Herself's Hyundai which has, thus far, been fault free has decided to develop a fault in the central locking...
And, one job I particularly dislike is removing door cards...
OSF door perchance?

Maybe not dream up, but I am sure if there wasn't a pandemic then news relating to the B word would be far more prevalent. There are some but generally have to go looking.
As we approach the end of the UK financial year I'm unfortunately expecting many stories around closures, downsizing etc.

Nepotism.
Work are in a favourable position to employ people en masse in this climate but keep employing sub standard staff or not the best that applied because they’re so and so’s relation of some kind.
Not sure I could hold my head up knowing I was given my job.

Fish & Chip shop phone orders.
Phone up to place order, and therefore minimise the amount of time in/near the shop. I get told 'ready in 15 mins'. So I arrive there 14.5 mins later. Not ready, and after waiting outside for 15 more mins, still not ready. Told them where to put their chips ...

It gets worse - it turns out nobody even told her that she was taking over from me on Monday. She was under impression it was over a month away! I've been talking to her all week assuming she knew. The communication is an absolute mess. It looks like she's now going to be landed looking after two projects at once - my manager is basically uncaring, he's just assured me that I'll be leaving that project as of Monday. I feel bad for the poor girl as she's being landed right in it.

And not just in the professions and white collar occupations.
Some of the car factories in the Midlands, printworkers in the old Fleet Street and some of the docks.
Almost impossible for someone to get into some of those unless you had a connection ?

Whenever I started a new job I made sure I knew who was connected to who before I passed any comment on anyone...
