The Daily Heil, for being a bunch of lying fucking cunts who are out to villify people who every day make more contribution to the world than they will in their entire sad publishing history.

Admittedly, a dead meerkat makes more contribution than Dacre. The man is an utter waste of carbon.

TICTH managerial incompetence. My manager surpassed herself today. Told me something so stupid about such a basic part of our work that I was originally scared to ask for a second opinion in case she realises how stupid she's been and flat-out denies that she said what she did to me. Have decided I will think very, very carefully about the wording of the email I send (and copy her into) in order to ask for a second opinion. I thought managers were meant to support their staff, not add an extra layer - sod that, an extra few layers - of difficulty to the job.

On Saturday morning I used the journey into work† typing a rant about my moronic, nit-picking, self-appointed*, incompetent, layabout line manager on my phone and managed to lose it changing trains. I would have forgotten about it except he neither turned up to the weekend training or work today.

Advice for line managers:
  • A stream of micro-mismanaging texts starting at 8:07am and ending at 10:15pm on Friday is not the way to build staff morale and loyalty.
  • Reading your e-mails before starting to send said stream of consciousness texts prevents the member of staff nagged to do something completed and emailed the night before from cursing your name. Actually, reading your emails full stop would be a start.
  • Failure to attend any of the compulsory ** training over several weeks is a poor example;
  • A sick record which has meant that you haven't been in for a complete week for months if ever, including taking the day off to sleep whenever your baby son has kept you up all night really doesn't mean you're in any position to tell other members of staff or students that their attendance is unsatisfactory;
  • Passing off other people's work as yours isn't a way to win friends and influence people, least of all the person whose work was lifted.
  • Minutes should record an actual meeting, not a figment of your imagination;
  • Written work full of spelling and formatting mistakes and appalling grammar doesn't make you look like a proper line manager.
  • Pretending you don't know about the weekend training until the last possible minute is prevarication. You were given a hard copy of the email before Christmas and had you attended any of aforementioned training you would have heard about it then too. Giving excuses for not attending the night before is pathetic;
  • Telling "team members" to stop doing things so you aren't shown up isn't not a good tactic.
  • Misinforming your "team" with wishful thinking is counter-productive.

† OFSTED is coming. We got the joy of a weekend to train and organise
* he was my line manager when I started this job, but in September we were told I was reporting to someone else. He continued to micro-manage and to self-aggrandise as a line manager although I am damn certain it is not in his job description.
** compulsory training as instructed in a stream of texts and e-mails, but funnily enough, not for him

Bastard shoulder. What is PAIN that will not go away these 5 months? That steroid injections cannot dent? That painkillers bounce off of like an England rugby player off of Jonah Lomu?

Bastard shoulder clinic should have received referral early December. Why no send me an appointment? Even if in next millenium? Please??

Nice lady thank you for giving me clinic number on Friday afternoon. Oh (sad face) early finish, but answering service will be on yes.

No it fucking won't.

It would be nice to sleep..... so nice......

My ungrateful son who refused to play the nice Spice Girls CD I got him. He even requested it before I went off to the used book and CD store. I spent a whole 95 ¢ on the durn thing.

I think he is just jealous of my White Stripes and Black Keys CDs.

Plumbers. I have been trying to employ one to do our bathroom since oc-fucking-tober. We have not even managed to get a quote out of any.... The latest one should have been here forty five minutes ago, but I darestnot ring just in case he IS on his way and takes umbrage and we then have to start looking again.

I'm sure in other lines of employment you phone a person who does a thing, explain what needs doing, they tell you how much, and then it is done and you pay them. None of this endless arsing about phoning and emailing and never getting replies or getting appointments they never show to or (better still) they show up to take a look, agree to send a quote and are never heard from again.

Sounds like nobody actually wants your business. Is the work you want doing in your bathroom relatively small on the scale of bathroom remodels? Things must be pretty good for plumbers in York if they're all able to turn work away, though.

Fucking church politics! 60th anniversary of daughter church. Been trying for a year to get vicar to agree something can be arranged to celebrate, finally decided last month we could have a service (well thanks for that, it is after all a Sunday [brick wall] ) followed by a bring and share lunch. But.....no delegation to organise it, so everyone assumes someone else is doing it. Why then would anyone assume my husband (who is chair of outreach committee should be in charge of inviting the old vicar. Particularly since said vicar and new vicar do not get on. Why is my husband getting it in the neck for not inviting someone he hasn't spoken to for six years and has no idea how to get hold of? Yeah, passed that poison chalice straight back!

Fucking bloody earthquakes - the gift that keeps giving. So the drains are stuffed. The street is full of "Drain Surgeons" (it wasn't even fummy the first time guys) and they have a sucky maching that squeals which has set off my tinnitus.

Yeah, I know - it's a first world problem and it would be worse if they didn't fix them - but it's not only the machine that sucks.

The thread on my long running dental fucknuggetness has been transferred to oblivion but I need to scream about what is going on.

I finally got my tooth taken out last Friday. No sedation beyond taking a couple of valium to calm me down. I almost coped but it wasn't pleasant.

And now, just when I thought it was all over, I've developed a fucking dry socket which is even more painful then the original toothache. The dentist has put some horrible tasting gunk on the exposed bone but it hurts so badly I haven't slept in two days.

I thought it would all be over when the tooth was taken out and now I'm ready to jump off the nearest tall thing (which as I'm in the house at the moment is a table which will do no damage) to get rid of the pain and stop me lying in bed all night crying because it's so fucking bad.

I hate my teeth. I hate everything about teeth. I hate pain and I've run out of cope.

Had a dry socket after a tooth to be extracted got broken in half and removed after they had to drill holes in the pieces, insert screws into the holes and pull. Dry socket is nasty. [Votive] for you

But my call to hell is me this morning off the bike at a marked crosswalk and a truck and a car both swerve around in front of me. They almost sent me to hell as well. [Confused]

They prefer to wait until idiots like that actually kill someone, then they can say it's the sort of thing that could happen to everyone, the driver gets 3 points and £150 fine (if convicted at all) and we all get a lecture about magic polystyrene hats and hi-viz, like no-one has any obligation to actually look where they're fucking going.

TICTH inconsiderate neighbours who have parties, starting – starting, mark you! – at five past sodding midnight with music at nightclub volumes. During the working week (for me, not for them). Still, at least this one didn’t involve one fast response paramedic, one ambulance, two cars full of police and one van full of even more police. That one was two weeks ago...

TICTH puppy mills.

That's Bath for you. Toytown*'s residents have been NIMBYs since at least 1970 when I went to school there.

*Bath residents are disparaging about every other damned town, especially since the residents of the poorer and more rundown districts of that city were safely rehoused well outside Bath.

They prefer to wait until idiots like that actually kill someone, then they can say it's the sort of thing that could happen to everyone, the driver gets 3 points and £150 fine (if convicted at all) and we all get a lecture about magic polystyrene hats and hi-viz, like no-one has any obligation to actually look where they're fucking going.
I suspect the same thing would happen when a cyclist ignores the traffic lights at a pedestrian crossing and consequently knocks a pedestrian flying.

TICTH parents who don't value education for their kids - we have a couple of these families in the village and there seems to be no effort on the part of the parents [and even {completely illiterate} grandparents!] to encourage the kids to get an education so the kids are often not in school.

Thankfully it is a tiny minority but it is still far too many!

TICTH my evil teeth again. Gunk from the dentist fell off last night and it was nine hours before I could get to the emergency dentist to get more gunk. Nine hours of lying crying in pain despite having taken Tramadol.

I fear I have inadvertently disturbed the wrath of the tooth god.

TICTH next door's cat. I'm building a rock garden, not the world's biggest litter tray, you furry bag of shit. Use the one in your house.

( [Votive] for Chive, if I'm allowed to do that here. One more flame in Hell shouldn't make much difference.)

TICTH a well-known dark blue university that has absolutely no career progression or advice for senior technical staff, and having promoted total twats to positions of ridiculous authority where they can do meaningless "research" that pisses money (given by little old ladies to charities supposedly saving lives...) up the wall, then will do nothing about the impact their twattery has on other people.

The grammar in the above is probably worth at least a heck call, but sometimes you just have to have an inchoate blurt.

I'm aware I'm turning this thread into all about poor little me but that cunt of a dentist who put the gunk in my mouth today can fuck off to the deepest darkest pit of hell. THE GUNK HAS FUCKING FALLEN OUT What did I do to cause this? I yawned. Now the pain is back and the emergency useless dentist is closed til tomorrow morning and if I go then I'll miss yet another day of work.

Fucking useless incompetent piece of shiteing cuntiefuckpig.

Point? Dangerous road usersare underprosecuted regardless of vehicle? Or are you trying to imply that because some cyclists are careless no cyclists have a right to complain about dangerous drivers? Even those of us who always observe red lights and never ride on pavements? Does this guilt by association apply to drivers as well? Some speed therefore they're all speeders?

You do know far more pedestrians are killed on pavements by motorists than cyclists, I trust?
