Random Irritations

[rudebhoy]

Im having the same problem!
My wife came home yesterday with a new knee and is commanding operations from the settee.
So far today I have been asked to strip the bed, hoover the floors, steam the floors, fill the washing machine and turn it on and do the same with the dishwasher.
My biggest worry is that she now knows I can do those things. Decades of acting dumb down the pan!

The key here is to do all of the tasks willingly but badly. She will only be too glad to take them back on when she is fit.

Just spend the next few days providing evidence that you weren't actually acting.

"Shall we close the call there?"

Always someone with an absolute load of irrelevant nonsense that means no, we can't close the call there.

Always someone with an absolute load of irrelevant nonsense that means no, we can't close the call there.

Followed by "I've just got one more quick question or comment" - no you haven't - it's one that's going to go on for about 10 minutes and just wind everybody up.

Good call Rudebhoy and Rich.
I put my golfballs in with the bedsheets earlier. The sheets are now in the oven to dry, on low, of course, as a surprise when she wakes up. I'll wake her gently later by drying my golf balls in the tumble dryer.
Sorted

Being asked to do something which is not at all in my job description. How to politely tell my soon-to-be-line-manager (5th one this year) "I have absolutely no intention of doing that, no."

We had an ACP abmormal conditions payment.
So if a manager asked me to do anything outside my own job or section I got a £5 bonus.
For a long and complicated job it was negotiable
Worked very well

Finally getting the car washed after 8 weeks and about 4000miles of driving in horrendous conditions. On my way to the club in my nice clean car …

… SPLAT! The biggest bird crap hit the windscreen and must have been the size of a dinner plate!

What the hell are we feeding the dam birds!

Mines just got a new hip today.
But I have been doing those things for forty years.
The joys of shift work let me play golf as well

Dickie dickie flying high
Dropped his cargo from the sky
Farmer said wiping his eye
Thank goodness gracious cows can't fly.

Internet repeatedly dropping out.
It's probably okay around 60% of the time.
My landline has been faulty for about 4 weeks and the broadband is now starting to fail.
Engineer coming round tomorrow to, hopefully, sort it out ............................... unlike either of the two previous attempts.

On the other hand I do all the cooking and food shopping.

Well what ever it is, 1/8 (estimate) of my screen wash tank and two boiling kettles did not clear the brown stuff.

Again… WTF do these flying monsters eat!
