If you were surprised by Billy Ocean, you won't believe the news about Greg Lake. I think Ross Sea is still OK, though.
I am an absolute shambles this morning. I'm back in the office and I have totally forgotten how to be around people and have already been scolded for using the word "fuckwit". ( )
See when I discovered which one out of Timmy Mallett and Mallett's Mallet was actually a mallet, I was stunned, I tell you, STUNNED.
Not only is Dr Pepper not a real doctor, he's also not a pepper. Is anything in our world actually REAL?
eyes is the original - it was changed to side-eye which caused a bit of a dust-up. So now you can use both. "eyes" is actually an avatar version of gggggg/Bunty's Magic Vegetable. Welcome to The History Channel.
My little cousin's going for his driving test and it's reminded me of back when I did mine and took the corner so fast the examiner's clipboard flew off his lap and on to mine.
I made an Excel spreadsheet that will auto-calculate the furlough pay for a client's staff member so the client can submit the claim themselves as my company is no longer submitting the claims and I emailed it over to her on 11th November. She rang at ten to five tonight in hysterics because "I don't know what to do, I'm only a hairdresser, I shouldn't have to do this kind of stuff that's your job and that's what I pay you for!" so I just said "if you open the spreadsheet I sent you everything is on there that you'll need, I've already done the calculation for November so you just copy off there and paste each answer onto HMRC and then make a new tab when you're ready to do December, copy October onto it (31 days) and just type in how many furlough days you want to claim for in December and it'll work it all out for you". I was kind of expecting maybe a "thankyou, that's helpful, I'll have a go" but all I got was screamed at that she's too scared to ring and ask me anything because I'm so patronising, I'm always like that with her, I'm horrible, I make her feel stupid and she doesn't want me anywhere near her wages or accounts anymore! I tried to apologise, said it was never my intention to make anybody feel like that and certainly not her but she was having none of it. After she slammed the phone down on me I went and gave the boss a heads up and she said she'd ring her. I have a feeling they might not be clients for much longer. It's left me feeling quite upset, I've never been accused of patronising anybody before.
I'm going to a wedding in Toronto August 2021 (it should have been August 2020 but...) so I'll pick you up
Sounds like someone has taken out all their exasperation with the whole situation on you, @Floppet. I've had a few punters like that too.
Yeah, she sounds like someone who'd have kicked off no matter what you said. I imagine she wouldn't have found it patronising if you offered to do the whole thing for her while she put her feet up...
The best part is that she rang, another staff member answered the phone and she specifically asked for me! Why would she do that when I'm always so patronising and horrible to her? There are five other staff members she could have asked for.
It was awful, there's no excuse. We're all having a shit time of it so why would anybody want to make somebody else feel bad for no reason?
