Random Irritations

[AmandaJR]

Applying for jobs. Constantly getting turned down by Tesco, for a role I'm already doing. Latest application is in for a role with the NHS for a role that I've done for 20+ years. Who thinks I'll get this one?

Not me. I'm convinced that it's an age thing.

Buyers market at the moment and I'm sure many are a case of who you know and possibly already filled but going through the motions of advertising it.

Keep going and don't give up.

The questioning and disrespect (imo) being shown to Captain, Sir, Tom so soon after his death.

Using a knife to slice up some cardboard to take to the skip at work. Got a bit enthusiastic, and cut a big slice out of my thumb. Stupid idiot. It'll be fine, but it's flipping inconvenient, throbbing, and messy. I'd like to think I will learn something, but I have done it before.

People imagining insults....where none were given.....

It's been a long time since I've had a bad cut......I guess I shouldn't say that out loud......

Absolutely disgraceful that NHS staff are being threatened over this assuming the protocols were followed;

I guess some people would rather the vaccines go to waste but they’ll probably moan about that too

BBC Breakfast again, it's a daily thing now, harassing guests on the show and asking the most ridiculous questions, just shut up Charlie you're making yourself sound stupid ?

classic. How many people do this? Working away thinking to themselves, this could hurt if i slip, (whilst using the wrong tool for the job), and then the screwdriver makes a hole in their hand.

My old mentor taught me...
Never cut towards your thumb, always cut towards your chum ?

Tesco must have weird policies. My wife was after part-time work a few years back and she applied. Failed the aptitude test (or whatever it was). They are after people with no common sense or ability to independently think for them selves and show initiative. So, if you can show your are that, you are a shoe in!

We sent the test around a group of our friends, none of us passed the criteria for even taking the application any further!

Sustainability- the new buzz word, but it’s taken as a fashion topic and PR story.
The main offenders are large industry. Especially the tech giants who use software and batteries- one drives in redundancy and the other generates environmental damage.
The other stat that keeps being raised, we use our car 4% of the time and it then sits still. But what journeys do we do that make up that 4%? My bet is a huge proportion of going to a workplace ... so who is driving in the environmental damage? Definitely not sustainable!

That does explain some of the staff I've encountered at my local Tesco Express.

There have been a couple this week who have bitten back - shame more of them don't.

Only ever seen You Tube clips from Twitter etc but have seen what the ITV version is like - surely Dan Walker can’t be worse than that ?

Always made me laugh when colleagues in the RAF. Used to say, when leaving the Service, ‘I’ll be happy stacking shelf’s in the local supermarket’. They were usually 40 year olds who were used to running a section or team and they reckoned they would be happy for a spotty 21 year old with a managers badge having a go at them for not lining up the labels on the tins. I don’t think so?
