - 20 minutes wait and then cut off
Service ticket - Copy pasta message

I understand they are running with a vastly depleted workforce at the moment, and we all have to be a little more patient, but it's still frustrating as hell.

 

Just heard I'm getting a salary cut. Don't know how much, somewhere between 5 and 15% and no bonuses for the next year.

 

Wait, what?

 

That sucks, sorry to hear it.

Same thing happened to my other half, but worse: it was a 40% pay cut. They protested that it would put a good chunk of the workforce below minimum wage, so hours were also cut by 40%.
