Where the [LIFTED] are the rest of my wages!!!!!!!!
I spend four and a half weeks offshore of a five week month and my pay slip doesn't have any day rate on it at all.
Post decustions, tax etc that means I've been paid £4.19 per hour for thirty one, twelve hours shifts.

Some [LIFTED]'s going to get it in the neck if they don't correct this cock up soon!!!!!!!!!!

Sky blocked access to most torrent sites yesterday. I now do believe they are suffering a very potent ddos attack as The Internet seems to be packing up.

No. Surprisingly they're quite sensible about stuff like that. This was essentially a communication problem.

Just the security puts me off.

The recent Adobe hack was apparently much worse than they originally thought - something like 9 million Adobe ID account details were stolen. Adobe's laid-back response, that being hacked is just an unfortunate side effect of running an online business these days, doesn't exactly fill me with confidence about signing up to CC.

38 million, they had to up the figure this week, as they found out the full extent of the hack.

That is more a failure of bad management than incompetent staff. Bad planning and not appreciating the problems that may delay the project and planning in advance to minimise their impact is down to management.

Well I have to get a phone system installed. Thing is we'd ordered the latest licences that will work after the upgrade we're currently doing. Now they've moved the project and they want it installed a week before the upgrade. So now I'm frantically trying to find 85 spare licences on our system that we can use for one week. At the moment I only have 22 spare.

Ah well I do like a challenge.
