You know what really grinds my gears?

I found calling these

and putting in a few of these

to be an efficient way of dealing with people blocking me in. :henry2:

Suddenly it all makes sense.

When your listening to a good song on your headphones as you approach home and you have the dilemma of walking around the block or switching it off.

Walking around the block always. Life is too short not to listen to a big tune you like.

Not just me then.

My house isn’t a music free zone, so I’d just go back into my house and still listen to the song I like.

Waiting at the doctors, every time I go I’m reminded as to why I try and avoid it at all costs.

At least you have the option to go to the doctor’s. My surgery have been fobbing everyone off for a year. “If you ring another 12 times, we might allow a Zoom appointment”.

I called my doctors the other day for a repeat prescription of some medication I use to treat my scalp psoriasis when it has random flare ups. The woman basically said they can’t give me the prescription again until the doctor reviews it and when I asked about an appointment she said they had no availability for at least the next two months.

I just went online and used the online services and ended up having to pay £21 for it.

Covid has given GPs an excuse to be even more useless.

Yeah GPs have come out of this terrible. A degree of common sense has never been addressed during any of this on simple matters.

Just been notified by work today that it’s highly unlikely we’ll be getting any pay increase this year despite working with double the work load for most of the year to compensate for losing a lot of members of staff and not being able to afford replacing them.

But then it turns out that we’ve got three consultants on board from a major auditing firm who are being paid £27,000 a week between the three of them to help introduce a new performance management system that involves fucking scorecards on Excel (scorecards. Fucking scorecards). A mood board (I have to click an emoji that sums up my mood every morning.) and a thank you system to other members of staff who have helped us.

So in two weeks, these three consultants will eclipse most peoples annual wage all because they built us a scorecard on Excel and introduced a fucking mood board.

I’m livid. I’ve been working like a dog all year under the premise that work are stretched for money yet they’ve somehow managed to find £600,000+ to pay three consultants for 6 months. And the project is, unsurprisingly, apparently overrunning and likely to be extended by 3 months.

Nearly £1m by the end of this project with no visual improvement in performance across the organisation and no pay rise for the people who’ve been working like dogs and spending our own money on home working equipment.

Totally agree, some people get a dog without thinking that they have to train it or that they can just let it of the lead whenever they wish.

Horrible story that could’ve been rkevented with owners that weren’t useless.

So many shitty dog owners out there

The newest version of Outlook on my new work laptop.

Spell checks are great but it now seems to offer critiques on the quality of your writing. I got a squiggly line under part of a sentence and it said “overused expressions lessen the impact of your writing”

Getting fucking dragged by Outlook for the originality of my writing is not something I asked for. Cheeky fucking cunt.
