That would be this week, would it not? Much easier to say by 24th September, surely? Just noticed that the calendar on my phone has the week numbers on it! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My last job operated on week numbers, and the thing that mystified me was that we'd hit Week 52 and would try to roll over to Week 1, only to be told "no, make this one Week 53". We had a Week 54 once. When I got back to work after lockdown, I'd no idea where we were in the business' year, so I asked a few different people in different departments (that hadn't been furloughed) and got three different answers. So, accuracy was clearly important. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BFTD Posted September 26, 2021 Share Posted September 26, 2021 I just saw Jaws in the cinema and some creature in my row talked all the way through Quint's Indianapolis monologue. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BFTD Posted September 27, 2021 Share Posted September 27, 2021 Trying to work out why I've lost the ability to send text messages this morning. In the process, I've clicked the wrong thing on the Vodafone website, and I've actually turned off the ability to send/receive text messages. Me being a fud isn't why I'm fuming though. It's that the option to turn text messages back on again is now greyed out, so I'll need to contact their customer support. Then, once texting is switched on again, I'll have to explain to them that, before I fucked this up, texting wasn't working for me anyway, and I guarantee it'll take an age to get them past "of course if wasn't, you turned it off, you fud". 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
