Just read a guy on a FB page say that it's ridiculous he was fined for only going 6km/h over the 60km/h speed limit and that police should be concentrating on robberies. Where do you even start with tubes like that? Train drivers should know better !! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mac.i Posted June 8, 2020 Share Posted June 8, 2020 Those and pigeons make a hell of a noise when you smack them at >75mphThe noise they make when they decide to sit on the Overhead Lines is rather impressive too...... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They just don't show the awkward conversation 15 minutes later when middle manager has to point out "you've only got 2 days of full sick pay left and hr says compassionate leave won't cover this so you'll have to take annual leave" 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bairnardo Posted June 9, 2020 Share Posted June 9, 2020 Every Friday morning in every workplace, this phrase gets mercilessly overused... "Morning. How's it going?" "Fine thanks. At least it's Friday!" Think of something else to say!!Next time try "Never mind, soon be Monday again". 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will safely tell you that you won't miss muchThat covers my approach as much as possible while working from home and you’re right. It’s a bit harder to do face to face for most the week. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually, the day of the week plays far too much of a part in these things, e.g. "Well it's Monday, you know what it's like" or "Friday the morra'" or the effervescent "It's Wednesday. Happy Hump Day!". Pffft 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So far though, it’s ignore them or ad-lib some of my best material with nothing to go in other than “morning”. Given these alternatives, I’ll probably stick with “least it’s Friday eh” when we return to office, and it’s Friday of course, for now. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I spent all day yesterday tracking down two testing kits and ignoring the backlog of awareness training which, although not my job, I offered to help out with and am now apparently solely responsible for, only to find that the People Hub haven't even identified the staff who will be subject to the fit testing, let alone sorted out their availability.

Up to you of course but now I've drawn your attention to it you might cringe a little. I suppose it's all part of the muzak that is banal conversation. Like WKR says, generally speaking when you ask someone how they are (another reflex utterance) no-one really wants to hear the opener "Wait til I tell ye....." 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
