Same. Meant to be this afternoon. We're getting extremely close to 5 and I've got a sneaking suspicion it won't happen and I won't be getting one tomorrow either.

Couple passed by with what looked very much like a polecat on a lead.

The grump being that there are three cameras in the room but the phone was closest.

And refused to take any photo's.  Stupid thing.  Not the first time it has done it either.

I have a recurring dream where some rare / weird / wonderful car drives past and my phone flatly refuses to take a photo of it.  Always ends up with me losing my shit big time and smashing the fuck out of the phone - something that I would never do whilst awake.

Dear so-called employer,

If you advertise a job at circa 30k then tell people right at the end of the application that 'probation' lasts for six months and is on minimum wage, you *cannot* expect me to be OK with that.

That needs to be declared *front row and centre* before anyone else wastes their time.

Oh, your sad little staff trying to defend it.
By the way, I don't believe you when you say that no-one else had a problem with it. Gaslighting alarm on blaze. 

Thanks for giving me false hope.

Withdrawn.

(PS: if any right on management types feel like trying to justify this, I am merely making a statement. I don't need your po-faced exposition, because I'll probably tell you to fuck off. Neither of us want that, so kindly refrain). 

Kin 'ell Jon, which company was this?

Someone who gets it, praise be. 

It's an unregulated piss take.

I got a wisdom tooth extraction along with the molar next to it on my birthday once. Got stitches in my gum and some heavy duty prescription painkillers which I wired into as soon as I got home.
Felt pretty sorry for myself until my mate turned up with a bottle of Laphroaig which went splendidly with the codeine.

Early morning job in a boiling hot factory, using a cloth to wipe the sweat off your face then finding out the cloth had wet black silicone on it, an hour later……
