Was at the first meeting of a new working group at work today. The Chair of the meeting, when beginning the "let's do a round table of who we all are", gave her name, then her pronouns, and then her job title.

Get this pronoun shite to f**k.

If her name was The Chair, how were we to know her pronouns?

had our post xmas meal last night.  Revisiting a curry house we'd been to a few years previous.  Even though i had been there the last time I had missed the funny moment when one of the guys was talking about the Chilli Paneer he ordered, and refered to it as Chilli Vaneer....

So during the meeting during the day, talk turns to the place we are going:

"remember richard, when you had your chilli VANEER"

Then its explained to the people that hadn't been there last time that this bloke had said Vaneer in stead of Paneer....

then, as we were finishing the meeting  some cad come out with "cant wait for some chilli VANEER tonight"....ok yep get the picture...

then in the pub before the meal..someone comes out with  "hope they have some chilli VANEER on the menu"

then in the place folk looking at the menu, about three of them, at differnet times say "might have the chilli VANEER"

I mean it wasnt funny the first time but table laughing every time its mentioned. I'm sat thinking if i had machine gun then they'd all get it.

 

Told the wife about it when i got home..she responded with "jeez, let folk have a laugh you grumpy c*nt" .  Guess I just wasnt made for these times.

 

It gets vaneer and vaneer the more I hear it.

We've got a woman who has been complaining about the aircon being too cold so yesterday she moved to the next desk (I know) to see if there was any improvement. She's (unsurprisingly) still moaning about it today but she moved to another desk with nobody within thirty feet of her. She's been wrapped up like she's in the arctic for weeks now. I'm finding it hilarious because she's a horrible immature middle aged woman.

She moved to another desk today with no success. I think she's going to keep moving until she finds the perfect desk. Tbf, there are plenty around so this could go on for a wee while.

Union basically said I have no rights as I’ve only been there 9 months, still, pissed off at a 30 second phone call saying it’s no working out cause I phoned in sick...

Bright side, I’ve an interview working nights in a rehab centre. I worked in care during my first couple of years in uni after leaving the prison so feel like this is a good chance to use those skills learnt from both.

Really, that's very shitty of them. Surely it's an unfair dismissal? 

 

I left PCS because the members re elected the CEO on 120k a year on 18% turn out - I'm done with them utterly hopeless.

Its chilli inside, its chilli outside. It's a regular fuckin' chilli fest.

Aye mate I was a warder no a con just now looking at anything that comes up, can’t plan too far ahead as I’m waiting to find out the outcome of my PGDE interview, and as teaching is my first choice I can’t really start pressing onto anything else until the Uni’s have got back to me.

Was also gonna ask what @FalkirkBairn93 did, disappointing.

[microdave 1,480]

The desk mover hit a new height of ineptitude this morning. We have a couple of PCs that all the staff use so they have generic passwords. One of them changed this morning and was written on the top of the hard drive which we should check if an incorrect password is inputted. She didn't bother to check after the first wrong password and kept blundering on and was locked out after the third attempt. She then phoned the helpdesk telling them on four different occasions that it was a "genetic" password and was eventually given a new password which she fucked up at the first time of asking and was locked out again. I've no idea how someone that stupid can function as a human being.

Basic computer skills should be easily picked up by anyone. Being unable to remember and type a password is like being unable to use a knife and fork.

Boy at my work has a spaghetti carbonara microwave meal from m and s every single day for lunch. Also the kind to throw around 50 quid bets. Its just not a good way to live.
