A bogus gasman, here to ransack yer hoose.

I see you also are a project manager.

That makes so much sense.

My pre pandemic job was amazing because of the people I worked with. They were great fun and we would also go out together at the weekend.

After lockdown load sof people moved on to higher paid roles as did I.

My last 2 jobs have been friendless, even the hybrid one because even if you’re in the office, others are out so you’re still not forming relationships.

It would have worked better if it was an “everybody works from home Monday and Friday” but that removes all the flex…

Today in my remote job I have no work friends, but I also got a dog, spend loads of time with my new friends (neighbours who also have dogs), am completing a full time degree while working full time bacuse I have no commute and generally I’m significantly happier.

My house is actually tidy too because my 5 min breaks are tidy up breaks rather than piss about distracting someone else breaks.

This happened in my old place - also on the business side. Asked for python, got it, then had it immediately removed because of security risks.

I told the head that I could still access tables and shit via excel if I wanted so what does it matter? He didn’t realise this, and asked that I told no-one else it could be done. FFS.

Companies pay when people make mistakes.

Why the fuck would you fire someone when you just paid for a lesson that prevents further mistakes?

Yep, there’s a live stream on YouTube. If you roll it back you can see it.

Me too, I’ll engage for around 15-30 minutes then go and do some writing rather than spend 4 hours doom scrolling.

I’ve legit got so much work done it staggers the mind.

I stopped using Reddit completely on July first, and in that time I’ve got a reflective log completed and submitted, a report on disruptive fintech completed a week early and submitted and now a mini dissertation completed 2 weeks early.

It’s almost as if spending my time doing coursework is better than freaking out trying to finish it and submit to turnitin 30 seconds before the deadline while praying the connection doesn’t fail.

Anyway…

There was a guy joined my last organisation who would not shut the fuck up about Blockchain.

It was a retail org that sold branded mass produced stuff. There was no need for Blockchain but it was like, the only thing he knew about and his USP at interview stage.

He got fired. It was a good day.

They have been buying reviews.

Some of them hadn’t even changed the platform name to Reddit in their oh-so-general reviews.

This is what I do when I’m at busy events and the service is degraded.

Just keep cutting off levels until I get to one that works well.

I did exactly the same.

Went in with a “fuck spez” attitude and turns out I’d already had a fuck spez moment when I picked up sync after finding the Reddit app garbage.
