I had to send out a presentation to an important customer yesterday, but only after my boss had vetted it. He was on the phone until 19:00!

Windows Vista... Yes, I know, but it was the only install disc I could find, and I was in a hurry.

The last Service Pack was SP2. Why would I assume that I can install that, without having to install SP1 first?

Thanks Microsoft. It only takes a few minutes to download but... that's not the point.

After the faff of the various log in details required for the online payslips - which as I'll use them once a month, I'll almost certainly forget - I've been told that my overtime claims now have to be in by the 20th instead of the month end.
I was told this at about 10am, and 4 days late.
And they'll be paid a month in arrears.
Which means it'll be June before I see anything from this months endeavours.

I still don't have online payslips, because the line manager hasn't worked out how to make sure our days get treated as 12hrs and not 7.5hrs.
Same for holidays. They are trying to make sure that a single day annual leave is equal to 12hrs, otherwise I will have to use 1.5 days leave to take a single day off.

You'd think that this would be all sorted out by now, considering I've been in the job for a year.

Yeah, online payslips are rubbish in the main - the system's down, or you can't remember your details and/or log in for some reason, or you need the details while you're at home... You always wind up printing them off anyway at some point!

Not only are our payslips online now, but they're nearly impossible to work out. The worst I've ever soon by far.
Why they can't just email them to us every month rather than us having to log in is beyond me.

Our payslips are just auto-emailed password protected PDFs, and look exactly the same as our paper slips did.

we get paper payslips. And once more my tax code is wrong! ;a][rlhakrp[jshr !!!!!

Our MD walks round and hands them out personally

I get monthly paper payslips and the practice manager usually just sticks it on my desk (in a sealed envelope).

I used to work for a company where that happened. I'd say "thank you," and he'd reply "no, thank YOU".

We get electronic pay slips - they're exactly the same as the old paper ones except you have to log in to the HR self service system to view them.
They print out alright... in colour... cost saving my flabby backside.
You could opt out and still receive a paper one which the post guy now has to deliver to the entire site - he's not a happy bunny on pay day as he needs to collect a signature for each one to prove it was delivered.

So my credit and debit cards were replaced in less than 48 hours (reported 1530 on Tues, arrive home Thurs PM to find they're there). Driving license is gonna take 2-3 weeks.

Walked all the way down to the cinema earlier in Belfast's alternating warm/muggy weather only to be told there was maintenance going on in the Locke screening - the only other shows were kids films and The Other Woman. Apparently I should have checked their website for updated information, never mind that it's listed in every newspaper, app...

I wish to fcuk my parents would lock the back gate!

Standing there picking my nose, as you do, to find the neighbour and her daughter have traipsed into the yard. I then have to abandon my snack and can of Coke since I had to go and get mother dearest and then avoid the usual nattering
