The grumpy thread

[bub2006]

I plan to when im home.

[DodgeRover]

If they bounced you are behind in the payment plan, ring and tell them

[DodgeRover]

Anyway today's grump, fox poo and dogs, why do they love to roll in the stuff, foxes aren't natural prey so they don't need to sneak up by hiding their scent, they aren't big and scary so why try to smell like one.

Puppy has been showered and is clean again for a little while.

 

Off to the Doctor about the Tramadol later.

My dog does that too.

 

She loves a bath/shower as well, so I half wonder if she does it to get a shower when she gets home.

[DodgeRover]

Luckily she doesn't mind getting showered, although she isn't too happy! Our last dog hated it to the point we had to give up as we thought she would hurt herself.

Fucking tumble dryer died now. No garden to hang clothes out in either means my work tunic is going to be extremely difficult to wash. Fuck it

Whack the heating up and stick it on a rad.

[bub2006]

Washing the auld mans car earlier, noticed one of the wheel nuts was missing, so sent him down the local Ford stealer for a new one, £5.17 for 1 fucking wheel nut!

[AlabamaShrimp]

Haven't seen my mate for a while as he's been having trouble with his wife and she's been really ill after having a baby.

 

The bitch has decided she doesn't love him anymore and he's moved out. They've only just got back together after years of her being a twat getting knocked about by one bloke and knocked up by another. My mate has been around for their daughter and they tried again, him even taking on care for the baby that's not his. He did everything for her when she was really sick in the hospital and now, while on holiday she said it was over.

 

He's not a bad person and has done more than a lot of others would yet she still wants to act like she's 20odd and go out all the time, proper bastard.

[davidfowler2000]

Decided that seeing it's the 5 year anniversary of having the Volvo I'd give it it's first run to my current place of work.

 

 

Then the cunt decides to turn but not fire at the back of midnight when it's home time.

Add a 0 on to the end of that figure and you have my new quote for the Civic... From £600 for three cars to £600 for one. FML.

[Lankytim]

Had a phone call last night cancelling my shift for today, they'd "overestimated demand" apparently. Not sure why their mistake becomes my problem but there you go.

 

Fortunately it was enough notice to find alternative work.

 

If these jokers cancel me at short notice again I'm declining all future bookings. Arseholes.

[hennabm]

Is it me?

Last night my desktop took a download of an update for Windows 10. Didn't have a choice in this, it just did it.

 

Anyway went to it this morning and it will not open Microsoft edge.

 

Thanks a f**** lot Microsoft.

 

Turned it of and let it sulk until I can spare more time.

[The Moog]

Someone from Australia decided they desperately needed me at 2 am.

 

I don't know anyone from Australia. Plus if I don't answer.

.. don't keep ringing you knob.

It wasn't me, I swear!

 

That's 9-11AM Aussie time depending where they were

[The Moog]

At 2am AST (Accrington Standard Time) it was a little annoying.

 

I will accept your apologies on behalf of your country

Edge is dreadful, they've done you a massive favour.

To add piss to shit, I've been told I'm not eligible for a load of backpay that I think I'm owed.

 

As mentioned, I got binned off from another long term contract I was on a month or so ago. At the time a pay rise was in negotiation and although it was meant to come in for 1st April they missed the deadline and promised to backdate it. The pay rise eventually came into force a week after I left.

 

My argument is that as the pay rise was supposed to come into force on the 1st of April and has been back dated to that day I should get the back dated pay increase. It's not my fault they took so long sorting it out. Of course they say that As I don't work there anymore I can FRO.

 

This is all via an agency, who I really don't trust and I wouldn't be surprised if they've received the back pay and have decided to keep it.

 

It's wall to wall wankers in this industry.

[Louise2cv]

Flipping heck Tim. Can't imagine how stressful this must be

 

Hope things start picking up for you soon.

[chaseracer]

Talk to ACAS re. a grievance.

Had a vesta beef curry last night.

Big mistake.

My guts are now like Krakatoa.

The UK job market is bringing me deep joy at the moment. Before I left to go on my travels I had no problems finding work, I can breathe with my mouth closed and write my own name and everything. Now that I'm back for a while and in urgent need of an income it's proving nigh on impossible to even get a response, never mind actual work. At this rate I might have to go back on the game.

[Supernaut]

It's wall to wall wankers in agencies in any industry.

FTFY. I just completely ignore agencies cold-calling me with the old "We found your CV online and have a role suitable for you" bullshit.

 

Every single time, without fail, they've over-sold me to the client, and over-sold the role to me, resulting in both parties wasting their time. Wankers indeed.

You can even forget making any money at that now according to a friend they gave up long ago as they were being undercut by foreigners and threatened by the folks they were working for.

 

Edit just to add it really was a friend I would starve if I tried to make money that way with my looks.

[Supernaut]

Being undercut by foreigners? I thought Brexit was going to fix that!

 

I also notice that Firefox now sees Brexit as an actual word and doesn't mark it as a typo. Oh dear.
