    Reddits great. Up there with transfermarkt for best website ever.

    In terms of being an online treasure trove of niche information curated by a bunch of freaks it's second only to 4chan.

    Anything would be better. Though are you under the impression that you don’t already come across as moany?

    Even if you stopped being such a know-all it would go a long way. Especially when all you know is how to disagree with the majority.

    And Reddit is a load of unrelated posts that don't need to be? I'm not much fussed by it either, but this seems a strange reason for it.

    I think it would be incredibly boring if this place was just everyone chin stroking to the same old shite. I mean that's mostly what it is, but my favourite posts are when someone posts something that I hadn't thought of or seen elsewhere.

    If I come off as a contrarian, it's probably because I am a bit of one, but I also don't see the point in posting if it's to say the same thing as someone else.

    One of the best posts on this forum was Giggles calling somebody a boring contrarian. I trust his verdict.

    I did this when my daughter was a baby. It was amazing. I only went back to 5 days when I changed jobs and had no choice.

    It wouldn't be Sunday morning without Giggles having a go at anybody who dares to post. Phonics will wake up soon to join in, and then they'll bump into each other for half a page of shit.

    If the membership is more contrarian than average, and it also mocks Giggles for his tastes/opinions (lol pasta lol), then he must be the least contrarian amongst us.

    Giggles , you have a weird mix of having quite idiosyncratic perspectives on things, while having a very no-nonsense telling it like it is personality. I'm not sure it's being contrary, as much as you genuinely reckoning that you're usually just saying what everyone else is thinking deep down, and people are just full of shit. The "nobody does any work at home" thing felt less like you were on the windup, more that cus you wouldn't do any work at home, you just think deep down anyone else would be the same and they're lying if they say otherwise. To be clear, I still enjoy reading your posts, even if you think I'm a twat.

    I think partly it's an age thing - my mum has gotten to the point that there's basically no difference between her opinions on things and what she considers to be objective truth. Same with my dad.

    I've just found out that for the last 3 months all the letters I've sent have been sat on "held". Consequently people have been booked to court without having been served their paperwork and every hearing from within that time span will have to be cancelled.

    My manager is going to murder out IT bod responsible. Apparently he didn't know what the 80 plus email notifications he had received meant so he was sitting on them until he could speak to someone about it. I reckon "this letter is being held" is pretty self explanatory fella. Fuck sake.

    We turned up this morning and the office shredder had simply disappeared, leaving only some pressed carpet in its wake. We asked where it had gone, and the answer was: "Accounts took it upstairs last night, they need an extra shredder on a short-term basis".

    Sounds legit.

    I genuinely don't understand people who do that shit.

    When my cousin was a teenager, she told me a little anecdote about how she someone asked her if she knew where Jamaica was. She replied Africa, which is wrong, and everyone had a laugh together. I asked her where Jamaica was, and she guessed South America.

    In her defence, she can tell you the name and location of every single Olympic Games because she was interested in them for a little bit.

    She's a little bit autistic.

    Hiya. how are things? For the Pharmacy Quesionnare, where can I find what NW, WA, CP PP etc means

    [15:02] Baz
    Hi Rachel. Not bad thanks. Here are the definitions:
    CP - Currently providing NHS funded service
    WA - Willing and able to provide if commissioned
    PP - Currently providing company led/private service
    NW - Not willing or able to provide service

    [15:03] Baz
    How's it been going?

    [15:05] Rachel
    Do you know what this means 'Smoke cess counc'

    [15:05] Rachel
    Im starting to feel a bit overwhelmed with the deadline closing in to be honest

    [15:07] Baz
    It'll be the smoking cessation counselling. Smoking cessation consists of intermediate (3-10 minutes) or intensive counselling (greater than 10 minutes). We stopped commissioning the intermediate service and now only commissions the nicotine replacement therapy (NRT) vouchers, such as gum, spray or patches.

    [15:08] Baz
    I think the good thing is everyone knew the deadline seemed very hard to achieve, so any lateness shouldn't be too much of a problem

    [15:08] Rachel
    Okay. You might be better updating that section then if you have time on smoking cessation

    [15:10] Baz
    Unfortunately I'm really busy with the contracts register at the moment and struggling to find time to fit anything else in, especially after 3 weeks off.


    Er no, Rachel.

    This is someone from agency who is literally paid twice as much as me to do god knows what.

    I've joined our weekly team call again this week and it's pretty funny agreeing to do things which I have no intention of doing.

    "Can you have a look at the SharePoint to make sure it's easy to navigate when you leave"
    Sure, I'll do that.

    "Let's have some time scheduled to do handover stuff"
    Yeah, my diary is free. Go for it.

    Handover is class sometimes. Upstairs in the aforementioned Accounts department, which is basically some part of Dante's Inferno at this point, someone announced their resignation a few months back. Their replacement was brought in so that the old employee had a week to show them the ropes. The old (disgruntled) employee told the new one what a shitshow the department was, and the new employee immediately resigned after a day and a half, before the old one had even left.

    Rachel is on twice as much to do exactly that, delegate. It's a magnificent skill to have in a workplace where roles and responsibilities are vague enough to be able to avoid the refusals.

    If Rachel is good at (a) understanding the material requiring delegating, (b) identifying the appropriate person to do the task, and (c) managing the timelines and workflows of all those people, then she deserves to make twice as much if and only if her role in the company is to manage a unit or project.

    It's way more difficult to be a juggler than to be a monkey.

    If Rachel is fobbing off her own work to others because she can't be bothered to do it herself, though, then she sucks.

    What do they need the shredder for if the fire's already going?

    The new starter I'm training tomorrow is only here because a previous hire was booted out within days. I don't know the details but that usually happens when they're completely shit with computers.
