The grumpy thread

[Guest]

I'm in two minds whether or not to write a formal letter of complaint to the job agency. The more I think about this dismissal, the more I think it was done unfairly.

Seriously though, what would it achieve? They'll just think I'm a lunatic and bin the letter anyway.

 

I'm going to write and ask to be taken off their books anyway. Might leave out the draft that details exactly what I think of **** * and their professionalism.

I wouldn't bother. I'd wait until they send me another job and then not turn up. When they phone to ask why you're not there just let them know that this is for treating you like shit. Ha Ha!

Ah well, just cheered myself up by flambeing my ex work literature. I'd to extend my special thanks to messrs Bryant, May and Lynx (plus FATHA_WAT's chimnea) for making it all possible. Thanks for the post its, notebook and extra file you twatrags, they'll come in handy!

Not bidding enough against the 205 GTi I just failed to win on eBay, I luzzed a good snipe on, then bottled it and reduced the amount. It went for bastarding buttons.

What a cock.

I must be going mad....

 

Yesterday morning I dropped my mobile phone in the kitchen. As always, the back fell off and the battery fell out. I found the back cover but cannot find the battery...ANYWHERE! I crawled on my hands and knees for 20 minutes scouring every inch of the floor ...even looked inside the tumble dryer for chrissake...can I find it? No. Even got a torch and checked in the adjoining room to see if had bounced in there.

 

How can a largish phone battery just disappear? Looked again this morning. Nothing. Coat pockets on back of chair. Nothing. Drawers that were closed at the time. Nope! It's driving me nuts.....

 

 

Will this help?

how the hell did brian johnson get a job with ac/dc after that?

[eddyramrod]

Since I've just given them a mention on Mr Hatred's Cyprus thread: timeshare touts. In fact anyone and everyone connected with the loathsome bastards in any way whatsoever, except as victim or arresting officer. I hope they spend a lot of time in the company of that last group...

Norm, click the youtube link! Translations are available if necessary. As it happens I once lost a liggie somewhere on scotswood road. I may have been on the way to Blaydon at the time too.

I am not grumpy by the way. Even if it has just cost me £600 quid to get the chimney fixed, it's cheaper than waking up to find a pile of bricks and a pot on the bed....

Well, her future mother-in-law already looks like Rod Hull

To be fair, I suspect that Diana and Rod Hull look pretty much the same by now.....

[M'coli]

Except the Daily Mail don't run a Rod Hull's death conspiracy story on the front cover every week or so.

[scaryoldcortina]

Well they should. Emu was actually replaced by an MI6 agent sent by Bob Carolgees and the Krankees to foil Rod's comeback tour - the return of the king would have undermined the future of light entertainment and changed the balance of power forever, so they messed with his telly ariel and greased the ridge tiles.

In 2004, when the woman playing Wee Jimmy Krankie was badly injured in a fall during a performance in the pantomime Jack and the Beanstalk, the medical staff didn't know whether to take her to the geriatric or the paediatric ward...

Agent 99 was a flake.

Superb!

[Claypole]

Rod Hull would have been perfect for the digital switchover.

 

 

There's somebody at the door, there's somebody at the door, it's Rod he's taken a tumble trying to do his switchover...

Just finished writing my letter of complaint to the job agency. I received a back dated letter today which suggested that they wanted to give me the boot rather sooner than they let on.

 

I sent it to a professional manager friend for her appraisal, and she talked me out of sending it. She said it was 'deeply sarcastic and angry.'

^^I advise you, then, to find a job where you get compensated for being deeply sarcastic and angry. Do what you are good at, word. C'mon, you hated the place, hated the commute. They did you a favor. Move along, "this is not the job you are looking for".

 

As crap as it was, and as shite as the commute was, they still let me go for fuck all. What riles me the most was that things were obviously going wrong and no one had the decency to take me to one side and explain how they felt. If the strength of feeling towards me was that strong from the existing staff, they did a fucking remarkable job of suppressing it. Acting skills like that should have their form tread upon the boards.

 

Sack it, I might get some scran and post the letter up, then you might understand why I was so effed off with them in the first place.

 

Ultimately Norm, you're right. This is a blessing in disguise. It also leaves me more time to spend on my Uni work, and I got a free ringbinder, shorthand notebook and set of post it notes out of them. Small things but to a student they're the equivalent of curry to a pisshead. And I melted the worksheets they gave me with the aid of a chimnea and 3/4 of a can of deodorant. Very immature but hilariously good fun.

I got to sit in a traffic jam behind some prick in a Passat with rear fogs blazing

 

 

Also it's comic relief time, so a night of multi millionaires telling you to give your money away

Random foglight fhact, you can get a fine for leaving the rear fog lamp on when it isn't foggy, but not for not using it when it is.

 

Also, 60% of the cars I tested this week failed cos it didn't work.

 

Grumpy bit - Phone boxes.

 

I needed to make a call, I had left my mobile at home. I found a (very rare) phone box, even rarer it was working and not covered in vomit, rarer still I had several 10p's in my pocket. Unfortunately the minimum call fee is now 60p (and gives you 30 minutes) and I didn't have a maximum of 4 coins making up that amount, so I couldn't use it. Yeah, really. 60p, maximum 4 coins, so 20+20+20, 50+10, but not 20+10+10+10+10. Hey BT, this isn't the adventure game, and I don't want to stand in a doorless box on a windy street for half an hour anyway, I need to make a 30 second call to say "help, I've run out of petrol".

 

I walked back. It's only a mile or so.

The C4's are covered in filth. I should clean them, because there's actual fog outside.

Round here 'phone boxes are just temporary offices for smackheads.

Quite. Going over the M8 this evening, between Harthill and Newhouse, there's a bit of fog. Not the pea-souper that often envelops that road at this time of year. Just a bit of fog. So all the morons turn on their fogs, and sit 3.4" off the car in front, gesticulating about improper use of fogs.

It's a fine line between scary stupidity and hilarious stupidity - this managed both at once.
