Random Rants

[Finn666]

if you in Gosport I'd vote for you and Giles (or Paula) to get drunk as fekk on a day or two!…still have a great time
mate and "enjoy" your trip as much as possible!...

[Giles]

We can arrange drunk.  Chin up dude….

[emceeQ]

Finn, that I can abide.  Arrived in London yesterday, and I'll be in Gosport in good time.

Thanks G, lookin forward to it…

[Giles]

4 hours to go before my alarm call.  Got some great images from tonight which I wanted to upload but FECKIN photobucket is down…..

Maybe in JP it is, but it works fine here…

[Giles]

I am getting an image resize error.  Seems to be pretty widespread reading the support threads.  Images emailed to you to see if you have more luck.  Thanks…G

[Guest]

Just got the same resize error–

Update:  When I got the error, I refreshed the page and uploaded the same images again...it worked the second time.

Photobucket has been a terror for you lately, hasn't it, Giles?  Must be extremely frustrating.:(

[Giles]

Pretty bloody annoying.  When I have just a few mins to spare, Photo feckiin bucket playing up, does not for a happy Giley make….

NEED TO RANT.

SO FUCKING HOT IN SINGAPORE!!

[Morose_Penguin]

"So… I know you started work at 6:30, but how about working 'til 16:30?"

Later that day...

"Would you come into work on Thursday?... I know it's one of your holidays but I'm really struggling..."

(Slap bang in the middle of three days off...).

I ****ing love my job some days!!

Icing on the cake? This years staff bonus isn't happening. The response from our wonderful store manager edited highlights:

Apologises for the length of this rant, but it's really getting me down at the moment…*wanders off in search of beer and #DoctorWhisky

[Seul]

Slight passive-aggressive action in that "communiqué"… Really rubs me the wrong way...

I just volunteered to come into work on my day off (Thursday) btw… Due to the hot weather, I have a much bigger delivery of stuff coming in on Friday and not the time to do it... Rather split it between two days than do it on one... Fucking sucks cause my boss knows this but refuses to add someone on Friday... In his defence: the only guy who could've been added quits May 31st  :-\

[Chris]

"…and hopefully be rewarded with a better bonus next year"?  Wouldn't that require them to give you a bonus this year?

That truly sucks, dude.  Terrible memo that makes me pissed and I don't even work there.  Sorry.:(

[hectic]

Yep, corporate wank to the max. Symps.

[Giles]

"over something that shallow" - just feck right off…...

[FurattoHeddo]

I'd bet you the wanker will be getting a fat bonus for himself though…

[emceeQ]

After a long day of delayed flights my last one was cancelled and I'm stuck in Chicago.  Fuck.

[Chris]

I know you're tired and ready to be home, but there are worse places to be stuck.  Though I suppose if all you're doing is camping out in the airport, where you are is irrelevant.

[emceeQ]

@Chris:

Definitely true, and I am thankful to be stuck at O'hare instead of Midway as well.

That being said holing up  in the airport overnight is never all that pleasant

Someone just sent me an email and asked what would my best price be of a pair of IH-9634Z to a first time buyer.  My reply was USD350 (i.e. list).  He just came back and said "I was thinking more like USD300".  I told him to think what he liked…..
