Things you'd like to say, but can't

Get over it you lost again.

You really take Monopoly seriously in your house.

After all that rain yesterday there was still one stretch of road iced over. It was outside Arthur Scargill's house.

A 5% charge for using a credit card not issued by your sponsors? Isn't that illegal?*


* - no point getting into an argument with the polite, friendly and very busy minimum wager staffing the merch stand, but I have emailed her boss...

Sadly not illegal until next Jan

I thought that they were only allowed to charge what it costs them now, and the whole fees shenanigans was outlawed from next year?

I'm fairly sure that they don't pay a flat 5% transaction charge...

The terms & conditions from mastercard & visa say they can't charge you more for paying by card, rather than cash.

I've emailed them, but don't have a reply - a week later. Might be time for a trackable letter...

So no-one ordering the item queried why the line was cut off half way through a word.
No-one receiving the order queried why the line was cut off half way through a word.
The item has been delivered wrong and you will probably walk into a director's office this morning and try and get me the blame.

Strange that this hasn't happened in the previous 6 years, or been brought to my attention in 6 years, for something that we order 20,000 of a year.

Enjoy your 5 minutes of power.

 

[Maverick Goose]

In one breath you moan about not having enough money and in the next you moan about the fact that it costs you £900 a year to park your car in the public car park next to where you work.

Why not park a few hundred yards away for free and walk, or even, perish the thought, consider cycling the 5 or 6 miles to work?

£900 would buy you a pretty decent bike!

So. You're angry that there is a lack of end-to-end ownership being shown on these deliverables? You feel like those around you are not taking responsibility for the delivery. Yet you're the PM for this workstream, not him, not her, not him either, nor me. You have no defined final agreed and signed-off list of requirements. Your use cases aren't covered by the current service model, you've got no design, and anyway your solution doesn't need any new infra so why the **** are you bitchin' about me, in my ****in' earshot, to our SI who is the source of the dysfunctional cluelessness that has dogged us from day one with their "we just assumed we could use such-and-such for this" without declaring that assumption?

Flip me. You are still wittering on about this? It was made clear it is down to you. And you just can't get it over the line can you? Perhaps if you spent less time telling us all you are a colossus and more time building relationships someone would do you a favour. Me? Nah, I've got a hot date and I'm off home. So long, sucker.

You’ve not met my daughter have you?

Although it’s more likely a case of Dad being out of touch with what ‘the kids’ wear

We have some temps at work, two of them women in their 20s, yesterday one of them was showing the other how to do a "slut drop". I am old.

Pah! They have no idea

What do you mean 'what happens now?' you clocked in late so you lose 15 minutes, that is the rules. I did actually say that and was grumpy about it but it is the same rule for everyone.
