      I went along to Masterpiece London, which is an art fair / lifestyle event for the 1%.

      I took a snap of an Antonovici owl sculpture on one stand, and the owner gave a passive aggressive rant about not wanting pictures taken. As far as I could tell it was because he wanted to keep control of the image of his products.

      I don't want to burst his bubble, but virtually everyone in the building would have been carrying a device capable of posting an image to Instagram. You might not like it, but that's the reality. And if you've got a no photos policy then put up a fecking sign, rather than coming over as a Luddite ass. You might not alienate potential customers that way.

        You should have snapped a shot of him whilst bitching.

                          ^mine's in 12 hours time. Just spent 1 hours writing notes for 12 months worth of work. Annoyingly I can write notes (and did) that on paper should get me a substantial pay rise, yet, I imagine based on reality that has nothing to do with my KPI's I'm going to get boned. Will certainly be taking it to the mat, not sure how far I'll go once on the mat. If my KPI's don't align with what they were after, they should have written better bloody KPI's!. Woo go me, good rant 😮

                            Angered with a certain popular boot maker who seems to be biting off more than they can chew right now. Grrr… Oh well, last time I will attempt to have boots made by them 3 for 3 with bad experiences.

                                    Am still in the middle of getting boned, and it is a huge boning, went to the mat a little too long, and blew a 1 hour meeting into what looks like it'll be 2.5 hours. On the upside I've got around 2 hours a day of my life back due to giving less of a shit in there. If working 2.5 hours of free OT every day doesn't even get me inflation as a pay rise, there's clearly no point in my doing it. Was enlightening in that regard, that's for sure. No Fucks Given is my new motto in the office.

                                      Bad news man, Pam is going through something similar at the moment where she is working a consistent 8 and a half hours extra per week for no pay but when she needed an hour out to got to a medical appointment her boss made her use a half day of annual leave. I told her to look on it as getting her 8 and half hours a week back too. Fuck me, fuck you is the motto.

                                          There is no such thing as "vegan leather".

                                          It's idiotic and makes me want to strangle the marketing weasel that thought it up.

                                            Isn't most leather vegan? Cattle and horses are certainly vegans.

                                            Think it, be it.
