Had a look at twitter this morning and discovered that I had tweeted last night and put in a link for some adult image upload website. The only problem is that this tweet was made after I went to bed! I've changed the password but can't understand why anyone would target my account. No seriously, it's really boring!

Our boss, 'needing to be seen doing something' genius that she is, has decided that she's going to have everyone move desks in the office so that they're closer to their line managers (we have FIVE line managers in one office).
This means I'm gonna spend quite some time shifting all my stuff and the filing cabinets etc to less space where I'm going (I've a curve in my spine), having to get a new screen installed to go beside the large one that's already there (meaning even less space and seriously unsatisfactory viewing angles), getting the air-con above me blocked leaving the desk opposite either frozen or roasted...
Wanna know how far I'll actually be moving for all that hassle? Ten yards.
I mean somehow we've all gotten by sitting where we've been for years, but sure, let's uproot everyone for a plan that falls apart in a month's time when a girl comes back off maternity leave.
I'll be having a chat tomorrow, but we're talking about a woman who is so cold she couldn't understand why anyone would go to the funeral of a friend's father. Yeah.

for the pittance we were getting we decided it wasn't worth the hassle.

And that will be treated as "potentially fraudulent claims that have stopped claiming" and gone and got a job?

Busy moving furniture this morning when the phone rang. It was one of those "your PC has a virus" type calls. Within two seconds I had interrupted him to say "No Sam, my PC doesn't have a virus, now duck off!" and hung up. Mrs. V then had the cheek to give me a ticking off for being rude! This is the woman who, when I do talk to these people tells me to hang up! I just can't win...  Sent from my GT-N7000 using Tapatalk 4 Beta

No, more like trying to talk sense into the hurt pride brigade. It's still an ongoing 'discussion', or it will be Monday next when I'm back. Our boss wouldn't even let me finish a sentence never mind make a suggestion. Fcuking sociopath.

Do old people really need to fondle every loaf of french bread before they find one acceptable? They do the same with fruit too. I daren't think what they've got on their hands....

For fruit, that is normal. You need to look them over for damage and if you are going to eat them the same day, you need find one that is ripe, if you need them on a couple of days, then they need to be a little under ripe.

OK but it annoys me when people squeeze them. I even saw a lad lick a tomato and put it back. For bread, I won't buy the fresh loose rolls simply because of the number of random people who've fondled them. No matter how good they look and taste, you can't wash a roll like you can an apple.
