There’s also the Oman Australia undersea cable in the area. Probably a good reason for “fishing boats” to be hanging out there.
Come on Seppostan, it’s not that hard to pronounce Worcestershire Sauce properly.
We went to the 9pm fireworks last night.
I have a new contender for dumbest people. Those that stand up to watch fireworks.
You worried you aren’t close enough to them or something?

I was once with people bushwalking when we emerged from dense bushland to a magnificent view of a sunset. One of our group started to walk towards it… to get a closer look.

Have a go at this absolute fuckwit.
The bridge that they’re crossing is a temporary structure put in place because the main bridge is being replaced. The path on and off the bridge is only compacted gravel, not bitumen.

Carrying on from the shitty annoying ads.
I just caught the latest ridiculous budget direct ad, where a creepy crawler turns evil and tries to kill a family in their house.
There is no fucking way they would pay out an insurance claim, in any of the advertisements that Budget Direct have put out in the last few years. No way in hell. They’d probably deny your claim on an act of god.
Budget Direct operator: “So lemme get this straight. Your pools creepy crawler came alive, dragged itself out of the pool, broke through your back door, and attacked your family, half destroying your home”.
Homeowener: (Stammering) “Yes, it was crazy. Then this random Scottish bloke rocked up with some lady in tow, and managed to stop it. It was so scary”.
Budget Direct operator: “The Scottish bloke was scary?”
Homeowner: “Yes…no…what? No not the Scottish bloke, the creepy crawler that went evil”
Budget Direct operator: “Have you been drinking?”
Homeowner: “What? No! But I need a few after that now”
Budget Direct operator: “Are you high on illegal drugs, or prescription medication?”
Homeowner: “What? No!”
Budget Direct operator: “You need help. Get yourself down to the local hospital for a psychological and Neuropsychological test assessment”.
Homeowner: “Huh, What’s that?”
Budget Direct operator: “It’s a big building, with patients. But that’s not important right now”.
Homeowner: You’re not taking my claim seriously. The creepy crawler came alive and tried to kill me and my family.
"Budget Direct operator: Denied.

Although I agree with you 100% they are still miles above Youi or whatever they call themselves. Fuck I hate those ads
Also while I’m on a rant, fuck Jonesy and Amanda as well. My bus driver insists on blasting those annoying twats

Jonsey and Amanda are alright.
Kyle and Jackie-O, however. One of the girls in the office has them on her radio, and often streams old episodes. Every time I hear Sandilands talk, I start feeling sympathetic to the Islamic States cause.
My wife worked in a pharmacy in the city and said Amanda was a complete douchebag whenever she came in.

A few years I started a mass declining of meeting with fuckwit times ( 0800, luncthime, 6:00pm ) with no explanation. People would email/chat me & ask me why & the best part was doing with again & again with no feedback until they slammed their collective fuckwit heads against a brick wall & worked it out. They got the message eventually.

I have always had a rule to never schedule any meeting on a Monday morning or a Friday afternoon (with the exception of a team weekly wind up involving wine). Not just rude but any work produced will suffer from Monday car syndrome.
“Sorry everyone has full schedules so I had to put the daily project meeting at at 1230”.

I once had a boss who thought having 2-3 hour meetings was okay. Thank fuck I don’t need to deal with that anymore.

I’ve started responding to meeting invitations with “tell me why my attendance is required”.
If you come with a meeting agenda, can clearly explain what outcomes you’re looking to get from the meeting and how I can help achieve those outcomes, I’m more than happy to accept.
If you can’t, it’s more than likely that you’re wasting both your time and mine.
I try to empower my direct reports to do the same.
Accepting every random meeting you’re invited to is being irresponsible to your employer.

I send all invites to my team with an agenda… if they don’t think they’ll contribute they don’t have to turn up - just means they forfeit their right of reply if they don’t like a decision that was made and on the aforementioned agenda.

The amount of blank meeting invites I get is astounding. God I wish I could retire already…and I’m not even 40!
