Random Irritations

Mrs d had another hospital appointment today.
I’m supposed to be working while my step daughter has nothing to do today.
Guess who’s sat outside the hospital!
 
web. That may well be why ity looks so different. Though I am sure I used to use Office 365 Word and it looked different - pretty much as desktop Word has always looked - would I have been using a desktop Office 365 version of Word even though I know that Office 365 is cloud delivered (can you tell I just used Office and didn't think much about it :) )
It is entirely possible you were using the desktop version to edit documents saved in the cloud.

The web version is what I call Word Lite. Unfortunately I don't have much experience so can't offer any real advice.
 
I'll raise you, internal emails, but adding in numerous senior management (who have no relevance or need to be in the email), I assume in an attempt to either make themselves look clever/important? Not sure. Richard Heads the lot of them!

95% of emails I was cc’d in would see the title read and the first sentence or two, then binned. I didn’t employ people and then get involved in their job. If they needed help, all they had to do was ask. And if they needed help, the email would have been addressed to me too. I was busy enough without doing their job for them.

I've simply given up on reading emails in to which I'm CC'd. They are filtered into a folder where they go to die.

I've taken a similar attitude to meeting invites. If I'm not on the required list, its and instant decline. If I'm on the required list and there is no agenda or stated purpose for the meeting, it too will get an instant decline.

I'm trying to only look at emails first thing in the morning and first thing after lunch.

If something is important, ring me.

I’ll raise you anything coming from someone representing the social committee.
 
Piers Morgan having a go at a young 18 year old tennis player about her “mental and physical strength” and then the backstabbing Kevin Pietersen jumping in as well

Not seen it but sound utter gits. I so hope she recovers from this and it doesn't impact her potential. Marcus Rashford sent her a lovely message - his football is pants but he's a really nice guy!

Really, really poor. You can question a professional at a certain point but this girl is 18 and new to the spotlight. Far too young and vulnerable to be spoken about in that way. It's cheap. I'd say the people doing this need to look at themselves but .........look who they are.
 
Pietersen has replied and said that he wasn't talking about the tennis player. The tweet he responded to was about mental toughness and didn't mention the tennis or the player. Possibly just trying to cover his own behind.

He has to have been aware of the context of the conversation though and all that his comments would imply. I'm with @BiMGuy here.

No idea. He claims to have been on the golf course all day yesterday and wasn't aware of what had happened in the tennis or what Moron was going on about. I guess it's a question of whether you believe him or not and I'm not sure I do.

EDIT - I like the fact that autocorrect changed Morgan to Moron so I think I'll leave it. See @Piece just as I was saying in the predictions thread, it's all autocorrects fault.
 
Lass has been unhappy with her new job of 10 weeks after being unhappy wfh and moved to an office based role.

This evening it was the daily whinge that I’ve put up with since and I said quit if your not enjoying it, never did me any harm and I never stayed long at places that I didn’t enjoy.
Just popped out to the car and I received a text alerting me she has actually quit. Via email.

I didn’t mean quit immediately.

My mail tip says exactly your last point, nothing more infuriating than a phone call asking if I've seen their urgent email, if it's urgent, call me! I tend to only check email first thing and last thing.

The same with text messages, the number of 'important' messages I get by text is ridiculous, I'm not sat monitoring my phone for heavens sake, phone me!
 
Social media questioning where home is, and whether or not it is actually coming home.

It is coming home, Atomic Kitten told me.
 
Social media questioning where home is...

Speaking of which..
Every app getting my home location wrong. We live at the end of a close, I have a feeling everyone on the road has the same post code, but even with our house number in it locates us halfway up the road. Every time I'm in an Uber I have to tell him to keep going, every Deliveroo driver is ringing us asking where it is. I wonder if there's a way to use co-ordinates instead!?

What3words? - many of my sites are in remote countryside areas where a postcode covers a fairly large area, since starting to use what3words there have been far fewer 'lost' delivery drivers.

I don't think there's a facility to use that for your saved address in Uber, Deliveroo etc though is there? Or is there?
