Minor Annoyances (Vol 2)

'Rest bite'. It's respite. If you are working for an organisation that puts put national advertising surely someone should be proof reading to make sure you get such a key word right? It hardly inspires confidence in people who are expecting you to provide care for their loved ones if you can't even get the word right.

Sounds like a good fit for this

If, in 2025, you're still the type of person who shouts out "Run Forrest, run" when someone starts running, you can fuck off. Especially if you look around waiting for approval and a pat on the back. 

This may or may not have something to do with an idiot at work.

I didn't know anyone did that in the first place.

Why were you running?

Notifications that won't disappear. I've got one on my work Teams that's been there for about a week. If you click on it, it doesn't highlight anything new or take you to something. Earlier on I clicked on absolutely everything in that section to see if it would shift it, no avail. Double clicking does nowt. Right clicking brings up an unrelated menu. I am at a loss.

I had this for ages, and I think I cleared it by opening the chat tab, 3 dots at the top and then using 'Mark all as read'

Godspeed @gmoney

I have one from today. My manager is really lovely but she'll have a tendency to get distracted while we're on a call, write an email, respond to someone else etc, and I'm sat there in silence for bloody ages.

Today we were working on a document together (which I fucking hate as I really can't work that way 'live') and she went from "Right so point 17.4..." and then did some other bits for around 3 or 4 minutes, and in the end I had to intervene as it became painful, with a "Right so where did we get to"

If I'm on a call with you, you have my undivided attention (apart from Seinfeld in the background) please show me the same courtesy.

Half an hour into training this morning. Step one is to download a Remote Desktop link and log in. One trainer over teams trying to get five people to do this. Trainer has asked everyone to follow the steps at the same pace. This is not happening. Two people already had it installed and were chatting loudly about what the password is (not yet provided), two of us unable to get that far due to incorrect administrator privileges. The final person still stuck trying to click the embedded link on the word document. With increasing levels of frustration, repeating the question “it says control and click to open the link, but which one’s click? Where’s click? Where’s click?? I’ve got control where’s click?” 
 

I hate everyone.

Shitheads setting fireworks off at 2245 on Sunday night. Ffs. Thankfully the pup seems unfazed though...

[deathrey]

It's Diwali tomorrow so likely to be more of the same from people who have nothing better to do. Luckily it's pissed it down with torrential rain all day to day so no fireworks here

Emails like this do my head in. Just a load of bullshit in a 'playful' tone. Fuck off.
