Random Irritations

Due to the new system we use at work being :poop: a report that used to take me about 10 minutes in the old system is taking me an hour to even figure out how to do it. Why do people change things?? The old system worked, this one is painful.

This. We have been forced to use a new system at work which most of us consider so unfit for purpose it is a joke compared with the previous one. But it was forced in despite protest. Our work relies on us being a team & works best when we are largely in the same office. So why force it in when we are all working from home?

I'd name the guilty party but we are not allowed to anymore...

Next door and their builders
My daughter's pre school
My wife

Next door are mental..getting a new driveway but moving soon apparently.. their drive is perfectly serviceable ... But getting it done as don't want to put off buyers.. crazy talk. Anyways their builders block the shared drive..my neighbour is oblivious as she doesn't drive. Doesn't understand that we can't get off with the shared drive blocked but they can because they have extra entrance

Onto pre school

We paid in June for uniform. It hasn't arrived and they no record of our order by looks. Yet my daughter's friend ordered in August and it arrived ..

Brings me onto another one with them but also my wife , they told us upping her to afternoons won't be an issue just do by Oct

So we asked today their basically full.. so prob won't get the just 2 full days we want .. ffs which is My wife all over .. didn't want to do it back then cus it's her little darling but now is fine

If we hadn't dithered we could have had our pick!!! Goodness sake dear we knew we were having twins why would you want a 3 year old running around same time if you can get free childcare that she enjoys!!!!

My irritation is from the other side of the fence to you chaps, I've been asked to jump in and direct a failing project to introduce a new system, and all I've heard this morning are excuses as to why teams aren't ready.
 
Camper van drivers, well the ones who get in the wrong lane, don't indicate and then almost take you out.... and then turn into a one way street that is already full of cars coming the right way:rolleyes:

Idiots in the clubhouse where masks are compulsory to move around and only allowed off if you are sitting down to drink/eat. So many jokers/idiots coming in off the patio saying we're only walking 10 feet to the bar. Point is the rules are there for a reason. Abide by them. It's for all out benefit in the long run

multiply that by the number of people who don't play golf and have ignored the rules and now we are where we are....AGAIN !!!!!!
 
Went to Waitrose on the way home for some bananas and nuts for my golf bag over the weekend. It's started. Everyone has a large pack of toilet roll, no eggs, no rice and pasta shelf decimated and not even a hint of an announcement for a few weeks as I imagine they'll try and persevere with local lockdowns until half term at the earliest

On the new driveway ... there is a logic to their ‘madness’ called ‘kerb appeal’. First impressions and all that plus anything a prospective buyer can state as ‘needing done’ will give them reason for offering below your asking price - and they will estimate their cost well in excess of the actual cost of getting it done. So your neighbours are just clearing that out of the way...?

I still say they are mental

The house is freshly rendered 3 years ago with k render

The inside is constantly painted and looks brilliant

Extended out front for downstairs shower 3 years ago

If anything id get the broken garage door replacing over a drive that was serviceable he had patch repaired it a couple times (3 years old) which held it well

Does look like they are least repairing cheaply. Using the same outter bricks and step

I still say they won't move. They said over a year ago their moving

Always an excuse ... Now their eldest is going into gcse year so another reason not to

I think it's just a pipe dream
 
Getting a letter from my pension company that said words to the effect of "in a few days we're going to send you a letter. please read it".

Glad to see the charges on the pension fund are being spent in a good cause.
 
My foot has been in some pain for most of the week and had a telephone appointment with a GP yesterday. My self diagnosis was a tendon strain, but was told that it’s probably gout ☹️
 
Seeing that bunch of football morons on TV yesterday hanging together outside the training ground as Gareth Bale returned. Not a mask or brain cell between them.

It's pretty standard though - the people that bring these systems into a company are usually people that have never used them or ever done the job, so they don't have to suffer through the pain
