How'd you break it?

Talcum powder any use or is it unreachable?

Now HR are trying to fob me off over this issue in work - I can't even get straight answers to the questions I've asked, and HR are saying they can't see how anyone was treated unfairly!

The office has loads of line managers too, but apparently I can't get a new one that would instantly solve all the problems without grievance procedures :roll:

This is headed towards a tribunal.

Has anyone else noticed the amazon windowshop app for the iPad becoming less sensitive to use?. I am finding the reviews harder to access.

It's not wrapped or anything, I took it off as it was so uncomfortable. It itches when my feet get hot.

Both of those are possibilities, I'm waiting on work getting back to me.

The guy I share an office with is going to make me commit murder.
Ok, probably not, but his attitude's getting right up my nose at the moment.
Passive aggressive petty [LIFTED] that he pulls is pissing me off. :evil:

Earphones an option? You can always pretend they were his if they get wrapped round his throat ;)

It's more the fact that he's a bone idle sod, who comes in, works on his own projects using our resources, then gets tries to take the moral high ground any time I ask him to actually do something concerned with the job we're paid for.
He's been there for 25 years, and actually moved down a grade in order to claim more benefits, rather than pushing up the ladder.
I understand that my predecessor (who's moved up - the route I'm planning on taking) had a huge falling out. I don't know the exact reasons, but I can see it coming round again.

You get that in most organisations. Problem is that you have to work around them.

Why can't I send to my Windows PC? I have received a .mobi eBook. I can send it to my Kindle, I can copy it to my Android PC, but the Kindle app on my PC can't load eBooks and I can't send it to the PC! When I try and open the .mobi Windows chucks me into the Window Market Place to find a suitable reader, but Kindle isn't a suitable reader.

I also manually downloaded the .azw file that Amazon created with the send to Kindle function, but Kindle Reader can't open that either! :evil:
