Random Irritations

Time do you knock off at?
Currently working 6.00am-3.00pm with 30 minutes for lunch. Won't be knocking off until well gone 4.00 tomorrow. To be fair I can get out early some days if I want to get to the club by 4.00 so not all doom and gloom. Got a feeling the next few weeks will see the hours crank up again but it is what it is. Happy with my job which is good and also very appreciative I have a job at all especially on full pay so not going to moan. It was a bit of a tongue in cheek comment

Yeh, part-timers, I manage as far away as Israel, then HQ is in Seattle, so my day can start at 5/6 AM and I can be on calls at 11 PM some days. Not that I work the whole way through! Oh, and Israel starts their working week on a Sunday too!! Not that I do much more than ignoring calls and emails! :ROFLMAO:

Yeah, I feel your pain. I start with calls with Hong Kong and Shanghai and then end the day about 14 hours later with Rio and Mexico City. Didn't start out as bad as this but it just became easy for folk to phone when it suits them
 
Both my adductor muscles absolutely ruined after football on Sunday! Tried going for a little run last night to run it off but it hasn't helped. :cry:
 
Item bought Monday evening, dropped off by seller Tuesday, supposed to be delivered Thursday or Friday. Last tracking entry, entered the Hermes network at 8.15pm on Tuesday & no update since.

This one's apparently on its way to the courier today, a week on.

However I've just checked the tracking on one I received yesterday; left securely in outbuilding at 3.14pm.

Behind the wheelie bins outside the front of the house is not securely in an outbuilding (and they've attached a photograph to prove where it was in the email). And at 3.14pm both Mrs. BiM & I were in the house so why not ring the doorbell?

I get up half an hour before I go to bed to do a Zoom call. Work 27 hours a day and pay Zoom owner £1,000 per month for the privilege of doing so. I do my Zoom calls from a cardboard box at the bottom of lake and have to lick hot gravel off road before I start.

Luxury ?
 
the scum that though it was all right to empty the contents of the toilet of their campervan/ caravan onto the drain in the layby for the canal by the swing bridge over the A82... only they missed it as left turds and bog roll all over the road
 
The internet was off at work for 3 hours today. I eventually rang the provider and they told me to switch the router off and then on. As a fan of the I.T. Crowd it was mortifying to discover this did the job :(. The shame, I could practically hear them laughing.

Basic router first aid
Should be an immediate action drill as soon as it goes down ?
 
The idiot parked next to me at the golf club. I came out of the club house, to find him struggling to get his cart bag onto the back seat of his SUV, without bashing his door, or bag into the side of my car. The bag was certainly squashed up against my door.
Hang on a moment, I will move it. Oh, thanks, I am really struggling here.

Why not fire it up, reverse it back a few feet, bung your bag in, pull it forwards, sorted. Minimal fuss, bother, damage, what ever.

Story of my life. No matter where I park making sure I have enough clearance on the passenger side to put my clubs in some numpty parks badly next to me. Because I care about my car I do as you suggest but sometimes wonder how the fat git got out without damaging my car.

Just read that back and reads like you're the fat git numpty badly parking next to me :oops::oops::oops:
