Look on the bright side you're now in employment again that must be a relief after so many years without it, I hope it's going OK.

Re: Moans and Pet Hates
 

The jobs OK, I'm still a temp, but I don't know if I want to go permanent, there's too much BS going on, plus in recent week 5 Front Line Managers have quit.


I was eying up become the admin for my department (its a managers job, but no title and money), but as I said to many BS politics.


I flip between staying temp and going permanent.

I rarely have sausages on my braais, I may cook some 'wors but usually prefer to smoke larger cuts for longer.

Daughter is on holiday till the 4th August in the US her friend in the same block of flats she lives in sent her images of a letter everyone was given today. This letter is a Fire Prohibition Notice saying they have to vacate the property by 4pm on the 4th due to lack of fire protection between the flat no fire alarm system and no escape plan in place. For this to be rectified in time the management company needs to sort out the fire alarm system and escape plan the other will take ages and cost a fortune. They have known about this for a month and done nothing

I have called the Fire Protection and was told they will be allowed in after the 4th just not sleep their or use any appliances of shower .

Imagine getting this kinda news at the start of their dream family holiday

Company forcing Windows 11 on us today, laptop just started an upgrade.

Last time they did this (W7 > W10) I was offline for 2 weeks as it bricked my laptop, and took them 2 weeks to replace it ....

I hope everything goes OK this time!!

They should not do that!!

Re: Moans and Pet Hates
 

So this is your employer and not Microsoft forcing this?

Re: Moans and Pet Hates
 

Properly configured , Microsoft cannot force 10-11 upgrades

Paul, should be painless

Needing to get travel insurance so went to the first specialist agent for preexisting conditions. Price for 2 weeks in Greece was £270. I called them to see if my catheters would be covered, ie if luggage is lost would I be able to get a supply? No. What's the point then?
Went to an alternative and for £130 they told me on the catheters would be covered. I hope we don't have to test it.
