Forumite very kindly mailed me his unused membership packs. I am out of state so membership is just to keep my streak going which means a scrap amongst my kids. He knows who he is and he has earnt a few beers. Glad to be part of a community with decent guys (and a smattering of arseholes).

Nothing wrong with having your arshole smattered occasionally

I loled at that for a while but then figured it must be fake. Why doesn’t the judge have a video feed?
And how are the other two on the call keeping a straight face?
I got that from an article in the New York Times so I am guessing they checked and it is not fake.
Yeh I mean a lot of legit publications are sharing it so you could be right.
Every time I have days off, it fucking rains.
High 20’s all week, rains all days off. Harkens every fucking time.
I just wanted to go camping at the beach 
Rain makes a bad lubricant.

Got CC’d into an email today at work. It was pretty much a junior staff member outside our lab, who was unhappy with the lab and was trying to get me involved so I could tear them a new one. Only problem is that he was the one that had screwed up royally. Nothing gives me more pleasure than being able to tear him a new one, especially as he was fully aware of my lab’s operating procedure and was trying to throw a major mistake onto my lab and make it look like it was our fault.
Said staff member has then tried to involve his boss, not realizing she’s still technically lower in the management structure than me. We dig into it and discover that on top of the above, he’s also failed on carrying out direct instructions from the managing director…

That’s nothing.
Absolute weapons grade bell end at work. Arrogant, condescending, lazy and self obsessed. Had a real personal go at me when I reduced his insane discretionary costs budget during COVID.
Just received his contract renewal in the fortnight in the fortnight I have delegated authority to non- renew. Call has been made up the chain already but I’m the messenger. I’ll be professional but fuck it will be sweet.

Today was a hard day, at least in relative terms. I’m working with a client whose IT Service performance is completely in the toilet, so I’m running a series of workshops to document the ‘challenges’ and develop a plan to address the actual causes of shitness as opposed to the symptoms.
In both of todays workshops I had people who were clearly lying, claiming that they did things that simply did not happen, telling me everything was working well and people were happy with the services. they have no data, no structure, no ownership, no investment and transaction volumes are up by at least 30% and not in a good way.
It’s really hard not to yell ‘Stop fucking bullshitting me, you embarrassing clown’. Cleanup is going to be a job and a half and there will be some broken eggs by the end of it.

A relatively new member (about a year in) in my golf club. I had a game with him and decided to avoid him like the plague. Expert at everything, telling everyone else what was wrong with their swing, how the country should be run etc, etc. An absolute pain in the arse.
One Saturday he was in a group of 4 and he was going off about the sentence Neville Wran’s daughter received and how it showed what was wrong with the system and what he would have done in the judge’s place.
The other 3 in the group let him rave on for a while until one of them turned to him and said “I thought I made it quite clear in my summing up”.
