My stomach doesn't know what time it is. I had breakfast at 0500 GMT and lunch at 1100 CET but I'm not getting dinner til 1900 CET. I'm starving and trying really hard not to raid the minibar fattisnacks.

Will whoever ordered cold misty drizzle with a side order of head-wind-up-the-hill for this morning please stand up. I want to throw rocks at you

I'm not one to grass, but I think it was that errant sergeant/corporal...

Guy · « **Reply #3004 on:** 20 February, 2013, 10:06:06 am »

Don't think it was him. He's in enough trouble already. Somebody* "accidentally" let slip that a Major from Army Legal Service has made an appointment to see our Colonel on monday.

*Nowt to do with the only cyclist in the office, honest guv

Well have to make that corridor wider. I've just been run over by a badly-driven Chief of Staff.

Has a new directory been issued to spammy call centres?
I've been disturbed on three consecutive mornings.
I am TPS registered.

Help for Heroes, plz to be sorting your clothing sizes. I ordered a LARGE rugby shirt. Shirt arrived with a big black L on the label.

Anybody else would be selling this particular size as MEDIUM.

Snowing. FFS.
Sick of winter.

A very minor grumble, but a grumble non the less.

Idiots, please be selective about requesting read receipts with your emails. DO NOT set your email client to ALWAYS ask for a read receipt.

It irritates me no end that every time I get an email from you, no matter how trivial, I get asked if I want to send a read receipt. No, due to group policies, I can't set it to "fuck off I don't want to send and acknowledgement of me getting your email, and what's more, if I get one more of these I shall come around to your desk and remove body parts with a plastic spoon", mores the pity

Doctors receptionists.
Now, this is a sweeping generalisation, and doubtless there are some lovely people out there doing the job but EVERY SINGLE FUCKING HARPY I have encountered doing this job seems to think it's her job to protect doctors from patients.
i) 'Normal' is not what blood test results say, they give NUMBERS. Tell me the fucking numbers.
ii) "We don't have email". You are a fucking liar. Of course you do. You just have a policy not to email patients.
iii) "I can't post them to you". You can't post my results? You wont post them, more likely.
iv) "I'll ask doctor if you can have them". You what? I do not need someone else's permission to have my results.
v) "phone later today and I'll let you know what he says, and then you can pick them up". Riiiiight. I get to do a 20 mile round trip to save you a stamp & envelope.

I think I'll ask to send her an SAE when I call to see if my (actually quite pleasant and reasonable) GP 'lets' me have a copy of my results.

Glasgow say there are NO INT CORPS posts whatsoever in Grytviken.

Blast

Oh well. Back to the drawing-board.

Why does the LBS have everything displayed by manufacturer and not product type. To contrast and compare an item requires visiting 6 or 8 different display units.

PhilO · « **Reply #3014 on:** 22 February, 2013, 09:45:49 am »

Denizen of another parish, you took the trouble to respond to my 'wanted' ad, and email me with details of an item that you might have for sale. It's nearly a week since I replied asking for further information, so I assume that you've decided it would be too much trouble after all. Would it really have been so difficult to have just told me that?

*heads off to EBay to look for Rohloff hubs*

Giving up dieting for Lent is so backfiring on me. Trying out some interview oufits and getting frantic cause nothing fits. And all my beautiful bras make me look like I have four boobs. Damn.

Remind me at christmas to get my sister one of those pet feeders on a timer. It would be so much better than being woken by the cat at 5am every bloody morning.

At least house and cat sitting for her means I have a 10km ride to work to wake up properly.

CrinklyLion · « **Reply #3022 on:** 25 February, 2013, 11:54:37 am »

Yeah.... you do know that the mog'll wake you up anyway, don't you?

mcshroom · « **Reply #3023 on:** 25 February, 2013, 11:58:36 am »

Can I have my knees back not these aching wobbly things please?

Also, why was the only vehicle that managed to stop at the zebra crossing I was using this morning the cyclist?

This.
It's a fundamental law of the Universe, or something.

Never mind the rise of the machines, if cats ever evolve opposable thumbs we're well and truly screwed.
