Random Irritations

Doubly annoying when it's your own contractors and there's more than a suspicion that it wasn't accidental :mad:
Oh yes

But even worse when it’s the water board or electricity companies - they seem to be the worst at making a complete mess of fibre runs

Don't forget, you too will be a pensioner one day. ?
Maybe.

If you re-read the post I was responding to, you’ll realise I wasn’t the one who thinks pensioners should be on P plates. And that isn’t the reason I was laughing.

OK, fair point. But the reason I posted is because you often have a dig at the older generation.

I subscribe to the Telegraph on line, currently at £8.67 per month. I received an email stating that the subscription is to be increased by £4.32 per month - 50% increase. I decided to cancel based on that large jump in price. Had to ring them this morning to action the cancellation. Informed them that as a pensioner money has to be monitored and the increase is not one I wished to support. They offered me a 6 month subscription at £4 per month which I accepted. Great!

Just received an unsolicited email from the Telegraph Financial Services offering me an equity release - coincidence?

i was due to have 2 zoom interviews today but after about 2 hours sleep last night I asked the recruiter if they could re-arrange them for me. after initially "respectfully requesting" they go ahead I said that I don't feel that I would do myself justice.

they have just emailed saying the interviews could not be re-arranged and that they no longer feel they can represent me.

i get that it isn't ideal but at the end of the day if they went ahead and i didn't come across as professional/tired and irritated then it wouldn't make them look good either

In all fairness, I'd tell you to jog on too.

Having to do a long and boring task, which you know will only lead to more long and boring tasks down the line as well. :cautious:

Had a teams meeting about one of the projects I've been given to see the system and get a feel for what needs to be done in this initial audit/testing phase. Ninety minutes later and more confused than ever and more work to do than envisaged in stage one

Driver on 2-lane roundabout, signalling to go right, crosses both lanes and turns left at second exit. Indicator still flashing 'right'.

Several people needing a change of underwear :mad::mad:
