Visiting my grandad in the home he's been sent to by the hospital

Just horrible

Begged nan to take him home (she can't) told her she didn't love him if she left him there (doesn't mean it ofc)

Then asked me to go get him a knife from the kitchen if he can't go home

Safe to say it was a horrible visit and horrible to see him like that.

Sorry to hear... hopefully there is a way forward.

Online mandatory training. I have bloody four of them to do today. All pointless rubbish. One of them I just completed and it didn't even record me having completed it so I'm clicking through it for a second time. :mad:

I’m currently sat writing some mandatory training. Which I know many people will take the same attitude to as you have here.

Funny thing is. Most of the people who need it are the ones that think they don’t. But they are the ones costing us a lot of money because they think they know better.

Fortunately I'm now retired so don't have to suffer this any more.
It used to be that our training modules had a test at the end, and since everything was plain common sense, you could just skip to the test and be done with it.
Then they got wise to that and configured things so you had to actually plough through all the utterly obvious stuff that only an ameoba wouldn't already know.

Exactly - can't skip pages until the video has finished playing each time, so I leave it running on mute. Ping through the questions at the end with gems such as "so-and-so offers you a bribe, should you, A. take it and tell no one, B. report it to your line manager".

When ever I eventually get round to doing the nonsense you provide I sit back and think “someone is being paid for this, what a waste!” It’s you!!

The paranoidal feeling that I will be made redundant… in the worst possible economic s*itstorm that is brewing ..

The TT races.
My dad was a biker, went to the TT races every year without fail until he passed, my uncle (his twin brother) still goes.
Never got the bike bug myself but seeing yet another death it just seems crazy that this is still allowed to continue year after year.

I was thinking the same yesterday. I think there have been 3 deaths so far this year. ?
